Daily Alpha Update: Knock-Knock Nightmares
Posted by Sir Max on January 23, 2014 at 2:00 PM
I have horrible news today, everyone. I knew this day would come, yet I never expected it to be so soon. I tried to stop them, but they just wouldn't listen. The Toon Council came together with a very tough descision, one that I believe many of you will be wary of.
Today, January 23rd, has been declared as "Knational Knock-Knock Day".
Alright, so maybe it's just me who doesn't like Knock-Knock jokes. Who can't crack a smile at the punny perfection of a complete Knock-Knock joke? I'll tell you who: Me. Quite a while ago the Toon Council hosted a Knock-Knock Joke contest, and allowed the top 10 jokes to be taught to the doors once they arrived. The one problem with that is that someone has to judge every single one of those jokes that were submitted. That someone is me.
It serves me right for volunteering for something, too. Knock-Knock Judger sounded like an absolutely fabulous job. I get to spend all day reading hilarious jokes, am I right? I was wrong. I read over 5,000 of those horrifyingly hysterical jokes that nearly knocked me into a knock-knock induced coma!
Don't get me wrong, it has its benefits. If there's ever an awkard silence, I know exactly how to break it with one of the 5,000 knock-knock jokes that were shoved into my brain. It's great for Parties!
Anyhoo, to celebrate Knational Knock-Knock day, Mayor Mickey ordered hundreds of doors to line the streets of Toontown. They can't even open! Just give them a knock, and they'll give you a preposterous pun to go with it. You can check out the winners of our Knock-Knock contest on the Silly Street doors, along with many other jokes all across Toontown. Be warned, toons: A jumble of too many jokes is nothing to be jesting about. Nothing to jest about at all. But hey, at least the doors are here for just one day. Tomorrow this Knock-Knock Nightmare will be over with.

It's nice that it's not door anymore. Isn't it weird though that all those toons were named door. :3

Well, toons are known for their silliness so we should all enjoy this because it's the first silly update.

Knock-knock doors were always an underrated feature, and the submitters were, too, underrated!

I have to say, I used to be a hardcore ToonTown player, I first got introduced to it by my cousins when I was really young, oh man was that game awesome. One day after many years of not playing I decided to come back and saw that it was being shut down, I was so disheartened and sad that I thought nothing could save it. But lo-and-behold, you guys come to save the day ;) I don't have an account but, I really appreciate that you guys (and gals I'm sure) are doing this, it made me so happy to see people so into this game that they are willing to pour blood, sweat and tears (not to mention your own money) into re-creating and improving upon what was the epitome of my childhood for online entertainment. Awesome to see.. -Tom
