1.Thank you to all my fans.
感谢我所有些粉。
笑点分析：fan既有“粉”的意思，又有“电扇”的意思。
2.MEN to the left because WOMEN are always right.
男性请往左行，由于女性一直往右行。
笑点分析：right既有“右侧”的意思，又有“正确”的意思。所将来半句话亦可理解为“……由于女性永远是正确的。”
3.Your brain has two parts:
你的大脑有两个部分：
left right.
左脑和右脑
Your left brain has nothing right,
你的左脑里没右脑的东西，
Your right brain has nothing left.
你的右脑里没左脑的东西。
笑点分析：right同上；left作形容词时意为左侧的，作leave的过去分词用时意为剩下的。所将来面两句还可以理解为“你的左脑里没一点正确的东西，你的右脑里什么也不剩。”（我才不会直接说你笨呢）。
4. You thought this post would be funny?
你以为这个帖子会非常搞笑？
I'm a frayed knot.
我是一只磨损的绳结。
笑点分析：I'm a frayed knot.（我是一只磨损的绳结。）和I'm afraid not.(我不这么觉得）两句话听上去一模一样，所以这段话在字音上也可以理解为“你以为这个帖子会非常搞笑？——我不这么觉得。”
5.once a German, a Frenchman and a Japanese went to work on a mine hill. Their boss said to the German: "You will be responsible for physical work". He told the Frenchman: "You will take the duty of planning for mining". Then he turned to the Japanese: "You will be responsible for supplies."
以前有一个德国人，一个法国人，一个日本人一块去一个矿山工作。他们的老板对德国人说，“你来负责体力活。”，又对法国人说，“你负责开采工作的准备。”然后他转向日本人，“你负责提供。”
A few days later, the German and the Frenchman found that the Japanese disappeared. They decided to search for him when the Japanese jumped out all of a sudden and shouted: "Supplies"!
几天后德国人和法国人发现日本人不见了。他们决定把他找到，没想到日本人突然跳出来，喊道“提供！”
笑点分析：日系风格英语中常把卷舌音/r/和边音/l/混淆。所以日本人误以为老板要他负责的是surprise(惊喜）而不是supplies（物资提供）。
