ITT: you translate a joke in your native language that makes no sense in English, then you explain the humor, completely ruining it.
I'll start:

What animal has between 3 and 4 eyes? The louse.

Louse is piolho in Portuguese. Olho = eye, so 3.14 eyes
>>
que animal tiene entre 3 y 4 ojos? el piojo

ojo= eye, so 3,14 ojos.
>>
Do you want to hear a joke? The cat with the tie.
I'm not sure your lesser minds can appreciate superior norwegian humor but I'll try to explain it to you.
In norwegian, "joke" and "tie" rhyme, making it hilarious.
>>
I couldn't find the patty, guess why ? Because he patty.
>>
ketä eläimellä on 3 ja 4 välillä silmiä? piisilmä

slimä = eye, so 3,14 eyes
>>
Your dad is arumku?

The joke is that the other person says ''lo'', which means no, and ''arum kulo'' means ''totally naked''
>>
What did Michael Jackson do in an elevator? Had sex with a child.

painaa means "to press" but it can also mean "to have sex with"

nappula means button but it can also mean child
>>
A: "oh, can you really speak English? Then translate peixe, bola, gato"

B: "easy: fish, ball, cat"

The trick is that those words are similar to "fiz boquete", fiz = did, boquete = blowjob.

What happened when the policeman looked at himself in the mirror?

The civil policeman,

The joke is that civil police is a type of police in brazil and the civil policeman is pronounced the same as the policeman saw himself.
>>
- What animal is a double animal? The cat, because it is a cat and spider.
- Then your mom is one too, because she is a fox and cobra.

*explanation*
Spider is "araña" in Spanish, but "araña" is also the 3rd p sg of "arañar" (to scratch), so the sentence says "it's a cat and it scratches".
The female fox (zorra) is another word for "whore", and we have the snake's name "cobra" like English. However, "cobrar" means "to get paid" -> cobra = she gets paid -> you mom is a whore and gets paid for that.

>>

>>
>>69829789
Explaining:
100 = cem
1 = um
101 = cento e um
"cento" has the same pronunciation as "sento", which means "I sit". So "cento e um" sounds like "sento em um" (I sit in a...). From here, you know the deal.

When I was 15 I used to take a shit and my dad had been ocasionally hanging out around the toilet asking me why I was so silent. First time I didn't respond so he tried to force open the door shouting: "Why are you keeping silence, what's going on there?" He started swearing and tellong me he's gonna knock down the door, also he used to swear when I forgot to flush the toilet, not only after I took a shit, but even right after the shit left my asshole saying that it stank. He used to tell me: "When I just took a shi I always flush it down and you have to do the same!" One day I was sitting on the toilet and heard that my dad stood right next to the door, so I wipe my ass and got on my knees - there's a chink under the door - so I watch through the chink and see my dad on his knees looking at me through the chink saying: "What's wrong with you? What the hell are you doing there?" By the way dad always drinks some decoction which makes him take a dump often, like 5 times a day, then he complains his ass is sore and farts. That's fucked up! That's a real story I'm not a troll.
>>
>>69830224
You reminded me of another one:
> What did one slide say to the other one?
>The years fly (the time flies).
Explanation: "Ânus" (anus) has the same pronunciation as "Anos" (years), so people's asses go through the slides really quickly, therefore "os ânus passam rápido" (the anuses pass by fastly), which sounds the same as "os anos passam rápido" (time flies).

>>
>>69830876

>>
The little Pepa goes around Prague during socialism times and yells: "Lenin! Lenin! Where are you?"
A policeman goes by and stops him: "Pepa, why are you screaming here like that? Comrade Lenin is long time dead, don't you know that?"
"But comrade officer, our comrade techer told us, that Lenin is eternal."
"Yeah Pepa you see," says the policeman "you are here in Žitná street!"

hahahaha

>>69831264
>I always assumed it was just some sort of collective Russian autism
it is
>>
Here's a chemistry one:
>Why are the hammer and the scissors hydrocarbons?
>Because the hammer is propyne and the scissors are propane.

Explanation: "Propino" (propyne) sounds like "Pro pino" (for the pin or "nail") and "Propano" (propane) sounds like "Pro pano" (for the fabric), so the hammer is for the pin/nail and the scissors are for the fabric (to cut it).
>>
>>69831289
the joge pun explained:

eternal is in Czech "věčný"
and there are two main famous streets in Prague, one called Žitná (Rye street) and the other Ječná (Barley street). So when Pepa says that teacher told him "Lenin je věčný" = Lenin is eternal, the officer understood that as "Lenin je v Ječný" = Lenin is in Barley street, which sounds completely the same. But Pepa and officer were in Rye street instead.
It's a joke on policeman being dumb.

Woraus werden polnische Autos gemacht? Aus Diebstahl!

What are German cars made of? German steel.

The joke is that steel is Stahl in German, which is also present in the word Diebstahl (theft), and Poles stealing everything is a meme here in Germany
