Knock-knock jokes are well entrenched in certain countries such as the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, the U.S.A., Canada, and South Africa. In other nations, such as Brazil and Germany, they are practically unknown.

Well, I'd guess that somehow, someway, the knock-knock joke had to have originated somewhere in the late-era British Empire, and was probably passively disseminated by emigration, foreign service, traders, etc... throughout that sphere. That's just a guess though...
