[@Stinkydinkydo]

Would Uganda over here at all these puns!

[@jaredwrightus]

During a date with an African lady, she kept looking at my plate, saying Uganda eat that? No, I said, I'm not fond of Turkey. Especially with as much Greece as this has. She found New Zealand ate it all. Later we danced to Sinatra's "Luck be a lady." Serbia gentleman, she told me. The point Angola this date was to see whether we fit in with a Paraguays and gals.

[@JeremyReporter]

[@PaceFilmsProductions]

Is this the real John David Pollack? The reason I ask is because I am currently making a student documentary about puns and pun-off competitions. Also if you don't mind I'd like to know if it would be okay for me to use this clip in my documentary.

[@BobBoican]

I still have many more jokes togo.

[@randomvideowatcher]

I enjoyed the PUNishment. They told 2/3 of a pun (pu). It was punaceous. There was a fight at Octoberfest. Someone kicked another person in the leg and shattered a Germany. If I take a flight overseas, hopefully Ireland o.k. They asked the refugee how he got in to Iraq.. He said, "Iran" He was between Iraq and a hard place. The guys were pun-gent.

[@dead_yeti]

There is Norway this isn't staged

[@Wilbot3000]

I lent $5 to a guy and he never paid me back. I guess you could say Egypt me.

"In landing a plane you must be careful to come down gently and evenly" I repeated that part maybe 10 times, I can't comprehend how utterly terrible that one was. May be the worst thing I've ever heard. He's trying to say "En glanding"? EN GLANDING" EN FUCKING GLANDING" !!!!!
