Once there was a man with a wooden leg named Smith. His other leg didn't have a name... I LOVE THIS JOKE, KIDS! I didn't even get to talking about the hilarity of dangling modifiers, and you've gone and done a great joke about it. Top points for you! From Mrs Amor's class
I got killed in a game of snakes & ladders. I think it was the die. LOVE what you're trying to do here. It's a clever HOMONYM, and you worked on setting up the joke by finding a link between the two meanings. By Emily x 2
I can't draw a plane. So I'll just wing it. CLEVER! I hadn't thought of that HOMONYM. It works well! By Freya & Scarlet
What is wrong with your nose? Who knows? This made me LAUGH because it is so fun and silly. Great choice of HOMOPHONE. By Mrs Amor's class
Why was the vampire the best in the cricket team? Because he had a lot of bats! SUPER HOMONYM and I love the picture it builds in your head - a vampire playing cricket! So it's funny in more than one way. Really good! |
By Robyn & Tilly
Why did the bird keep tweeting? ... Because 12 million people just liked him. HA HA! You've used a perfect HOMONYM for a social media joke. Well done. By Daisy & Alice
What queue do rabbits wait in? A hare line! This is SO FUNNY! A brilliant HOMOPHONE joke - hair and hare. Well done! By Leo & James
What's an insect's favourite song? ... Let it Bee. FANTASTIC. And what's even better about this, is that Let It Be was written by THE BEATLES! This is HOMOPHONE joke heaven! By Sam & Margot
What did one plank of wood say to the other? I'm board. I REALLY LIKE THIS ONE! Great HOMOPHONE, and unexpected, too, which sometimes makes jokes funnier. Super job! By Mrs Amor's class
Why do I feel so cold eating this meal? ... Because it's chilli! HA HA! This got me laughing. Super HOMOPHONE - chilli and chilly. And I love the fact that chilli is supposed to be spicy and hot, but you've made it cold. Clever. |
By Faye and Lucy
Why did the spaceman go to the top of the mountain? Because he was Tim Peak. GREAT! You've used an excellent HOMONYM. Ha ha! By Daniel & Harry
Did you hear about the flower that got up? It practically rose from the bed. Super HOMONYM joke, and you've obviously checked out some SYNONYMS for rose/flower too. Excellent! By Josh & Ernie
If there was a film about Dylan Briard in a farm, what would it be called? The Maize Runner. HOORAY! Great HOMOPHONE joke, kids. And not at all corny... geddit? By Ollie & ?
What did the small intestine say to the large intestine? You've got a lot of guts. OOOH, FUNNY! And really well put together. You managed to include some anatomy lessons in this as well as a HOMONYM. Really well done! By Mrs Amor's class
Yesterday I fell into a hole full of water. My friend asked ' why did you do that?' I said, 'Well...' I LOVE THIS JOKE! Not just because of the HOMONYM but because it makes you think for a bit... Well... Oh I get it! |
By Mrs Amor's class
Why doesn' t the music teacher like rock? Because it damages your ear drums! OH YES! This is a super HOMOPHONE joke. Try it out on Mrs Houston! Great job. By Mrs Amor's class
What did the bully say to the hair? ... Curl up and dye! PUNTASTIC! This is a brilliant play on words - because not only are you using a HOMOPHONE to mean two things, you're also using a whole saying to mean two things. Well done. By Annabel & Alexandra
What did the buffalo say to his son? ... Bison! BRILLIANT use of a HOMOPHONE. I think, if you'd found a SYNONYM for 'son' in the set-up line - maybe 'child' or 'kid' - and also made it clear he was going away, this would be one of the GREATEST JOKES EVER. Why don't you work on it a bit and tell it again; it's going to be AMAZING! |
