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.
BIG BINGO REVIEW THREAD!
This was my first year doing bingo and to my surprise i went on a lot of hard modes, almost by accident. You're not here to hear about me so here goes! I'll do my best to keep spoilers to a minimum.
Five Short Stories: Seasoned Magic
I'll be honest I tried this one because it had one of my other authors in it. It turned out to be kind of 'meh.' I'm 35 and I just think the age group for this book is 50+. a lot of older references and humor that I either didn't get or found too cheesy to laugh at. A few of the stories were interesting and one of them had a protagonist I may look into later but over all--meh.
Set in Asia: Empress of Salt and Fortune
What a gorgeous slice of story. This was a quickly unfolding startling and pleasurable bit of Dynastic China. There was a bit of unexplained mystery, just enough to keep you wondering. This is one of those where you really just have to hop in without knowing what's going to happen.
A-Z Genre Guide: Leviathan
I lingered on reading this one. It was one of the first i put on my bingo list and i did it purely by name alone. I finally dove in and am SO glad i did. A lot of the books i read are hybrid audible and kindle--I have to say please at least take a look at the kindle version, and take a listen to the audible. The narrator does a fantastic job switching accents and voices with ease, and the kindle version (and I'm assuming the paper) have lovely illustrations which help set the scene. Over all this is a unique, fantastic look at what WW1 would look like in a steampunk/pernese (think McCaffrey!) world. Skywhales, Zeppelins, 8-legged Tanks! A lovely bit of adventure.
Found Family: A House on the Cerulean Sea
Ok. Well. This was a very sweet story. It felt derivative of a few other works but not in a way that detracted from it's own telling. It's not magnificent and some things remain entirely unexplained but it was very sweetly done. Did i mention sweet? Like a treacle tart.
First person POV: Shadow and Bone
Ok so this is like Seasoned magic but in reverse. I am a bit too old to enjoy this series. The author did an admirable job telling the tale she told, but it didn't help that i was coming off of Winter of the Witch which is a PHENOMENAL Russian story (review of THAT below). This was an adequate Russian story. And a lot was weird and contrived. There were a few characters that seemed to be there just to be weird and creepy and didn't advance the
... keep reading on reddit ➡Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
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!
And now I’m cannelloni

But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Nothing, he was gladiator.
