There is a word for this in Indonesian language: jayus.

(Maybe, it is used in Filipino and Malaysian language also.)

It is a joke that is so bad, it’s funny. It is often mentioned as untranslatable. I wonder if there is any English equivalent though. (and yes, English does not have to have a word for everything but there is always a chance or we can find a close match at least.)


Lame joke is mentioned in some of the sources but it does not quite fit. Here is an explanation:

Some argue that “lame joke” would do just fine, but not all lame jokes can make one laugh. A joke becomes a jayus when those who heard it laughed, not at the joke but at the person’s failed attempt to deliver a punch line.

I think what you are looking for is anti-joke, from Wikipedia:

Anti-humor is a type of indirect humor that involves the joke-teller delivering something
which is deliberately not funny, or lacking in intrinsic meaning. The practice relies on
the expectation on the part of the audience of something humorous, and when this does not
happen, the irony itself is of comedic value. Anti-humor is also the basis of various
types of pranks and hoaxes

So bad, it’s good is often used in reference to movies like this, but can also apply to comedians or any other entertainment, and presumably a joke.

Example usage:

Troll 2 is one of those so-bad-it’s-good movies.

_

I just watched Troll 2 it was so bad it was good.

Within the context of telling a joke you could say something like:

Alvin is terrible joke teller, the way he told the joke was so bad it was good.

or simply

That joke was so bad, it was good.

A phrase that’s often used would be a dad joke.

(nb: You don’t need to be a dad to make one, as my S.O. likes to remind me with my jokes…)

Any joke that’s so abysmal such that it makes people groan could fall under this. Essentially, think of any joke your dad would make.

Dad, I’m hungry!
Hi Hungry, I’m dad!

Also, jokes with a buildup you just know it’s going to suck, but you can’t help but laugh because of it. And so on.

As requested in the comments, I am providing groaner as an answer.

Occasionally, a person will tell a joke, and when he gets to the punchline, the listeners realize that they have been suckered. It ends with an anti-climax, a horrible pun, or some other unexpectedly un-funny result.

The reaction is then a cross between a laugh and a groan. On the one hand, you have disgust over the joke, yet an acknowledgement that it does have a certain bit of wit behind it. You also simultaneously have the sense of shame-on-you toward the joke-teller for taking you in, while also giving credit for having done so, a sort of «Aha, you got me.» kind of moment.

I think that train wreck (in American English) or car crash (in British English) is the best phrase to use for this. It suggests that something’s so bad that it’s entertaining.

Something very close to this is the shaggy dog story. An extremely brief synopsis of the archetypal shaggy dog story is as follows (quoted here).

A boy owned a dog that was uncommonly shaggy. Many people remarked upon its considerable shagginess. When the boy learned that there are contests for shaggy dogs, he entered his dog. The dog won first prize for shagginess in both the local and the regional competitions. The boy entered the dog in ever-larger contests, until finally he entered it in the world championship for shaggy dogs. When the judges had inspected all of the competing dogs, they remarked about the boy’s dog: «He’s not that shaggy.»

The specific events in the story might change every time you tell the story; it’s more like a template for improvisation than a set narrative. Properly told, this story could last five, ten, or even fifteen minutes. You can imagine the anticlimax at the end. The teller, leading up to it, might begin to feign repressed giggles, cover his or her mouth for a moment, and generally behave as if the coming punchline is the funniest thing imaginable.

This doesn’t seem to be a perfect translation, since the kinds of jokes you’re talking about might not be that long; a shaggy dog story is almost always long. Still, the concept seems quite similar to me.

I would say the closest term I’ve heard used is simply a «bad joke», but said in a manner that implied it was funny nonetheless. So not so much a word as an implication in speech.

I’ve also heard them referred to as «dry», although that’s not correct and I believe was said in error.

English Synonyms and AntonymsRate these synonyms:5.0 / 1 vote

  1. funny

    Odd is unmated, as an odd shoe, and so uneven, as an odd number. Singular is alone of its kind; as, the singular number. What is singular is odd, but what is odd may not be singular; as, a drawerful of odd gloves. A strange thing is something hitherto unknown in fact or in cause. A singular coincidence is one the happening of which is unusual; a strange coincidence is one the cause of which is hard to explain. That which is peculiar belongs especially to a person as his own; as, Israel was called Jehovah’s «peculiar people,» i. e., especially chosen and cherished by him; in its ordinary use there is the implication that the thing peculiar to one is not common to the majority nor quite approved by them, though it may be shared by many; as, the Shakers are peculiar. Eccentric is off or aside from the center, and so off or aside from the ordinary and what is considered the normal course; as, genius is commonly eccentric. Eccentric is a higher and more respectful word than odd or queer. Erratic signifies wandering, a stronger and more censorious term than eccentric. Queer is transverse or oblique, aside from the common in a way that is comical or perhaps slightly ridiculous. Quaint denotes that which is pleasingly odd and fanciful, often with something of the antique; as, the quaint architecture of medieval towns. That which is funny is calculated to provoke laughter; that which is droll is more quietly amusing. That which is grotesque in the material sense is irregular or misshapen in form or outline or ill-proportioned so as to be somewhat ridiculous; the French bizarre is practically equivalent to grotesque.

How to use funny in a sentence?

  1. The Pope:

    We see that people do not want to have children, or just one and no more. And many, many couples do not have children because they do not want to, or they have just one — but they have two dogs, two cats… Yes, dogs and cats take the place of children, yes, it’s funny, I understand, but it is the reality. And this denial of fatherhood or motherhood diminishes us, it takes away our humanity. And in this way civilization becomes aged and without humanity, because it loses the richness of fatherhood and motherhood. And our homeland suffers, as it does not have children.

  2. Joseph L. Mankiewicz:

    Funny business, a woman’s career the things you drop on the way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you’ll need them again when you get back to being a woman. It’s one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not being a woman. Sooner or later, we’ve got to work at it, no matter how many other careers we’ve had or wanted.

  3. Michael Che:

    The funny thing is there is a President Donald Trump exhaustion in the country and I feel like from the show even, you know, but it’s hard to leave President Donald Trump out of the conversation.

  4. Bethanie Mattek-Sands:

    It was funny, because I was actually googling some players like when John McEnroe played, Arthur Ashe, they had color everywhere. They had color on their sleeves, big stripes, they were coming out in colored jackets. So I feel it’s actually gotten stricter.

  5. Charlie Montoyo:

    We have a chance when he takes the mound, it’s funny because he wasn’t really sharp today, but he did the job.

About

Funny. Yes, But Not Funny Haha, Funny Weird refers to a viral original sound on TikTok using a line of dialogue from The Backyardigans. The sound was uploaded to the platform in late May 2022 and went viral in June, used in lip dub skits about weird experiences. The audio clip comes from the 2005 episode «Castaways», which inspired another meme on TikTok in April 2021.

Origin

On September 19th, 2005, The Backyardigans episode 11 aired. At one point, Uniqua, Pablo and Tyrone find a coconut tree and try to climb it. Austin throws a coconut to them from off-screen. Confused, they all ask each other who got the coconut but none of them know. Austin rolls two more coconuts at them and Tyone says, «Funny.» Pablo says, «Yes, but not funny haha, funny weird» (shown below).

On May 29th, 2022, TikToker[1] @szasgrandchildren posted a meme using the clip, captioned, «when he says she’s like a sister to me,» gaining over 94,000 views in two weeks (shown below). The same day she uploaded a cropped version of the video as an original sound to TikTok[2] without the caption, gaining over 1.1 million views in the same span of time.

В этой статье мы рассмотрим основные синонимы к слову funny, выучим много полезных выражений, поговорим о самых популярных словарях синонимов и дадим несколько советов о том, как лучше запоминать синонимы.

Знание синонимов (слов близких по значению) – один из важнейших показателей того, что вы владеете языком на высоком уровне. Синонимы позволяют нам звучать индивидуально, по-новому, делают нашу речь более яркой и выразительной. Рассмотрим это «языковое чудо»:

The view from our hotel room was good. – Вид из окна нашего номера в отеле был хороший.

The view from our hotel room was marvellous. – Вид из окна нашего номера в отеле был потрясающий.

Синоним к слову good сделал свое дело, и предложение зазвучало совсем по-другому.

Синонимы к слову funny

Для начала познакомимся с синонимами к слову funny. Все они похожи по значению, но у каждого слова есть своя «изюминка», свой смысловой оттенок.

  1. Hilarious /hɪˈleəriəs/ – очень смешной, уморительный.

    This film is the best comedy ever! It’s so hilarious! – Этот фильм – лучшая комедия всех времен! Он такой смешной!

  2. Amusing /əˈmjuːzɪŋ/ – смешной (но не такой смешной, как hilarious), забавный.

    Julia’s child is amusing. He makes everyone smile. – Ребенок Джулии забавный. Он заставляет всех улыбаться.

  3. Comical /ˈkɒmɪk(ə)l/ – комичный, смешной (так как является глупым или странным).

    I hope you won’t go out wearing this comical dress! – Надеюсь, ты не пойдешь гулять в этом смешном платье!

  4. Humorous /ˈhjuːmərəs/ – юмористический, обычно используется для описания историй, рассказов и т. д.

    He makes a good living writing humorous stories for different newspapers. – Он хорошо зарабатывает тем, что пишет юмористические истории для разных газет.

  5. Witty /ˈwɪti/ – смешной, остроумный (используется для описания людей, их высказываний и комментариев).

    His witty remarks made everyone giggle. – Его остроумные замечания заставили всех хихикать.

  6. Jokey /ˈdʒəʊki/ – смешной, шутливый.

    Mr. Brown welcomed us in a jokey way. – Мистер Браун шутливо поприветствовал нас.

  7. Priceless /ˈpraɪsləs/ – основное значение слова – «бесценный», однако оно также означает «очень смешной», «очень забавный».

    Their support was priceless. – Их поддержка была бесценной.

    She is incredibly priceless! – Она невероятно смешная!

  8. Wry /raɪ/ – ироничный, остроумный, смешной.

    This wry story made my day. – Эта остроумная история сделала мой день (порадовала меня).

  9. Droll /drəʊl/ – чудной, причудливый, забавный.

    The cat could understand many commands and everyone found it droll. – Кот понимал много команд, и все находили это забавным.

    A droll-looking woman appeared on the stage. – Женщина с причудливой внешностью появилась на сцене.

  10. Whimsical /ˈwɪmzɪk(ə)l/ – чудной, смешной, эксцентричный.

    This old jacket looks a bit whimsical, but still very elegant. – Этот старый пиджак выглядит чудно, но все же элегантно.

  11. Laughable /ˈlɑːfəb(ə)l/ – смехотворный, глупый.

    His graduation speech was laughable. – Его речь на выпускном была смехотворной.

  12. LOL (laughing out loud) – используется в переписке (реже – в устной речи) чтобы показать, что нам что-то кажется смешным.

Полезные советы: как учить синонимы

  1. Синонимы лучше запомнятся, если вы организуете их в word maps (словесные карты).

    word map – словесные карта

  2. Чтобы начать использовать синонимы, запретите себе произносить «основные» слова. Всегда старайтесь заменить их.

    The girl is beautiful gorgeous. – Девушка великолепна.
    I had a good an excellent day. – У меня был замечательный день.
    The weather is bad dreadful. – Погода ужасная.
    The story was funny hilarious. – История была очень смешная.

  3. Вам понадобится собеседник. Например, им может стать ваш учитель английского языка.

    До начала урока вам необходимо написать на карточках или листочках синонимы, которые вы хотите запомнить. Например, возьмем слово good. У вас должно получиться что-то вроде этого:

    word maps – словесные карты

    Во время разговора с учителем на уроке вам нужно постепенно задействовать все синонимы, написанные на карточках. Как только вы использовали 1 карточку, переверните ее. К концу урока все карточки должны быть перевернутыми.

    Например, учитель задает вам первый вопрос на уроке:

    How was your day? (Как прошел Ваш день?)

    Вместо привычного good, вы используете слово с карточки.

    My day was excellent! (У меня был замечательный день!)

    Это упражнение отлично помогает «вытянуть» слова из пассивного словаря (знаем слово, но не используем его) в активный (знаем и активно используем).

    • Более подробно об этом можно почитать в нашей статье «Как активировать пассивный словарный запас английского языка».

Составить такие мини-словарики синонимов (word maps или карточки) вам помогут следующие словари синонимов:

  • synonym.com

    Сайт очень удобен в использовании, так как синонимы подаются группами, а не сплошным списком. Например, у слова good есть много значений, и синонимы будут написаны к разным его значениям. Тут же даются и антонимы (слова с противоположным значением).

  • thesaurus.com

    Сайт с отличными фильтрами, который дает очень много синонимов. Например, можно выбрать синонимы разговорного стиля, длинные или короткие слова, можно также отобрать слова по сложности. Есть списки антонимов и информация о происхождении слов, интересные факты.

  • collinsdictionary.com

    Словарь имеет отличный раздел Thesaurus, где к каждому синониму есть пример его использования в предложении. Имеются фразы, идиомы, цитаты.

  • synonymy.com

    Синонимы представлены в виде пронумерованного списка к конкретным значениям слова. Например, синонимы к слову bad, если мы говорим о здоровье, такие: ill, weak, diseased.

Осторожно! При таком большом количестве слов глаза начинают разбегаться. Не паникуем! Совсем не обязательно знать много синонимов к слову. Возьмите на вооружение несколько и практикуйте их в речи.

Помните, если слова являются синонимами, это не значит, что они могут использоваться в одном и том же контексте. Обращайте внимание на примеры их использования в предложениях и фразах.

Ну а теперь, вернемся к слову funny и разберемся в вечном вопросе изучающих английский.

В чем разница между funny и fun?

Funny – смешной, забавный (то, что заставляет нас смеяться).
