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.

    Dad jokes are now kind of a humor genre with a life of its own. They’re usually blunt, painfully (un)funny, and often cringe-inducing. So it’s totally fine if you don’t get one. I don’t get one either.

    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.”

    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.

    I wonder, why should anybody knock on your door at 3 AM while you're playing drums? Stupid people!

    If you're on the toilet, send her a snap of the back of the shampoo bottle.

    I gave a blind man a cheese grater for his birthday. He said it was the worst book he’s ever read...

    Women never find the humor in tripping over athletic supporters and hearing "Ahh honey, don't be mad. I was just jocking around. You need to lighten up." It's a scientific fact that some women's undergarments have the capability to launch a rocket into space. That's why they had to include a warning about never removing undergarment with 10 feet of pets and small children the need to wear protective eye gear. And you thought Fluffy ran away with the yappy little dog next door.

    I had a friend who used to love tractors. Not so much these days. He's an ex-tractor fan.

    But, at least they saved the good stuff, otherwise we would only be left with toast.
