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

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!

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

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!

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.

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

There are again some very interesting Chinese translations for unit names in the Cathay roster reveal. Here I will show the most distinctive ones (most are just straight translations). The localized original is here.

If you want to know Chinese versions of Cathayan character and place names, I've done two previous posts you can check out.

Lords:

Dragon-blooded Shugengan Lords: Long Yi Xiu Yan Qing = 龙裔修验卿

• 龙 lóng - "dragon"
• 裔 yì - "descent"
• 修 xiū - "refinement, cultivation"
• 验 yàn - "proof, practice"
• 卿 qīng - "minister, official"
• Translation: "Dragon-descended Ministers of Cultivation and Practice"

The xiū yàn 修验 part of the name comes from the Chinese translation of Shugendō 修験道, a Japanese esoteric religion that combines Buddhism and Shintoism. The name of its practitioners, Shugenja, was used in the Legend of the Five Rings RPG to refer to eastern spell casters and probably led to the creation of "Shugengan" in Tamurkhan: The Throne of Chaos. So while the title xiū yàn qīng 修验卿 is rooted in GW's early mishmashing of Asian cultures, it actually ends up making sense for the in-universe Cathayan characters (i.e. they cultivate and practice their magic).

Lord Magistrates: Jing Lue Shi = 经略使

• 经 jīng - "to administer"
• 略 lüè - "boundary"
• 使 shǐ - "envoy; official"
• Translation: "Official that Administers Boundaries"

This title comes straight from real Chinese history. During the Tang and Song dynasties, jīng lüè shǐ 经略使 were the commanders in charge of frontier provinces. I applaud the translators for choosing this term, since the parts of Cathay ruled by Miao Ying and Zhao Ming are indeed frontier areas.

Heroes:

(reproduced from my previous post because they are just too ingenious!)

Alchemists: Dan Ding Shi = 丹鼎师

• 丹 dān - “the color red; cinnabar”
• 鼎 dǐng - “three-legged cauldron”
• 师 shī - “master”
• Translation: “Master of the Cinnabar Cauldron”

This is quite a genius translation as cinnabar was indeed an important ingredient in medieval Daoist “alchemical” practices. These practices were aimed at creating elixirs of immortality/longevity. Western alchemists (the sort that try to create gold with philosopher’s stones) are usually translated as 炼金师 Lian Jin Shi, me

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.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Or would that be too forward thinking?
