Layer of the English language because a lot of dad jokes
8
42219
3920
00:46

13
67990
2599
01:11
Defining what is a dad joke why do we call it a dad joke it's the kind of humor that?
14
71439
5660
01:18
Middle-aged men particularly fathers, or dads who have family maybe children might tell so they're
15
78670
7669
01:26
appropriate jokes
16
86860
1250
01:28
And they often use puns or play on words so when a word has more than one meaning
17
88110
6629
01:34
or if you can sort of
18
94740
2000
01:37
Put two words together or maybe a word that has you know a double meaning like I said, so I'll show you some examples
19
97509
6170
01:43
Too okay, so I love dad jokes because they play with the English language

Okay, five dad jokes are you ready we're gonna start with number one. How do you know?
34
174780
6830
03:02
When a joke is a dad joke
35
182400
2750
03:07
When it's a parent a
36
187140
2000
03:10
Parents is a word that
37
190470
2000
03:13
means clear or obvious
38
193110
2240
03:15
but when we say in two different words a
39
195989
2540
03:19
Parent a parent could be a mother a father a dad therefore a dad
40
199560
5059
03:24
Joke, huh? It's it's pretty good. Isn't it okay number two?
41
204630
5329
03:30
What did the candle say to the other candle?
42
210780
3380
03:35
What do you think?
43
215190
1650
03:36
The candle said want to go out tonight
44
216840
2360
03:41
So wanna go out obviously means to go out on a date, but when a candle flame
45
221850
7879
03:50
Goes out
46
230340
1950
03:52
That means that the flame has been extinguished, and there is no more fire
47
232290
4699
03:57
So oh did the fire go out did the flame go out? We can also use that phrasal verb and we're talking about
48
237209
5720
04:03
Candle lights so it's a double
49
243660

63
303490
1489
05:04
I love the most of all especially for English learners because we can talk about the stress on a compound noun
64
304979
7230
05:12

67
322479
4880
05:28

328720
2029
05:32

69
332259

70
336219
3170

napping
