His look was pasty.

Two Italian restaurants operated on the same street. The other chef was certain that the other one had stolen his recipes so he payed a visit at his competitor’s restaurant.

He got served with nice plate of spaghetti and the waitress said: “This full pl8, I’m sure you can appreci8. It’s so gr8. Now just dig in don’t hesit8, I sure you don’t want to w8”.

The chef looked at the waitress and asked: “Is that a copypasta?”

Clown asks: "What do you call someone posing as a fake Italian chef? An im-pasta"

Man doesn't laugh

Clown asks: "What do you get when you cross a tiger and a bear? A tiger and a bear seeking revenge."

No response

Clown asks: "Which super hero asks the most questions? Wonder Woman"

Nothing

Clown asks: "Have you heard of the baseball team the Chicago Hot Dogs? They are the wurst"

Clown asks: "Why was the alcoholic so annoying? He wined too much"

Clown starts to get nervous

Clown asks: "The disinterested hockey player got a penalty. What was it? Boarding"

He never laughs. Clown gives him his $100 and asks "Did any of my jokes make you laugh?"

Man says "No pun-in-ten-did"

Boyfriend and I went to Portillo's (Italian Beef sandwich place in Chicago) and ordered sammies.

While we were eating, I started a story with the phrase, "so, I kind of have a beef with..."

He pauses, looks down at my now-empty sandwich wrapper and responds with,

"well, you had a beef..."

Also, I've stopped asking him to call my phone when I misplace it because I'm tired of the "what do you want me to call it?" response.

Boy and I have been together for...8 months or so, dad-jokes only got super frequent recently - men of /r/dadjokes - is this a condition that occurs after several months of dating? Please help.

"What's for supper?" I'd sometimes ask my dad when I was growing up. A big grin would stretch across his face. "My famous Italian dish," he'd say, still smiling, "Make-your-own-y." He must have used that joke 100 times. He laughed every time.

There's a rich man that has an Italian chef named Antonio and a Mexican servant named Terry. The rich man requests a meat dish with an Asian kick, so the chef gets to work, but he soon notices that he has no Asian flavoring. Frantically, he sends the servant to get some sauce.

As the rich man becomes increasingly impatient for his meal, the chef calls the servant and asks, "Terry, where are you, and what sauce did you get?"

The servant, pulling into the driveway, replies simply, "Terry aqui!"

Years ago I used to use a LexisNexis database of companies that would give corporate information like name, address, and general business description. While most of them were pretty bland, there were a bunch of them with some really cheesy puns, and over a few years I built quite a collection.

The other day we went for pizza and the server asked if we were ready,

Server: what are you having?

Dad: I'll have a calzone, size 40.

Me: ...

the server and my parents start laughing.

Mom: come on son, laugh, that was a funny joke.

Me: no mom. That joke was too cheesy

EDIT: in spanish the word "calzone" translates to "underwear" amirite italians?

Our family was out eating at an Italian restaurant. My brothers glasses started fogging up which happens.

Mom: If you want we can always get you contacts.

Brother: No, I don't need them, it's just when my glasses fog up I can't see jack.

Dad: don't worry I'll help you find him "Jack you around?"

This happened in public... People saw. Then whenever people would walk by he would look at my brother and ask if it was Jack.

A little background, I'm in my twenties eating at an Italian restaurant where they ask you if you'd like some extra cheese grated on top of your meal. The waitress was young and cute, so this went down:

Waitress: "Would you like cheese on your Ravioli?"

Me: "Sure, that would be great!" <grate>

Waitress: cracks a smile

"That's a moray."
