In summary: It's a humor that relies on absurdity and unexpectedness. It's not for everyone.Not a fan of surrealism, I take it?In summary, surrealism is an art form that relies on absurdity and unexpectedness, often producing incongruous imagery or effects. It may not be appreciated by everyone, but for those who do, it can be quite humorous.

You can have the hammer but you have to return (shows up) it.

I had figured this one to be one of the jokes that pick out the people who will laugh at anything. Like:
What did one baby say to the other?

What wall?

(Then laugh maniacally and see who joins in.)

Sheesh, why do we have to explain stuff like this?! Google translate mis-translated "boomerang" as "submarine". The two are very close in German. :oldeyes:

The problem was that Google gave me "show up" for "auftauchen" which should have been "breaking the surface" in English. We say "auftauchen" for subs and for things that "show up" again after being out of sight.

0-7. I am very, very disappointed.

Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. You learn a lot, but the frog dies.

This is the kind of joke that always makes me wonder: The joke is so lame that I don't want to give it a thumbs up so as to not encourage future publications of similar jokes ... but "lame jokes" is the subject of the thread, thus it corresponds exactly to the expected criteria! So I'm always torn between reacting well to it or not.

... and in addition, I got caught in laziness, letting Google translate it without making the effort to check the result. let alone choose the correct pronoun and verb.

I found it funny. It reminds me of jokes they make here with kids who want to become a craftsman. It can happen that they send you to the hardware store to get anvil grease or things like that.

This could be an emoji.
I once caused the following dialogue:

"You laugh! Can you explain it to me?"
"No. I just learned when to laugh."

"Can you lend me the hammer?"
.... "Sure thing, but be careful with it. It's made of submarine steel."
"Submarine steel? What's so special about that?"
.... "Well, if you use it to hammer a nail, it's going to submarine your thumb!"
"What? That's not funny!"
.... "Hey, you said you wanted it to be funnier.
.... I'm just trying to hammer home a joke here."

..."What's so special about submarine steel?"
"Well, if you use it to nail something down,
it's guaranteed to stay down,
even if Atlantis rises again."

...
Submarine steel? What does that even mean?" asked Tom.

"Well," Jerry said with a smirk, "it means that if you use it to nail something, it'll come back up to the surface again like a submarine."

Tom looked puzzled for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Okay, okay, you got me there! I'll be careful not to accidentally launch anything into orbit!"

...
"Sure, but it's made of submarine steel." "What does this mean?" "Well, it means that if you accidentally drop it in the ocean, it'll sink straight to the bottom! But don't worry, it'll show up again... in a few million years when archaeologists find it and wonder why someone made a hammer out of submarine steel."courtesy: ChatGPT

"Mallorca. We had a great time."

So to beat the proverbial dead horse (erm, joke) a bit more, I now understand it to be something like:

"Can I have my special hammer back you borrowed last week?"
"Oh, sorry! I can't find it right now, but don't worry it will eventually surface."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you did say it was made from submarine steel!"
