Japanese jokes you've created

Morning everyone, just as the title says, curious about any jokes youve possibly created in Japanese. I personally love to make little jokes and quips but for the most part they fall flat on my japanese coworkers, and so ive been trying to come up with new jokes in japanese, Ive managed to come up with two of which only one is any good. So Ill start with the bad one

人口は人工だ (じんこう は じんこう だ)

Its no good though ive gotten a few pity chuckles. The second one is loved by everyone Ive told it to though it requires a set up potentially.

Basically, in Japanese get someone to ask for your age

何歳いですか?(なんさいいですか)

天才です。(てんさいです)

It catches most people off guard but its a pretty good one. Lots of chuckles

Every time we go to a shrine or a mountain hike and we pass a bunch of the little stone guys I hit them with “お地蔵様でした”

It’s been hit or miss, but I think it’s hilarious

Also there’s the classic:
“みて”
“何?”
“足何本ですか?”
“2本?”
“だから日本人です”

I was once engaged in some pillow talk with an English speaking Japanese girl. While we were whispering sweet nothings to each other and smiling like giddy fools she said something I thought was quite witty and a little humorous. Not quite enough to make me burst into laughter, but funny enough for me to want to acknowledge it. The best my drunk behind could come up with at the time was to look her dead in the eye and tap each of my upper incisors one at a time while saying 歯 (tap) 歯 (tap) 歯 (tap) 歯 (tap)

I have never seen the attraction leave someone’s face quite as spectacularly as I did that day.

I was eating, read that and didnt understand it at first, Then when it registered I nearly choked on my food. Thats funny as fuck.

I dont quite understand the joke here, can you explain it?

Lol was this in reference to my 駄洒落? If so I’m glad you enjoyed it.

try reading it in an almost insultingly stereotypical Italian accent and then remember the three letter word which could mean donkey. I think that should get you there.

This barely counts as a joke, but

泥棒に一番好きな野菜は何でしょうか?ヌスビです

(“What’s a thief’s favorite vegetable? A yoinkplant.” )

For a real joke (not mine):

男と新幹線の共通点はなんでしょう?エキを飛ばすこと.

this reminds me of a clip out of some stream of a Japanese woman learning German and some viewer got her to repeatedly say ほうれん草, which in German happens to sound very rude. I don’t know the streamer but the clip became quite popular
