It doesn’t take a dad to tell a good dad joke. Sure, any given father has a base selection of pun-laden dad jokes to employ as needed, but cheesy wordplay is for everyone! Even if it’s groanworthy, who doesn’t like a dad joke?

My father was chock full of weirdly complex dad jokes. Sure, I understood them as I grew up and gained a better understanding of language, but my six-year-old self had trouble comprehending a lot of the puns. At the time, it just seemed like my dad would just say outlandish things and then laugh to himself. It was definitely his attempt to connect with me, but he could have just taught me to ride a bike or something.

Even if you don’t connect with dad jokes as a young kid, you can surely see why people love these things so much, right? They’re inoffensive, somewhat cutesy, and definitely cheesy. They’re not bad jokes, they’re just groan-worthy. We’ve gone ahead and collected a selection of dad-joke-themed memes for the pun-lovers and wordplay aficionados out there. Check them out!
