This joke is a play on words involving the term “drumsticks.” In one context, drumsticks are the tools used by a drummer to play drums. In another context, drumsticks refer to the lower part of a turkey’s legs, which are also commonly eaten as a food item. The humor arises from the double meaning of the word and the absurdity of imagining a turkey as a member of a band, equipped not with musical instruments, but with its own limbs which coincidentally share a name with a musical tool. The joke is a typical example of pun-based humor.

This humorous set of instructions is a parody of a typical recipe, but it comically focuses on the consumption of whisky rather than the actual preparation of the turkey. The joke is that as the cook consumes more alcohol, their ability to follow the cooking process deteriorates. The steps become increasingly nonsensical and jumbled, with words like “whisky” and “turkey” getting mixed up (“whisky another bottle of get” instead of “get another bottle of whisky”), indicating the cook’s growing inebriation. The humor also comes from the absurdity of the actions described, such as “take the oven out of the turkey” instead of taking the turkey out of the oven, and the final step where the cook is supposed to “bless the saying, pass and eat out,” which is a muddled version of saying grace and eating the meal. It’s a playful reminder of how alcohol can impair one’s ability to perform tasks, in this case, cooking a holiday meal.

This joke plays on the expectation of a typical hunting story and subverts it with an unexpected and inappropriate punchline. The hunter’s repeated attempts to shoot the bear and the bear’s repeated confrontations create a pattern that the audience expects will lead to a final showdown. However, the punchline suggests that the hunter’s true motivation might not be hunting at all, given that he keeps ending up in a compromising position with the bear. The humor is derived from the absurdity and the implication that the hunter might have ulterior motives for returning, despite the painful outcomes of his previous encounters.
Here is the joke’s link from The Crown’s:

This joke relies on wordplay involving the multiple meanings of “fresh” and “jam.” In one context, “fresh” can refer to fruit that is ripe and newly picked, which is desirable. However, “fresh” can also mean presumptuous or overly bold in a social context. “Jam,” on the one hand, is a sweet spread made from fruit and sugar, typically involving cooking the fruit until it breaks down into a thick mixture. On the other hand, “jam” can also mean a difficult situation or a tight spot.

The humor comes from the strawberry using these words to suggest that if the other strawberry hadn’t been so bold (or overripe), they wouldn’t have ended up being made into a fruit jam, which is a play on finding themselves in a “sticky” situation.

This joke plays on the common critique of the fine line between cults and religions. It suggests that both are based on systems of belief that may be seen as unfounded or deceptive. The punchline hinges on the idea that in a cult, the leader is alive and knowingly perpetuating a scam, whereas in a religion, the original founder, who might have been aware of the deception, has passed away, leaving followers who genuinely believe in the teachings. The humor comes from the cynical perspective on belief systems and the implication that the only difference between a cult and a religion is time and the mortality of its founder.
