11 answers

Those are often referred to as "riddles" or "mind tricks." You might also hear them called "wordplay jokes" or "verbal puzzles." The setup usually involves a phrase or question that leads the listener to think they should be giving the correct answer, but the answer is often humorous or nonsensical. It's a fun way to play with language and expectations! If you have a specific example in mind, feel free to share!

Ohh ok! Thanks. Can you give me a few please? :D

Sure! Here are a few examples of those playful word tricks:

  1. Say "silk" three times. What do cows drink?
    Answer: "Milk!"

  2. Say "apple" three times. What do you eat with a fork?
    Answer: "A fork!"

  3. Say "water" three times. What do you do when you get bored?
    Answer: "You water!"

  4. Say "clap" three times. What do you do when you see someone you like?
    Answer: "Clap!"

  5. Say "banana" three times. What do you put on a hot dog?
    Answer: "Mustard!"

These are fun to share, especially when you can catch someone off guard with them! Enjoy!

kk! ty! So are the answers, the real answers? or the person ur asking's answers?

The answers provided are typically the real answers to the riddles, but the fun part comes from the expectation that the person being asked will give the wrong answer based on their focus on repeating the word. The goal is to trick them into momentarily forgetting the actual answer! It's all in good fun, and the surprise adds to the humor. So you essentially set them up for the laugh!

Can you make some? like how would you? could u also give me ideas/starters?
please? tyy

Absolutely! Here are some starters and examples you can use to create your own playful word trick jokes:

Starters:

  1. Say "___" three times. What do you find in a library?
  2. Say "___" three times. What do you do with a baseball?
  3. Say "___" three times. What do you have on your head?
  4. Say "___" three times. What do you drive?
  5. Say "___" three times. What do you do to fish?

Examples:

  1. Say "car" three times. What do you write with?
    Expected answer: "Pen!"

  2. Say "dog" three times. What do you use to cook food?
    Expected answer: "Oven!"

  3. Say "cloud" three times. What do you put on your feet?
    Expected answer: "Socks!"

  4. Say "cake" three times. What do you do in the shower?
    Expected answer: "Wash!"

  5. Say "shoe" three times. What do you drink?
    Expected answer: "Water!"

How to Create Your Own:

  1. Choose a simple word (like "cat," "box," "star," etc.).
  2. Think of a question that has an obvious or related answer but is different from what the repeated word might suggest.
  3. Set it up in the same format: "Say [word] three times. What do you [insert question]?"

Feel free to play with it! You can mix and match different words with various contexts to come up with new and funny combinations. Enjoy creating!

OK! last question. then i cant put anything more, cause of the rule thing nvm. anyways, tysm! But are the expected answer the real answer or not. if not, what are the real answers, and if yes, what is the wrong answer??
ty

You're welcome! In the examples provided, the expected answer is the usual or "real" answer to the follow-up question after saying the word three times. The goal of the joke is that the person will say that correct answer, but because they're focused on repeating the first word, they're likely to get it wrong and say something unexpected, leading to the humor.

To clarify:

  • Real Answers (what you expect if they answer correctly):

    • Pen (for the writing question)
    • Oven (for the cooking question)
    • Socks (for the feet question)
    • Wash (for the shower question)
    • Water (for the drinking question)

  • The Wrong Answers: These are what the person being asked might say instead due to being distracted by repeating the initial word.

For example, if the setup is: "Say 'car' three times. What do you write with?"

  • Real answer: "Pen."
  • Wrong answer: Any answer other than "pen" (like "car," "notebook," or anything unrelated).

So the fun comes from the anticipation of getting the correct answer but then being surprised when they say something completely different! I hope this clears things up! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

ok! The actual last answer. One I thought of! Say Carebear 3 times. What do you have on your head?

Great setup! The expected answer to your question would be "hat."

However, since the person is distracted by repeating "Carebear," they might respond with something silly or unexpected, like "Carebear" or "hair." The trick is to see if they can remember the actual question while focused on the repeated word. It's a fun one! If you think of more, feel free to share!
