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.

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."

    Having been a police officer that is the worst thing you can tell your child. If something awful happened you have reinforced their fear of going to a police officer they might see, they won't speak up.

    I think tone makes all the difference here. This kind of joke never made me fear the police, but I have heard parents telling misbehaving children they'll "get a policeman to come and take them away" in a threatening tone. This might really cause fear and distrust of the police, but I don't think we need to worry about the dad jokes :)

    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."

    My parents do this, and feel personally offended if the gas price is higher (which it always is where I live), it's beyond annoying. Also, they happily drive to the other end of the city if there's a gas station with 3 cent cheaper gas.

    My grandma used to do that. She would also drive 15 miles out of the way to save 5 cents on a can of tuna. And then she would lecture me about not wasting money on sanitary pads.

    Just found out: how you play is one person (most likely the dad) throws an entire deck of cards on the floor, and the other player (most likely the child) must pick the cards up. It’s normally played as a prank 🤣

    We say this in New Zealand even though they are rare in NZ. Occassionally someone accidentally brings them in from overseas but they seem to sort them out pretty quick.
