hahaha, oh, i found this so funny. mogmatt, its not so much a teaser, i think, as it is a joke. i love this one.
I really liked this one!! I guested them all correctly (I've heard the one about the elephant and the zebra before)
this is going to sound stupid BUT IT'S THE TRUTH!!!!!!!
When i clicked on this teaser nothing came up and so I thought someone had somewho gotten away with putting nothing up. And yes, it's a joke remake. But hey, it's a good joke.

This doesn't specify exactly what you're supposed to do - say you figure out question 2. How would you know that the answer had anything to do with the answer in question 3? You don't explain anything.
So Roserox That's Half The Fun Of This Joke. Well Done Mogmatt. This Really Made Me Laugh!
I thought it had to do with chopping the animals up or something...

It would have been alright if I was in the 3rd grade.
booooring. this is so famous. even back then when arij wrote this, my whole school probably knows about it.
Good one.
This teaser was easy. I have heard it before, but still, good teaser!
Drunky you must be drunk. You got it in your email because it was the teaser of the day. Derrrrrrrr!
For question 4, he could have crossed a bridge! Where does it say there isn't a bridge?
i love this one! itslike your parents wathing old movies from, like year 1770! isn't there sopposed to be something about 'the lion king' in it, you know, like the movie?
The answers were just simply halarious!! This is deffintely going on my favorites list!
I am very sure I saw this teaser before.
Fun
I've heard it before so I knew the answer
i know this from when i was little i always say it with an elephant and a giraffe though, hmmmm. the kids i babysit for didnt get it
Very good. i haven't heard of if before but a lot of comments it's old. It's good to hear the old as new again.
That was soooo good!! I loved it! great job! I didn't really understand it, but when I read the answer, I got it! very funny!
I'm putting it on my fave list!
The problem is that about 9 out of every 10 people should know this. Its very common teaser. Its known as the "IQ test"
Oldie but Goodie.
Aug 09, 2004
Easy but xtremely fun
That was so easy.
I\'ve heard the first two before, but I completely forgot and didn\'t get it. Isn\'t that terrible? But the answer is halarious. I\'m putting this on my fave list.
I loved this teaser! Never would have guessed it.
That was really cool, and hilarious. I'm going to see your other teasers.
Yeah, this one was emailed around quite a few years ago based off a scientific study comparing kindergarteners' answers and adults' answers, but since you're the first to copy it onto Braingle, I'll give you some credit. I've always loved this one.
Ugh. I've heard this so many times; one more and it will be the hundredth time.
Well.. still an OK one.
Well.. still an OK one.
I loved this! Guess I've been out of the joke loop...this is the first time I've seen this May I use this as a fun quiz for my students? I'm saving this one...just great! Thanks...

Hilarious!
I have never heard this before! Very funny! i felt a bit silly that I did not get it! I will share it with my kids. Thanks
it's been going around in e-mail for awhile... good tho...
This will be the second going on my favorites list. Even though it isn't your original teaser, It still made me laugh. I saw it before though, so it was no challenge. Well done.
I've heard that many times, but it's still good
Interesting logic. I enjoyed it.
I acctually just got this one in an email.
Still funny though.
Still funny though.
Good Teaser, very funny
i also got something like this in an e-mail, but it's till really funny!
yeah me too
OMG . . . . that's so old
I found this one to be a bit of a groaner, but I'm in the minority I see! I found it to be more child-minded, but that's ok. It obviously put smiles on lots of faces, just not mine.
After I read the hint I was a-okay. I got them all right. That was a good one. Keep it up.
Jun 12, 2005
That isn't a brain teaser or a riddle. it's a bad joke.
this is funny, but why do they keep showing old ones. Are there not any from 2005?????
Jun 12, 2005
This is Very good It stumped a lot of my friends! It also stumped me! I do say good one
It's great, but I've seen it quite a bit before. ;P
ive heard this joke a few times before, but it's a good one for no one who has heard it before
That was a great teaser!
I was stumped for a while. I had originally thought about a bridge.

i have heard this soooooooooooooo many times and i have lost my intrest of its funnyness it would have been great if i hadnt heard it so many times
I have heard this before, but at least I got all of the answers!!
dis is da losr amng v losrs
I've deffinately heard this one before...basically a cliche.
I've heard this before. Great teaser. Its not lame. NO! Definately not lame .
so not lame it is going into my faves
Its a very famose teaser, i've heard it hundreds of times so it was EASY!!!!!
LOL! Good job, and very funny!
i really liked this one-cute.thanks
It makes more sense with a giraffe because people think you have to fold it.
As this is my first teaser in this category i found it extremely hard. but O WELL. i smiled when i read the answer.
Hilarious!
I've heard this one a couple times before, but it sure is funny!
I've never heard any of that joke before, so of course I had no clue. Very funny!
Got the first two answers right off the bat, but the last two got me! I felt ... like DUH!!!
Apparently this is the third time this teaser has made "teaser of the day". Isn't it a bad idea to use a joke as TOTD, as it might encourage more people to submit jokes as teasers?
EVEN I LIKED IT!!
Very old but good
Funny joke. I think we need more word squares, though. Just kidding imurray! Certainly more actual brain teasers...
loved the teaser i have never heard it before . it was great and i got the answers the first one to go on my list. it was great please make more
There's a thin line between a joke and a teaser. Isn't Wocka for jokes?
It's just as funny here as there.

Yesterday a dumb joke; today another; what's for tomorrow, the chicken?
LOL. loved it.
I've never heard this one before, but I do not consider it a teaser. It's a joke and you either know the answer or you don't.How do you know the answer? You have heard the joke before. Sorry, but I agree, this is not the forum for jokes.
heard it before but still quite funny.
I heard this one, too. And as one of you said, with an elephant and a GIRRAFE instead.
Too funny! Loved it!
I like jokes, but not when I'm expecting a teaser... Is there a website for jokes?
I'm sorry to have to sound so negative, but I was hoping this would have been a brain teaser and NOT a joke. Perhaps the Webmaster could add a Joke Forum to this Website. Clearly this was an 'old' joke...I'm waiting for a 'chicken crossing the road' joke to come by very soon....
hilaraus just hilaraus
i simply loved it
i simply loved it
I agree with some. I think it was a cute joke.
I've seen this one before, so I already knew the answers, but it's fun no matter how many times I read it. Love it!
You can look at the elephant through the wrong end of binnoculars, pick him up with tweezers, put him in a milk carton, and then put him in the fridge. That's the way I heard the joke many years ago.
that is hilaious !
That's great! I loved it...
this reminds me of old times, my dad used to tell me jokes like that all the time. another one is
how do you get four elephants into a volkwagen beetle? two in the front and two in the back.
how do you know that the elephants are in the movies?
the volkswagen is in the parking lot.

Very funny. I never heard it before, but I got the elephant part right away, the zebra took me a little longer, but I didn't get the last two. But it was hilarious. Thanks. ,

one of my faves!
lighten up folks it's a FUN site.
As a joke, this is a terrific oldie that is definitely good for a few laughs. I have enjoyed this particular joke on several occasions, and it rarely gets old.
However, it's not a teaser. The teaser submission guidelines (http://www.braingle.com/faq/index.php?cat=1) clearly state (in the fourth box down titled "Jokes") that Braingle.com does not accept jokes, and jokes should be submitted to Wocka.com.
I've seen several examples in the past few weeks of jokes submitted as teasers. Sorry guys, but if I want jokes I'll go to a joke website. Hopefully the editors are watching out for this in the new teasers being submitted.

lol two thumbs up wow best yet 20 stars that realy fools u cause u think they are all diffrent good
????????????????????????
um...
anyway, why does everyone keep saying: "good one, mogmatt"? when it says it was submitted by arji?????
Yeah, yeah,, it's funny, but not a teaser really, and then sometimes you see other borderline teaser/jokes and some people here get all IRATE that someone dared to submit a joke to this website. Oh well...

I can do the first 2 parts in 2 steps each:
1. Step 1: Open the refrigerator.
Step 2: Put the elephant inside.
2. Step 1: Take the elephant out.
Step 2: Put the zebra inside.
It just says put the elephant and the zebra in the refrigerator. It doesn't say anything about closing the door!

will some of you smarter people please tell me the difference between a "joke" and a "teaser"?
they are both funny are they not? a very good job Arij, i knew the first 2.any time someone brings a smile to your face, thank them don't try to make them feel bad..... OK sermon over. it was fun for me!!!!!!!!! (the teaser, not the sermon) have a good life

i got it! hehe i'm proud of myself, and i love the joke/teaser or whatever it is! i too have heard the elephant/zebra joke before, and figured it out from there... very cute!
its so old! my 4 year old brother and his frenz tell that joke!
I thought on this a bit. The hint helped . Then I laughed when I found it to be a kind of funny puzzle. Thanks
I LOVED IT!!! very very cute!!!
This was a real groaner! I loved it, but had to peek.
The only answer I didn't get was 3 and 4, but those are hilarious! Keep up the GREAT work. Wonderful teaser. Very cute.
What is such funny is how this joke can on so different many places on the internet at the same time under so much different names. I just found it in Wocka. Maybe no one checks these so good. It was a funny joke.
That was funny when I was fourteen. It's still cute, but very old.
haha... nys... i remmbr these jokes from b4, n i was rili try'n 2 remmbr the answrs, but, alas, i cudn't... o well... ... still, nys job!
Animals renamed, but an old joke, but it still makes you think for a minute or two. In defense of the editors, these were questions, right? One must use your brain to answer questions, granted maybe not too hard in this case, but hey, step up to the plate and put your money where your mouth is. Hey Imurry, glad were argeed on this one.
omg, that was hilarious!!!!!!!!! its so going into my favs
how odd
good 1! i've heard it b4 but it was still really great!
That's freakin' stupid, couldn't you come up with a more logical scenario???
sooooooo easy!! totally got it, arely even needed to read it
Very funny! No luck again - didnt get any right.. Was wondering where it says that the answers for #2 onwards are linked to the earlier answers! Needs some different thinking.
lol
lol, i loved it!
That was so confusing!! I didn't read the hint so I didn't know that the questions were linked together. It probably would have helped--a lot.......good one though
Very cute, I really liked this one. Thanks!!
I have heard the Zebra one, but the one about the King's Wedding and the river were a new twist. Very clever, yet easy
Heard it before - nice teaser though.
I knew till 3rd question but the last one was new to me.
That's really good!!! I just love teasers that are funny. Keep writing 'em!
AWESOME!!!!!
Oh, and if you leave the door open, the cold will get out and the elephant will get warm and nobody likes a warm elephant.

it was easy 4 me bc i took it on youtube but it was really fun
Hehe very nice! I like it a lot.
WAY too funny!!! Great!
An old joke that people are going on about like it was the winning lottery ticket.
This worries me.
Can we get back to real teasers now?
This worries me.
Can we get back to real teasers now?
I think I'm going to agree with doehead on this one...
Thanks emu77 for agreeing with me before I commented. This was the dumbest,stupidest, and biggest waste of time ever on briangle.The editors need their heads screwed on straighter. Enough said!!!
I used to use trick questions like these to prepare my students for their state board exams. It was fun as well as being a great exercise for them.
hmm very clever. i liked it. definetly going in my favs
Since most people agreed that this is a job, not a teaser, why is Braingle rerunning it after all this time? Does anyone know?
i love this teaser. I've seen it years ago, but it's always funny.
Love it!!!
Nov 20, 2011
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
love it!!!!!!
love it!!!!!!
Everybody has said it all. Funny if you have never heard it before and boring and lame if you have. It really is an old one. I could not even crack a smile. Sorry. Glad a lot of you liked it though!!!
If you look at how many people responded in 2005 & 2006 you will notice how this site has eroded. All because the teasers are 98% repeats!!!
Same remark I made in 2009 applies, except job was meant to be joke.
I have so many comments: but I'll just say If I wanted a stupid grade school riddle I would have logged onto a different site.
I am an old, retired grandma, and have always been a fan of jokes - I have never heard this one before. No, I didn't figure it out. I liked it very much! - If all of the people who complained for some reason would just leave a quick comment, then find a teaser more to their liking, we who enjoyed it could enjoy it even more by not having to slog through all the complaints.
Good job!
Good job!
I just read this one on the internet. I already new the answers. I'm wondering if I can submit something like this too. I really didn't know that you could. I wish I could remember where I read this one. It is cute though.
Wish I could remember but I won't.
Wish I could remember but I won't.
OMG! Most epic riddle ever ! Anyways, I loved this riddle! Going on my FAVS!
GWeb - if ya dont like it, go complain to somebody else because THERE ARE PEOPLE WO LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS THAN YOU, If you dont want a 'stupid middle school joke' than dont read it.
This is a very good riddle, but completely unoriginal. Totally plagiarized.
Funny, but I have seen it before.
silly, but cute...nice to see something a little different
I thought teasers had to be original or attributed to the source.
There have been a few minor alterations to this version from others I've seen, but it is the same "teaser".
Also, another poster was correct, it should specify there is no bridge. Otherwise why swim?

Still funny as all get-out. Loved it then, love it now. Thanks for a good laugh.
It may be old, but still funny!
On another site, where the zebra was replaced by a giraffe, a user stated:
"I scored 0/4.
"I admire you Americans with your Elephant sized fridges, your overly hot giraffes, obedient crocodiles and your Lions with organizational skills.
"How did the Lion score BTW?"
I also disagree with those saying it's just a joke. The same site says the first is to test your ability to make simple solutions, the second is to test your ability to think things through, the third tests your memory, and the fourth sees if you can learn from your mistakes.

Funny, but odd. If my fridge holds an elephant, why would I need to take the elephant out to stuff in a zebra? There should be plenty of room. Still, it's a fun and silly puzzle.
Not a Teaser, just a silly joke!
Would have helped to know that the questions were linked anyway( no mention in the puzzle body )!
For number 3, I chose: the lioness( reason - pride ).
For number 4, I chose: the bridge crossing.
I think Braingle needs a new Joke classification; any more stupid jokes in the guise of teasers, and that's the last for me!
