My 15 month old daughter has been saying "momma" and "dadda" a lot now, and I tried using this to my advantage...

Secretly (when my wife was out), I'd ask her "who do you love more?", and praise her when she said "dadda!". This has been going on for weeks now.

The other day, my wife got home and I wanted to show her my little 'trick'. So I asked our daughter, "Who do you love more?", in which case she replied "dadda!" and ran towards my wife (which is very clearly her favourite btw).

My wife, who didn't care much for the new thing I taught our daughter, bent down and picked her up to cuddle with her. Her facial expression changed a bit, then she laughed. She looked at me and said "well, she ran to me as she said that, and her diaper is full... so clearly she was full of crap when she said that!"

My wife is now in on the dad jokes and won this one!

Edit: Bolded the text to emphasize what part of this story was the dad joke...

Final Edit: My wife was surprised at how much this blew up! She says thanks to everyone, but she has no idea what the awards are for (since she doesn’t use Reddit). πŸ˜‚

When I turned into a teenager, my dad repeatedly emphasized the importance of using a condom whenever I have sex.

He said, β€œAnyone who would sleep with you would sleep with almost anyone else.”

At an auction at a Tourette's syndrome charity, I won a bid for an origami sculpture of scissors made by Dwayne Johnson. To emphasize the charity's cause, he replaced a bad word with a family-friendly word on his origami scissors.

The Rock's paper scissors said "Shoot."

I cannot emphasize enough how much I support scientists working towards creating an invisibility cloak.

I just want to make myself clear.

My friend insulted my puns. I responded with a showcase of my arsenal. I am pundeniable.

Want me to tell you water puns?

A pun is the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words

Just had a great moment in the car

My friends and I are all students attending OU. We were driving by our college, when...

Friend: "Hi school!"

Me: "No Samuel, that's college."

It took 30 seconds of me emphasizing/repeating the wording to get them to realize what I meant.

My son (3.5 years old) got me today

He likes drinking yogurts. Normally he drinks them from the bottle, but this time he asked me for a straw.

"Why do you want a straw?"

"Because it is a strawberry yogurt!" (he emphasized STRAW in strawberry and grinned).

Probably his first dad joke ever.

After 24 years of life, my dad finally got me...

Context: English isn't his first language, and he isn't the greatest at writing it (When He Wants To Emphasize Something, He Capitalizes The First Letter). He usually has me read over his important emails before sending them.

me: "Dad, you capitalize everything"

Dad: "What can I say, I'm a capitalist"

Got me twice in 10 seconds...

My dad keeps some hand sanitizer on-hand next to him in his car. As my dad was driving, I saw that there was a bit of hand sanitizer that had spilled onto his cup holder.

Me: Hey dad, did you spill purell?

Dad: P-U-R-E-L-L.

Me: What?

Dad: You asked me if I spelled purell, but I didn't so now I did!

Me: groans Okay Dad, did you spill purell?? [Emphasized pronunciation of word]

Dad No I didn't spill purell... because that's germ-x.

Me: groaning intensifies

Got my wife as she offered to fill my glass with water. She scowled at me.

After filling her own glass, I responded, "Pour (emphasizing this word) favor!" She scowled then slightly laughed.

My dad told our neighbor this a while back, after she had complained about our dog.

My dad: "Do you know why he barks so much?"

Her: "No...?"

My dad: "Because he can't meow!"

He frequently tells this story with a huge grin on his face, as he emphasizes that she didn't get the joke.
