  • I have several dad jokes about unemployment, but unfortunately, none of them work!
  • @Gmiricius
    I like this one: 15+15 is thirty. And, 16+16 is thirty too.
  • @davidclimbs
    Me: grows up speaking English and is fully fluent, also me: clicks on this video just to make sure
  • @dootdoodle569
    I’ve literally spoken nothing but English my entire life, I’m only here for the jokes lol. I love how she’s so happy to be telling us all of these dad jokes too πŸ˜‚
  • always knew that understanding of jokes in non-native language is a sign of progress
  • @youre_dad740
    As someone who only speaks english, I can confirm that I am now fluent in English, and can understand it all!
  • @Cederuiter
    The more you drink, The WC. I saw that on a toilet door when I was 13 years old. I am now 68. I live in The Netherlands, born and raised there. I love your channel!
  • @michal_king478
    randomly clicked here and I have to say, I cant exactly pinpoint what it is, but theres something so nice about your voice. Its so pleasant on the ears.

    My first "dad joke" I've heard long time ago: - Waiter! What is this? - guy in restaurant pointing at bowl on the table. - It's bean soup, sir. - I don't care what it's been, I've asked what is it now! πŸ˜ƒ
  • @oscargill423
    It's just occurred to me that the final boss of learning languages is understanding jokes and I love that.
  • @user-hs8vu1iz8q
    I cannot thank you enough for the lessons, Lucy. They really help a lot. BTW, I've heard another version for the first joke: "There is nothing left in your right brain and nothing right in your left brain." πŸ˜‚
  • love the way you find these jokes exquisite. it seems like a cultural thing, to find them funny without the need of being obscene or offensive. It's like humor for polite and educated people. regards from ARG.
  • @Dianus89
    I guess I am( Polish, went to the UK only once, for a week πŸ˜›) fluent then πŸ˜… my favorite dad joke is about a boy, who comes back from school and tells his dad "Dad, dad, there was a kidnapping at school!" Dad looks at him terrified but son continues "it's all right now, he woke up".
  • @hw2050
    I couldn't believe it when they told me my husband had been stealing from his job as a road worker. But when I got home, all the signs were there! 🀣🀣
  • @computer1up
    I always enjoy hearing jokes about mayflies. Those never get old!
  • @HighWarlordJC
    A very wholesome video for a very wholesome channel. Props.
  • @RubbaNoze
    I don't know why YouTube recommended your video to me, as I consider myself fluent in english - but today I learned the phrase "to be given the sack", never heard that one before. So thank you! There's always more to learn as a non-native speaker. You have a lovely way of teaching :)
  • I'm French, and I understood all of them except for the postman one. I had never heard the expression "to be given the sack" before. I learnt something new today! Thank you Lucy for another great video and for teaching so well!
  • Thanks Lucy, this is one of the things I love the most in British English, this sort of sense of humor, I consider it quite sofisticated.
