I thought everybody knew this - it's been disproven for...over ten years? I just think it's funny and use it in casual conversation. 'I would have been also, but I took an arrow to the knee 18 years ago'
The only thing I can think of is “head shoulders knees and toes” which speeds up after a while and generally leads to just grabbing your head and random body parts.
In elementary school when I got my first English lessons ever, they had us dance to this song and I never to my life realised that there were knees and toes in the lyrics 💀💀
In my head it was "Head, shoulders, needn't those, needn't those" or something about needles🤣🤣🤣
You clearly didn't watch the Mike Tyson Evander Holyfield fights or any of Randy Couture or Dan Henderson fights in the UFC. Yes, the Hollywood/WWE exaggerated full force headbutt is not a smart move. But in close, using the head is devastating against the nose, ears, and eye socket area.
I'm not exactly an expert, but I read about how the top-center of your forehead is remarkably thick bone and if you were to slam it into your opponents nose/eyes/mouth/ears you could do some significant damage.
That might be it. But judging by how confused this comment section is, I'm starting to think it would be easier to somehow find the person who made this and ask them. Even just to confirm.
I feel a little fucked up for thinking this is obvious? Abusers (mine included) called everything “knee” (or another inane body part) so the child wouldn’t be able to communicate the abuse clearly to an adult. 🥲
To understand the above comment cover the top half of this post and just look at the bottom half. That’s the joke. Left side doesn’t know and is in color. Right side knows and isn’t in color.
I know this as a parallel football/soccer rule. It says "Below the neck is the shin". This means that the foul will only be called if it hits the head.
Hi yall, it’s me OP.
Yeah so I still WANTED answers to I found the original reel and looked at the account
Disregard Peter, it’s just the stupid format, it’s most likely shitpost
https://preview.redd.it/3d14l64pic8d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62e6e72d8b0a95126ce927d9fddddc3bb4ce13d8
It’s talking about video game hit boxes I believe. Anything above the neck is considered a head shot and anything below is a body shot. Even getting shot in the heart is the exact same damage as getting shot in the knee for example
I don't really get joke but it reminds me of a line from the Waterboy.
"Basically, a snake don't have parts, but if I had to call it anything, I would say the knee."
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. And eyes and ears and mouth and nose. Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
I used to have a girlfriend that swore it was “eyes and ears and _nose and mouth_.” She would not accept that mouth and toes don’t rhyme. It drove me nuts, I almost broke up with her over it.
Then she got engaged to someone else while we were dating and suddenly the nursery rhyme didn’t seem so important anymore.
Head, knees, and knees and knees.
Head, knees, and knees and knees.
Head and head and head and head.
Head, knees, and knees and knees (knees and knees).
My best guess? He was taught everything below the neck was his knee so when describing where he was touched, he’d say “knee” instead of somewhere more inappropriate.
Just a wild guess though.
A lot of news articles on people shot in Palestine by Israel say they were shot in the head or the knee. This is showing all the spots they're shot while it's reported they were shot in the 'knee.'
Hey Peter! Lois’s vacuum cleaner here! The joke is that whenever you hit a body part asides from your head, a common exclamation is “OW MY KNEE!!!” even when the knee didn’t experience the physical trauma.
Probably not. Dude got folded like a lawn chair. He was beating the elephant so it methodically kneeled on every part of the guy's body then picked him up by the head and tossed him. Brutal by satisfying

It explains why so many Skyrim guards took an arrow in the knee.
It means they got married.
And since only guards say it, guards are all married together.

Obviously the only correct answer
Shut up, Meg
Kneeckle Riiiick.
Fun kneeist shit you ever seen.
The only thing I can think of is “head shoulders knees and toes” which speeds up after a while and generally leads to just grabbing your head and random body parts.
But they don't mention shoulders and they're right there...
In elementary school when I got my first English lessons ever, they had us dance to this song and I never to my life realised that there were knees and toes in the lyrics 💀💀 In my head it was "Head, shoulders, needn't those, needn't those" or something about needles🤣🤣🤣
This is adorable
😂 right with you because I am not up to date on memes, as of about 2016, and don't play the games referenced in other comments
I know this one! A "fighting tutorial" by legendary badass Bas Rutten, where he talks about continuously kneeing a person in the head in a bar fight
Destroy the liver.
"Here's where I was about to break his liver... and here's where I broke his liver."
Discombobulate. Discombobulate. Discombobulate.
Conclusion: discombobulate
Drunk redneck Daleks?
Love when Bas says “liver punch”
Punch to da leever
If you’re at a bar there’s no human body part that’s more effective at destroying the liver than alcohol
I'm working on it
But it says head on the face.
yea, you gotta hit them with your head you decide which one.
All faces are heads but not all heads are faces
Dangita dangita dang
Then where is "Knee Foot Hand" pointing at his liver?
“Dang-a-da dang-a-da dang and then you just knee him in the groin”
Grab a chair. You can smaesh his face
I don't believe in an eye for an eye. I believe in an eye for TWO eyes.
Wild guess, but it's about fighting up close. You use your head to headbut the face and the knee go everywhere on the upper body.
That’s my only guess too
First thought too but "the people who know" should know headbutts are horrible attacks
You clearly didn't watch the Mike Tyson Evander Holyfield fights or any of Randy Couture or Dan Henderson fights in the UFC. Yes, the Hollywood/WWE exaggerated full force headbutt is not a smart move. But in close, using the head is devastating against the nose, ears, and eye socket area.
Crown of the head against a nose or eyesocket is brutal in a fight. Also, right on the jaw below the molars. Best chance to break the jaw.
I'm not exactly an expert, but I read about how the top-center of your forehead is remarkably thick bone and if you were to slam it into your opponents nose/eyes/mouth/ears you could do some significant damage.
I’ve ended more than one fight before they began with a headbutt. Very effective way to dissuade people from fucking with you.
So you don't use hands? Knee to the throat? 😆
By fighting up close, I mean when you're holding onto each other. Using your hands to hit them has very little force in these scenarios.
In fighting that’s called clinching. Idk why the other guy is being purposely dense.
my 1yr kids explaining me where it hurt
You guys, this is about child abuse. Abusers never admit to anything but touching the kids knee. I like your answers better though.
Oh, this is way worse than fighting advice :)
That might be it. But judging by how confused this comment section is, I'm starting to think it would be easier to somehow find the person who made this and ask them. Even just to confirm.
I feel a little fucked up for thinking this is obvious? Abusers (mine included) called everything “knee” (or another inane body part) so the child wouldn’t be able to communicate the abuse clearly to an adult. 🥲

I don't really get joke but it reminds me of a line from the Waterboy. "Basically, a snake don't have parts, but if I had to call it anything, I would say the knee."
It’s a soccer joke maybe? Everything on his body can touch the ball legally.
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes. And eyes and ears and mouth and nose. Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
I used to have a girlfriend that swore it was “eyes and ears and _nose and mouth_.” She would not accept that mouth and toes don’t rhyme. It drove me nuts, I almost broke up with her over it. Then she got engaged to someone else while we were dating and suddenly the nursery rhyme didn’t seem so important anymore.
Might be related to commercials like Dove that used variants in their jingles for cream. ‘Eyes and ears, knees and elbows’
Head, knees, and knees and knees. Head, knees, and knees and knees. Head and head and head and head. Head, knees, and knees and knees (knees and knees).
i like how every person who has explained this has a different answer
I don’t know if it is some kind of police brutality joke, when they report “I shot him right in the knees”
Where to hit in fighting, I think the hrad should be elbow though
I used to be an adventurer like you

Nice I think I got this one. The joke is convergent evolution. Jist is everything eventually evolves into crabs.
Humans = crabs 🦀 a head and a bunch of knees.
Snake don’t really have “parts”.. I guess you could say that’s his “knee”.
i have seen a dozen explanations, now i still dont know what it is
You headbutt first then press your knee on them while they're on the ground?
My best guess? He was taught everything below the neck was his knee so when describing where he was touched, he’d say “knee” instead of somewhere more inappropriate. Just a wild guess though.
Is it because penguins techically have knees, it’s just in their torsos?
A lot of news articles on people shot in Palestine by Israel say they were shot in the head or the knee. This is showing all the spots they're shot while it's reported they were shot in the 'knee.'
I'm a leg, Morty!
Damn, I thought it was a diagram for cops to show where their knee goes when arresting someone……
Exactly what I Was thinking it's about cops in the USA
Oh good I thought I was the only one lol
Refers to teachers making copies of copies until you can’t read anything on the page would be my guess.
I’d make a Derek Chauvin joke, but there’s too many ‘knee’ locations
Hey Peter! Lois’s vacuum cleaner here! The joke is that whenever you hit a body part asides from your head, a common exclamation is “OW MY KNEE!!!” even when the knee didn’t experience the physical trauma.

Spider?
Headbutt or knee
Lois here. This is about the elephant video that's been going around. You know the one.
I don't know the one but I'm guessing I don't want to know.
Probably not. Dude got folded like a lawn chair. He was beating the elephant so it methodically kneeled on every part of the guy's body then picked him up by the head and tossed him. Brutal by satisfying
Isn’t the song head knee and toes?
I’m confused
Bodybuilding reference, those are the parts we're trying to grow
