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.

Time/goals: wait and see

The story of this race started 2 years ago. Amy (one of my very closest friends who I have put more than a thousand miles underfoot with) and Larry (a local training partner who is a total long distance badass) did this race together. Amy has lived in Brooklyn and was raised in Westchester so had a lot of familiarity with the course. She and Larry have so much fun doing this race and on some of our training runs they tell me about it. It sounds fun and something I’d like to do one day.

2020 rolls around, I’m not even following this race – but it understandably gets cancelled, there are a lot of deferrals, but come late 2020 there are some 33 spots left and they decide to do a lotto for those spots for 21. Amy had already deferred a 2020 spot so she’s in and I realize this might be our only chance to ever do this race together, something I knew was important to me. So I sign up for the Lotto and in late December I found out I got in. I’m elated but also terrified, as the furthest I’ve ever done up to this point is a little over 100k, about 63 and change.

The race is 100 miles all over NYC. I’ve been to NYC, like most tourists I’ve only spent time in Manhattan with occasional blips in Brooklyn. So I’m excited to see the city in a way I’d never do otherwise.

Training:

As far as training I am already a decently high mileage baseline runner, but instead of usual 65-70 mpw I worked in some 90 mile weeks. This was done mostly by making sure I got in a decently long run 20-30 on a Saturday followed by a 10-20 the next day.

My biggest concern about this race was the heat. Of course I respect the distance, but for me respecting the distance came in the form of making sure I didn’t overheat because even at a shorter distance that would’ve been a nail in a coffin for me. As we look at the forecast it’s going to be the hottest day or nearly hottest day in NY yet this year – great.

Pre-race:

I get to NYC and get to the hotel and Amy has already checked

The doctor says it terminal.

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

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.

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.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

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!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Said if she ever hosts a gender reveal party, when it comes time to pop the balloon she'll spray everyone with water.

Gender is fluid.

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.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

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

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

Calcium, nickel, neon

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

He’s the new temp.

Pilot on me!!

Until he discovered it was extra sharp.
