Noble Mindedness Puns

What the title says. Do people love this character? In my opinion he’s one of the most badass and one of the best late stage additions to the books. I’ve hard the criticism that he’s “repetitive” but to me this is the entire point of the character. He’s a member of a long line of tall, brutish, psychotic pirate nobles. Barely a variation on his father/brothers, yet somehow still unique on his own.

Anyway, what are the iron captains greatest moments?

My personal favorite is his reverence for Ser Talbert Serry, the Southshield knight who fucks up his hand, despite the massive difference between Ironborn and Reach culture, (and the fact that he literally mutilates Victarion) his first thought about the man is that he respects his bravery as “almost an ironborn” and toasts him living on in the afterlife of his own culture.

Victarion is also barely hesitant to welcome a black man into a fundamental role in his crew. Despite GRRM’s description of him as “dumb as a stump” and “a dullard and a brute” he displays a remarkable open-mindedness toward other cultures as long they conform to his INSANE standards of masculinity, which is what makes him such a complex character.

There's been a matter of some note within the sub that I feel deserves some notice for all here, and I urge that it be a matter taken with utmost seriousness.

Some time back, I came to realize, with the help of some YouTube series such as "The Alt-Right Playbook" (which I highly recommend to you all!), that there has long been insidious attempts for people with misanthropic intentions to normalize their beliefs in a lot of bigotry and authoritarian systems within niche communities. In a lot of ways they simply enter spaces they think make ripe targets, and then they begin to scatter little crumbs of their hateful philosophies amongst a given community. Slowly, over time, because those crumbs are strongly veiled behind a narrative or presentation that the niche community finds intriguing or connects with, the community (and more specifically individuals within that community) become radicalized.

It's often done simply enough. There's often a component of freedom, fighting oppressors, waking up, individualistic self-empowerment, being chosen, etc. All those on their own are perfectly good concepts, which is apparently the best way to coat the more insidious things such people try to pull off. It isn't a sacred or compassionate or spiritual thing, just a useful vehicle for their desires. As a result, there's usually little hints... Indications that listening to them and their message warrants caution. Sometimes it's betrayed by an escapist narrative that just sounds too good to be true...like your life will forever after be remarkable, or easier...or like humanity is going to be freed from all suffering forever after to live in bliss as beings of light. Other times it's betrayed by the elevations of certain "in groups", perhaps like "benevolent white nobles" being responsible for the Renaissance era, and how their descendants are planning a new renaissance with the help of aliens. Sometimes it's betrayed by a continuous barrage of fancy words, phrases, and intricacy...filler content that can reassure the audience that it's just way too complex and makes references to too many things they have heard before or relate to for it to be illegitimate. Maybe that looks like saying "we're tapping into the akashic records", maybe that looks like "isis got her crown back". As a general rule, whenever someone says things like that, I ask myself why they said it that way, why couldn't they have bottled the real meat of the idea that's spiritually valuable to their audie

I guess the concept didn't work

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.

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

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

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.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

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

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

And boy are my arms legs.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

Put it on my bill

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 just don’t work!

They’re on standbi

BamBOO!

A play on words.

1. “If one has no religious beliefs, then one does not like to admit the feeling of deficit, but prates loudly about one’s liberal-mindedness and pats oneself on the back for the noble frankness of one’s agnosticism. From this standpoint, it is hardly possible to admit the numinosity of the religious object, and yet its very numinosity is just as great a hindrance to critical thinking, because the unpleasant possibility might then arise that one’s faith in enlightenment or agnosticism would be shaken.
2. Both types feel, without knowing it, the insufficiency of their argument. Enlightenment operates with an inadequate rationalistic concept of truth and points triumphantly to the fact that beliefs such as the virgin birth, divine filiation, the resurrection of the dead, transubstantiation, etc., are all moonshine. Agnosticism maintains that it does not possess any knowledge of God or of anything metaphysical, overlooking the fact that one never possesses a metaphysical belief but is possessed by it.
3. Both are possessed by reason, which represents the supreme arbiter who cannot be argued with. But who or what is this “reason” and why should it be supreme? Is not something that is and has real existence for us an authority superior to any rational judgment, as has been shown over and over again in the history of the human mind?
4. Unfortunately the defenders of “faith” operate with the same futile arguments, only the other way about. The only thing which is beyond doubt is that there are metaphysical statements which are asserted or denied with considerable affect precisely because of their numinosity. This fact gives us a sure empirical basis from which to proceed. It is objectively real as a psychic phenomenon. The same applies naturally to all statements, even the most contradictory, that ever were or still are numinous.”

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.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

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.
