petesede Posted November 21, 2013 Report Posted November 21, 2013 Una pera y una tomate eren en el fila de bus.El tomate dices ´cuanto tiempo espera´?y la pera dices ´todo mi vida´...jaja, Do you understand what is the joke? Quote
Champollion Posted January 7, 2014 Report Posted January 7, 2014 Haha Petesede! I get it! Ok, my turn...Un gorila entra en un bar y pide una cerveza. La chica del bar esta muy sorprendida, pero le sirve." Cuanto es? " Dice el gorila." Cinco dolares," responde la chica.Algunos minutos más tarde, la chica supera su timidez y pregunta directamente al gorila," Perdone, pero no tenemos muchos gorilas por aqui.""No me extraña," dice el gorila, "Si la cerveza cuesta cinco pavos!!" hehe, well I thought it was funny!

dapapas Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 :laugh: Those are funny. Ok my turn...¿Has oído el caso de ese fugitivo que secuestró un autobús de turistas japoneses? La policía tiene 5.000 fotos suyas. :karate: Quote
jtucci21 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Jajaja! I understand the second two What's the joke on the first one though? Quote
LivetoErr Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 I keep reading these and all they do is remind me how bad I am doing in regard to learning Spanish. Quote
jtucci21 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 It's ok Livetoerr! You'll get it! Practice makes perfect. Honestly, I still don't get most jokes and I've been at it a while. I'm surprised I got the two I did.What parts of the second two don't you understand? Quote
LivetoErr Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Well I don't understand how dollars turns into turkeys ... Unless it's saying we are fools to be splendid 5 dollars on a drink?? Quote
mizore742 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 I kind of get the joke but one or two words confused me because I've yet to learn them. Very funny though, I actually got a good chuckle from it. My dad had to explain the entire joke to me though :shy: Quote
jtucci21 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Oh wow, I thought pavos might have been a local currency when I read it. You've actually taught me something new! Mizore742 - what does it mean? I though he was just saying "yeah, no wonder you see many gorillas. It's too expensive!" Quote
LivetoErr Posted January 18, 2014 Report Posted January 18, 2014 Well I didn't even notice my iPad auto-corrected spending and changed it to splendid. I wonder what I typed for it to change to that.I know one of the translations for the word "pavo" is "turkey" because a lot of "meats" here are made out of turkey. You have to look at what you're buying if you want ham or hotdogs to actually be ham or made from beef. More products are made from the turkey counterpart than the actual meat you are looking for. That was hard to get used to at first. However, looking at SpanishDict, it means a whole lot more! Like a five-peseta coin. *shrug* Quote

This is funny. It's a great commentary on the cost of even a beer in some pubs. The first joke, I didn't really get the punch line. So, I didn't think it was funny. Quote
dapapas Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 This is funny. It's a great commentary on the cost of even a beer in some pubs. The first joke, I didn't really get the punch line. So, I didn't think it was funny. The tomato asks the pear how long a have you been waiting (´cuanto tiempo espera´?)The pear thinks he's saying how long have you been a pear. Es pera and espera. A pear. And waiting. In Spanish they sound the same if you don't say it right. Quote
LivetoErr Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Ok, now I get that one. However, it was lost on me because I'd expect it to be, "una pera" not, "es pera." I couldn't figure out why the pear was waiting its whole life. I do tend to take things literal, while I'm learning; so, it confuses me when someone deviates from what I've learned. I'll get it one day. Quote
Trellum Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Hahahaha, the pear one is very funny! I love jokes that are simple and short, yet funny. Simple jokes are the best because they don't require you to think so much. Here is a joke I found that I think really fits the bill - Mi marido es un bombón.- ¿Es lindo?- No, es redondo y lleno de licor.I hope you guys like it. It's quite simple and easy to understand. Quote
LivetoErr Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Haha I got that one! Of course, that is because it was an easy one. I have an easy one too: ¿Que le dijo un borracho a un recien nacido?Bebe. :wacky: Quote
whistle_tone Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 I love these jokes! Now I can tell my dad some jokes in Spanish instead of him doing so! Quote
wannalurnspanish Posted April 24, 2014 Report Posted April 24, 2014 The tomato asks the pear how long a have you been waiting (´cuanto tiempo espera´?)The pear thinks he's saying how long have you been a pear. Es pera and espera. A pear. And waiting. In Spanish they sound the same if you don't say it right.Ah, I totally wasn't getting it. I could translate it all, and figured there was some wordplay, but it totally just escaped me. LOL Sad. Quote
Linguetronix Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Can you all please explain these jokes as well? I am not getting any, though I understand the words and what they mean. After the first one was explained I loved it and would like to know what the others mean too!Please could someone explain? Quote
btatro Posted May 27, 2014 Report Posted May 27, 2014 I'm a beginner when it comes to Spanish, so I required some outside help with all of these, but jokes are a great way to learn another language! Quote
TimT90 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Posted May 29, 2014 I'm not getting any of the jokes. Mostly because, when it comes to the important part I don't know some of the words lol. I am picking up a couple of new words though, while learning not to take everything so literal ( Like the pear joke). That would've been a really nice one had I not missed the "es pera" part.Please keep the jokes coming. Also if possible could you continue to explain the joke after the fact, so that I can understand anything I may have missed? Quote
Sness Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 This one is my favorite joke of all times:Un ladron entra a un banco y le grita a la gente:¡Arriba las manos o aprieto el gatillo!....*miau* Quote
Cielosur Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 -Oye, pues mi hijo en su nuevo trabajo se siente como pez en el agua.-¿Qué hace?-Nada.**********nada = nothing and alsonada = to swim Quote
