I’m not indecisive. Unless you want me to be.

The only thing worse than having diarrhea is having to spell it.

I asked my friend to help me with a math problem. He said: “Don’t worry; this is a piece of cake.” I said: “No, it’s a math problem.”

I keep trying to lose weight, but it keeps finding me.

I don’t play soccer because I enjoy the sport. I’m just doing it for kicks.

Did I tell you the time I fell in love during a backflip? I was heels over head.

I used to work in a shoe recycling shop. It was sole destroying.

Why do you never see elephants hiding in trees?

Yesterday was my dad's birthday, and he turned 52. I called him to wish him a happy birthday, find out what he wanted to do for dinner, etc, all the stuff you do on someone's birthday.

Then I said, "You're only ten years away from your one-minute birthday!"

He seemed confused so I had to clarify... "You know, your... Sixty-Second birthday!"

I could hear the cringe through the phone, and I heard my fiancée groan from downstairs.

Now I just have to hope he forgets over the next ten years so I can make this joke again.

(she's working on a project that involves a fake plastic fish)

me: Isn't it weird that you don't see obese fish?

her: Yeah but that's because they just keep growing bigger.

me: Oh, I thought it was because they all have scales

spills water down myself when drinking

Me: “Sorry, I have a drinking problem”

Her: “Hahahaha”

forget her dad has drinking problem

Me: “That is such a dad joke”

silence is deafening

I asked him, "Hey Dad, did you hear about the wine that was so good that it could kill?"

"No," he replied.

I point towards the glass of wine that's been used as a fly catcher for the past week

"I guess you could say they were dropping like flies..."

In medieval times, people were named Lance a lot

I sent him a “get well soon” card.

I was helping my grandmother with one of those elevators for the elderly and the disabled, and in order to make it go up, I had to keep a button pressed down.

Me: Hey, dad! Look at how good I am at this. Perhaps I should get job as an elevator operator.

Dad: Son, don't go down that road, it's not a good job.

Me: And why is that?

Dad: I heard it has lots of ups and downs!

Back in the before times, when sit-down restaurants existed, I used to order boneless cheese sticks and would just throw the word "boneless" in front of any appetizer with 100% corniness. The purpose of this isn't to make a good joke. It's not a good joke. The purpose is to make my dining companions catch some cringe splash damage and want to crawl into a hole and die out of embarrassment for my being horribly corny.

But there is a real, deeper purpose that I've discovered entirely by accident. People, especially young people, are so self-conscious and worried about saying or doing something embarrassing that it taints a lot of social gatherings. They go to a restaurant and are afraid to speak up even when their order is blatantly wrong. They'll tip well even when the food took an hour to arrive and the server has disappeared into the corn stalks behind a baseball field. It takes 2 hours of hanging out together before some friends finally stop nitpicking themselves, uncomfortable in their own bodies and brains, feeling perpetually judged, and begin to relax. These are the kinds of people who go to sleep every night replaying cringey moments from high school. Their last thought of the day is when the Burger King girl said, "Enjoy your meal!" and they said, "Thanks, you too."

It takes 2 hours and/or a lot of booze before they're comfortable enough to take conversational risks and truly reveal themselves. But if I come right out of the gate with a really dumb joke, then we can cut to the chase. There's less danger because someone in the group already shot themselves in the foot, right off the bat. They pulled a pin on the cringe grenade and then jumped on it.

You cringe at my dumb joke and then we're over the hump. Someone has already done something pretty stupid, so go ahead and order the hubcap of nachos and a massive chocolate shake because nobody is going to judge you poorly while they're all judging me.

In terms of price negotiations (haggling), there is a psychological concept called "anchoring". You throw out the first number and all subsequent numbers are compared to that number. This is the same idea. We've already set the humor standard pretty low at "boneless cheese sticks", so you can say the dumbest shit you want and, as long as it's not worse than my cheesy joke, it won't matter.

This is why, when you were a teenager and your dad took you and some friends out, your dad made corny jokes. He knew they were corny jokes. You and your friends un

Look for the fresh prints.

I was at a restaurant with a friend and my girlfriend yesterday for an early dinner and we started discussing the difficulties of being a teacher. My friend then said "i just don't have the patience to be a teacher." I hesitated for a second, out of cowardice, but then replied with "teachers have students, not patients." There were lots of cringes. My girlfriend actually laughed and then said aloud that she hated herself for doing so. I think she's a keeper. :)

Eating dinner at my friend's house last night with his family. Their daughter walks in.

"Hey hon, how are you!" -Mom

"Hey! I'm okay. My throat is a little raw." -Daughter

"Well you better cook it." -Dad

I proceeded to laugh out loud while everyone else groaned a little and moved on.

While standing at the register of a New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood Co, the lady taking our order asked what we would like to drink. My girlfriend responds "I want some barq's!" To which I promptly replied, "woof, woof, WOOF!" 0 laughs or smiles and I could feel the air around me thicken with dad joke cringe. Fuck it, I loved it.

It helps them get out of their shell.

Dad dropped this exquisite cringe as we drove by.

Me: "Do you know if we have any compressed air around so I can clean out our computers?"

Dad: "There's a can of Raid here, but that probably wouldn't work too well."

Me: "Yeah probably not."

Dad: "BUT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ANY BUGS IN YOUR SYSTEM!"

I didn't even cringe I just laughed out loud because it was so good.

My mom was talking to my dad about me while we were eating dinner. At some point she said, "She's my baby, Daddy!" To which my dad deadpan responded immediately with, "No, I'm your baby daddy."

I cringed so hard I very nearly shot the soda I was drinking out of my nose.

"Wow," says the bartender. "In all my years of bartending I've never served a weasel before! What can I get for you?"

"Pop," goes the weasel.

My dad and I love dumb jokes and he told me this one last week XD so far I've gotten cringes and dumb stares when telling it.

About 8/10 when my dad was checking out at the grocery store or best buy or somthing with a rewards card he would do the same dad joke (which I now find hilarious). If the cashier was a woman, this would go down:

>Cashier: Your total is $x.xx. Do you have a rewards card with us?

>Dad: uhh...I don't think so...

>Cashier: Well what's your phone number?

>Dad: Sorry I don't just give my number out I'm married.

idk if this counts but it was one of my dad's go-to's and the amount of times he did it combined w/ the eye roll punchline made it one to me.

Teenage me cringed, probably gonna do it myself at some point now. I accept my dad joke fate.

So I'm currently watching all 6 star wars movies to prep myself for the new one coming out.

I just now finished watching Attack of the Clones. At the part where C3PO has his head attached to the battle droid, abs R2D2 removes it and starts dragging his head on the ground, 3PO says "this is such a drag"

Now as long as I can remember I've always HATED that line. I saw the movie for the first time in theaters when I was 16 years old and thought that little joke was the absolute dumbest and pointless part of the entire movie.

Now 13 years later I watched it again and when he said that line I just found myself laughing at it like it was actually really funny. I recognized that cringe in it but all kept laughing for like two minutes at it.

Does this mean I need to find someone to impregnate immediately?

Same thing goes with most dad jokes. Especially puns. Always hated them but have really been enjoying the posts on this sub lately.

I’m not sure, but I think this belongs here:

I work night shift as a unit clerk at a hospital, and there is this one old security guard who goes on rounds to every unit. He always stops at my desk and cracks really cheesy, cringe-worthy jokes. He has this one awful (awesome?) knee-slapper that seems to be a permanent fixture in his "dad joke" repertoire. He’s said it 3 or 4 times already since I’ve started working here in March, so I'm pretty sure this joke is constantly on standby for him.

This is the exact conversation every time:

Security dude: How are you doing this fine evening?

Me (purposefully setting myself up for it): Pretty good. How about you?

Security dude: Really? WELL, I’ve never been pretty or good, so I don't know what that's like! Hahahahahaha (continues to laugh like this is the funniest joke that’s ever been told).

Rented out the movie 'Olympus Has Fallen' yesterday. My dad proceeds to come into the room holding it, just so he can drop it and loudly exclaim "OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN!"

Cringing all round

Dad: Wow, He's got an arm!

Wife: Yeah, he's got two of them.

Dad: [cringes]

The best part is that he has always been the one to dish out the dadjokes. Way to go, wife!

So I've read a bunch of jokes to my girlfriend (Particularly the never ending one)...

Her: You need to stop this.

Me: Oh, I'll annoy you with these for sure.

Her: How do you know you're not annoying already?

Me: Who's already?

There are a million better ways to go about it, but that was my first live dad-joke. Naturally, she cringed and I loled. Just wanted to share. (Sorry if formatting is a bit off, newbie here).

Context: My mom (a 5th-grade teacher) was grading papers one evening. Dad was helping. I'm a college student, had visited for a bit, and was on my way back to school.

Mom said, jokingly, "You know you want to stay and sort papers!"

"Yeah!" dad said. "It'll be like we're all part of a conSORTium!"

...

It took me a second, but I cringed.

Dad laughed to himself for the rest of the evening.

Dad: I heard there was a robbery at the police station

Me: Yeah and

Dad: All that was robbed was the toilets...

Me: Strange

Dad: Yeah they have nothing to go on I heard...

Me: cringes and lets a horrified laugh

My dad is the type that tells the most generic and awful dad jokes that make you cringe, thus bringing to pass my own joke that is only possible thanks to my father's dry sense of humor. My husband & I were laying in bed and I was cuddled up to him. When he was about to go to sleep he turned to me & said, "I needa turn over." (As in "need to.") To which I replied, "Sorry, we don't have any." The laughter that then ensued brought tears to my eyes, but my husband didn't get it. Thanks for my awful humor, dad.

Peering into the dining area "Nope, it looks like an alright place."

Wish I could say I witnessed this one, or better yet said it. However it was my father's good friend who said this to a host when asked at an upscale restaurant if he had a reservation.

Though not the typical cringe worthy dad joke, I would like to still think it fits in.

My dad and I were talking about info he needed for some woodworking project he was doing. This was in the late 90's and specific info like that still wasn't always on the internet.

"Maybe I'll just rent a book from the library."

"Dad, you don't rent books from the library, you borrow them."

"Huh... Well, maybe I'll start my own library where you rent books instead. It'd be a novel idea."

That was 15 years ago now, and I still cringe (and then smirk) when I think of it.

Seriously, give it to me straight; are people all a bunch of liars, when they say that dad jokes makes them cringe and groan? I mean, I checked the first few pages sorted by top, and I haven't realised that this is EXACTLY my kind of humour until now. I had to keep myself from bursting into laughter at the office today multiple times. So, am I going to be an awesome dad or am I just someone who isn't afraid to admit that dad jokes are the best thing in the world?

Also, came up with my own swedish dad joke (translated). I 'd take a picture from a hill or a balcony and caption it with "Today's high point" (high point= swedish expression of highlight, highlight of the day basically)

"Dad you just created a paradox" "If twins became doctors they'd be a paradox"

cringes

"national kid"

My brother in the background loudly cringes from overdose of Dad

Me: "Did you write that one Dad?"

"yeah"

Preface: My dad, mom, and I went out to eat mexican food. Like we usually do, we order a huge platter of nachos and demolish the whole thing. Surely we are full even before our main course arrives. We all ordered combination platters that consisted of, burritos, enchiladas, and tacos which were overflowing with lettuce that no one except for my mom wanted to eat. My mom kept on nagging my dad and I to eat the lettuce so that it would lighten us up and make us feel less full:

Mom (for the 10th time): You boys should eat your lettuce. Come on now.

Me: Mom lettuce be!

Immediately my mom cringed and groaned, while my dad, after repeating the joke, gave a hearty chuckle.

So, we were at dinner and my friend goes "I want to go see a Three Doors Down concert, but they are in Europe right now" Her dad immediately goes "That is a lot more than three doors." I enjoyed it, my friend cringed.

I told my dad about Robert Konrad falling out of his boat and swimming 12 hours back to shore in the dark facing 10 foot waves, sharks, stinging jellyfish and 25 mile per hour winds. He poked his head around the corner and said "You know how he survived don't you? He is a dolphin." I cringed so hard since I was expecting some old man wisdom about the will to live etc. edit: actually he spent 16 hours in the water swimming for shore.

My mom chopping up mushrooms for a stir fry, while I'm sitting in the adjacent living room.

Dad walks up to Mom and says "No fungi for this fun guy!" With the exuberance of a kid on Christmas. Needless to say, I cringed fairly hard.

Log on to Facebook, look at the post from your father, cringe a little at your parents on Facebook, once you're over that... cringe at the joke, and finally revel in the always wonderful dad humor.

When ever my dad and I are at a restaurant and someone says; "Is this for here or to go?"

"Oh it's to go here. "

I cringe every time

My dad used to do this joke when we went out for dinner as a family. I still cringe when he uses it.

A waiter asks my dad 'How did you find your steak?'

He replied "Well I just moved my potato and there it was".

Me: Hey dad where you been? Dad: I went to the doctor today and he told me I had type A blood but it was a type O. Me: eyes cringe and they start to bleed
