The joke is a play on words combining
"Domino's" (the pizza chain) with
"Doctor Who's Who" (a reference guide to
the TV show Doctor Who).
The comedian is saying he's compiled
information about all the employees at
his local Domino's pizza place into a book,
and he's calling it "Domino's Who's Who"
- which sounds like "Doctor Who's Who."
It's a pun that works on multiple levels:
β’ "Who's Who" traditionally refers to a
directory of notable people
β’ It references the TV show "Doctor
Who"
β’ It's about Domino's pizza employees
(probably not actually notable people
worth documenting)
The humor comes from the absurdity of
creating an official-sounding reference

I don't get the Domino's joke: The
22-year-old Masters student said
the UK Pun Championships show,
which was hosted by comedian
Jason Byrne and involved comics
competing in a boxing ring, was
the biggest of his career so far.
"It's just very overwhelming, but
very exciting as well," he said.
Pickard got the audience
laughing with his wisecrack: "The
song Greensleeves was
composed by Henry VIII. I'd play
some of it here, but it's not
royalty-free." He also quipped:
"I've compiled everyone who
works at my local takeaway pizza
place into a book. It's my
Domino's Who's Who.

The joke's a play on words! "Domino's"
sounds like "Dumani's Who's Who",
referencing the famous reference book
"Who's Who".
! So, he's jokingly saying
he's made a book about the people who
work at his local Domino's pizza place,
rather than a serious "Who's Who"
compilation
β’ Make sense?

It's a wordplay joke built on the phrase
"Who's Who."
A Who's Who is a reference book that lists
notable or important people in a particular
field.
He says he's made a book listing everyone
who works at his local Domino's. So it's a
Who's Who - but specifically of Domino's
staff.
"Domino's Who's Who" works because:
β’ It rhymes and has a pleasing rhythm.
β’ It combines the brand name Domino's
with the familiar phrase Who's Who.
β’ The humour comes from treating pizza
shop employees as if they're notable
figures worthy of a prestigious directory.
It's a light, slightly groan-worthy pun rather
than a deep joke.

= Domino's Joke Explained: A Pun
This is a play on words (a pun) that relies on a
specific British accent and the meaning of the
phrase "Who's Who."
Here is the breakdown:
1. The Sound: If you say "Domino's" quickly
with a British accent, it sounds very similar
to "The Minnows" (or "Da Minnows").
2. The Meaning:
β’ Who's Who is a famous reference book
that lists influential, wealthy, and
powerful people-often referred to
metaphorically as "big fish."
β’ Minnows are tiny fish. In this context, it
refers to "small fry" or ordinary,
unimportant people (like the workers at
a local pizza takeaway) compared to the
"big fish" in the real book.
So, the joke is that instead of a "Who's Who"
of big shots, he has c β’ id a "Minnows'

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Kids can't hang out in parks. They can't hang out at the mall. They don't have 3rd spaces because no one wants kids around and then we are surprised when they rely on SM for connection.
If you take that away, what do they have left?
