You can tell a lot about a person by their sense of humor. If it’s kind of morbid, for example, they might have a (not so) secret emo side. If they exclusively laugh at ridiculous, absurdist memes, they’re probably an aging zoomer with terminal internet brain rot. There are almost as many ways to be funny as there are words in the English language, but one that unites almost everyone in its unique terribleness is dad humor. No one quite knows what it is about fatherhood that turns a man into the corniest person on the planet, but time and again the phenomenon happens. These groanworthy punchlines aren’t just limited to dads, though. Anyone with enough clichéd wit and a love for wordplay can deploy a skilful dad joke, and boy, are there a lot of them out there. This list of wisecracks is a masterclass in how to release your inner dad. Try not to roll your eyes too hard.
