My homie from jail said a regular knot works just fine

Sorta, the rope needs to tighten as you pull on it to work properly, because it has to be pretty loose to get over someone's head.

There are other working knots, a slip knot will do (it's basically the same idea but simpler) just fine. But there's a reason the hangman's noose was used for so long.
