French Joke
For my third audio assignment, I did the “Make ’em Laugh” assignment. In all honesty, I needed something that wouldn’t be too time consuming, as I didn’t have a ton of time left. I did a bit of internet browsing, and found a funny joke in French.
It translates to …
Make ’em Laugh
I’m currently taking German 201 and I thought that this joke was very punny as I like to call it. I choose this joke because I feel that a person who doesn’t speek German can still get the jist of it and might be able to get a laugh out …

Make ‘Em Laugh (1 1/2 Stars)

Ich Bin ein Berliner
So this assignment was called “Make em Laugh” basically we were supposed to tell a joke in another language, lay a soundtrack, and add a laugh track.

¡Eso sí que es!
Here’s my quick attempt at the Make’em Laugh! assignment.
