Has your girlfriend got a joke or ever said anything funny ever?


Recommended Posts

I assume your girlfriend is Thai and the underlying question is whether there are cultural explanations to this? Usually, the Thais are those who like a laugh and the farangs those who have long faces. But of course, if there are Western cultural references and subtleties, it's unlikely to be understood by a Thai.

8 years and counting not once.  I sent a simple youtube clip to her and felt like I needed to get a chalk board out to explain it.

Yes mine laughs all the time. You picked a serious one. Dump her and move on.

I have 14 years, and there is no problem understanding a joke. I guess you are just bad at telling them. Go practice!

Ah yes ..... she has the Thai 'Mr Bean' sense of humour and I often hear her laughing at Thai Facebook reels.  She also jokes about some of things I do, especially if I'm being too serious.   But in my experience Thai humour is more innocent than Western humour.  

 

We tend to make jokes at other people's expense, and accept hurtful comments just because they are supposed to be funny.

 

When I visit friends and family back in the 'old country' I'm now struck by how cruel our humour can be.

I haven't heard Thais telling funny jokes, but they do have a sense of humor.

 

My gik laughed her ass off when I told her why I chose her. 🤣 

 

She shouldn't ask questions that she doesn’t want the answer to....but she really did find it funny.
