Hey, everyone. I'm alex. Thanks for clicking and welcome to this lesson on five types of jokes

So specifically we're going to look at five types of English jokes that often play with word meanings

Now if you're learning a language learning jokes in that language is usually like one of the final barriers you have to

Punch through before you can claim to be like a full

mastered speaker

person thing in that language

So today let's see if we can break through that barrier for you and with you so that you can learn

Five different styles of jokes in English now

I'm not saying these are the only types of jokes, okay?

There are tons and tons and tons of joke types in every language

but I'm going to look at five of the more common ones today, so let's not waste any more time and

Ready for it going to start with number one

All right, what's the difference between x and y?

Very common joke type. So for example

What's the difference between mashed potatoes and pea soup?

Potatoes, but you can't pea-soup

Did you like it? I liked it. I think it's really good if you don't know the meaning of this joke

Because you know you're a non-native speaker p is a type of little vegetable beam is that a beam a lentil?

something anyway something you can make soup with and

mashed potatoes

So you can mashed potatoes, but you can't pee the other meaning of p in this situation

number two

Okay

joke type number two is

What does x have in common with y?

So for example. What does a banana have in common with a million dollars?

They both have a peel

Now it's pretty good

Not bad

Okay

Let me explain it for you. So you can like want to hurt me some more so a banana peel

And if something has a peel it means it is attractive like hmm. I want a million dollars
