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.
Mission to the Unknown", featuring none of the regular cast[67]); almost an entire season of seven-episode serials (season 7); the ten-episode serial The War Games;[68] and The Trial of a Time Lord, which ran for fourteen episodes (albeit divided into three production codes and four narrative segments) during season 23.[69] Occasionally serials were loosely connected by a story-line, such as season 8 focusing on the Doctor battling a rogue Time Lord called the Master,[70][71] season 16's quest for the Key to Time,[72] season 18's journey through E-Space and the theme of entropy,[73] and season 20's Black Guardian trilogy.[74] The programme was intended to be educational and for family viewing on the early Saturday evening schedule.[75] It initially alternated stories set in the past, which taught younger audience members about history, and with those in the future or outer space, focusing on science.[75] This was also reflected in the Doctor's original companions, one of whom was a science teacher and another a history teacher.[75] However, science fiction stories came to dominate the programme, and the history-orientated episodes, which were not popular with the production team,[75] were dropped after The Highlanders (1967). While the show continued to use historical settings, they were generally used as a backdrop for science fiction tales, with one exception: Black Orchid (1982), set in 1920s England.[76] The early stories were serialised in nature, with the narrative of one story flowing into the next, and each episode having its own title, although produced as distinct stories with their own production codes.[77] Following The Gunfighters (1966), however, each serial was given its own title, and the individual parts were simply assigned episode numbers.[77] Of the programme's many writers, Robert Holmes was the most prolific,[78] while Douglas Adams became the most well known outside Doctor Who itself, due to the popularity of his Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy works.[79][80] The serial format changed for the 2005 revival, with what was now called a series usually consisting of thirteen 45-minute, self-contained episodes (60 minutes with adverts, on overseas commercial channels), and an extended 60-minute episode broadcast on Christmas Day. This system was shortened to twelve episodes and one Christmas special following the revival's eighth series, and ten episodes from the eleventh series. Each series includ

Whether that be a crossover with another show, BF creating their own incarnation of the Doctor (which you can argue with David Warner, they already have), or further recontextualizing the Doctor's personal history, you can take the format down some interesting routes.
I recall seeing a suggestion someone made on Reddit (can't remember who so can't give credit, sorry) for a Big Finish story in which the Big Finish Eighth Doctor encounters the Eighth Doctor as potrayed in the novels. This got me thinking what other stories like this could you do?
My personal vote would be for a story, probably a comic, in which William Hartnell, Richard Hurndall, and David Bradley's three First Doctors have to team up. You could exaggerate the subtle differences in portrayal and their physicality to generate conflict. And give a futher in-universe account of how all three can exist.
So what would you like to see? Either as an episode/concept within the show or from the EU.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
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!
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
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’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
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.

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.
