so he hired the 10 most popular comedians in the country to come up with 1 good pun each, hoping one of them would make him laugh.
unfortunately, no pun in ten did
I have read that puns are not a feature of German humour...
So are German Dad's humourless? I doubt it.
Some examples of German (or any other non-English) Dad jokes please!
It's now 13 years since the King of Pop died, there remain significant concerns about his personal life, plus most of these are just really lame puns about his song titles.
And that's... Bad
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.
My dad pulled one on my brother when he was going to an interview for an internship with UPS (delivery service).
"What does the UPS guy say when he drops a package?"
"What?"
"Oops"
Laughed too hard at first because I thought it was some sort of anti-joke. But nope, just a lame pun. Stay classy, pops.
Hi everyone what are your best most lame puns?
What do you think about necromancy? I think it's a dead art...
They only talk about the mooooooon.
It facepalms
I will find you. You have my Word.
No pun in ten did.
They're fowl.
It can be tedious dealing with different subreddits and YouTube channels. What if we aggregated all of these videos to one master site?
We can call it ScornHub.
no pun in ten did
That folks is why they're dad jokes...
Only do-angles and donot-angles.
It was a Shih Tzu
Apologies if you've heard this banger before
Research published in the British Psychological Society's journal, The Psychologist recently used r/DadJokes among other sources:
"How, for one thing, are we to make sense of the apparent popularity of dad jokes given that they are explicitly said to be ‘unfunny’? Even those definitions of the genre that do not specifically use the word ‘unfunny’ include similar slights, calling them ‘lame’ (Dictionary.com), ‘hackneyed’ (OED), or ‘embarrassingly bad’ (Urban Dictionary). Yet many people clearly find dad jokes funny in some sense. On the popular social network Reddit, the community r/DadJokes, which is specifically dedicated to sharing dad jokes, has a staggering 8.8 million members."
and found that:
"By continually telling their children jokes that are so bad that they’re embarrassing, fathers may push their children’s limits for how much embarrassment they can handle. They show their children that embarrassment isn’t fatal. For a child who is approaching or has entered adolescence, which appears to be a sensitive period for sociocultural processing (Blakemore & Mills, 2014), this is an immensely valuable lesson. In this sense, dad jokes may have a positive pedagogical effect, toughening up the kids who are begrudgingly exposed to them."

String cheese?
Yes, you have. I just posted it last week.
Because Zeta ate a Theta
…. yo, duh!
He and she also said Tennessee doesn’t like drag shows.
He was un-bear-able
A dive through.
I sent her this link to justify my thalassophobia and her comforting words were an epic dad joke. I married up, no doubt about it.
"Well I just had Demeter!"
Telepathetic
Edit: How tf this is my first post that blew over 1k!!
.
Dadpool.
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Brother: It's really tough to get into School Y these days.
Dad: Actually it's easy. Just go through the main gate.
I made finger-guns at Brother and think he died inside a little.
Because when you're there, you're family 😁
On the other hand, I’m ok.
It's the domino's effect.
Then my daughter grew up, got married and had one of her own.
Now my Dad jokes are GRAND! :D
She hasn’t walked out on me yet.
He didn't have mushroom for anything else.

Butt willy?

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the socks are coming off, the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really ruffles my jimmies. First of all, dad jokes CAN be lame, 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, then it was probably just a conversation, not a joke. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes, because children aren’t allowed to make cheesy dad jokes. Ever. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a ritz cracker would understand it better. 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 breast.
