Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the Weekly Dad Jokes Explained episode. Each week,
we examine a set of dad jokes and explain what
makes them so funny. Our aim is to arm you
with information on delivering your own dad jokes to your
friends and family so you can further spread the laughs
and groans. Let's get to it.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Why did the cows keep returning to the field of marijuana?
It was the pot calling the cattle back.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
This joke is a play on words using the phrase
the pot calling the kettle black. In this case, instead
of a kettle, it's cows in a field of marijuana.
The phrase means that someone is accusing another person of
something they are also guilty of, so by saying the
pot calling the cattle back, it's implying that not only
are the cows enjoying eating marijuana, but also that they're
(00:58):
being called back to do so again and again. It's
silly and unexpected because we don't usually associate cows with
drugs or pawns with farming terms, making it an amusing
dad joke for those who appreciate wordplay humor. What do
you call a woman with one leg?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Aileen?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
This joke is a play on words using the name Eileen,
which sounds like Aileen. The punchline takes advantage of this
similarity by suggesting that a woman with one leg would
naturally lean to one side. It's a classic example of
wordplay humor and relies on the listener making the connection
between the name and its homophone. While some might find
it insensitive or offensive, others appreciate it simplicity and cleverness
(01:45):
as an example of dad jokes. At their finest.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Last month, my wife bought a Sylvester Stallone pillow and
put it in the middle of the bad Since then,
things have been rocky between us.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
This joke is a pun that plays on the name
of famous actor and boxer Sylvester Stallone, who starred in
the movie Rocky. The phrase things have been rocky between
us usually means that there has been some tension or
difficulty in a relationship. In this case, it's funny because
the pillow with Stallone's face on it is causing problems
between the speaker and his wife. It's an unexpected twist
(02:26):
on a common phrase that relies on wordplay for its humor.
Fans of dad jokes will appreciate how simply at clever
this joke is while others may groan at its cheesy nature.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
I'm so excited about the amateur autopsy club I just
joined Tuesday is open Mike Knight.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
This joke is a play on words using the phrase
open Mike Knight, which refers to a performance event where
anyone can sign up to perform. In this case, instead
of music or comedy, it's referring to an amateur autopsy
club where members practice dissecting bodies for educational purposes. The
pun comes from the similarity between Mike and Mike, making
(03:11):
it sound like members are presenting their autopsies at an
open mic night. It's funny because it takes something serious
and macabre and turns it into a lighthearted joke through
wordplay humor. Fans of dad jokes will appreciate its cleverness,
while others may find it morbid or distasteful.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
A police officer just knocked on my door and told
me that my dogs are chasing people on bikes. That's
ridiculous because my dogs don't even own bikes.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
This joke is funny because it takes a common complaint
about dogs chasing people on bikes and turns it into
a humorous situation by suggesting that the dogs themselves are
not capable of owning bikes. It's an unexpected twist on
the usual scenario, which relies on wordplay to create humor.
The joke also plays with our assumptions about what is
possible or likely, making us laugh at the absurdity of
(04:05):
imagining dogs riding bicycles. Fans of dad jokes will appreciate
its simplicity and cleverness, while others may find it silly
or corny.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
My wife told me that none of my be jokes
are funny. I told her that really stung.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
This joke is a play on words, using the homophone
stung and funny. The speaker's wife has told him that
his be jokes are not humorous, which sets up the punchline.
When he responds by saying that her comment's stung, he
is making a double entendre. On one hand, it could
mean that her criticism hurt his feelings or ego, but
on the other hand, it can also refer to being
(04:47):
physically stung by bees, something which would be very painful.
By using this pun in response to his wife's feedback
about his jokes being unfunny, he turns the tables and
shows off some clever wordplay humor instead. Fans of dad
jokes will appreciate how simply yet effective this joke is
at eliciting groans and laughter alike.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I never understood why a set of false teeth is
called dentures. They really missed an opportunity to call it substitutes.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
This joke is a play on words, using the term dentures,
which refers to a set of false teeth. The speaker
suggests that this term misses an opportunity for wordplay by
not calling them substitutes instead by replacing the word denture
with a made up, puny alternative. It highlights how similar
sounding words can be used in unexpected ways for comedic effect.
(05:40):
Fans of dad jokes will appreciate its cleverness and may
even start using the new term themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Hugh Jackman stopped a serial arsonist from burning down another
local flower shop, proving once again that only Hugh can
prevent florist fires.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
This joke is a play on words using the well
known phrase only you can prevent forest fires, which was
popularized by the Smokey Bear advertising campaign. In this case,
instead of preventing forest fires, Hugh Jackman is stopping a
serial arsonist from burning down flower shops by replacing forest
with florist. It creates a pun that relies on wordplay
(06:23):
for its humor. The joke also plays with our expectations
about who can prevent fires and uses an unexpected celebrity
reference to add to its silliness. Fans of dad jokes
will appreciate how simply at clever this joke is at
eliciting groans and laughter alike.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Apparently, someone in London gets stabbed every fifty two seconds,
poor guy.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
This joke is a play on words, using the phrase
poor guy in a sarcastic way. The speaker starts by
stating that someone in London gets stabbed every fifty two seconds,
which is obviously not something to be taken lightly. However,
instead of expressing concern or sympathy for the victims, they
use the phrase poor guy as if referring to just
one person who keeps getting stabbed over and over again.
(07:14):
It's funny because it's an unexpected response that goes against
our usual reactions when hearing about violence or crime. Fans
of dad jokes will appreciate its dark humor and clever wordplay.
While others may find it insensitive or inappropriate. Well that's
it from this episode of dad Jokes explained. Hope these
will give you inspiration in delivering your own dad jokes.
