Karim Jokes Trivia Quiz

These would fall under "Dad jokes" in any other context. However, my best friend Karim has been making these jokes since we were 17 years old, and we'd call them "Karim Jokes" - now that he's going to be a new dad, this quiz is in his honor.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Why was my toddler refusing to nap?

Answer: He was resisting a rest

The pun here is relating "a rest" as it pertains to a nap to "arrest" which is being detained. "Resisting arrest" is common police parlance for an individual that refuses to go with them quietly, and can actually be an additional charge in many cases.

2. I just paid $100 for a belt that doesn't fit

Answer: What a huge waist

The pun here is relating the homophones "waste" and "waist". Saying that something is a "waste" is implying that resources were given away needlessly. In this case, the belt was a "waste" since it doesn't fit because the person's "waist" (part of the body below the ribs and above the hips) was too big.

3. Why was 2019 afraid of 2020?

Answer: Because they had a fight and 2021

Similar to the infamous "Why was six afraid of seven?" - "Because seven 'ate' nine" joke, this one plays on the homophonic quality of the words "one" and "won". Essentially, 2019 is afraid because 2020 "won" a fight against it.

4. What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

Answer: Nacho Cheese

The pun here is playing on the homophonic trait of "not your cheese" and "Nacho cheese". If's it's "not your cheese", it isn't yours. When saying this joke, make sure to say the "Nacho" with some aggression.

5. Why did the broom decide to go to bed?

Answer: It was very sweepy

This one is genuinely terrible - the homophonic trait here is between "sweepy" and "sleepy" - saying "sweepy" sounds like saying sleepy in a baby voice. Of course, brooms are designed for sweeping.

6. Why are nurses running out of red crayons?

Answer: They always have to draw blood

In this case, the double meaning of the word "draw" is used to create the humor. "Drawing blood" means taking blood from a vein using a needle, a procedure most nurses are quite familiar with. However, if one was to draw blood (illustrate it), they would naturally use red crayons.

7. What's the easiest way to burn 1,000 calories?

Answer: Leave the pizza in the oven

In this terrible joke, the humor is achieved by playing on the double meaning of the word "burn". In the context of calories, burning calories means expending energy. The other context of burn is charring. If a pizza is 1,000 calories, then you can also "burn" 1,000 calories by leaving the pizza in the oven, burning it.

8. How do you cure fear of a speed bump?

Answer: You slowly get over it

In this terrible joke, "getting over something" means two things: the first is recovering from an upsetting situation or overcoming a difficult situation, in this case, fear - the other is the literal meaning or "moving over something". The best way to "get over" the fear of speed bumps is to literally "get over" them. :)

9. I have a joke about a broken pencil

Answer: But it's pointless

Of course, the tip of the pencil when sharpened is pointy and sharp. However, if the pencil is broken, it presumably has no tip, so it's literally "pointless".

10. I have a joke about procrastination

Answer: I'll tell it to you later

It would have been funny to leave this interesting info empty as a form of procrastination, but the editor would likely not allow it :) Procrastination means putting things off for later; in this case, the joke is that the punchline is going to be delayed.
