Dad Joke Explanation - 12/30/2025
Explaning the joke "How do you make a tissue dance? You put a little boogie in it.”
Let's go
The joke works because it uses one word with two different meanings that sound almost the same:
- “Boogie” (pronounced boo‑gee) can mean to dance.
- But “boogie” also sounds almost exactly like “booger”, which means the snot you blow into a tissue.
So when the joke says:
“How do you make a tissue dance?You put a little boogie in it.”
It tricks your brain:
- At first, you think it means “You put a little dance in it.”
- But the real joke is that you make a tissue “move” by putting a booger in it — which is silly and gross, and that’s why it’s funny.
It’s a classic kid-style joke built on sound similarity + surprise meaning.
