Do you know what the best thing about becoming a father is? I'm getting the dad joke pass.
It doesn't matter if you have a baby on the way and need to learn some quickly or simply roll your eyes; there’s a lame joke for every father, and the crew at The Dad knows it.
They have been tweeting all of the popular dad sayings, perfectly describing all of our fathers along the way.

Universal Dad Saying
Christophe Ferreira 6 years ago
And the office version where you leave for the day and come back to pick up something you forgot: "good morning! The night went so fast!"
"Kids are the ultimate tweet fodder and that's a universal truth," Joel Willis, the Executive Editor for The Dad, told Bored Panda. "I keep a notepad on my phone and write down the crazy things they say or the hundreds of situations every day that make me say WTF."
"For the 'Dads love' series, I just think about the classic silly jokes we all cringe at when dads say them, but ultimately we find ourselves saying once we become the funny dads ourselves. There's a massive wealth of material there."
However, he isn't the only one working on them. The Dad team has talented creators located all over the place, from NYC to Australia, and they contribute as well. "The team has dozens more of these already written that we'll tweet over time. The world can't handle that much of the best dad jokes all at once. But you haven't seen the end of this series."
But 'Dads love' isn't the only thing they're creating. "I'm most proud of the huge range the brand has. We'll do a ridiculous olive oil prank and follow that with authentic stories about fatherhood. We'll create a viral video called AphukenbrakE and also give $500 each month to dads doing great things."

The One About Police Sirens
Reggie Kraken 6 years ago
Or by grabbing your collar and shouting "He's Here! Ive got him!" "Get off Dad I'm 28"
Joel himself has two kids. "My daughter is 9 and my son is 7. They are the best. Non-stop laughs (except when they're whining) and an endless source of meme fodder," he said. "For real, they are so much smarter, funnier, and generally more well-balanced than I will ever be."
"A good dad does the best he can to improve things for his kids, his family, and the community. A good dad makes mistakes, because we all do. Eventually kids grow up and realize that their dad wasn't a superhero after all, but rather a flawed individual trying his best like everyone else. A good dad is someone whose family still looks up to him despite that."

I hated it when people said this when I was a cashier. I usually responded with "nope. I have another way to enter the barcode!"

Dad jokes are so bad they're good. My father knew that and told us those jokes all the time.

I'm a dad and I say almost none of these. Maybe it's what our dads say as opposed to what new dads say. I am a fairly new dad, so maybe it hasn't kicked in yet. Should probably give it some time... like that time I bought some shoes from a drug dealer. I don't know what he laced them with, but I was tripping all day.

What about the one where they'll go "What?" after you make a hearing loss comment?

I wear a hearing aid and have trouble hearing in some environments - I can tell you this joke never gets old with some people.

Dads (Men) will always say “Well, that’s not going anywhere” after securing any kind of load to a vehicle.
Mewton’s Third Paw 6 years ago
If I ever tell my dad that I’m “just chilling,” he ALWAYS says “don’t freeze!” Lol
Reggie Kraken 6 years ago
My dad routinely says "I'm not telling you what to do, but..." before telling me what to do. He also asks me if I've seen Stranger Things (or any other program) at least 800 times per week, regardless of my answer.

My dad's old toaster on wheels (a van that was basically shaped like... well, you get the idea) had some kind of defect where you could actually take the keys out of the ignition and shut the engine off while driving. His favorite gag was to wait until we were within a safe coasting distance from our parking space, and then pull the keys out and hand it to either me or my sister (whichever of us happened to be riding shotgun). "Here, hold these."
Carol Emory 6 years ago
For my dad it was every time he burped "Did you hear that bear?" Anytime he farted "There's those barking spiders again." And anytime we got in the car for a road trip we were "Off like a dirty shirt" or "Off like a herd of turtles...."

Dads love to say "now go straight home and don't get into any trouble on the way" when the neighbours have been over and are leaving. Or is that just my dad?
Paul Mitchell 6 years ago
I guess it's because you go to work to pay the bills and everyone be else at home thinks money falls from sky. It's a gentle way of reminding them of what many many men do for their loved ones.

My dad used to say "You are not made of glass" when someone was standing in front of TV. 😊
Marnee DeRider 6 years ago
There is no universal saying. "Common" would have been more accurate.
Laura White 6 years ago
Actually, mom's day these too. It all depends what generations you are in and what the sayings at the time were. In 30 years I doubt you'll be hearing "I know, right?"
Harleen 6 years ago
Missed the top ones: "I'm hungry" - "Hi hungry, I'm dad!"....... * kid runs into something* Dad: Go around it, not through it.............. "Dad, could you make me a sandwich?" - *waves invisible wand* "POOF, you're a sandwich!"......... "Well..." - "That's a deep subject!"

*doctor voice* You seem to have Young Girl Dad-itis, a rare condition that causes young girls and not dads to tell Dad Jokes. While it isn't curable, it does not do any harm to the victim.

I'm kinda embarrassed by how many of these I've used. I'd quit but my kids would think I'd been taken over by some kind of alien mind meld.

I mean, my dad says a few of these things SOMETIMES, but way more often when I was a literal child and not now when my brother and I are in our twenties.

if we ask my dad where hes going if he gets in the car, he almost always says "to the moon"

This is the worst posting ever by BP. This is based on immigrants who translated jokes from back home and mysoginistic ideologies. Before posting such garbage, do your research. This wasn't funny. Rather lame and just click bait and effortless. If your dad did all this, means he was passive aggressive and belittled your mother.... Just saying.
