I love this episode. As a non-native English speaker, I can laugh and learn at the same time. Thank you, Luke, you're helping me to enjoy more English jokes. I love these jokes: ”Bad example“，”Sluggish snail“，“You have my WORD”，"Mirror Factory“，“Being frank”，“The Titanic is syncing”，”Calendar factory“，”Seasoned veteran“，“Sleep naturally“，“Resisting a rest”. Double meaning jokes are very funny to me. I also learned several idioms and vocabularies, love it !
Hi,Luke.I enjoyed your lesson on humor.I'm an Argentine teacher and I do understand how dificultad it's to explain students to get Jokes in a foreign language.you're a great actor and teacher.congrats! Julio.
I love this episode. These jokes are a great help to remember new words. (Never worry about the frogs, many are still alive.) Beside the jokes and vocabulary, I also enjoy learning the cultural differences in respect of humour. Great channel, great video, thank you!
Great episode! :-) I am amused. I understood like 75% of the jokes. I wrote down 5 of them which I found really funny. (completely useless, cows and bells, light faster than sound, camouflage trousers, sleeping) :-D Thank you! You made my day!
Luke, being a non native speaker in Malaysia, I could understand most of the jokes. Your explanation is crystal clear n I learned new vocab. Puns are fun altho challenging to grasp. Thk you for making this podcast so interesting.
Jajaja the jokes themselves didn´t make me laugh so hard as Luke´s comments! Love really easy-going, relaxed and funny, but still smart way you teach us! Thanks for existing)
Thank you Luke. It is funnier when you tell then and seeing your face or hearing your intonation than the joke itself. You always do such a great job teaching english, always funny and enjoyble.
Although I don't laugh, I find these jokes quite useful to remember vocabulary and I love the way you explain meanings of words or phrases. It's easy to understand and remember. Thanks a lot!!!!!
Hi teacher Luke, i find this episode very interesting, I am a teacher of English as foreign language and I have understood just some of them , not easy at all to teach jokes for learners , thanks so much for sharing this with us I really like it and I have learnt much from it , thnx again
Hi Luke, It is a brilliant idea to talk about jokes. Now, I have a lot of associations for remembering new words. I got 5 of 22 jokes at the first stage. After your explanations, everything is clearly. 🐸 My favorite ones are about a snail, Titanic syncing and kleptomaniacs. Million thanks for your work:)
Thank you so much for this podcast. Dissection of jokes is my favorite topic. However, not all frogs died in the process. When Luke was explaining the joke "sleeping comes so naturally to me" and noticed that it would be unnatural to do it with open eyes, it made me laugh))
Thank you, Luuuuke! I like this type of episodes. I got almost all the jokes (20/22) except the one with iceberg and the one about a double entendre. Merci for all the explanations)) They are enjoyable to listen to even after understanding the joke. And I laughed out loud at most of them
The jokes went well. Luke, you are a typical English man. Very understated and this makes it funnier. As a native Kiwi practitioner, of English,I smirked mostly but more than a few good laughs.
I love this episode very much! I did not really understand the points for some of the jokes until you explained the details. It is a really helpful episode, thanks a lot, Luke!
You were born for this buddy. Love your style, your voice is perfect for podcasting and I'm so pleased you've got shitloads of followers. Good on ya mate! YootClub forever! XXX
Excellent I am a Spanish speaker , student of English and I found some funny and I had to wait till the explanation to fully understand the others. Great job!!!
Great episode. The great joke was: - Can i be a frank - Can you be just Luke. I get 4 of 22 jokes in first round. the joke with cows is the best, I think. i remember joke from a mentor: It's better talk nothing and looks like an idiot, then open mouth and confirm it.
Some of the puns are really fun). Every time I climb the ladder at second floor of my house I recall this joke “ I don’t trust ladders, they always up to something “. I also heard it at other podcast of English tutoring. Best way to leverage your English is listening to native speakers and stand ups as they make you comprehend jokes.
Thanks Luke for the explanation, useful for expanding the vocabulary and remembering the words because in context. I understood three or four jokes before the dissection! My favorites are "useless as a bad example" and "brilliant before speaking", I guess because these are not just jokes, but also elegant ways to say "idiot" or "stupid" to someone without using direct words and if it is, that person does not understand. I always find this kind of jokes very funny, maybe because I'm not capable of it, my brain is not so fast, so sometimes I think things like that but too late. Maybe I'm the idiot :-)
Good podcast, enjoyable! I understood majority of the jokes (with exception of the ones using very special vocabulary such as pirate and hot blonde). The best one for me is the three old child resisting a rest! I really love that one (frankly, all your podcasts)!
I liked the hippies joke and their wifes "Mississipi" it's the best. I'm 80 years old and admired you. I disliked the pirates one. Do you understand why?
Hi Luc. I understood more than I thought I would, 17 out of 22. For example, I didn't get the Mike Tyson joke. But after you explained it, I got it and laughed. We'll see what happens next. I think both Titanic jokes are very good.
Thank you so much x this episode, so much fun. Very useful for learning new vocab in a fun way. I laughed at a few of them, smiled at most of them. Did not get at all a few. Such as the one on tyson and at the bar. Thanks a lot again!
"I renamed my iPod The Titanic. When I plug it in, it says The titanic is syncing" is the joke that I like most. It is very funny. When I heard this joke, I was confused between sinking and syncing, but then I realized it's actually hilarious. Thanks for sharing
Enjoyed at lots of it (Although I understood only a pair before they were explained) The one about mirrors I liked most, also because I can't help laughing when looking at my own face. Regards Luke!!
Literally means that the meaning is exactly what the words say: Hanging around means being present. Literally hanging around means hanging from a hook in the ceiling.
Thanks a lot, your explanations are done in a very clear and straightforward manner, so that every single detail is very clear! As for me, I've got almost each joke from the very beginning, but for a couple of some jokes (about a hot blond and a poor bastard and probably one more)
Thank you for your work, Luke! It´s fabulous!!! Some months ago I started listening to your podcasts to refresh my sleeping english for a trip. I really enjoy them. I came back from my trip and I keep listening to them. Some were good jokes. Congrats!!!
Thank you for explaining jokes. As I often don't get the jokes in English. It is such a good way to understand the differences for cultural. Plus, the joke' you have my word',for me, I feel it is a kind of warning as well as promising.
I listened to your explanation three times before I caught the pun: "sink the unsinkable" and "think of the unthinkable." And I was sure that LISP has only one meaning (an abbreviation for one of the programming languages). Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks a lot Luke for this very entertaining episode ! I got 11 out of 22 ! I am keen on the one on "camouflage trousers" ! It's a french word, so it was very easy for me to understand this one. The one with the 3-years old "rest" is a great one too ! ;-)
Hi, Luke! I got a half of the jokes at the first attempt. Favourite one is about sinking Titanik. You know jokes are not as funny as the way you explaine them)) you are the best
Hey! Many jokes made me lough 🤣 I needed explanation for the "double entendre" (unknown words) and Mike Tyson. And I didn't know the direct meaning of a "seasoned veteran", although I got the sense of the joke from the "spicy" point of view. And I didn't know the word stabbed. That was a sad joke. This episode is hilarious!
Dear Luke, I love all your joke's episodes. I can't usually catch all of jokes, of course! But I consider it as a great chance to touch to English humour. How patient you are to all this explanations. Well done!
I really appreciate your efforts thank you so much. By the way, I enjoyed hearing you telling and explaining those jokes, perhaps I prefer mirror and Microsoft jokes
Too high a level for me. Only 11 of 22. 😅 Let's see what you explain about them to be able to get the rest!! Finally, I got them all. You are a great joke dissector. Thank you so much for these fun videos!

I am really keen on podcasts about the jokes. Thanks for that idea, especially now, when only jokes can save us.

When I first listened to you say them, I understand some of them but after you explain them so I cracked.
The best one, I'm a big metal fan.
Great! I guess they are very English...You don't get the explanation in books and that's why I find this video so useful.
Thank you!

Also one other joke I came across recently and like it:
Why did scarecrow win an award?
Because it stand out in its fields 😂
Have you been watching The Last of Us?
@@LukesEnglishPodcast Unfortunately no yet
@@Isusia That scarecrow joke appears on one of the episodes
Very good example: to stand out =
to be out standing (outstanding) /
exceptional/amazing!

Great episode.
The great joke was:

It's better talk nothing and looks like an idiot,
then open mouth and confirm it.
Cool joke, mate!
Thank you for helping poor people who can't buy lessons
You make hope and smile for every one
Iam women from algeria
Best one: Light travels faster than sound…
That’s why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak.

Metal ventilator! 🤣
So useful for learning, so please, upload more material like this.
Thx Luke!

Hi Luc. I understood more than I thought I would, 17 out of 22.
For example, I didn't get the Mike Tyson joke.
But after you explained it, I got it and laughed. We'll see what happens next. I think both Titanic jokes are very good.
Love this episode! I had great fun listening and learned new words like slug.
Hey Luke, good work, i almost understood all of them, and i think they weren´t bad, more than a half of them made me smile.

I have come across this podcast only today and I'm already becoming addicted I'm afraid...
Thank you for your work, Luke! It´s fabulous!!! Some months ago I started listening to your podcasts to refresh my sleeping english for a trip. I really enjoy them. I came back from my trip and I keep listening to them.
Some were good jokes. Congrats!!!
Thanks from Lithuania! Perfect jokes, I really enjoy your content!
Thank you for explaining jokes. As I often don't get the jokes in English. It is such a good way to understand the differences for cultural.
Plus, the joke' you have my word',for me, I feel it is a kind of warning as well as promising.
but they can stop and do not pay ))
You are the best teacher, Luke! 👍My favourite joke is the one of the seasoned veteran 😊
I listened to your explanation three times before I caught the pun: "sink the unsinkable" and "think of the unthinkable." And I was sure that LISP has only one meaning (an abbreviation for one of the programming languages). Thank you for your efforts.
Thanks Luke this session. The frog is still alive!!
The joke about MsOffice was Excellent! 😉
But the best joke was about the light travelling faster than sound.
Thanks. I appreciate your way of explaning. It's funny.
It is just brilliant episode!!!
Many thanks
Thank you for the great teaching.
Thank you for the jokes and nice explanations to them.
NOW I am able to understand how to laugh out loud at English jokes!
Hi.it was great .i found it so useful and it made me laughed ,as well.
THANK YOU.🎧☘👏
But 99% of the explanations are on point, interesting and sometimes even funnier than the joke being dissected. Kudos, man!
I like your TH-cam. Its very useful for listening training.
Thanks a lot Luke for this very entertaining episode ! I got 11 out of 22 ! I am keen on the one on "camouflage trousers" ! It's a french word, so it was very easy for me to understand this one. The one with the 3-years old "rest" is a great one too ! ;-)
Thank you Luke i’m Eduardo from Argentina. useful explanations I got sames and others you explain it to me and make sense
Accidentally i drop into this , i enjoy hearing the lecture. Many thanks to yoy
Thank you for this clip. I have been thinking of asking you to talk about British joke / British humour. Appreciated.
Hi, Luke! I got a half of the jokes at the first attempt. Favourite one is about sinking Titanik. You know jokes are not as funny as the way you explaine them)) you are the best
My favorit one is this about Mike Tyson :How do you think the unthinkable .
Mike Tyson said with an itheberg.
Hey! Many jokes made me lough 🤣 I needed explanation for the "double entendre" (unknown words) and Mike Tyson. And I didn't know the direct meaning of a "seasoned veteran", although I got the sense of the joke from the "spicy" point of view. And I didn't know the word stabbed. That was a sad joke.
This episode is hilarious!
I looove this class, thank you very much 🤗
The funny thing is understanding the double meaning of words.thanx so much
Dear Luke, I love all your joke's episodes. I can't usually catch all of jokes, of course! But I consider it as a great chance to touch to English humour. How patient you are to all this explanations. Well done!
"Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog" - Well that's true for puns, good jokes survive a translation
Thanks for explaining.
I like “ racing snail” most.
I really appreciate your efforts thank you so much. By the way, I enjoyed hearing you telling and explaining those jokes, perhaps I prefer mirror and Microsoft jokes
Too high a level for me. Only 11 of 22. 😅 Let's see what you explain about them to be able to get the rest!! Finally, I got them all. You are a great joke dissector. Thank you so much for these fun videos!
