Learn English Pun Jokes | Funny Examples and Meanings | Advanced English Lesson

Hello, everyone. My name is Robin. 

Hello, sa lahat. Robin ang pangalan ko.

And in this video we are  going to talk about ‘puns’. 

At sa video na ito ay pag-uusapan natin ang tungkol sa 'puns'.

Okay. Now puns are very difficult to understand. 

Sige. Ngayon ang mga puns ay napakahirap intindihin.

Very difficult to hear. And very difficult to use. 

Napakahirap pakinggan. At napakahirap gamitin.

So this video is an advanced video  and I don't expect my students to  

Kaya ang video na ito ay isang advanced na video at hindi ko inaasahan na ang aking mga mag-aaral ay

start making their own puns very soon. So this video is more for fun just to understand  

magsisimulang gumawa ng sarili nilang puns sa lalong madaling panahon. Kaya't ang video na ito ay higit na katuwaan upang maunawaan lamang

a little bit of English word play.

ang kaunting paglalaro ng salitang Ingles.

Now, what is a pun?

Ngayon, ano ang isang pun?

Well, a ‘pun’ is kind of a word used in a joke. And the word has two meanings. 

Well, ang 'pun' ay uri ng salitang ginagamit sa isang biro. At ang salita ay may dalawang kahulugan.

Okay. So to help you,  

Sige. Kaya para matulungan ka,

we're just going to jump into an example. And I have a very simple example here. 

lalabas lang kami sa isang halimbawa. At mayroon akong isang napaka-simpleng halimbawa dito.

‘Korea has Soul’

'Korea has Soul'

This is a pun.

This is a pun.

The word that is a pun is soul because  soul has two meanings of course. 

Ang salita na isang pun ay kaluluwa dahil ang kaluluwa ay may dalawang kahulugan siyempre.

Now, when I say Korea has soul, this is s o u l. That soul means, Korea has some  

Ngayon, kapag sinabi kong may kaluluwa ang Korea, ito ay sou l. Ang ibig sabihin ng kaluluwa na iyon, ang Korea ay may ilang

spirit or some energy.

espiritu o ilang enerhiya.

But of course it has another meaning.

Pero syempre may ibang kahulugan.

Because, soul, the spelling is  different but the sound is the same.

Kasi, soul, iba ang spelling pero pareho ang tunog.

Seoul is a city in Korea. So when we say ‘Korea has soul’, it's kind  

Ang Seoul ay isang lungsod sa Korea. Kaya kapag sinabi nating 'Korea has soul', medyo

of a joke because the ‘soul’ has two meanings. Okay. 

biro kasi ang 'soul' ay may dalawang kahulugan. Sige.

Now pun jokes are kind of not really haha funny.

Ngayon ang mga pun joke ay medyo hindi haha ​​nakakatawa.

Usually when someone says a pun joke, everyone is kind of quiet.

Kadalasan kapag may nagsasabi ng pun joke, lahat ay tahimik.

And maybe we hear crickets. 

At baka may naririnig tayong mga kuliglig.

So if I said ‘Korea has soul’,  maybe everyone's oh yeah. 

Kaya kung sinabi kong 'Korea has soul', siguro lahat oh yeah.

Okay. All right. So let's take a look at a couple other  

Sige. Lahat tama. Kaya't tingnan natin ang ilang iba pang

examples of pun jokes to help you understand.

mga halimbawa ng mga pun joke upang matulungan kang maunawaan.

I have two more examples here to help you understand the pun jokes. Okay. 

Mayroon akong dalawa pang halimbawa dito upang matulungan kang maunawaan ang mga pun joke. Sige.

The jokes, they use a pun. Again, they're not really haha funny. 

Ang mga biro, ginagamitan nila ng pun. Again, hindi talaga sila haha ​​nakakatawa.

You just kind of okay.

Medyo okay ka lang.

So the next one here.

Kaya ang susunod dito.

‘My bicycle fell… my bicycle  fell because it's two-tired.’ 

'Nahulog ang bisikleta ko... nahulog ang bisikleta ko dahil dalawang pagod ito.'

‘My bicycle fell because it's two-tired.’ All right. 

'Nahulog ang bisikleta ko dahil dalawang pagod.' Lahat tama.

So the blue word, that's the pun. And again, a pun has two meanings. 

Kaya ang asul na salita, iyon ang pun. At muli, ang isang pun ay may dalawang kahulugan.

So why is this funny? or not so funny?

Kaya bakit ito nakakatawa? o hindi kaya nakakatawa?

Too tired. Alright. So again, two meanings. 

Masyadong pagod. Sige. Kaya muli, dalawang kahulugan.

The first meaning, my bicycle has ‘two tires’. Okay. 

Ang unang kahulugan, ang aking bisikleta ay may 'two gulong'. Sige.

The front tire and the back tire. So has only two tires. 

Ang gulong sa harap at gulong sa likod. Kaya mayroon lamang dalawang gulong.

So it fell. But there's also a second meaning. 

Kaya nahulog ito. Ngunit mayroon ding pangalawang kahulugan.

It's ‘two tired’ sounds like t-o-o, very tired. So a bicycle fell because it's very tired. 

It's 'two tired' sounds like too, pagod na pagod. Kaya may nahulog na bisikleta dahil sa sobrang pagod.

Alright. So ‘two tired’ sounds like ‘too tired’. 

Sige. Kaya 'two tired' sounds like 'sobrang pagod'.

And too tired, very tired. Alright. 

At sobrang pagod, sobrang pagod. Sige.

So that's what makes the pun funny. There's two meanings. 

Kaya iyon ang nagpapatawa sa pun. Mayroong dalawang kahulugan.

The next one - 

Ang sumunod na isa -

‘I used to be a banker but I lost interest.’ ‘I used to be a banker but I lost interest.’

'Dati akong bangkero ngunit nawalan ako ng interes.' 'Dati akong bangkero pero nawalan ako ng interes.'

Okay. This is the pun. 

Sige. Ito ang pun.

This word has two meanings. The first meaning is ‘interest’ - I'm interested. 

Ang salitang ito ay may dalawang kahulugan. Ang unang kahulugan ay 'interes' - Interesado ako.

Okay. So he lost interest. 

Sige. Kaya nawalan siya ng interes.

He's no longer interested in banking. So he's not a banker anymore. 

Hindi na siya interesado sa pagbabangko. Kaya hindi na siya banker.

That's one meaning.

Iyon ang isang kahulugan.

A second meaning is

Ang pangalawang kahulugan ay

‘interest’ is actually a bank term bank.

ang 'interes' ay talagang isang bank term bank.

Bank vocabulary - when you put money in the bank.

Bokabularyo ng bangko - kapag naglagay ka ng pera sa bangko.

Okay. Every year the bank will give you interest. 

Sige. Bawat taon ay bibigyan ka ng bangko ng interes.

For example, six percent or 4 percent. They give you interest every year. 

Halimbawa, anim na porsyento o 4 na porsyento. Binibigyan ka nila ng interes bawat taon.

So he's not a banker anymore  because he lost interest. 

Kaya hindi na siya bangkero dahil nawalan siya ng interes.

Which would mean he lost money. All right. 

Ibig sabihin nawalan siya ng pera. Lahat tama.

So this is funny. ‘I used to be a banker but I lost interest’ 

Kaya ito ay nakakatawa. 'Dati akong bangkero ngunit nawalan ako ng interes'

Because ‘interest’ is a pun. It has two meanings. 

Dahil ang 'interes' ay isang pun. Ito ay may dalawang kahulugan.

First meaning, he's not interested  in the banking business anymore. 

First meaning, hindi na siya interesado sa banking business.

And the second meaning, he lost some money. Okay. 

At ang pangalawang kahulugan, nawalan siya ng pera. Sige.

All right, let's move on to one last one.]

Sige, let's move on to one last one.]

All right, the last joke.

Sige, the last joke.

I'm going to show you actually has two puns.

Ipapakita ko sa iyo na talagang may dalawang puns.

And you can decide if it's funny or not.

At maaari kang magpasya kung ito ay nakakatawa o hindi.

All right, here's the joke.

Sige, eto ang joke.

So there's a question and answer.

Kaya may tanong at sagot.

The question, ‘How do celebrities stay cool?’

Ang tanong, 'Paano nananatiling cool ang mga celebrity?'

‘How do celebrities stay cool?’

'Paano nananatiling cool ang mga celebrity?'

Of course, celebrities are  famous people, stars, talents.

Siyempre, ang mga kilalang tao ay mga sikat na tao, mga bituin, mga talento.

‘How do celebrities stay cool?’ ‘They have many fans.’

'Paano nananatiling cool ang mga celebrity?' 'Marami silang fans.'

Okay that's the joke.

Okay yan ang joke.

And as I said, there's actually two puns.

At gaya nga ng sabi ko, may dalawang puns talaga.

So the question, ‘How do celebrities stay cool?’ Okay. 

Kaya ang tanong, 'Paano nananatiling cool ang mga celebrity?' Sige.

So cool has two meanings. The first meaning is cool, cold. 

So cool ay may dalawang kahulugan. Ang unang kahulugan ay cool, malamig.

Okay. Not hot not warm. So how do they stay cold? 

Sige. Hindi mainit hindi mainit. Kaya paano sila mananatiling malamig?

The second meaning is, cool, you know  wearing sunglasses, they're cool. 

Ang pangalawang kahulugan ay, astig, alam mong naka sunglasses, astig sila.

All right. Very good. Very cool. So the two meanings of cool. 

Lahat tama. Napakahusay. Napaka-cool. Kaya ang dalawang kahulugan ng cool.

They have many fans of course. There's the pun. 

Syempre marami silang fans. Nariyan ang pun.

And the pun has two meanings. The first meaning is fan. 

At ang pun ay may dalawang kahulugan. Ang unang kahulugan ay fan.

When you're hot, you have the machine blowing air. That's the fan. 

Kapag naiinitan ka, mayroon kang makinang nagpapabuga ng hangin. Yan ang fan.

And of course, the other meaning, the second  meaning of fan is, when you're very famous  

And of course, the other meaning, the second meaning of fan is, kapag sikat na sikat ka

and popular people like you, they're your fans. They're screaming.

at sikat na tao tulad mo, fans mo sila. Nagsisigawan sila.

And they want your signature, your autograph. Those are fans. 

At gusto nila ang iyong pirma, ang iyong autograph. Mga fans yan.

Okay. So, ‘How do a celebrities stay cool?’ 

Sige. Kaya, 'Paano nananatiling cool ang isang celebrity?'

‘They have many fans.’ All right. 

'Marami silang fans.' Lahat tama.

So this is funny because we can  recognize there's two meanings here. 

Kaya ito ay nakakatawa dahil maaari nating makilala na mayroong dalawang kahulugan dito.

So you could read this the first way, ‘How do celebrities stay cool (not hot)?’ 

Kaya maaari mong basahin ito sa unang paraan, 'Paano mananatiling cool (hindi mainit) ang mga kilalang tao?'

‘They have many fans,’  machines blowing at them to stay cool. 

'Marami silang mga tagahanga,' hinihipan sila ng mga makina para manatiling cool.

Or ‘How do celebrities stay cool?’ ‘They have many fans,’ people screaming. 

O 'Paano nananatiling cool ang mga celebrity?' 'Marami silang fans,' hiyawan ng mga tao.

All right. Funny?

Lahat tama. Nakakatawa?

Okay, yeah, well, these are pun jokes. Some people like them - very advanced English.

Okay because you have to know, you have to have  a very good vocabulary, you have to know the word  

Okay kasi dapat alam mo, you have to have a very good vocabulary, you have to know the word

and it's two meanings to understand the joke.

and it's two meanings to understand the joke.

All right. That's it. I hope you enjoyed the puns video.

Lahat tama. Ayan yun. Sana ay nagustuhan mo ang puns video.

And I hope you can maybe create your own pun one day.

At umaasa ako na maaari kang lumikha ng iyong sariling punla balang araw.
