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.

[@polinadigital]

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

[@tanvirkhanmunna8722]

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

[@nawelwiwis1605]

Hi teacher Luke, i find this episode very interesting, I am a teacher of English as foreign language and I have understood just some of them , not easy at all to teach jokes for learners , thanks so much for sharing this with us I really like it and I have learnt much from it , thnx again

[@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!

[@mamaie917]

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

[@julioabbadie9828]

[@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 :)

[@anzgabriel]

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

[@melikeerologlu4179]

Everytime I learned a new joke a funny smile has appeared on my face. Thanks a lot 😄

[@schiponchik]

As a Russian person I found joke about rushing people very funny and clever 😂 thank you so much for your work. It’s really useful. Love to listen you before sleeping ❤

[@nigoraxonxayitboyeva3976]

[@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

[@olgaafanasyeva6326]

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

[@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!!!!!

[@hoda1743]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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:)

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@agnieszkaurbaniak8284]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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)

[@london911]

Thank you for helping poor people who can't buy lessons You make hope and smile for every one Iam women from algeria

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

[@sunnysudnyan8814]

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

[@ranhee93]

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

[@maribea6631]

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

[@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. 😊

[@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))

[@haubanh1939]

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

[@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!

[@evelynlopez4136]

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

[@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 👍👍👍

[@최하루-q3j]

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

[@heidrunholtel2077]

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

[@chistaanimation1655]

I love your way of teaching language. thank you.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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?

[@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!!!

[@soledadearcoverde3223]

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

[@1917day]

And "resisting a rest" 💕😍!

[@carladellabeneta7610]

I am not to used listening British accent and I could understand you clearly. ❤

[@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!!

[@eduardobagdadi8701]

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

[@komailbutt7980]

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

[@justinhui4031]

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

[@CinderellAspergerSapiophile]

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

[@mariastelaalderete5407]

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

[@mikikim7840]

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

[@sherrybh346]

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

[@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 ! ;-)

[@ryanctchin]

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

[@yvonnelam6633]

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

[@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

[@fresxckiuhnm1785]

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

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

I publish video episodes every week 🙂

[@MarioRodriguez-pb9ri]

Yes, we are getting it thanks to you.

[@afroozm9413]

Thank you for the great teaching.

[@jenik6210]

Thank you for the podcast ❤❤❤

[@ЛюдмилаК-ю7ю]

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

[@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.

[@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

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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)

[@jelenaarchipova2280]

Thanks from Lithuania! Perfect jokes, I really enjoy your content!

[@phamngoctien276]

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

[@wynhdam2691]

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

[@inessafarhat7115]

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

[@Joyjoy-hi9sn]

I looove this class, thank you very much 🤗

[@fernandosiage5819]

Metal ventilator! 🤣 So useful for learning, so please, upload more material like this. Thx Luke!

[@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!

[@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.

[@verah27.preklady93]

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

[@theavy8888]

Thinks brother. You are very good teacher.

[@兵善]

Hay Luke, how are you doing? I just came across your podcast episode 242 and enjoyed it so much. I like listening to all of your episodes (they are fun) and the way you interpreted rock music at the end of that episode. I hope you can add content of music like that often at the end because I like similar bands and music styles of yours. Cheers and Have a great day. It’s Sunday morning in Melbourne btw.

[@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!

[@mollietai8946]

Can’t take my eyes/ears off LEP!

[@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

[@triopscancriformis3055]

Hey! Many jokes made me lough 🤣 I needed explanation for the "double entendre" (unknown words) and Mike Tyson. And I didn't know the direct meaning of a "seasoned veteran", although I got the sense of the joke from the "spicy" point of view. And I didn't know the word stabbed. That was a sad joke. This episode is hilarious!

[@pgdnpgdn23]

Nice jokes, great talk. Feel rushing to tell some to my russian buds. Thank you for all the explanation though how you do it.

[@jayanthipremraj8072]

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

[@stzvetelina]

Very usefully for me...

[@faridaakhdache5850]

I really appreciate your efforts thank you so much. By the way, I enjoyed hearing you telling and explaining those jokes, perhaps I prefer mirror and Microsoft jokes

[@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 ))
