0:32
introduced the show would you so this is
0:34
the ten funniest word hey this is the
0:36
worst the best podcast with your host
0:38
Ryan Balkan and Ruben Balkan and we're
0:41
going over the 10 funniest words
0:42
apparently in the English language yeah
0:45
there's an actual study done if you can
0:47
blue the Canadian study so go Canada
0:49
pair of University of Alberta
0:51
researchers say they've analyzed what is
0:53
the funniest words in the English
0:55
language they pick 10 10 of the funniest
0:57
words I don't know any other words yet I
0:59
know a few of them I did read them Ruben
1:01
I've ever read them but I might know the
1:02
word of my funny you there are some
1:04
words that you will know so what Ruben I
1:06
are gonna do is we're going to say the
1:09
word guess what the word means and then
1:11
Rubens gonna Google the word to see how
1:13
close we are and we're also going to
1:14
gauge our react well I'm basically going
1:16
to gauge Rubens reaction and mine as
1:19
well but I'll be reading the word so I
1:20
don't get the luxury of hearing the word
1:22
I wrote to see if Ruben has a one person
1:24
study if you find these words funny in
1:28
trista cailli funny so here are some of
1:31
the things though about the study just
1:33
so we know using a sophisticated
1:34
statistical analysis of 3 billion words
1:37
worth of prose on Google they found
1:39
words likely to get a laugh and they
1:42
found that they tend to be associated
1:43
with sex bodily functions good times
1:47
animals and insults but that's not
1:50
enough they have to sound funny to my
1:52
understanding that words with a K or
1:55
cuff sound is sounds funnier did you
1:59
know this before the study yeah for
2:01
America yeah I read this back so that's
2:03
why it's cause more Kramer interesting
2:06
was here ago Ruben yeah if they got the
2:08
sound found a 17.4% of the words judge
2:11
most fight that's good so is a hard K or
2:14
ending in a little le double letters are
2:17
also funny so they found this in their
2:19
study they asked an Iranian grad student
2:21
who really didn't and this student did
2:23
not find the words that we found Phi to
2:26
be found funny so they found the culture
2:27
plays into it okay
2:29
the Iranian student said I needs to be a
2:31
bit rude so we're
2:34
so Canadians I just told them sorry
2:38
that's the culture you're now so kudos
2:43
to these Canadian searchers and I have
2:45
did better research I would say to their
2:46
names are but I'm gonna reach out to
2:47
them when this is over so here we go
2:49
Raven don't look I'm not looking all
2:51
right
2:51
this was like done with thousands of
2:53
people named gauge the reaction so
2:56
here's the 10 funniest words sharing
2:59
english in english in english engrish if
3:02
from a sample of nearly 45,000 so
3:06

9:29
Jason prefers puffs over puff ball all
9:31
right I think puff ball works well
9:32

9:46
plopping alright last word this is couch
9:50
per me Kuch Kuch Kuch Kuch yeah like
9:55
sitting on a couch but your couch
9:58
instead of CO och okay I think you don't
10:02
know what it means
10:03
no I think I don't know why no but I
10:05
think I know what it means it's I think
10:07
it's referring to a lady's nether
10:09
regions I think I hope I'm not wrong I
10:12
hope I'm not wrong because it'd be kind
10:14
of embarrassing if that's what I think
10:15
it is is that how the spell as they say
10:17
see Oh och okay well there's the couch
10:21
with a see is a sinuous
10:24
a singular sore quasi oriental dance
10:26
performed by a woman a characterized
10:27
chiefly but suggested gyrating and
10:29
shaking of the body so that's your couch
10:31
region your nether regions that's right
10:33
your never be a so couch the definition
10:35
is vagina Larry you can read your own
10:39
yeah yeah so go ahead Google Google
10:42
couch all you want
10:43
alright so those those are recorded
10:47
scientists I'll say again this was a
10:48
Canadian study found these turn 10 words
10:51
to be the funniest words in English
10:52
language I can see why the Iranian
10:54
students said sometimes you're a bit
10:55
rude that's fine it's fair ribbon which
10:58
word according to science yeah you know
11:00
you think is the worst of the 10 worst
11:03
Jason's were the best but okay a whole
11:05
lesson on it yeah you know when you talk
11:07
about somebody who doesn't really
11:08
understand humor yeah I work with people
11:11
who don't understand he work yes is
11:13
Kylie thinking
11:14
Taylor Swift is a really good musician
11:16
right and then you hear real good music
11:18
you know that's not actually good music
11:19
that she's playing right it's catchy
11:21
sure in a very catchy but not good seem
11:26
with humor not that I'm very funny I
11:28
think that but those good humor my guess
11:30
is that these scientists doing this list
11:33
you don't understand humor or the people
11:35
do the city I am free I guess but
11:39
there's a word that made you lose
11:40
reconsidered me to say that all those
11:43
houses people don't know what's funny
11:44
sure but is this objective its objective
11:46
on our brother Jason brought up the
11:48
funniest word on the English language
11:50
plot and I don't think there might I
11:52
don't know if there's a funny a word I
11:54
hope you there's a funnier four-letter
