Does anyone get this joke?

Question

Okay so maybe I'm just blonde, but I heard this joke today and I really don't get it... [no offense blondes, I was speaking figuratively]...

Soo.. A monkey and an elephant are taking a bath. The elephant turns to the monkey and asks "Hey could you pass the soap" & the monkey says "What do I look like?? A radio?"

I'm guessing its just me being sloow....

I still find it funny :)

Answer 1

Answer 3

Answer 4

Ironically funny because it doesn't make any obvious sense. Maybe it's and inside joke and no one is inside.

They don't make any sense to me either!

I've just found it on wiki- apparently it's a variant of a joke from the 1940's and it's not supposed to make any sense. Basically two people are in on the joke and laugh as if it's really funny just to confuse anyone they tell it to or who overhears it!

Hope I helped! :)

Answer 10

not sure if this is correct, but in the "old days" soap operas were played on the radio before tv made the debut.

Answer 11

You aren't supposed to get it. That's the point.

The version I heard was with two penguins in the shower and when one asked for the soap the other was like what do I look like? A waffle iron?

Answer 12

sry i dont get it and im still thinking about it so if i figure it out ill sure tell you

Answer 13

I'm guessing that either you heard the joke wrong or who ever told it to you is the 'blonde' because that joke blows.
