Not to be confused: Poultry Prince or Princely Poultry. ("Poultry" also has a meaning of "Stupid Jerk" in Hungarian.)
Daily jokes and cartoons 67/80
What type of a job does the scarecrow have? - indemnification. (This is "Kártalanítás" in Hungarian, and "KÁR" is an onomatopoeia for the sound crows make ("Caw" in English), while "talanítás" is a suffix for getting rid of something. So the word means indemnification, but also getting rid of "Caws".

Which is the most popular social network? That's a secret (titok)! "Titok" means "Secret" in Hungarian, and sounds similar to "Tiktok".

- Father, help! The cow has hiccups. - Give her a bucket of water, then. - No, I mean she's collapsing.... "Összecsuklik" in Hungarian means to "collapse", but it has the word "csuklik" in it, which is "having the hiccups".

Daily jokes and cartoons 55/80
Two figures emerge from the forest. One is running, the other is bearing. This one is extra nonesense in English.... The joke is based on conjugation. "FutVA" is a version of "running" in Hungarian, referring to how someone is moving. With the "va" at the end, it means someone is emerging from the forest while running. Meanwhile, "bear" is "medve" in Hungarian, with a similar sounding conjugation at the end: "ve". However, this one is a simple coincidence, so the joke plays on the other figure emerging while being a bear.

Daily jokes and cartoons 52/80
This is a funny combination of two proverbs: "A vase goes to the well until it breaks." meaning one will continue to do something until something bad happens, and "Pea spilled on a wall" meaning is something you try to say or do but it doesn't interest anyone. Since "pea" is "borsó" and "vase" is "korsó", the similarity is the humorous link between the two.

This one is too far gone to explain... basically, it's "What do you call catfish with a burr/rhotacism?" "Catfish" is "Harcsa" and people speaking with burr tend to pronounce "L" instead of "R". So "Harcsa" becomes "Halcsa", and "Hal" is "Fish" in Hungarian. But there's no R in catfish, so this one is a wash...

(When someone seems to have something wrong with them, but it's nothing, we call that "kutyabaja" in Hungarian ("dog's problem"). So the joke is: "- Is Petey okay? - Sure, look! He only has dog's problem!" (the joke being that Petey is full of fleas, which is a real dog's problem.)

Trojan diner / befaló ("Fa" is "wood", ló" is "horse" in Hungarian. Next to each other they form "faló", which can also mean" eatery" or "diner" So "Trojan diner" also sounds like "Trojan wooden horse").
Daily jokes and cartoons 45/80
This joke plays on the word "halálom", which means "my death". "Halálom" is by chance made up of the words "hal" - "fish" and "álom" which is "dream". So "Fishdream" is the same as "My death". The joke is: "Which animal is it scary to dream of? A fish. Why? It's about my death / fishdream."
