Do you call a fish with no eyes?
That wasn't funny, was it?
Did i make you smile?
Did you laugh?
Hell no, if you understood the joke, but you didn't laugh.
Your english is good.
Let me explain.
Understanding english is one thing, Being able to understand English humor is a whole other story.
Why is it difficult to understand humor?
Because usually, jokes rely on double meanings or phonetics and pronunciation.
For example, the joke I started with, what do you call a fish with no eyes?
The word eyes can have double meanings.
Eyes or the letter I.
So to be able to understand the joke, you need to know both meanings.
And so if you understand the jokes, your English is good because you can understand them.
Yes, definitely.
That is what we're going to do in this lesson.
I have selected five dad jokes from the least funny to the funniest.
So make sure you watch this video until the end because I have saved the funniest joke for the last.
I'm going to tell you the joke and we will see if you laugh or if you don't laugh, and then i'm going to explain why the joke is funny or, in most cases, not funny.
Let's start with the first one.
If apple made a car, would it have windows?
Well, that wasn't funny at all in my opinion, but It's a joke.
So what's so special about it?
Did you understand it?
This is a classic double meaning play on words.
See, every car needs to have windows, right?
So if Apple, the technology company, make cars, it's going to have windows.
But at the same time, the biggest competitor of Apple is Microsoft.
And Microsoft has this operating system called Windows.
So here's the joke.
The double meaning of Windows.
Is it Windows or is it the operating system of Microsoft?
If Apple makes a car, is it going to have Windows?
I mean, personally, I didn't like this joke.
That's why I said it first.
The next one is going to be a bit funnier, I promise.
Let's do this.
You know what?
Jokes about German sausages are the worst.
That was funny.
But do you get the joke?
Jokes about German sausages are the worst.
Okay, this is a joke on pronunciation.
But why is it funny?
See, if something is really bad, what is the superlative adjective of bad?
The worst.
It's very bad.
But also, in German, sausage is called worst.
So worst, worst.
A German sausage is called worst.
So jokes about German sausages are the worst.
Uh, it was kind of funny, did you smile?
No, i mean, i liked it all.
Right okay, let's go to the next joke.
Let's go, i hope you're enjoying it.
I'm enjoying it so much.
Let's go to the next one.
What is a ghost's favorite dessert?
Ice cream.
Okay wait, this was Not the funniest, but let me explain the joke.
Ice cream is a dessert.
Say it fast.
Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream, ice cream.
It sounds like I scream.
I scream, I scream.
Now, what is a good dessert?
Ice cream.
But we have a ghost.
What is a ghost's favorite dessert?
A ghost is happy when it makes you scream.
So a ghost's favorite dessert is ice cream.
Are you laughing?
Hell no!
No?
I mean, I'm enjoying it, but we're getting to the good jokes, so stay with me.
I love the next joke.
A blind man walks into a bar, then a table, then a chair.
Not funny.
Oh, God.
A blind man walks into a bar, then a table, then a chair.
Why is it funny?
This is again a double meaning example of a joke.
See, most of the jokes usually begin with a man walks into a bar.
A bar is a place where you go to have fun with your friends and drink.
It's like a pub.
So a blind man walks into a bar, but then a table and then the chair.
Why is it funny?
Because bar has two meanings.
One of the meanings is the pub, a place where you go and drink and have fun with your friends.
But the second meaning, it's the literal meaning of the word bar.
It's like a physical object.
So a blind man walks into the bar, then the table ouch, then the chair.
So it's like, because the blind man can't see, so he walks into a bar, then a table, then a chair.
Not funny?
No?
Okay.
Yeah, what if a blind man sees this video?
What?
No, not funny.
Moving on to my favorite joke.
Now, guys, look, to be frank, I would have to change my name.
God, that's a good joke.
Did you get it?
No?
Come on.
To be frank, I would have to change my name.
Okay, look, look.
Again, double meanings.
This is very funny.
You know, in English, to be frank means to be honest, to tell you the truth.
To be honest, I don't like this place.
To be frank, I don't like this room.
But also, Frank is a common English name.
So if I want to be Frank, I need to change my name, because my name is Matty.
If i want to be frank, i need to change it from maddie to frank.
So to be frank, i would have to change my name.
Not funny, come on, that was my best joke and congratulations guys, if you didn't laugh to my lame jokes, your english is great.
Yes definitely, because you understood the jokes, but you didn't find them funny.
All right, I have one more.
I have one more.
