Dad jokes often include
a pun, which is a humorous
4
18629
3649
00:22
use of a word or phrase,
which has several meanings.
5
22379
3750
00:26
For example, I'm the pun king. Get it?
6
26429
4279
00:30
Because it sounds like pumpkin.

While dad jokes are hated by some,
8
33630
2009
00:35
they can help you to
learn some homonyms.
9
35880
2178
00:38
A homonym is a word that
sounds the same or spelled
10
38159
3231
00:41
the same as another word,
but has a different meaning.
11
41490
3089
00:45
For example, bat and bat.

Let’s have look at some dad jokes now.

Did you enjoy your trip?
Send me a postcard next time.
14

Why isn't he laughing?
15
71219
931
01:13
Let me explain why you
should’ve laughed.
16
73019
2371
01:15
Trip has two different meanings.
17
75659
2700
01:18
One is to fall over,
the other is to go on holiday.
18
78750
4289
01:23
When you tripped and fell over,
your father was talking about
19
83430
4099
01:27
the holiday trip and told
you to send him a postcard,
20
87629
3541
01:31
so that’s why it's funny.
21
91620
1380
01:34
I can see why that’s funny
now that you've explained it.
22
94409
2970
01:38
Thank you. No problem.
23
98849
1170
01:42
I'm hungry. Oh, hello Hungry.
I'm Dad. Nice to meet you.
24
102129
5700
01:55
Why isn't he laughing?
25
115390
1439
01:58
Let me explain why you
should’ve laughed at this joke too.
26
118269
3181
02:02
We use the verb, to be, when talking about
27
122230
2329
02:04
feelings and states of being.
28
124659
1860
02:06
For example, I'm hungry.
29
126909
2129
02:09
Which is the same as when
we tell someone our name.
30
129520
2579
02:12
For example, I'm George.
31
132610
2249
02:15
So, your father pretended to
think you were introducing
32
135250
3230
02:18
yourself and said nice to meet you.
33
138580
2970
02:22
That’s why it's funny.
34
142120
1079
02:25
Oh, I can see why I should’ve laughed now.
35
145599
3481
02:29
That is an excellent joke. Thanks.
Would you like some more onions?
36
149860
5790
02:35
Oh, yes, please.
37
155889
1680
02:37
Well, you can have one
more and that’s shallot.
38
157750
3389
02:49
I don’t understand.
39
169110
869
02:52
This joke is funny because shallot
is a type of onion and it sounds like,
40
172439
5369
02:58
that’s your lot.
41
178139
1020
02:59
That’s your lot means that’s all you're
having or you're not having any more.
42
179729
4740
03:05
So, that’s why you should’ve laughed.
43
185370
1829
03:09
That is good.
