Hi, It's Rob here from Woodward English.
Today we're going to look at the difference between fun and funny.
If something is funny, it makes you laugh.
Like ha ha, that was so funny!
A comedian is funny because he or she makes you laugh.
Where do cows go on dates?
The mooooovies.
Ha Ha Ha Thank you, thank you, thank you.
If something is fun, it means you enjoy yourself and you have a good time doing that activity.
Going to an amusement park is...
FUN because you enjoy yourself on the roller coaster and you have a good time there.
Are the following situations fun or funny?
Playing games is...
FUN. You have a good time.
Clowns are...
FUNNY.
They make you laugh, unless you're scared of them of course.
A pillow fight with your friend is...
FUN. You have a good time.
Visiting new places is...
FUN.
A friend tells you a great joke. The joke is....
FUNNY because it makes you laugh, or at least smile.
Throwing snowballs is...
FUN. It's lots of fun.
Going to a dentist is not...
FUN. Nope.
Doing a long boring exam is not ...
FUN
Nobody laughed because his joke was not...
FUNNY. No, it was terrible.
When a friend trips up on the street it is not...
FUNNY. Well, it's not supposed to be funny.
You'll probably laugh anyway though.
Sometimes FUNNY means strange or difficult to explain.
For example:
That's funny I thought I had my keys with me.
I have a funny feeling that something bad is going to happen.
FUN is normally an adjective, you know a description, but it can also be a noun.
FUN as a noun
can mean enjoyment or pleasure.
I had lots of fun at the party last night.
Woohoo, it was great!
I hope you have fun at the beach tomorrow.
Now it's time for some funny jokes. Yes, well I think they're funny anyway.
What do you call a fly with no wings?
A "walk"
What do you call a dog with no legs?
Anything you want because it won't come when you call it.
And one more terrible joke.
What did one cannibal say to the other cannibal while they were eating a clown?
Hmmmm, this tastes funny!
