🤣. That one’s so cute. Thanks Bill. I like the way you go over the words prior to the joke. It’s very helpful.
Once again another fun joke from Dad's on American Sign Language University I am so proud to be associated with you
I love your videos so much. I’m a fight attendant and will be learning them on my flights to kill time 🥰
Love your clear explanations and your dad jokes!
I’ve tried learning ASL (casually) my whole life, but it’s so difficult because I have no one to practice with. These jokes are so amazingly helpful because they’re fully contained chunks of learning that I can teach other people. I even made a video for some of my friends to show them with a separate video for the punchline (Why did the photo go to jail?). The thorough explanation is fantastic learning for the joke context and other possible contexts.
Amazing! I can’t wait to show my daughter tomorrow. We love your videos!
Thanks! Other than Mick Posner here in Connecticut, you are my favorite ASL instructor! 🥰
Thanks Barbara!
Thank you! This help. Vincennes University ASL student

Wow Dr. Bill! I'm just starting ASL thanks to your channel. I've noticed the ASL Dad Jokes use some English to work (like the different versions of 'dressing' here), but are there any dad jokes that are purely ASL (for example, are there signs with multiple meanings)? Or is ASL so clear at conveying concepts visually that these 'misunderstandings' of the language don't occur as often?
Aaya,
Research shows that (depending on the topic) ASL is around 10% fingerspelling of English words -- sometimes much higher. So this concept of "pure ASL" devoid of any trace of English -- is a weird mythical construct that doesn't exist in real life.
It ends up being "purified" ASL that is on an end of a spectrum but is not reflective of the type of signing done by the majority of Deaf just trying to live our lives.
See: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/subject-verb-object-asl-sentence-structure.htm

www.lifeprint.com/asl101/topics/dactylaprothymia.htm
Anyway, yes, ASL is full of multiple meaning signs that need to be tweaked via various methods to allow the viewer to derive or infer specific meanings.
Just today I was chatting with a friend about how thumping the back of the non-dominant hand can mean melon, watermelon, pumpkin, cantaloupe, etc.
(BTW, we joke around and sign CAN'T ESCAPE - to mean "can't elope" and further mean "cantaloupe.")
An example of an ASL joke is the “PLEASE BUT” joke in which a Deaf person writes a note to a train conductor to “please but” (with the double meaning of “raise the crossing gate arms”). The joke is sometimes embellished to “please move your but” which insinuates “please move your butt.”
It is fascinating that the “PLEASE BUT” joke is a very well established Deaf joke that is an ASL joke that plays on the relationship of the English word “but” to ASL sign “BUT” as well as the fact that “BUT” and “train crossing gates rising” look the same.
@@sign-language Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me. I clearly still have a lot to learn. Your response makes a lot of sense! And I'll definitely be thinking of 'but' next time the train passes!
Your dad jokes are funny
I love it!
Legend thank you
another good one. thank you...
Omg! That IS a dad joke! 🤣🤣🤣
Okay, that gave me a chuckle.
I LOL'd to that one. Got a kick out of it :D
A lot of good information here. Thank you Dr. Vicars. (PS: I liked the joke, too).
Excellent!
Nice one,
Lol. Nice
Hi Bill. Your videos started popping up in my feed a couple of days ago. Fun to see you. Nicole & I used to attend the ASL breakfasts in Sacramento ages ago (with the service dog in training). Nicole is married & about to have a baby. I hope you and your family are well. You were such a wonderful influence on her.
I remember Nicole very clearly! Such an awesome student and person! One of my fondest memories ever was visiting your place with my wife and a some of my children and we were able to play with a whole bunch of puppies at the cutest age. So much fun!
@@sign-language …one of the puppies stole your wallet & hid it in the litter box. My favorite part of that day was your skill in communicating, with no spoken words, with my husband who knew no ASL. I’ve never seen anyone else so skilled at that and you do it without overwhelming or frustrating the non-signer. Simply amazing.
Learning ASL is one of the best things we ever did. It causes us to think about things differently… better. I still think in sign a lot (especially when people misuse words). Nicole & I sign occasionally. It’s great across a room or to convey an aside during a lively conversation.
😂

These Dad jokes rely on English but do you know any pure ASL jokes where the signs themselves are puns? Like instead of the English homonym “dressing,” there is an unexpectedly similar sign to something else in the punch line?
Here is an example of an ASL pun in which the signs themselves create the pun without mapping to English:
"Two nurses equal what?"
Answer: A doctor.
That joke is only funny when the handshapes are examined and the viewer of the joke catches on to the fact that the sign for doctor uses a handshape based on the prominent display of four fingers whereas the sign for nurse uses a handshape that uses the prominent display of two fingers.
Another example is:
Half of zero equals what?
A hundred.
That is only funny when the viewer recalls that the handshape used for 100 in ASL is half of a circle. (A full circle is a zero). There is etymology linking the 100 concept to the Roman numeral "C" -- but that isn't the point of the joke. The joke is funny due to the relationship of the handshapes involved.
Eventually I will do a series on such puns and jokes but for now I'm using the material for a workshop that I'm developing that I may present at a conference.
