The joke you’re referring to plays on the double meaning of words for comedic effect, known as a pun. The phrase “running with scissors” is a common warning given to children to avoid a potentially dangerous situation, as running with sharp objects can lead to accidents. The second part of the joke takes the phrase “two girls scissoring,” which is a colloquial term for a sexual act between two women, and combines it with “the runs,” which is a slang term for diarrhea.

This joke is an example of a bait-and-switch. It starts by asking a series of straightforward questions about the number of body parts on animals, which seems innocent and factual. The listener is led to believe that the questions are all animal-related trivia. However, the punchline shifts the context from a simple counting exercise to an inappropriate double entendre by using slang terms for human genitalia, contrasting the terms “black c*ck” (slang for a Black man’s genitalia) and “white pu**y” (slang for a White woman’s genitalia). The humor, which may be offensive to some, is derived from the unexpected and abrupt change in the meaning of the words.

This joke is a pun that plays on the similarity in sound between the word “gobble,” which is the characteristic sound a turkey makes, and “Google,” the name of the well-known internet search engine. The humor lies in the turkey seemingly attempting to communicate with the computer in its own language — saying “gobble” — which humorously comes out sounding like “Google,” a word associated with computers and searching the internet.

This joke uses a rhetorical device where the punchline is deliberately delayed, creating suspense for the listener. It’s a meta-joke, in which the method of keeping someone in suspense is to literally keep them waiting for the answer. By saying “I’ll tell you next week,” the speaker is enacting the very suspense they’re purportedly going to explain how to create. It’s a play on the listener’s expectation for an immediate punchline, which is a common structure in joke-telling.

This joke is a pun that combines the word “yams,” which sweet potatoes are often confused with or colloquially referred to, and “jammies,” a colloquial term for pajamas. The humor comes from the playful use of language, taking the familiar concept of wearing pajamas to bed and applying it whimsically to sweet potatoes, which obviously do not wear clothing. By creating the portmanteau “yammies,” the joke playfully suggests that if sweet potatoes did wear bedtime attire, it would be something akin to pajamas but with a name that reflects their identity as yams (sweet potatoes), hence “yammies.”
