Out of curiosity, what firm are you applying to?

I'd go for something innocuous (no toilet humour) and somewhat witty / relevant (as witty as a knock-knock joke can be at least).

Knock-knock. Who's there? Cereal. Cereal who? Cereal pleasure to meet you.

Knock-knock. Who's there? Dishes. Dishes who? Dishes a real nice place you got here.

"Work is the curse of the drinking classes" - Oscar Wilde
 

Agreed,

Knock Knock Who's there? Yo-duh-lay-hee Yo-duh-lay-hee who? I didn't know you could yodel!

Or if you think they'll get it, I like this one:

Knock Knock. * Who's there? *To To Who? To Whom

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there" - Will Rogers
 

You: "I've got a great one, but you have to start it" Interviewer: "Okay..... Knock-knock" You: "Come in!"

"In order to make a man covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain." ― Dan Ariely
 

Then he would go... 

Interviewer: knock knock
You: Who's there?
Interviewer: You're fired.
You: You're fired...
Interviewer: interrupts thank you; but we've decided to move forward with another application who better fits the role.
