Dad's Army Puns

Dad: No I got shot in the leggy.

His psychiatrist calls it general anxiety.

I asked "Did you tell your... CO?"

He didn't get it.

I was looking at one of the damaged soldiers, which had only one hand. I said to my dad 'Look, he's 'armless'. My dad, without hesitation, pointed to a group of soldiers which were complete only up to the neck and he said 'those ones just laughed their heads off at that joke'

Me: "Apparently the Navy quarterback broke the single season rushing touchdown record for a QB." Dad: "Funny, I thought the army was supposed to be better on the ground." He was far too proud of himself.

Jay-Z's son is playing a fighter and is engaged in a grueling fight with a troll. The troll is clearly too high a difficulty for the fighter.

"Dad," Jay-Z's son exclaims in frustration. "The troll is destroying me!" Just at that moment, from behind a nearby hill appears an army of goblins led by what appears to be an intoxicated lich.

Jay-Z looks at his son and replies with a smirk, "If you're having troll problems, I feel bad for you, son. I've got 99 goblins and a lich on rum."

Dad: "So, where are you from?"

Mom: "I'm from Maine."

Dad: "I'm from Maine, too!"

Mom: "No way! Which part?"

Dad: "Main part of Texas."

She always jokes that she should have walked away at that moment. :-)

Dad: acting confused No, it's the Navy. Why on earth would they like the army better?

So a little backstory, my parents take the dog for a walk every night. My mom is in college (lol napoleon dynamite) and she takes a marine biology class.

So they were on one of those walks last night, and they were talking about ants. My mom's question was whether or not ants sleep. My dad replies saying, "Why are you asking me? You're the one in a biology class." To which she replied, "I'm in a marine biology class, I don't think there are any marine ants."

Without skipping a beat, my dad came up with the most incredible response...

"Why can't there be marine ants? We already have army ants."

Now I know where my dad got it from

Mainwaring: Um. No.

Mainwaring: Um. Yes. Listen everybody. Frazer's going to tell us the story about the old empty barn.

Frazer: Right. The story of the old empty barn. Well. There was nothing in it.

A dad joke stolen from Dads Army.

As my dad is looking through the pantry... "We got enough chips to sink an army!"

Hey jahfyah, do you know where Putin keeps his armys? ...

No dad

...

...

...

Up his sleeveys!

Watching war movies with my Dad, especially war movies can be a drag sometimes.

For example:

Guy on TV - FIRE AT WILL! Dad - Which one is Will?

Or

If there is supposed to be a large rally or army and there are only a few people there, he will say

"There are literally dozens of them!"

And every time he chuckles to his own jokes.

Over-confident teenage son (me): You and what army?

Dad: My left army and my right army.

Miss you ol' man.

EDIT: Formatting.

Dad: "Where does a General keep his Armies?"

Child/Teen/Adult me for the sake of the joke: "Where?"

Dad: "Up his Sleevies"

Admittedly for the first 3-4 years I heard this as a child I didn't get it at all but still rolled around laughing at how much my dad would laugh despite it's inherent oldness as a joke.

Dad : What do you call an opossum wearing armor?

Me : I don't know, what?

Dad : An Armadillo. What do you call a large group of Armadillo?

Me : I don't know, a large group of armadillo?

Dad : No... ARMY-dillo!

No son. I got shot in the leggy

I replied, "No, but I was shot in the leggy."

No son, I was shot in the leggy.

No son, I actually got shot in the leggy.

He responded with “No I was shot in the leggy”

Dad: No I got shot in the leggy.

"No son, I was shot in the foot."

Dad: no. I got shot in the leggy

Son: Daddy, did you get shot in the army?

Dad: No, son, I got shot in the leggy!

No son. I only got shot in the leggy.

I asked my Dad if he got shot in the Army.

He said no, he got shot in the leggy.

son: dad, did you ever get shot in the army?

dad: no son, I got shot in the leggy.

Son: "Hey dad"

Dad: "Hey son"

Son: "Were you ever shot in the army?"

The dad gets tears in his eyes, as he looks up remembering the distant past. He turns to his son with a solemn face.

Dad: "No, but I was shot in the leggy"
