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.

The best one: " I'm a big metal fan".

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.

As a Russian person I found joke about rushing people very funny and clever 😂 thank you so much for your work. It’s really useful. Love to listen you before sleeping ❤

Thank you for your immense work, Luke! Not long ago I started listening to your podcasts and I really enjoy them.

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!

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

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!

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

This is so brilliant to listen to! Thank you for making these podcasts and videos, Luke!

for the first stage 14 out of 22 , i found them too funny. I understood the rest through your explaining and most of them were funny, thanks alot

I really like Luke's English podcasts, they help me to learn english better, i wanna participate in his zoom lessons

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!!!!!

Everytime I learned a new joke a funny smile has appeared on my face. Thanks a lot 😄

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)

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

I have been learning and teaching English for years but I found your podcast the best and really worth watching.

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!

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!

Great !! Very precious to take part in everyday conversation with pales. Never found before ! Thank's a lot. Will you post any more ? With short stories too. 😊 Kind Regards.

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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.

Dear Luke, thank you very much! I admire your podcasts and find them very helpful! You do a great job!🎉🎉🎉

My favourite? 'That's why some people apperar bright until you hear them speak '

“I have a split personality “ said Tom being frank. 🎉good joke Great.

Also one other joke I came across recently and like it: Why did scarecrow win an award? Because it stand out in its fields 😂

Oh, I learned a lot from this vid, and have so much fun!! Thank you Luke!!

English is my second language and I’ve been trying to improve it every day. I am so happy that I found your page, I like a lot your videos. Thank you

The episode is very well thought to teach the English aspirants. Appreciate!

This is my favorite once; Sleeping comes so naturally to me. I could it with my eyes closed.

Luke, thank you))) You are sooo charming 🕺 Your videos - the best way of learning English. Have a great day ☀️

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.

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

You always do a wonderful work,explaining very well, in detall everything.Many thanks

Great Mr Luke, Keep it up!

Thanks Luke! I like your podcast very much!!! You are great!

"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

very enjoyable for all the 22 jokes and your explanations. Thank you 😊

very good. I am a Persian but I want to learn English. I enjoying this videos. be successful.

Can’t take my eyes/ears off LEP!

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!

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 :-)

Thank you for helping poor people who can't buy lessons You make hope and smile for every one Iam women from algeria

I have understood all of them. I knew I would, English comes naturally to me: I can understand it with my eyes closed.🤣

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.

Even after your dissecting the SLUGGISH joke is so funny hahaha Thank u so much and really love this episode!

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)!

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!!

Thank you for the podcast ❤❤❤

You are a gifted teacher, as they say in Germany. And in Russia they would say, so you are a teacher of God. 😊

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.

Best one: Light travels faster than sound… That’s why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak.

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.

Thanks Luke this session. The frog is still alive!!

Thank you very much Luke. I love being hearing you even though I understand not much.

Well done !!! Keep it going this way and I’ll be expert in English. With respect, Rasul from Russia.

Very good to see you Sir. U r always been my inspiration.

"Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog" - Well that's true for puns, good jokes survive a translation

All clever. Definitely my kind of humour. Didn't understand the double entendre one. Laughed at the last one. Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you. You are a veteran teacher . I really enjoyed this episode

A three year old resisting a rest!! Brilliant !! 😂

thanks for your videos here and at the same time your podcasts on google podcasts , your fan from Iran , all the bests 👍👍👍

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.

I like your UKposts. Its very useful for listening training.

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!!!

Hi! luke Thank you so much for your english lecture! It's wonderful 😁

But 99% of the explanations are on point, interesting and sometimes even funnier than the joke being dissected. Kudos, man!

The ambiguity in Tyson part was so interesting.

I love your way of teaching language. thank you.

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 ! ;-)

Luke is so funny. I really enjoy listening and watch his videos

NOW I am able to understand how to laugh out loud at English jokes!

You are the best teacher, Luke! 👍My favourite joke is the one of the seasoned veteran 😊

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)

My favorit one is this about Mike Tyson :How do you think the unthinkable . Mike Tyson said with an itheberg.

Hey Luke, when you talked about the sleeping joke, I thought oh my God, sleeping is the only thing that I can do with my eyes closed…

Hay Luke, how are you doing? I just came across your podcast episode 242 and enjoyed it so much. I like listening to all of your episodes (they are fun) and the way you interpreted rock music at the end of that episode. I hope you can add content of music like that often at the end because I like similar bands and music styles of yours. Cheers and Have a great day. It’s Sunday morning in Melbourne btw.

The funny thing is understanding the double meaning of words.thanx so much

Thanks from Lithuania! Perfect jokes, I really enjoy your content!

a natural joke from Londoners life - they are often suprised saying with suprised tone of voice: oh it is raining again. that was bit funny for me, rain is usual stuff in london

New joke I thought you almost gonna say: I can't ever see myself at a mirror factory. Suppose he is a vampire 😂

Thank you for this clip. I have been thinking of asking you to talk about British joke / British humour. Appreciated.

At first, I understood 19 and I found them very funny :D

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!

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

Accidentally i drop into this , i enjoy hearing the lecture. Many thanks to yoy

The joke about MsOffice was Excellent! 😉 But the best joke was about the light travelling faster than sound.

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.

Thank you Luke i’m Eduardo from Argentina. useful explanations I got sames and others you explain it to me and make sense

Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak
