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 !

[@oileelong8949]

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.

[@anzgabriel]

Understood 17 of 22 at the first stage... And didn't understand 2 after dissection. Congratulations Luke, superb job you do!!

[@Harriette99]

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!

[@tanvirkhanmunna8722]

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

[@nawelwiwis1605]

[@polinadigital]

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

[@enriquegonzalez7390]

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!!!

[@mariapuiulet]

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

[@xiangronghao4076]

[@HabibaKassar-hl9vq]

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

[@hoda1743]

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

[@arwen1396]

Thank you Luke for uploading this interesting topic video! I’ve started changing my english accent recently and i figured it out that you are the best teacher amongst a lot of Brit KZbinrs! Thank you again :)

[@user-easygoingdud]

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.

[@Bigana17777]

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

[@lorenzojaviertorressaavedr3900]

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.

[@gracenguyen7559]

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!!!!!

[@tanitvs]

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:)

[@sunnysudnyan8814]

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

[@olgaafanasyeva6326]

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

[@london911]

[@agnieszkaurbaniak8284]

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

[@hokackiknight9993]

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.

[@elen_usa]

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

[@meizhuchen9653]

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!

[@ceciliacandia6255]

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!

[@a.g.3587]

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

[@samlau745]

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

[@isabelzamoradiaz5803]

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

[@janyamarkevich1652]

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

[@lindaofarim]

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!

[@sabihsherazburney-wk8bh]

Actually I have been to uk for three years so I can understand the most part of ur podcast now I m back in my own native country

[@ranhee93]

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

[@soledadearcoverde3223]

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

[@1917day]

And "resisting a rest" 💕😍!

[@haubanh1939]

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

[@carladellabeneta7610]

[@evelynlopez4136]

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

[@chistaanimation1655]

I love your way of teaching language. thank you.

[@rasulgeraev1097]

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

[@komailbutt7980]

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

[@VisionDaysOfficial]

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.

[@mar_velous_english]

It's so interesting to study humour of different countries. It's true when one says that if you understand jokes, you understand language. Listening the joke about light and speaking, I remmembered a Russian version of this. Three friends met. One asked: What is the fastest thing in the world? The first guy said: - I think, it's light. The second said: - No, I think, it's word: A word spoken is past recalling. The third guy protested: - Hmm, I think, the fastest thing in the world is diarrhea. I had it yesterday and had no time to switch the light on or say a word;) I hope my translation is understandable) have a good day! sorry for mistakes

[@heidrunholtel2077]

Love this episode! I had great fun listening and learned new words like slug.

[@maribea6631]

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

[@grantofat6438]

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.

[@catherinegergeaux5561]

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.

[@michaelwyatt4384]

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.

[@math-with-afshin]

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

[@jenik6210]

Thank you for the podcast ❤❤❤

[@mikikim7840]

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

[@최하루-q3j]

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

[@mariastelaalderete5407]

Very, very FUNNY, though the sense of HUMMOR is ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT on the other side of the World (Argentina)

[@eduardobagdadi8701]

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

[@Laslocurasdemispeque]

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!!!

[@gracetoni2003]

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!

[@ekaterinagarnyk6342]

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))

[@yvonnelam6633]

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

[@MarioRodriguez-pb9ri]

Yes, we are getting it thanks to you.

[@invere2906]

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)

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

[@verah27.preklady93]

I have come across this podcast only today and I'm already becoming addicted I'm afraid...

[@phamngoctien276]

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

[@jezbookervids]

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

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Ah Jez that means a lot to me mate! Thanks for commenting and I hope you’re doing well! Eternal Yoot! Xxxxx

[@AlexOldest]

"shitloads of followers"?... Is it a way to say "great many"? Does it imply some offense?

[@ЛюдмилаК-ю7ю]

Thanks. I appreciate your way of explaning. It's funny.

[@marianadazdyova5089]

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)!

[@beatrizruzo3548]

I liked the hippies joke and their wifes "Mississipi" it's the best. I'm 80 years old and admired you. I disliked the pirates one. Do you understand why?

[@nadezdanikitina7487]

Hi Luke! thank you for your Podcasts. I watched/ listened to maybe 3 or 4 episodes so far and I started to APPRECIATE how great they are. Delicate combination of smart English which is clear and ..."affordable" and interesting topics you throw in. Your stories/talks came pat to replace the nasty news that I was compelled to listen, could not drag myself off it. Now I am listening to your Podcasts and feel better

[@Inquisitiv3Mind]

I could listen to your podcasts my eyes closed ❤

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Yes, you can. Why not listen to the audio version using a podcast app on your phone? No need to close your eyes, and you can do other things while you listen.

[@inessafarhat7115]

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

[@ryanctchin]

enjoyed this a lot, it's very good. thanks so much

[@Joyjoy-hi9sn]

I looove this class, thank you very much 🤗

[@justinhui4031]

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

[@arturouriarte4006]

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!!

[@jayanthipremraj8072]

I understood 21 and all of them were funny 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@alphyjijo5152]

I could understand most of the jokes,but the thing is ,if it situational jokes that will make us laugh in any language .First time I am seeing printed jokes.Thank you

[@afroozm9413]

Thank you for the great teaching.

[@alexeykhoraskin6569]

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.

[@esmaince1461]

It is just brilliant episode!!! Many thanks

[@liliyazhurba6768]

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)

[@АнастасияПогоревич-й5н]

Dear Luke, I love all your joke's episodes. I can't usually catch all of jokes, of course! But I consider it as a great chance to touch to English humour. How patient you are to all this explanations. Well done!

[@قراءات-ه5ك]

Hi, i am learning the lge. thank u for all ur efforts. I am from algeria and i am not finding any of these jokes funny 😅

[@hflow6290]

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.

[@VirArsenov]

but they can stop and do not pay ))

[@mollietai8946]

Can’t take my eyes/ears off LEP!

[@wynhdam2691]

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

[@GianlucaMariaLecchi]

😂 Always fun hearing your puns. I look forward to more of them. The one I prefer is about being Frank which has an english litterature reminiscence with Oscar Wild' s importance of being Earnest/Ernest

[@theavy8888]

Thinks brother. You are very good teacher.

[@terryz2184]

Your perfect accent is what i am looking for

[@sherrybh346]

Hi.it was great .i found it so useful and it made me laughed ,as well. THANK YOU.🎧☘👏

[@AlexOldest]

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.

[@GEMIGEMI-r1u]

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 ! ;-)

[@fresxckiuhnm1785]

Like always, you are fantastic. Please be more active on KZbin with video podcasts.

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

I publish video episodes every week 🙂

[@stzvetelina]

Very usefully for me...

[@CinderellAspergerSapiophile]

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

[@АйдарХабиров-т3к]

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.

[@АдонисСамирханов]

Cool joke, mate!

[@eduardogimenezdepaz4391]

I am listening your jokes it is not an easy to understand , I am Argentinian but ok new the idea Tks

[@loryitalie]

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