Does Sooty's joke fall within the definition of a knob gag?

It does yes.

A woman walked into the pub and asked the barman for a large double entendre so he gave her one.

Wouldn't strictly speaking.

...and tripods etc.

Many great subjects for Jennie to talk about with her candidates.

I still don't think I get it. I need to understand. It is essential to my comedy writing development.

I thought a knob gag was a gag about male genitals.

But - you are telling me a knob gag is actually where the genitalia is metaphorically substituted for an innocuous object.

Your "he gave her one" wouldn't be a knob gag, because... I don't know why. But it wouldn't be.

Yes a knob gag is a gag that uses an innocuous object or phrase as a reference to the phallus.

The sheep are lying down. That means it's going to rain.

WOMAN
Thats a fallacy!

MAN (cupping groin)
No that's a fallacy!

What man would fail to be seduced by a well written knob gag?

In fact, maybe I should make my profile a series of knob gags.

That will give out the right impression.
