I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Another few characters introduced: Sofya Ivanovna - Fyodor Ivanovich's second wife Ivan Fyodorovich Karmazov (Vanya, Vanechka), elder son by second marriage Aleksei Fyodorovich Karmazov (Alyosha, Alyoshenka, Alyoshka, Alyoshechka, Lyoshechka), younger son by second marriage

Another reminder - please don't discuss events that happen beyond this chapter. Feel free to speculate wildly and hypothesise as to what you think might happen; but for those of us reading through for the first time, if you've read the book before, please keep it to just the chapters so far.

Discussion Prompts:

1. Fyodor Pavlovich remarries. What did you think about how he convinced Sofya (your version might have Sofia) to elope with him?
2. Were you surprised that Fyodor has continued to build his fortune, despite his drunken and debauched ways?
3. Another two sons, another wife's death, the son's being taken in by others. The cycle continues.
4. Parallels between Ivan and Mitya? One is military, one is a brilliant student, but both have ended back in the proximity of their father. How do you think it will go?
5. Is there anything else you’d like to discuss from this chapter?

Bonus! TheHemingwaylist read TBK a few years ago. Their Chapter 3 discussion was here.

> Yet I must give some preliminary account of him, if only to explain one queer fact, which is that I have to introduce my hero to the reader wearing the cassock of a novice. Yes, he had been for the last year in our monastery, and seemed willing to be cloistered there for the rest of his life.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!
