«Doctor, please hurry. My son swallowed a razor blade.»
«Don’t panic, I’m coming immediately. Have you done anything yet?»
«Yeah, I shaved with the electric razor.»
«Doctor, doctor, will I be able to play the violin after the operation?»

These jokes are funny because they use unexpected meanings and wordplay.
“Doctor, please hurry. My son swallowed a razor blade.”
“Don’t panic, I’m coming immediately. Have you done anything yet?”
“Yeah, I shaved with the electric razor.”
This is funny because the father means the son swallowed a razor blade, but then it turns out he only used an electric razor to shave.
“Doctor, doctor, will I be able to play the violin after the operation?”
“Yes, of course…”
“Great! I never could before!”
This is funny because the patient asks about something he cannot do now, and the doctor’s answer sounds serious, but the last sentence changes the meaning and makes it unexpected.
So, yes, these jokes are funny because the ending is surprising and the meaning is not what you expect.
