on improving your English with dad jokes.

"Dad jokes?" you ask. "What are dad jokes?"

in an effort to make them laugh, when in reality,

they usually just make them roll their eyes or groan. Err.

way to improve your English, because they often play with word meanings and word sounds.

So, especially if you are an intermediate level English learner, dad jokes can be a

great way to enter the world of English jokes.

So, let's look at some examples now, and we'll

Because coffin is where, you know, Dracula sleeps, and, like, it rhymes

with "coughing", [coughs], so Dracula's wife couldn't fall asleep because of his coughing.

It's pretty good? No? Okay. I bet your friend Caitlin would have laughed.

Hey, Caitlin, I got a good one. What kind of music do mummies listen to?

Get it? Because rap is a type of music, and mummies are wrapped in bandages.

I bet your friend Roberta would have laughed.

Come on, baby. Come on. Come on. Ugh. A commercial.

Get it? Because, like, a banana is a food, and like, ba-na-na-na,

that's, like, the beginning to Beethoven's 5th Symphony.

Because, like, a shrimp and a crab and a lobster

are, like, shellfish, and "shellfish" kind of rhymes with "selfish", which means you

"Coffin" sounds like "coughing". Pretty funny.

Next: "What kind of music do mummies listen to? Wrap music!"

So, again, rap is a type of music, but to wrap... Mummies are wrapped in bandages.

Next: "What was Beethoven's favourite food? Ba-na-na-na!"

Which is, you know, the beginning of his most famous symphony.

Number four: "Why didn't the shrimp share his treasure? Because he was a little shellfish!"

So, a shrimp, a crab, lobster, these are all shellfish. "Shellfish" sounds like "selfish",

and "selfish" means you don't like to share.
