Do Filipinas have a sense of humour?

[Pepe n Pilar]

Forget all my other puzzles. I am now offering a prize of £1m for anyone who can tell me how to get a Filipino wife to understand my English sense of humour.

Reckon that's a pretty safe bet. :D

Brit humour is misunderstood throughout the world.
Irony and sarcasm need a developed understanding of the subject. Makes it tricky.
Ive noticed that Filipinas often find it necessary to TELL people when they're joking (i.e. joke lang). Which just doesnt really work with Brit humour. If its not funny enough for people to KNOW its a joke, its not funny even when youre TOLD its a joke.

Good luck. It ain't gonna be easy - lol.

I think Filipina's have a cracking sense of humour, some of the jokes I've heard were VERY funny!:icon_lol:

I think Filipino's worry they might be offending somebody, this is why they tell you it's a joke I think..:Erm:

It seems to me that Filipinos like the incongruous jokes the best...:Erm:

Like this one:

A man walks into a hotel reception...he is shocked by a notice on the wall and says to the receptionist "That's strange!:Erm: It says 'Be In Bed Before I am'..:Erm:...Why should I be in bed before you are!?":angry:

Receptionist says "Excuse me sir, it says 'Be In Bed Before 1 .a.m.":doh (One a.m.)

:icon_lol:

I'm so fond of jokes I'm starting to note which "type" of joke people like!:icon_lol:

Simple.... deliver you joke with a facial expression such as :Cuckoo: & :cwm3: before you know it she will :laugher::23_116_6[1]:

i watched BORAT for the first time with my wife and she thought it was real and when i told her its all an act she still didnt get it,until he put his poo in a bag and asked the host where do i put it? thats when she realised that its all a joke!

there are many times i would say a mother inlaw joke and she would get pikon at me,there are many times she gets most of what i say.

if i say some darker humour it will be lost on her but you will be surprised how quickly she will pick it up!

That's easy, how about giving your wife the £1m instead, and she will understand and tolerate all your english sense of humor and everything else :D:D:icon_lol::icon_lol:

I used to be so sensitive at my hubby's english sense of humor and it gets on my nerves a couple of times in the past....
And everytime i get "pikon", it comes with a price so to speak, lol.....He has to make it up to me at any cost and in any way possible, lol :icon_lol::icon_lol:

But now i think i'm getting a hand on it and getting so used to it that i even know how to throw the joke back to him lol,
so everytime he jokes, i make sure it backfires on him, lol and i would laugh so hard, this are the times i get him to be pikon, thus tables are turned :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:
But i still get pikon once in a while and still trying to keep up with the british sense of humor, but i feel i've gone a long way from how worst pikon i get in the past, lol :icon_lol::icon_lol:

This is quite surprising. My Filipina girlfriend has got a brilliant sense of humour. She's very very witty and picks up on just about everything humorous/sarcastic/ironical I say. Needless to say she loves double entrendre as well. ;)
She also has her girlfriends in stitches all the time.
I suppose she must be a natural comedian and it easily transfers to English.

I would like to believe that I have a great sense of humor... as much as I would like to believe that I am drop-dead gorgeous!

Walang kokontra... post ko to! LOL (I can't seem to translate this to English.. so sorry)

Pinays have a sense of humour thats difficult to define,mainly its through comedians like Alan k's slapstick style"Sari-saring Amoy ng Lalaking Pinoy" (He is at the Barrio Fiesta next weekend so I hear?)if you ask a pinoy "why did the chicken cross the road?",then tell him "it was to get to the other side" he will laugh :icon_lol:If you ask him "why did the chicken cross the road?",then tell him it was "because it was stuck to the pervert" :Erm:you will have to explain from A-Z :Erm:

[GaryFifer]

Hey they married Brits, they must have a sense of humour!

LOL and i thought the answer to the question "why did the chicken cross the road" is because it wants to get run over :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:
Now if it's stucked to the pervert, then they both get run over at once :xxgrinning--00xx3::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol: pervert gone, lol :icon_lol::icon_lol:

"Be in bed before 1 a.m." (one a.m..time) is being misread by the man as "Be in bed before I am..":icon_lol:
