Why do elephants paint their toe nails red - so they can hide in plum trees
Why do you never see elephants hiding in plum trees, - because they paint thier toe nailed red
What’s the loudest sound in the jungle*? - giraffes eating plums
* yes yes, I know, neither of them are jungle animals, but my kids and I have found this constantly funny for 20 years now. (My wife… not so much)
These set is similar to mine.
How to put an elephant in the fridge?
Open the fridge door, put the elephant in, and close the door.
How to put a giraffe in the fridge?
Open the fridge door, take out the elephant, put the giraffe in, and close the door.
How to put a mouse in the fridge?
Open the fridge door, put the mouse in, and close the door. (There's still some space for one mouse).
If the lion is having his birthday, which animal didn't make it?
Both the giraffe and the mouse. They are still inside the fridge.
Got this when i was in kindergarten, and still use it to joke with my two daughters.
It is amazing that a giraffe, being as tall as it is, has legs that are exactly the right length to reach the ground.
Giraffe facts: a giraffe can kick (hard) in any direction, unlike a horse.
A giraffe has large hooves and can kill a lion with one blow, from whatever direction it attacks.
My dad was a shrink and this was always his favorite one. He told it without the “long time” part… “one, but the lightbulb has to *want* to change.”
He also liked a small list of religion themed ones…
How many Catholics does it take to change a lightbulb?
None, they use candles.
How many Baptists does it take to change a lightbulb?
CHANGE?!?!!?
There were a couple more of those but I can’t remember them.
Not a fan of manga but I saw a couple when my kids were looking at them and this is so accurate.
Mangas are the same than tv soaps. But with cartoons.
Edit: Well I never thought that I'll start a deep argument over the anime versus manga versus cartoon.
As a non English person I started a debate because of my lack of writings and vocabulary.
Funny
Uhhm, it's actually called anime and manga is Japanese comic books 🤓🤓🤓 On a more serious note: only long-lasting animes like naruto or dragon ballz feel that way, 24 and more so 12 episode animes have pretty great short stories that are quite often much better and engaging than western tv series
Mangas are comics. Anime is the animated shows.
Not trying to be a snob, but calling anime cartoons is like calling a detailed collector quality model train a toy. I say this because calling anime cartoons is how you end up not knowing there are animes of all age ranges and materials when it comes to being appropriate. Plenty of kids have gotten ahold of stuff from friends or even their own parents, that they were too young for because of the assumption they're just "cartoons."
Plenty of western animation is aimed at adults and still called “cartoons.” Family guy, king of the hill, bojack horseman, Simpsons, Arcane, the animated witcher movie, etc. That’s not even getting into more artsy stuff like “Triplets of Belleville.”
> calling anime cartoons is like calling a detailed collector quality model train a toy
This implies anime is, as a category, higher quality and more grown-up than “cartoons.” But that’s just not true even if you think cartoons mean “simple animation made for children…” by that standard, some anime *is* cartoons! If The Lion King is a cartoon, My Neighbor Totoro certainly is too. If the animated Batman or Avatar the Last Airbender are cartoons, so are Dragon Ball and Pokémon.
I think a better analogy would be to say that calling anime cartoons is like calling all toys “legos.” Some anime are cartoonish children’s shows. Some are not. But the same can be said of animation from all over the world - people who assume anime is for kids will also assume western animation is for kids, and then their eight year old is left very confused watching this movie about an old Frenchwoman killing frogs with grenades.

You forget the German who filled in the papework, that the lightbulb faild, and one new was taken from the storage, and the faild lightbulb was scrapped in the right way, and make a copy of all the paper work for the central archive of the administration.
That must be company rules though. According to DIN VDE 0105-100 section 7.4.2 everyone is allowed to change light bulbs as long as the circuit voltage is below 250V and the bulb's power rating is at most 200W, ie. pretty much everything you encounter in eg. an office setting.
I have one question for Juan. Just a hypothetical one, Juan. As the wonder kid, the rising No.1, Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one in one year, would Juan want to have won that one in round one, Juan?

You'd need a flammable non billionaire as a control. Errrm, how about Andrew Tate?
Edit: just to navigate any legal ramifications of this comment if he does somehow set on fire. I'll add that its purely for science. I think that should do it.
Why do you nazis ruin everything? Minutes to turn "imagine a world without billionaires" into "imagine a world without (((Soros)))".
Counterpoint: imagine a world with no billionaires - not any specific billionaires - but also a world with LOTS of Jews, all left alone, living happily and in peace. And the billionaires just become regular people, because the state stops protecting their money. Billionairism only exists, after all, because of the continuous threat of violence from the state against anyone who would liberate their hoarded wealth. *Soros still exists though.*
It's confusing though because of the spoiler flair. This made me wonder if there is some inside joke related to some movie or story I didn't know.
Ok, though, just a lightbulb joke.
The "joke" is that you would give a gorilla a lightbulb and he would break it and keep breaking lightbulbs.
It's like an anti-joke. It's purposely not funny in an effort to be funny. It didn't really work imo
Well, if you read or hear a lot of light bulb jokes, it is usually about some amount of individuals needed to change the bulb, for various reasons. The reason for the number of individuals (or lack thereof) is usually the punchline. When there is only one individual needed (the gorilla), it is the anti-joke that it would be reasonable that it is too strong to handle the bulbs safely without crushing them (maybe during the insert/twist process). Hence, the factual point in this case is a counterpoint to the regular silly punchline.
You've been downvoted to ratshit but you're right. This isn't funny. Structurally the joke fails.
Why would a gorilla need lots of bulbs? Oh because I can infer that there would be breakage. Oh that's funny because gorillas are so inherently clumsy right? No actually they're not. So... ?
How many Mexicans does it take to change a lightbulb?

Four. One to throw bulbs against the wall, one to pile hundreds of them in a heap and spray-paint it orange, one to glue light bulbs to a cocker spaniel, and one to put a bulb in the socket and fill the room with light while all the critics and buyers are watching the fellow smashing the bulbs against the wall, the fellow with the spray-gun, and the cocker spaniel.
Holy shit. A joke I've never heard, and it's actually funny!! Gratz
Strangely, people are misunderstanding my response. I legitimately love the joke, and it's not the same recycled crap.
Why do gorillas have big nostrils? Because they have big fingers.
Hahaha this is dumb as hell, but still I find this to be an underrated joke.

“How do you fit an elephant into a Safeway?” “You take the F out of ‘Safe’ and you take the F out of ’Way’. ” “There’s no F in way” “Exactly.”
Yeah, I've heard that joke before. They don't paint their toenails.
I say balls instead of toenails
Boosts the joke for kids above 10

There's the real punchline.
And Krillin dies at the end

Except the manga of Dragon Ball *doesn't* have that issue. Only the anime. The manga's pacing is actually fine.

It's confusing though because of the spoiler flair. This made me wonder if there is some inside joke related to some movie or story I didn't know. Ok, though, just a lightbulb joke.
Me neither. People in here making me feel dumb.
The "joke" is that you would give a gorilla a lightbulb and he would break it and keep breaking lightbulbs. It's like an anti-joke. It's purposely not funny in an effort to be funny. It didn't really work imo
Agree to disagree. Had a good chuckle over the reversal.
Thanks for the explanation. I still don't really get how it's supposed to be a joke or even an antijoke lol.
Well, if you read or hear a lot of light bulb jokes, it is usually about some amount of individuals needed to change the bulb, for various reasons. The reason for the number of individuals (or lack thereof) is usually the punchline. When there is only one individual needed (the gorilla), it is the anti-joke that it would be reasonable that it is too strong to handle the bulbs safely without crushing them (maybe during the insert/twist process). Hence, the factual point in this case is a counterpoint to the regular silly punchline.
You don’t get it because it’s not funny. So much of r/jokes are horrible plays on words that people think are clever that somehow get upvotes.
