Bad puns and one big 360° eye roll are signs you’ve encountered a dad joke.

But the point is, unlike our dads, they never get old.

Sometimes thats how I actually start a conversation with my husband... keep the spark alive lol
You have to start the conversation just like that. You never know when his hearing aid just ran out of battery and you are about to give the speech of your life. Epic!
They're still the Virgin Islands, and just as far from the Isle of Man as ever...
Speaking of which, I have been to the British Virgin Islands twice as of this writing.
Do they still call themselves Cruzans? I made the mistake of calling them Virgins.

Surprisingly, they’re not a new thing, although their absurdity level definitely speaks to the 21st-century millennial generation. However, the term “dad joke” first emerged in 1987 when Jim Kalbaugh, a columnist with the Gettysburg Times, wrote: “As we approach Father’s Day, I would like to propose that ‘Dad’ Jokes not be banned. They should be revered, preserved.”
Well, actually it's because is not updated yet......let's wait for the Covid-20

I can think of a number of THINGS that would make a better president....
Even at this point in time, Steve Jobs would still make a better president...
At the same time, there’s something about them that kinda works. You see, dad jokes are usually as neutral as they can be, since there is no social commentary, no political material, and no agenda. It doesn’t require great skill in catching a joke, doesn’t provoke much thought, and generally doesn’t carry some hidden meta meanings that need to be detected in order to get one.
With so much humor these days leveling on the inappropriate, it’s kinda refreshing to see something adults, kids, and everyone from any social and cultural background can easily relate to. On the other hand, if there’s no sense of transgression, and dad jokes are playing on the safe side, then they sooner or later get repetitive and kind of weary.
Sorry Kimora, I wasn't being patronising. I obviously misunderstood your comment and I just wanted to be helpful. Thank you for your response and explanation. Yours s.

Not funny..neighbors that act like tha should move to an island alone!
You're free to take your own advice. The alternative is accepting that you share space with other people and their many differing habits and lifestyles and finding compromise, or being forever sour.

Load More Replies...Must be one of those guys that I've heard about that actually caught a fish. Why else would he go so often ?.
Load More Replies...Teach a man to fish and he'll spend every weekend for the rest of his life sitting out on the lake in his boat drinking beer and pretending to catch fish.
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and eventually you'll have oceans short of fish.
Depends on how many you teach. Fish reproduce ya know.

I once worked for a large Swedish furniture chain. For the 4 weeks before Christmas they would play the same 2.5 hour Christmas playlist. So the same songs 4 times a day for 4 weeks. Never changed it in the 5 years I worked there. Yes I hate Christmas songs.
Plot twist: Last Christmas wasn't even one of the songs.

Hot pursuit with 20 police cars, Pit-manoeuvre, 15 officers approach offenders car with drawn guns, offender tries to get out of burning car, so he gets shot 90 times because the officers were in fear of their life. Final investigation shows that officers did nothing wrong.

Load More Replies...Reminds me of the quote from a Shakespeare's play, “Let's kill all the lawyers.” It's funny on the surface level, but the context was that, the characters involved in that scene were planning to get rid of lawyers to build up an anarchic society.
You had to bring Shakespeare into a post about Dad jokes.

Heeeey, I made that exact joke in here several months ago lol
A church is were you get married, and when she shouted don't go in the chruch you moron, it sounded like something that would happen in a horror movie.
Load More Replies...Maybe I'm too young but those jokes really don't seem that funny. I somehow don't find the premise of people being married to somebody they don't like, amusing.
I don't think are too young. I'm 39, and that type of joke has been overdone for me for several years now. Maybe it's because I do have a good marriage. I find it difficult to relate.
Load More Replies...This really should have more upvotes!! And I thought that looking forward to 2021 meant I was demonstrating optimism (that all the horrible things myself and the rest of the world are enduring will be finished). My entire wish list is going to have to change.
I just wanted to see the other replies, and I was not disappointed.

Maybe she wanted you to be chronologically precise: Girlfriend, then ex-girlfriend then ex-fiancée?
I think it's kind of cute....and now I am his wife would be the response.
Hahahaaa! I think I'm gonna introduce my wife the same way in the future!!
Oh, yeah. They're good. I remember when they were starting out in Glendora, CA, and down the road from the college (was a librarian). After work, I'd go an buy fresh squeezes juices, cheap. Now they're part of an overpriced conglomerate.

Seriously though, any competent psychic should say "Come in, I've been expecting you."
Short people have easier lives because they are much more down to earth and can make better use of loopholes, though.
True, true. Coming from a really short person. Lol XD

That joke was really true. The person who made auto correct was a fumbling dime win.
This is so bad and am looking around hoping no one asks me what's so funny. I must be really tired.
You aren't alone. I too, LOLed at this super hard.

The subject here is “one.”

Usually these are quite funny but some of this lot are really scaping the bottom of the barrel.
This list will be trimmed down to 100 or so. I notice they edit lists because I'll often get a notification about a comment I made only to find the picture I commented on missing. I don't know why they don't simply do a better job editing the lists in the first place, it's annoying when whole conversations are erased.
If you comment on something that is no longer "there" go to the bottom of the page and it says "this post was originally x number of posts and it has been shortened. If you want to see them all, go here."
Load More Replies...Most of what I read was funny. Not funny enough to scroll through all 166 of them though. I'll come back for the short version.
If 'bi' is an option as in bisexual, doesn't that imply there really are only 2 sexes?
