So, any puns out there that rely on multiple languages?

Such as:

No Matter How Kind French And Spanish Children Are, German Children Are Kinder.


There was a contest to get some animals across a river. There was the OneTwoThree dog, the UnoDosTres rabbit, and the UnDeuxTrois cat. The OneTwoThree dog floated across fine. The UnoDosTres rabbit floated across fine. Unfortunately, the UnDeuxTrois cat sank.


A street performer was in a tourist location, and saw people from England, France, Spain, and Germany around. He wanted to make sure people got a good view of his performance, so he got up on a little hill. He asked if people had a good view. The response? "Yes" "Oui" "Si" "Ja"


(Notice I asked for puns, not good puns....)

This one was good!, Here's one I found online

Why does a Frenchman eat just one egg for breakfast? Because one egg is "an oeuf"

(I think that English-French puns are the best in this context because most users here are familiar with English/French)

A Spanish man who spoke no English went into a department store to buy socks.
He found his way to the menswear department where a young lady offered to help him.
"Quiero calcetines" said the man.
"I don't speak Spanish, but we have some very nice suits over here." said the salesgirl.
"No, no quiero trajes. Quiero calcetines." said the man.
"Well, these shirts are on sale this week." declared the salesgirl.
"No, no quiero camisas. Quiero calcetines." repeated the man.
"I still don't know what you're trying to say. We have some fine pants on this rack." offered the salesgirl.
"No, no quiero pantalones. Quiero calcetines." insisted the man.
"These sweaters are top quality." the salesgirl probed.
"No, no quiero sueter. Quiero calcetines." said the man.
"Our undershirts are over here." fumbled the salesgirl, beginning to lose patience.
"No, no quiero camisetas. Quiero calcetines." the man repeated.
As they passed the underwear counter, the man spotted a display of socks and happily grabbed a pair. Holding them up he proclaimed "Eso sí que es!".
"Well, if you could spell it, why didn't you do that in the beginning?" asked the exasperated salesgirl.

I once passed by a French cinema claiming "ennuyeux" on its display glass. Wondering, I asked the salesman why such a thing was written. He responded that he saw this paradoxical technique used in a clothes shop in London, claiming the clothes to be "sales".

A magician was performing in front of a mostly Mexican crowd. He said he would vanish on the count of 3. He asked the audience to count it out for him.
Uno!
Dos!
...and he disappeared without a tres.

That one is also on Reddit.

But I don't know how to do so.

¡Hola, soy Milk! --- says the milkman.


A man from Germany said "tschüss" to a Chinese man and walked away.
The Chinese man was angry and thought the German man was swearing.

Oh, I forget that one.

German kid:what 7+2?
English man:Nine
German kid: Alright then, keep your secrets

(Because Nine "9" and NEIN "no" sound the same)

English man should have say "NEUN"

A Russian actor is performing Hamlet. He is rehearsing the famous scene with Yorick's skull.

"Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him well."

The director yells "Cut! No, no, no, you've got the line wrong. It's 'I knew him, Horatio!'"

"Sorry, sorry", the actor apologises. And he starts the scene again.

"Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him Хорошо."
