5 types of jokes in English!
What’s the difference between a banana and a million dollars? They both have appeal. Don’t get it? You will after checking out this English jokes video. In this lesson, I look at five different TYPES of jokes, including “What’s the difference between X and Y” jokes, “knock-knock” jokes, and three others. These are standard English joke formats that have been used for thousands of jokes. Especially for social situations, it’s great to understand their format and pacing. If you want to share any jokes of your own, please share them in the comments section, and don’t forget to check out my other two joke videos if you haven’t already done so. Thanks for clicking, and (hopefully) for laughing!

Russian tourists.
The couple arrived at the resort. They move into the room.
Wife sees the mouse and starts yelling, “Ah-ah-ah-ah! Mouse! Contact reception, you better know English, and I – full zero.”
Husband calls (in English):
– Hеllo.
– Hеllo.
– Do you know “Tom and Jerry”?
– Yes, I do.

LOL. This is pretty good. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, This is Farnaz from Iran.
I have been studying English for several years, now I am at high intermediate level. I want to speak with someone in order to practice English. English in Iran is learnt as the foreign language, not second language. So I am looking to find a person to speak for 1 hour a day.
Would you please help me and introduce a friend to improve my speaking skill?
Thank you in advance for your kindness!
I am looking forward your email.

hahahaha good jokes Mr Alex!!Thanks for sharing with us ;)
As always, it’s my pleasure. I’m glad you enjoyed the jokes! Some people think they’re a little too cheesy. :) I like these types of jokes, though.
Thanks Alex. The jokes are not funny! hahahah
That’s okay! Everyone has a different sense of humour.
Hi Alex. I liked all of them, but in my opinion, the funniest was number 3: “What do you call a computer that sings?” “- A Dell (Adele).” Thank you. I’ll see you next time. Bye!
Oh, the Adele joke is definitely the best one. I laughed out loud the first time I heard it. Haha. I’m glad you liked it as much as I did!
Hi Mr. Alex. It’s always a pleasure take part to your lessons. Thanks for your clear communication and also for the time you spend responding promptly to our comments. I really appreciate that. So hope to see you again very soon, bye for now.

Your first lesson? Welcome to EngVid! :) Nice job on the quiz, and I hope you enjoy the rest of our video lessons.
I like that one about computers. The others… well… Just kidding. Thanks Alex!
Ha! It’s okay. The Adele joke is easily the best joke of this bunch. I also like the math book joke, though. Maybe because I’m getting older, so I enjoy cheesy humour?
My bad Alex. You’re completely right. The joke of the math book is actually very funny. Thanks for the feedback!
Good jokes,Alex.

hi .. Is there social network to communicate with native English speakers??
I’m not aware of one. I’d recommend joining a message board like reddit.com and finding an area you’re interested in, then communicating with people who have the same interest.
Hi, Alex a great lesson as always, and my joke is “Which is the king between numbers 1 to 9?”
“Let’s review for maximizing the pain”
lol
This is a good joke.

I am told a joke of my own experience. I went to an elderly center to apply for volunteers. After seeing the receptionist, I said that I wanted to “be a volunteer”, but because my pronunciation was not accurate, she heard that I wanted to “be work here”. She said that we do not recruit workers.
An African joke (I’m living in Africa…)
What’s Capetown without the sea?
Apetown…
I appreciated your jokes, really.
