Knock knock jokes via autocomplete
This bot creates knock knock jokes by hitting up autocomplete on Google. This is perhaps the dumbest bot of all time. And yet! I am compelled to share amazing jokes like these.

Oh, yeah, I meant to link the source. It's a Node app that hits up the Wordnik API for a random word, goes to the undocumented Google autocomplete API with that word, formats the joke with one of the results, does a little filtering for outright heinousness or autocomplete garbage, then posts to Twitter.
