You’d think that parent humor is all about dad jokes and outdated references that are only there for the specific purpose of making you look bad in front of your cool friends. Well, there’s much more than that.
There are genuinely funny parents out there—even the ones with all the literal puns—and the internet has become a bit of a channel for them to surface. We’ve scoped out the best of the best of them to compile this neat little (not really) listicle for your entertainment to prove just how hilarious moms and dads can actually be.

My Parents Sent Me This From Their Retirement Community Today
Kelly Scott 2 years ago (edited)
Oh, I'd be careful if I was being pulled on that wheeled walker. They tend to take a sharp turn after a couple of feet of no-hands steering. I know because - cough, cough - I tried to go down a hill backwards (as this lady is doing) on mine and halfway down the hill, my wheels took a sharp left, hit the dirt on the side of the road, turned over and threw me off. Too bad, too, because it was fun while it lasted. My next attempt will be to get into an electric cart at the grocery store, start down an aisle as fast as I can, and stand up while holding my arms out. I have to perfect this first, because I'm sure I'll only be allowed to do this once.

My Dad played "I'm a sleepy crocodile" when we were kids. It involved him lying on the floor, "pretending to be a sleeping crocodile" and us kids playing quietly around him so as not to wake the crocodile. If anyone bumped him or got loud enough, the crocodile would "wake up", and chase us. The first child caught in each round was "dead", and had to play dead for the rest of the game. In retrospect, it was probrably invented an excuse to close his eyes for five minutes.

I must have got this wrong, then; my grandchildren have a game where they claim to have seen my eyes close and they chorus "wake up grandpa". I'm cautious about even blinking now ...

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. The so-called dad jokes get a bad rep online, and it’s understandable. We won’t argue that they are notoriously corny, cheesy, and fit the bill of a wisecrack on steroids. It doesn’t help that these are often the reason why kids avoid parents when they’re with their friends out and about in the wild. But what if I told you it’s not a bad thing?

My Mom Makes Pottery Masks As A Hobby, And My Dad Is Going Quarantine Crazy. This Is The Result
Thomas Schwarting 1 year ago
I remember as a kid (in the late 60's early 70's) seeing the cars grills and thinking the same thing!
Turns out, there are studies that prove corny parent jokes, all while being full of potential to embarrass, can teach kids to overcome awkward moments when they become adults themselves.
Kids benefit greatly from parents who role play at home or otherwise offer tools for socializing to their kids by putting them into situations where they can practice their newly acquired means of socializing.

If anything—a bit of a devious approach, but one that definitely will show that you love and care for your dad—turn those jokes back at them on Father’s day. Heck, or any other day! Humor doesn’t discriminate chronologically. And sure, you might not embarrass your dad the same way he can embarrass you, but they’ll definitely pick up on the corn and appreciate it all the more.

My Mom Keeps Getting Homeowner Association's Letters About Leaves In Her Yard. This Is Her Response
"Roses are red
Leaves they fall

How about ya'll?
My leaves are bagged!

Yet I keep getting letters
From some chump.
This poor fellow
Must need employment,
Or he's sick in the head
Harassing brings him enjoyment.
If that is the case,
Then he has my pity.
Perhaps he should move
To a far-off city.
Or better still
Go to outer space
Sending his letters
All over the place!

Shall be completely leaf-free!"

Laughter is good all around. In their younger years, kids benefit from humor in terms of intelligence, general health and coping with life’s challenges. If anything, it allows them to connect with their parents and that’s always nice.
And depending on their age, different kinds of humor tickle their funny bone: tickles and raspberries for infants, physical humor for toddlers, incongruity and bathroom humor with preschoolers and basic wordplay, exaggerations and slapstick for school-age kids. Most importantly, it has to be unexpected. That’s the key to humor in general.

Dad Bought Mom A New Mask
Jackson 2 years ago
During Covid, a company in Toronto made masks printed to match people's faces. A customer would email them a picture and they would print masks with that face. Sometimes, when a couple were rushed in the morning, they accidentally grabbed each other's masks. Since they did not always travel together, it was impossible to switch after they separated. Because of the mask mandate, they had to wear their spouse's mask for the day.

Humor and laughter in the years following childhood and adolescence is just as important as it was before. There’s evidence that laughter boosts the immune system, lowers stress and decreases pain, gives a more positive look on life and improves mood, strengthens psychological resilience, helps with social matters and empowers bonding (personal, corporate, etc.), among many other things. After all, it’s better to hang around someone who’s genuinely funny rather than a complete buzzkill.

Because of last minute problems, he did not know if the family would move to Belgium or the US west coast, only that the job would start in 6 weeks. I had a summer job with the railroad. A beaver dam broke and took out the rail lines. I was a week late getting home. My parent's house sold, but the buyer needed immediate possession. I got home to an empty house. I had no idea where my family, my clothing, or the furniture I was keeping for my new apartment were. Not having slept for over 48 hours and not much sleep for several days before that did not help.

Next, what you want to do is play with your numbers. Exaggerate them, say it’s nothing or tiny, but you still end up revealing an extremely contradicting number (like saying you’ve played a game a bit, but your record shows 1,600 hours in).
Another way of approaching it is to hype up (or the opposite) something that is absolutely not what it is and then deliver the real answer for comedic effect. You know, “what do I win?” – “oh, you won some badges… um, a blue ribbon… 10 million dollars…” Now extend across several minutes.

Someone Stole My Mom's Zucchini From The Community Garden

How can something be in a community garden be private? I don't say it is okay to just steal things. I just don't get the concept. Over here a community garden is for the community. The community plants and maintains those gardens and people can use whatever they need (whitin' reasonable amounts - like share equally). Is it then that everyone has their own patch of land or so ?
TiNaBoNiNa 2 years ago
Generally, in the US, a community garden is run by a garden club or a similar group. You have to pay a fee to use a plot of ground or raised bed to grow things. It's usually used by people who don't have any room to have a garden of their own.

There’s also tactics like using the rule of three, with the last one being an unexpected, unrelated piece of nonsense to deliver your point home; switching characters whereby if someone is trying to pin something comedic on you, you can casually retarget it to the next person; or surprise folks with an unexpected “whatever” if stuff gets ugly.
But do keep in mind that real life stories are always better than jokes, so if you have those, whip them out!

Disney invented a nightclub-centric hangout area where people would literally dance in the streets. Pleasure Island provided vacation escapism for singles, couples, and parents alike and for many, this place provided memories that would last a lifetime. They could take their kids to Disney and STILL have a great time at night. Pleasure Island represented the best of both worlds and provided the baseline for the Disney Springs entertainment we have today."

"Either eat vegetables only or get real" what does this even mean? Tofu is not some strange new lab grown food. People have been eatting mashed beans for a long time..and we are not carnivores. We are omnivores, do I need to remind you to eat your vegetables? I'm not vegan. But the more we realize our diets are closer to a rat, the opportunistic type. The quicker we can adapt to our changing planet.

How about being a present father involved in raising her to have a good sense of self, good judgement and then support her choices? And stop it with the “wink wink” from one man to another about women as chaos or a performative animal. I’m sorry, but if you find the humor in this hackneyed misogynistic cliche, grow a f*****g brain & reevaluate what makes you chuckle. Cos this mug represents some tired āss least common denominator BS. It’s people who buy into this level of stupidity that we need warning labels on ladders.

A lawyer friend’s dad made this tired joke. He countered with a detailed list of legal precedents of damages for all sorts of minor neglects & issues that adult parties have won. Then he itemized (inflated; manufactured) emotional trauma & physical injuries like cuts & scrapes. He hypothesized had his dad been fully parenting he’d have been given the tools & access to become more successful than an associate attorney at a lifetime financial loss of millions. He rounded it off asking for compensation & punitive damages for genital mutilation (circumcision) done to him without his consent and other “failures” with intent and pretend countered for $275,000,000.00. Ya, his dad never made a “you owe me” joke again.

Favorite Mom Hack. Hide The Tiny Annoying Toys In The Diaper Pail And Toss Them Out Unnoticed. You're Welcome
Gardener of Weeden 2 years ago
Bad enough the garbage we produce with plastic diapers being put in plastic bags. But those toys are still 100% usable and probably wanted by some child who has nothing. And id your child has so many toys they would not notice you throwing out some - cut back on what you give them - they will appreciate it more. Just shows the more consumerism = waste
ॐBoyGanesh 2 years ago (edited)
I don’t get it. I’ve a 9yo. I can’t think of any toys I’ve ever let him pick out or have that I would need to covertly take away from him. Honestly, I can’t think of any tiny little toy that he has ever had that has annoyed me to the point that I’d want him to miss it. is this a common thing for kids to be given really annoying toys that you can just throw away without them noticing or missing? I would’ve never even considered that, because I feel like if I did something like that, I’d be teaching him to hide things think I wouldn’t want him to have . Maybe I just parent weird.
