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.
Over the course of 2020, my podcast co-hosts and I watched and reviewed all 168 domestic wide releases from 1980 on their 40th anniversaries. If anything appears to be missing, (Superman 2, Watcher in the Woods) it probably didn’t release wide in the U.S. until 1981. What follows is my personal ranking for the year and a bite-size summary of each film. Links to longer reviews are available in the comments.
#168 - Falling In Love Again
You wouldn't think that a script about a mid-life crisis written by an 18-year-old would be any good, and you'd be right.
#167 - Home Movies
Brian De Palma taught a film class and invited his students to write and produce a feature film. De Palma directed and called in favors from Kirk Douglas, Keith Gordon, and his then-wife Nancy Allen to star.
#166 - Loose Shoes
A collection of very low-budget comedy sketches from SNL alumni and adjacents. Mostly famous for an early appearance from Bill Murray.
#165 - Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown
Charlie Brown and friends head overseas, unsupervised, as foreign exchange students and uncover long lost details of Charlie's family history. Poorly animated, even for a Peanuts movie, and the last nail in the coffin for traditionally animated Peanuts films.
#164 - Running Scared
Two servicemen (Ken Wahl and Judge Reinhold) wrap up a tour of duty in Panama and stumble across plans for the Bay of Pigs invasion and are mistaken for foreign spies.
#163 - Middle Age Crazy
Wrongheaded mid-life crisis "comedy" starring Bruce Dern. A man worried about his age buys a luxury car and cheats on his wife to feel young again and we are expected to sympathize with him.
#162 - Nothing Personal
Romantic comedy that inexplicably features actual footage of baby seals being clubbed. It’s embarrassing box office performance prevented Suzanne Somers from doing a second movie for 14 years.
#161 - First Family
Buck Henry is usually a terrific comedy writer, and the cast of this film are inarguably the funniest working actors and actresses of the time, but this misfires hard.
#160 - Up the Academy
An 80s teen comedy so bad that Mad Magazine took their name off it. Rick Baker provides a stunningly accurate and equally disturbing Alfred E Newman makeup job that bookends the film.
#159 - Loving Couples
Insanely the first of two wife-swapping comedies on the year to star Shirley MacLaine. This one's worse. Stars James Coburn, Susan Sarandon, and Stephen Collins.
#158 - The Hearse
Second haunted house

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
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!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
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.
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.
You take away their little brooms

Just to clarify, 12345678
Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...
Notices there's only 2;
Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."
I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.
I was just sitting there doing nothing.
But nobody ever mentions his sister, Onya, who invented the starter pistol.
“BOOM”?!
When I got home, they were still there.
