I know the nun/soap one only cause I’ve heard it. I can’t say it pissed me off, but it sure did make me roll my eyes. I don’t get the architect one though.
Could someone explain both the nun and the architect ones?
Made = Maid.

Well, if it helps, the punchline (such as it is 
) should be “So they could both watch the game” (no “he could”).
Okay, now I get the architect one. Tacky, but kind of funny.

Ah, now that does help. Not especially funny though.

Perhaps it’s a play on where’s = wears (i.e. wears down the soap). If it is, it’s not very funny.
I’d like the apple/holocaust one explained.

Nope. Still don’t get it. Maybe I’m just a bit slow.

Like…him and his house could both watch the game??
Ugh. Stupid. So’s the soap one.

It riffs off of another joke:
Q:What’s worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm?
A:Finding half a worm.
The joke of the riff being that the Holocaust is much, much worse than wormy apples.

Think of a homonym for “made” that makes sense in context.
I still don’t get that one. “Where’s/wears” just doesn’t cut it.

I see. Given the thread title, I was looking for a pun in the joke. :dubious:

It’s a masturbation joke. Rubbing soap on your genitals, espcially in the presence of pubic hair, will wear the soap down.
Yeah, it’s juvenile and lame, and not in a good way.
Did you hear about the lady who backed into a propeller? Disaster.
I wonder if the inventor of the OP’s joke knew about the etymology of “newt”. It was originally called “Ewt”, but with an indefinite article became “An ewt”, which people transformed into “A newt,” which makes its inclusion in this type of joke all the more funny. To me that is.

Mindfield…this is equivalant to that hotel room coffee we were discussing in another thread. 
Enough to turn you off puns for a week.
But thank you for defining!

Dis-assed her. As in, removed her buttocks.

Unless that’s another subtle pun.

An architect had his house made backwards, so they could both watch the game.
Change it to:
Bob had his maid (in this case, his 'housemaid") backwards, so they could both watch the game.
definitions – “had” : screwed, banged, nailed, fuc*ed, etc.
Bob banged his miad backwards, so they could both watch the game.
Since many people I know have had sex in only two positions: Screwing from behind, aka ‘backwards’ allows you both to watch the same tv program.
Architect: role of this word is to make you picture a house being ‘made’, not someone having their maid doggy style.
Boy, these jokes rock when you have to explain them.
