5 Fun and Easy Jokes in Chinese to Impress Your Friends<\/b><\/p>\n

1. The Hidden Costs of Marriage<\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll ease you in with the simplest one out of the bunch, a joke with a punchline that\u2019s understandable and funny in both Chinese and English.<\/p>\n

\u4e00\u4e2a\u5c0f\u5b69\u513f<\/b>\u95ee\u4ed6\u7684\u7238\u7238\uff1a<\/b>\u201c<\/b>\u7238\u7238\uff0c<\/b>\u7ed3\u5a5a<\/b> <\/b>\u9700\u8981<\/b> <\/b>\u82b1<\/b> <\/b>\u591a\u5c11<\/b>\u94b1\uff1f<\/b>\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

(y\u012b g\u00e8 xi\u01ceo h\u00e1i \u00e9r w\u00e8n t\u0101 de b\u00e0 ba: \u201cb\u00e0 ba, ji\u00e9 h\u016bn x\u016b y\u00e0o hu\u0101 du\u014d sh\u01ceo qi\u00e1n?\u201d)<\/i><\/p>\n

A little kid asked his father: \u201cDad, how much does it cost to get married?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u7238\u7238<\/b>\u8bf4\uff1a<\/b>\u201c<\/b>\u513f\u5b50\uff0c\u6211<\/b> <\/b>\u4e0d\u77e5\u9053\u3002<\/b> <\/b>\u6211<\/b> <\/b>\u8fd8\u5728\u4ed8\u6b3e<\/b>!<\/b>\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

(b\u00e0 ba shu\u014d: \u201c\u00e9r zi, w\u01d2 b\u00f9 zh\u012b d\u00e0o. W\u01d2 h\u00e1i z\u00e0i f\u00f9 ku\u01cen!\u201d)<\/i><\/p>\n

The father said: \u201cSon, I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m still paying!\u201d<\/p>\n

2. The Mistaken Identities of Spider-Man<\/b><\/p>\n

This is another joke you\u2019ll find floating around the web. There are actually three Spider-Man jokes, all of which make use of Chinese homophones, or words with the same pronunciation but different meanings.<\/p>\n

Mistaken Spider-Man Identity #1<\/b><\/p>\n

\u95ee\uff1a\u8c01\u6700\u77e5\u9053\u732a<\/b>\uff1f<\/b><\/p>\n

(W\u00e8n: sh\u00e9i zu\u00ec zh\u012b d\u00e0o zh\u016b?)<\/i><\/p>\n

Question: Who knows pigs very well?<\/p>\n

\u7b54\uff1a\u8718\u86db\u4eba<\/b>!<\/b><\/p>\n

(d\u00e1: zh\u012b zh\u016b r\u00e9n!)<\/i><\/p>\n

Answer: Spider-Man!<\/p>\n

\u77e5\u8c6c\u4eba<\/b>!<\/b><\/p>\n

(D\u00e1: zh\u012b zh\u016b r\u00e9n!)<\/i><\/p>\n

Answer: Spider-Man!<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t know Spider-Man in Chinese, you\u2019re more likely to think of the characters \u201c\u77e5\u8c6c\u4eba\u201d instead of \u201c\u8718\u86db\u4eba\u201d\u00a0<\/b>when someone utters,\u00a0\u201czh\u012b zh\u016b r\u00e9n,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0translated as \u201cI know, the pig-man.\u201d So the joke is pretty much referring to Spider-Man as a pig-man.<\/p>\n

Mistaken Spider-Man Identity #2<\/b><\/p>\n

\u95ee\uff1a\u8c01\u662f\u6700\u574f\u7684\u8d85\u7ea7\u82f1\u96c4<\/b>\uff1f<\/b><\/p>\n

(W\u00e8n: sh\u00e9i sh\u00ec zu\u00ec hu\u00e0i de ch\u0101o j\u00ed y\u012bng xi\u00f3ng?)<\/i><\/p>\n

Question: Who is the worst superhero?<\/p>\n

\u7b54\uff1a\u5931\u6557\u7684\u4eba<\/b>!<\/b><\/p>\n

(D\u00e1: sh\u012b b\u00e0i de r\u00e9n!)<\/i><\/p>\n

Answer: A loser!<\/p>\n

What does\u00a0\u201cshi bai de\u201d<\/i>\u00a0sound like in English? Here, the joke utilizes the Chinese transliteration of \u201cSpider\u201d + Chinese translation of \u201cMan,\u201d which is\u201cshi bai de\u201d<\/i>\u00a0+ \u4eba(r\u00e9n). When you apply different tones,\u00a0\u201cshi bai de\u201d<\/i>\u00a0+ \u4eba takes on different meanings. And in this case, the reason why Spider-Man is the worst superhero is because the homophone means \u201closer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mistaken Spider-Man Identity #3<\/b><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see what happens when we apply another set of tones to \u201cshi bai de.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u95ee\uff1a\u8718\u86db\u4eba\u662f\u4ec0\u4e48\u989c<\/b>\u8272<\/b><\/p>\n

(w\u00e8n: zh\u012b zh\u016b r\u00e9n sh\u00ec sh\u00e9n me y\u00e1n s\u00e8?)<\/i><\/p>\n

Question: What color is Spider-Man?<\/p>\n

\u7b54\uff1a\u662f\u767d\u7684\u4eba<\/b>!<\/b><\/p>\n

(d\u00e1: sh\u00ec b\u00e1i de r\u00e9n!)<\/i><\/p>\n

Answer: He\u2019s white!<\/p>\n

Assuming that the listeners know the homophone, the answer to this one is easier to guess than the second joke, since the clue really gives away the correct pronunciation of\u00a0\u201cshi bai de\u201d<\/i>\u00a0+ \u4eba, meaning \u201cwhite man\u201d in this circumstance. Funny how different these Spider-Man jokes can be when you mix up the tones.<\/p>\n

Try telling these three jokes in this exact sequence so that listeners can get it right by the time they hear the third one. Obviously, the jokes don\u2019t make a lot of sense when translated into English, but they\u2019re definitely witty in Chinese. It\u2019s this level of playfulness that indicates your interest in and knowledge about the language.<\/p>\n

3. The Perks of Being Married<\/b><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another one for you that requires no additional explanation or contextual information:<\/p>\n

\u4e00<\/b>\u5bf9\u592b\u59bb\u51fa\u53bb\u5403\u996d\u3002\u59bb\u5b50\u7a81\u7136\u5927\u53eb\uff1a<\/b>\u201c<\/b>\u554a\uff01\u6211\u5fd8\u4e86\u5173\u74e6\u65af\uff0c\u53ef\u80fd\u4f1a<\/b>\u53d1\u751f\u706b\u707e\uff01<\/b>\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

(y\u012b du\u00ec f\u016b q\u012b ch\u016b q\u00f9 ch\u012b f\u00e0n. q\u012b zi t\u00fa r\u00e1n d\u00e0 ji\u00e0o: \u201ca! w\u01d2 w\u00e0ng le gu\u0101n w\u01ce s\u012b, k\u011b n\u00e9ng hu\u00ec f\u0101 sh\u0113ng hu\u01d2 z\u0101i!\u201d)<\/i><\/p>\n

A married couple went out for dinner. Suddenly, the wife shouted: \u201cOh! I forgot to turn off the gas. There could be a fire!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u4e08\u592b\u5374\u5b89\u6170\u5979<\/b>\u8bf4\uff1a<\/b>\u201c<\/b>\u6ca1\u5173\u7cfb<\/b>, <\/b>\u53cd\u6b63\u6211\u4e5f\u5fd8\u4e86\u5173\u6d17\u624b\u6aaf\u7684\u6c34\u3002<\/b>\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

(zh\u00e0ng f\u016b qu\u00e8 \u0101n w\u00e8i t\u0101 shu\u014d: \u201cm\u00e9i gu\u0101n x\u00ec. f\u01cen zh\u00e8ng w\u01d2 y\u011b w\u00e0ng le gu\u0101n x\u01d0 sh\u01d2u t\u00e1i de shu\u01d0.\u201d)<\/i><\/p>\n

To comfort her, the husband said: \u201cIt\u2019s okay. Anyway, I also forgot to turn off the water faucet.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. The Class Orangutan\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Just as we saw with the Spider-Man jokes,\u00a0different Chinese characters can share the same pronunciation<\/a>. These homophones provide numerous opportunities for jokes and puns. One example would be \u201cx\u012bng x\u012bng,\u201d the pinyin spelling of both \u661f\u661f and \u7329\u7329, translated as \u201cstar\u201d and \u201corangutan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u5feb\u8003<\/b>\u8bd5\u4e86\uff0c\u8001\u5e08\u5728\u8bfe\u5802\u4e0a\u5e2e\u540c\u5b66\u4eec\u505a\u91cd\u70b9\u63d0\u793a\u3002\u8001\u5e08\u8bf4\uff1a<\/b>\u201c<\/b>\u8fd9\u4e00\u9898\u5f88\u91cd\u8981\uff0c\u5728\u524d\u9762\u753b\u661f\u661f\u3002<\/b>\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

(ku\u00e0i k\u01ceo sh\u00ec le, l\u01ceo sh\u012b z\u00e0i k\u00e8 t\u00e1ng sh\u00e0ng b\u0101ng t\u00f3ng xu\u00e9 men zu\u00f2 zh\u00f2ng di\u01cen t\u00ed sh\u00ec. l\u01ceo sh\u012b shu\u014d: \u201czh\u00e8 y\u012b t\u00ed h\u011bn zh\u00f2ng y\u00e0o, z\u00e0i qi\u00e1n mi\u00e0n hu\u00e0 x\u012bng x\u012bng.)<\/i><\/p>\n

Before the test, the teacher was helping the students by focusing on the key topics of the lesson. The teacher said, \u201cThis topic is very important. Mark this section with a star.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u5c0f\u5fd7\u56de\u7b54<\/b>\u8bf4\uff1a<\/b>\u201c<\/b>\u8001<\/b>\u5e08<\/b>\u2026<\/b>\u53ef\u4e0d\u53ef\u4ee5\u7528\u6253\u52fe\u7684\u554a\uff0c\u7329\u7329\u597d<\/b>\u96be\u753b\u54e6<\/b>\u2026\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

(xi\u01ceo zh\u00ec hu\u00ed d\u00e1 shu\u014d: \u201cl\u01ceo sh\u012b\u2026 k\u011b b\u00f9 k\u011b y\u01d0 y\u00f2ng d\u01ce g\u014du de a, x\u012bng x\u012bng h\u01ceo n\u00e1n hu\u00e0 \u00f3\u2026.\u201d)<\/i><\/p>\n

Xiao Zhi replied, \u201cTeacher, may I use a check mark? An orangutan is too hard to draw.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. How Well Do You Know Your Steak?<\/b><\/p>\n

Another component of Mandarin is that\u00a0certain characters can have multiple meanings<\/a>\u00a0depending on the context, another unique feature for Chinese jokes. In this example, the word \u719f\u00a0(sh\u00fa)<\/i>\u00a0means both \u201cfamiliar\u201d and \u201ccooked well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u95ee\uff1a\u4e00\u4e2a\u4e03\u5206\u719f\u7684\u725b\u6392\u548c\u4e00\u4e2a\u4e94\u5206\u719f\u7684\u725b\u6392\u76f8\u9047\u4e86\u3002\u53ef\u5b83\u4eec\u5374\u6ca1\u6709\u6253\u62db\u547c\uff0c\u4e3a\u4ec0\u4e48<\/b>\uff1f<\/b><\/p>\n

(w\u00e8n: y\u012b g\u00e8 q\u012b f\u0113n sh\u00fa de ni\u00fa p\u00e1i h\u00e9 y\u012b g\u00e8 w\u01d4 f\u0113n sh\u00fa de ni\u00fa p\u00e1i xi\u0101ng y\u00f9 le. k\u011b t\u0101 men qu\u00e8 m\u00e9i y\u01d2u d\u01ce zh\u0101o h\u016b, w\u00e8i sh\u00e9n me?)<\/i><\/p>\n

Question: A seven-minute (medium-well) steak and a (medium) five-minute steak meet on the street, but they didn\u2019t say hello to each other. Why?<\/p>\n

\u7b54\uff1a\u56e0<\/b> <\/b>\u4e3a<\/b> <\/b>\u90fd<\/b> <\/b>\u4e0d<\/b> <\/b>\u719f\uff01<\/b><\/p>\n

(d\u00e1: y\u012bn w\u00e8i d\u014du b\u00f9 sh\u00fa!)<\/i><\/p>\n

Answer: Because they both aren\u2019t familiar with each other!<\/p>\n

Similar to a couple of the jokes mentioned earlier, this one loses its meaning when translated in English.<\/p>\n

The world’s funniest joke (now available in Chinese \ud83d\ude42<\/h3>\n

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn’t seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps: “My friend is dead! What can I do?” \u00a0The operator says: “Calm down, I can help. First, let’s make sure he’s dead.” \u00a0There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: “OK, now what?”<\/i><\/p>\n
