Dad jokes are short, silly jokes that fathers use to make their kids laugh. Or, at least, they try to.
Despite our dads’ best intentions, these funny one-liners often result in a hard facepalm and eyes rolling. Instead, if your sense of humor is broken like mine, you’ll find them utterly hilarious, to the point that I also use them despite me being female, in my 20s, and definitely not a dad.
Dad jokes were once considered a bad thing, but millions now celebrate them. They’re a staple of social media and have even been studied by academics.
While the exact origin of the term dad joke is unknown, a writer for the Gettysburg Times quoted it in June 1987 under the headline, “Don’t ban the ‘Dad’ jokes; preserve and revere them.”
What we know for sure is that good dad jokes usually involve puns and lame wordplay but can also include references from pop culture, like movies or TV shows, that few people under 30 would be able to understand.
If you’re looking for some help to expand your repertoire of funny dad jokes, this article is made for you. Enjoy the best dad jokes, and have fun driving your kids up the wall!
