Some jokes in Spanish where the answers are supposed to be in Mandarin.
1. What do you call someone who's poor? Chin chun chentavo. (Spanish: Sin un centavo. {Without a cent.}) 2. What do call a single woman? Chin chun macho. (Spanish: Sin un macho. {Without a male.}) - Kat 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here's a trilingual one on youtube.
The three hunters (English-Hakka- Hokkien) Englishmen: You look! Hakka: yu lok? (There's a deer?) (Hakka shot the deer) Hokkien: m3-si7! (No it isn't!) Hakka: m si? (Not dead yet?) hoi do long chong! (I'll fire two more shots) (Hakka shot again) They approached the 'deer' and it was actually a woman (The Hakka hunter thought the other two hunters were speaking Hakka. "You look" sounds like 「有鹿」"There's a deer", and 「唔是」"m3-si7" in Hokkien sounds very much like 「唔 死」"It isn't dead") 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Surprised no one posted this one yet! One of my all time favorites and I saw it years before I ever took an interest in learning Spanish.

"Chiquilladas", a popular program in Mexico in the 80s, was chock full of jokes like this. Also, La India Maria used to have all sorts of pronunciation gags with her Spanish. I *loved* her sense of humor. R. == 1 person has voted this message useful |
