What Freud Can Teach Us About brother puns

I’ve seen this joke a few times over the years. I’ve even heard it at cocktail parties where the host and the guest are drinking and the guest is telling the host how he or she was so funny when he was younger.

It only took me a few seconds to figure out that the joke was about my brother. I was going to be the next guest at a party and the host was going to be an actor. The host was going to pretend to be my brother, and the guest would be the actor. Then the host would say to the guest, “You’re the funny one.” My brother, a guy who always did things the hard way, was the actor.

The guest was going to pretend to be my brother and the host was going to pretend to be the actor. There was a little misunderstanding about where this was going to go. The host was acting drunk, not really sure what was going on. The guest wasn’t really sure what was going on either. As I mentioned, I was in college when I graduated. I don’t have a college degree so I don’t know exactly what the rules are of this game.

In a sense, you’re correct. There are no rules. You may be a drunk, it’s your choice.

The host is a drunk, but he still has a sense of responsibility. The guest is a drunk too, but he still has a sense of responsibility. I suppose if we were to make fun of people who drink too much, we’d have to consider the host a drunk too.

Well that’s a pretty silly way to decide who’s a drunk, but I’ll stick with it. In any case, brother puns are a great way to start off a sentence.

In the first case, it’s a little weird when an alcoholic tells you something like, “Ok, I’m going to be drinking a lot tonight,” because he’s really just telling you how he’ll be drinking a lot tonight, so you should probably expect to be drinking a lot tonight too.

Actually, no. The implication is that you should expect to be drinking a lot tonight too, because you should be.

In the next case, the joke is that you should expect to be drinking a lot tonight, because you should. Actually, I should probably be drinking a lot tonight too. Because I should be.
