Jokes can be difficult to understand in any language — especially if the language is not your native language. In this lesson I’ll teach you about the parts of a joke, and you’ll learn some new vocabulary and expressions that you wouldn’t normally hear in a classroom… and hopefully you laugh!
Very good!(Im not talking about the joke).
I started learning english listening some songs with this kind of word(Tenacious D).
Dear John, you should make more lessons with some texts ,like that about Clint Eastwood, but showing more pictures… would be FANTASTIC!
OWNA!!!
Hi Jon! Funny joke “….1-2-3 for?” HaHaHa. But, next time, do the joke before the lesson, then the explanation. I think, in that way, we are force to think in the meanings…
Hi Jon:D I didn’t understand your joke from beginning so explanation was very helpful. By the way you suppose to make more similar lessons I’ll think. Thanks a lot for that. =D
Hi Jon! I did the quiz but I was wrong the second question beacause I answered the 3th (“the number ‘4’ and the preposition ‘for'”) instead of the 2nd… could you explain me why? thanks
I’m pretty sure that the answer for question number 2 should be “the number ‘4’ and the preposition ‘for'” and not “the magic powder”.
What do you think?
You’re right, Shay. Thanks for letting us know! The quiz is now fixed.
can you please give us the subtitles of the conversition ??
hello Rashid, To have not subtittles is good for improve the listening. But if you have to read for listening, you can have a look on the moovies whith subtittles in your language. It’s a good and funny way too for listening ! Have a good moment with series (that’s the best way for me) !
Dear Jon, I am an English teacher from NY having 50 years of experience teaching E. First of all, the story with your joke – is it an introduction to the course? If so, I believe you have killed it right away. What intelligent person will go on listening to the rubbish you presented! I have read the comments before posting mine. How low you should go to please an audience of this sort! Before showing up before a class a teacher MUST prepare himself or herself by at least looking up the definitions of the vocabulary he or she intends to introduce. Then a teacher has to respect the audience by carefully choosing the material, but not present a gross joke. You are more than welcome to respond, I will gladly share with you my ideas. You seem like a nice person. J.T.
I agree with you
I want you to tell what’s the best way to learn English
Thanks
Dear Mrs Tsukerman. I things it’s important for students in E.S.L. to learn other than words on books, to learn tne speaking english. I agree with you when you tell a teacher has to respect… but he or she has to learn different sorts of words, and not only the nice words. Don’t you think students would be more interested in learning with more joke and humor ?
hello mr jon i’m a new student if u accept me i liked this vid and the jock too but i’ll woit another one more polite u know and u’r just great and goodlooking ihope that won’t bother ur wife tk u so much jony
Great teacher with a great joke!Your lesson reminded me of something I read somewhere about penis having seizures. Do penis have seizures sir? and, what kind of English expression is that?
Hello it’s joke doesn’t make sense. It ‘s about man who wants
His penis to get down during intercourse . Sexologist says
It’s regular ,everybody does. He doesn’t worry.
Hello Jon,
I love the way you teaching. Its truth when you said in Viet Nam, some woman said they go to pick up flower instead up im goinh to toilet. Its funny way. Im Vietnamese :)
It’s very funny. Thank you for making me laugh, hahaha. More than that, I can know more vocabulary that were new to me before. My vocabulary store is bigger a little bit now. I have a lesson after this story: tell your partner not to say or ask anything when performing, hahaha, that is not to waste the only time of the whole year.
Jon,,I hope u could help me to understand this joke!
I was in Dubai. And there’s a lot of Indians who work in Dubai. And they don’t get paid that well. And I got it in my head that all the Indians there must be workers. And I forgot there’s obviously successful Indians in Dubai as well. I was doing a show, and they said, “We’re going to send a driver to pick you up.” So I went down to the lobby, and I saw this Indian guy. I go, “He’s got to be my driver.” Because he was standing there in like a cheap suit, thin mustache, staring at me. So I went over, “Excuse me, sir, are you my driver?” He goes, “No, sir. I own the hotel.” (Laughter) I go, “I’m sorry. Then why were you staring at me?” He goes, “I thought you were my driver.”
I still don’t get the last point “I thought you were my driver.”
I don’t see anything that is called dirty. I think its time to we have to get uninhibited thought about sex.
By the way, I like this joke although I heard it before ( in my language). :)
Hi Jon,
by the way, why your name is writing Jon instead John. Sorry maybe my question is not so polite.
I am sure your lesson can not be possible without the dirty drawing which you created.
Here is one joke for the women problems at the doctor…
Woman got to the doctor for general examination. Doctor examines eyes, ears, hands, legs and at the end says:
“Now we need to check the small organ that puts women into a lot of trouble.”
Woman starts to undress and doctor says: “What ya doin’ I only want to see your tongue.”
Personally, I think you told the joke in a funny way.It’s a creative joke even if it’s simple.Such expressions are important to be learned, we’re always using them. As long as we’re not offending people, I think it’s ok. You did warn them. Thanks for the lesson!
I’m a bad joke teller myself, but I don’t think you are!. In fact, I would have totally understood the joke even without the explanation mentioned at first.
That was a great lesson! Very funny! It’s interesting to notice that this jokes works only in English! In my language, Portuguese, for example, it wouldn’t work At all
Thanks. It’s really cool to know more about a foreign culture. ;-)
Hint in turn: for russian students you can use the magic word “LOPATA” instead of “punch line”. Be sure, all the russians will natively get it, and they will know exactly when to laugh :-)

OWNA!!!
Hi Jon! Funny joke “….1-2-3 for?” HaHaHa. But, next time, do the joke before the lesson, then the explanation. I think, in that way, we are force to think in the meanings…
that’s correct!
I didn’t understand the Joke. Anyone tell me.
What did you say 1 2 3 for
hahahaha ^_^
Hi Jon:D I didn’t understand your joke from beginning so explanation was very helpful. By the way you suppose to make more similar lessons I’ll think. Thanks a lot for that. =D
Hi Jon, More jokes and more drawings, please! :)
You’ve made my day… It was amazing and very educational at same time :P
Thank you so much!:)
Funny, but not very polite!!
You have the talent to deliver information do not do this nonsense again, / We love you Jon
Extremly unusual way of teaching. But it works. As well as I know even Shakespeare used some dirty jokes.

We ought to cry!
HAHAHAHA. I understood all right! well done!
You are a great teacher in it short time I enjoyed with your classes, I would like receive more information and to be your pupil.
Sincerely.
Jon, Please advise the difference between log in and log on as well.
Sorry, it is for Alex not Jon.
Hi Jon! I did the quiz but I was wrong the second question beacause I answered the 3th (“the number ‘4’ and the preposition ‘for'”) instead of the 2nd… could you explain me why? thanks
Hahahahahahaha… Very good one Jon!
I don’t understand. Why does magic powder is called pun
if u didn’t have the explan after telling the joke, i’d not understanded why u laughing. Nice joke! Hope u have more story like that
ahahahah funny joke…poor man! ;)
awww he`s so cute :D
I’m pretty sure that the answer for question number 2 should be “the number ‘4’ and the preposition ‘for'” and not “the magic powder”.
What do you think?
You’re right, Shay. Thanks for letting us know! The quiz is now fixed.
You performed better than the main role of the joke. (Ha~ha~)
hahaha, actually the punchline wasn’t that funny.
but it was useful thank you Jon :)
Dear Jon,

That was a great lesson! Very funny! It’s interesting to notice that this jokes works only in English! In my language, Portuguese, for example, it wouldn’t work At all
I meant “joke works” and “at all” instead of “At all”.
Thanks. It’s really cool to know more about a foreign culture. ;-)
Hint in turn: for russian students you can use the magic word “LOPATA” instead of “punch line”. Be sure, all the russians will natively get it, and they will know exactly when to laugh :-)
The joke is OK, but the suvtitles are wrong. Just listen…
