orange you glad

Knock-knock finale

Orange you glad is a punning phrase that substitutes "orange" for "aren't," exploiting their phonetic similarity.

It appears almost exclusively as the punchline to a children's knock-knock joke: Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

The phrase has become shorthand for corny, predictable humor.
