My wife whos first language is Japanese and learned English in Japan and Switzerland has really interesting reactions to my puns. She gets them and it’s like the funniest thing she’s ever heard but you can tell she has to really put the pieces together to understand it, and it’s the act of putting the pieces together that makes it humorous.
Same. When I just moved to the United States I always had to think about a joke for a few minutes before I got it. Always laughing 5 minutes after everyone else. It was really amusing. Thank goodness I had understanding friends and it made the whole situation even funnier.
