Let’s admit it — we all love dad jokes. It’s okay, you can go ahead and say it, I’ll keep your secret safe. We often assume that dad humor solely consists of corny jokes and puns, but in reality, fathers frequently say really funny and witty things that make us genuinely laugh. Also, even the corniest of jokes can be quite enjoyable, and you know it. 

Some fathers who really can’t imagine their life without humor took it to Twitter, turning dad humor into a whole category of Twitter jokes. These men may be from different parts of the world, work in different professions, and have different views on life, but one thing that unites them all apart from being fathers is that they have some really funny dad jokes up their sleeve. In fact, there are so many of them, they could even start a competition for the best dad jokes of the day. 

For this article, we collected some of the best dad jokes you can find on Twitter. Share them with your friends regardless of their parental status to have a good laugh. Do you know other Twitter dad jokes? We are eager to see them in our comment section.

    22 years ago, on the birth of our first son, the midwife said to my wife, "Don't be squeezing his (me) hand so tight. - You'll hurt him." I have cursed that midwife since then. Equating a sore hand to giving birth has caused me pain for 22 years. I couldn't believe it when she said it. Even my wife stopped srceaming, then turned to give me a look I will never forget.

    My mid-kid talks a LOT! And she knows. She sometimes pause mid-sentence to tell me "mom, I talk a lot", I agree, she continues whatever it was she was saying. She is silent when she sleeps, 40% of the time she watches TV, and she often forgets to eat because she has so much to tell us. Lol. She can't be silent for just 1 monute (we tried to time her silence several times). And I fear that the youngest will talk as much as mid-kid when she finally starts to say real words. :) not that all mid-kid's words are real. Also, her imaginary cousin has a WILD life, if I am to judge by all the crazy stories mid-kid tells me about him. For starters: his name is Smelly-door because he likes to smell doors and his own door has a very nice smell.

    I tried to "teach myself" that! I was homeschooled for 8th grade XD I remember I worked on schoolwork for 8-9 hours a day to get through everything faster, and I finished the entire required 8th grade curriculum in 5 months, thus (by my logic) giving myself 7 months of summer. Unfortunately, my father was cleverer than I was, and simply started me on the high school curriculum as soon as I "graduated" 8th grade XD

    I've always found this baffling. Small children don't know how to "be careful" that's why they aren't. They need something a bit more specific like "this is how to pick up the puppy so you won't squeeze it" or "take this heavy drink with two hands" - you don't get guaranteed perfection or anything, but it's way more useful than a generic "careful"

    I swear teenagers are abducted by aliens and replaced with machines designed to test a parent's sanity. Eventually, they are allowed to return home, changed but bearable.

    That's not revenge. Wait till she moves into her first home, then visit - clear her fridge of food, put your feet up on the sofa and watch one hour of the teletubbies. Make a mess in the bedrooms and have a tantrum when she complains. That's revenge.

    "The book “G” is for Growing" cites a producer of Sesame Street who refers to Big Bird as a canary. In the series 11 episode, "Mister Rogers Talks about Competition" of the show, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Big Bird was asked by King Friday XIII if he was related to the cassowary; he replied, "I'm actually a Golden Condor." On the January 23, 1976 episode of Hollywood Squares, Big Bird was asked what kind of bird he is and said he was a lark, causing host Peter Marshall to crack up. In the film Don't Eat the Pictures, Osiris calls Big Bird an ibis. Zoologist Mike Dickison suggested in his popular Pechakucha talk that Big Bird represents a unique species that evolved from the whooping crane. For decades, Oscar the Grouch has been calling Big Bird a turkey, more as an insult rather than a reference to his species. Big Bird is always described as being flightless."

    I have a packet of drawings from my preschool years wherein I apparently wished to become a "melon seller" when I grew up, whatever that entailed to my toddler brain. I had many illustrations of a crude humanoid figure (presumably myself) holding up vaguely-circular green blobs (presumably melons). I am 41 now. I did not become a melon seller. Perhaps this is why I am so unhappy with life XD

    My son ate what was made for dinner until I got tired of always fixing the wrong thing, and told him he was in charge of his own meal planning. He had to put what he wanted/needed on the list, and I brought that deli fried chicken, frozen pizzas and taquitos home knowing at least he was eating and not complaining.

    Why is it that the food they wouldn't eat as a toddlers but as teenagers vanishes minutes after it is stored?

    Because we made them “try at least one bite” and somehow the taste stuck with them?

    I took my family on a family trip to London years ago. You can buy straps to tie around children so they can't run away. Was embarrassing, yet funny, when on the tube (subway) and walking around, they kept woof woofing at everybody passing us.

    My son had a harness and leash, because otherwise he’d climb out of the basket on his own. (he’d figured out the buckles) The only rule I had was no touching anything that was not in our cart.

    Known colloquially in the UK as "Idiot Mittens".

    The official Paw Patrol page confirms this XD which basically means she's a mutt as Cockapoos are mixed breeds XD

    Paw Patrol? Oh for those days. My youngest is now 16. This past week it was all about getting the driver's learner licence, buying an expensive new backpack that can hold an 18" laptop because he "might" get one, being told that current laptop's screen has black patches (damn just replace - hence he "might" get an 18 incher) he hates school and wants to drop out, got fined for catching an undersized fish (he knows the limit), lost his camera charger ... the list is extensive. I'd happily go back to Paw Patrol days. (Well, it was Wonder Pets then)

    Myself and my wife fought more after our second kid. We could have a 3am converstion, (loudly) using only three words. 'IT'S YOUR TURN.'

    I've been teaching my little (23) sister to drive. She has been doing really well for the most part, but last Sunday night she was dreadful- both tired and her ADHD meds had worn off!

    Many of the bowling alleys have digital versions of this. Even more annoying, as the sound is barely audible, but you get the video clips playing distractingly between the lanes!
