And now I'm going to face time
I told my wife "That cat would have way more grip on roof shingles and I expect more I realism from talking cartoon cows. This is "UDDERLY" ridiculous."
She may have buried her head and avoided eye contact for a bit. I was proud.
He had just had another bleed in his left eye (it is full of blood) so I was chatting with him after the doctor's appointment. I mention that I just got back from the gym and he drops this : "That's funny b/c you look half as good as last time I saw you."
Ground beef.
(My Dad was very excited to tell me this during our video chat tonight)
Him: "You're a pretty cool person."
Me: "Actually I'm nice and toasty. I'm wearing sweater tights and have a blanket over me!"
Him: "But where did you get the bread? ... Oh, right, you're just loafing around!"
We have a group chat, and my team leader told us that she just video chatted with a member of our Indian team named Siddharth. She said "Siddharth, btw, is one of the sweetest people I've ever met."
I immediately responded with "what a sweetharth."
I feel pretty good about it.
I spent a good portion of my youth rolling my eyes at my father's jokes. But deep down, I loved 'em. I have a great Dad. But I'm not really the best at saying "I love you". I was reading /r/dadjokes recently and I had an idea. I should turn my Dad's favorite joke into a t-shirt. Then, on Father's Day, I could video chat with him while I wear the shirt.
I think he would love the shit out of that, you know? Like, maybe he will think "Wow, my son gets it. He actually likes my humor!"
Then I thought, I could turn a bunch of these jokes into shirts. So I did. You can see them here:

And then I thought, man, if I could get more people to do nothing else on Father's Day but to embrace their Dad's sense of humor... that would be pretty cool. It would make a lot of Dads happy.
So I wrote the Dad Joke Manifesto:

You don't have to use t-shirts. Just make a good joke. Employ puns. Think about your Dad's style, his favorite joke, and embrace it.
If you can dig it, then join the movement. Send me your favorite Dad Jokes. Join us on:
If nothing else, follow along for some good dad jokes.
We're video chatting and she's drinking a Pepsi (you can see where this is going). She said "Aw I'm starting to get to the bottom of it" referring to her drink. I look up and say "Oh what have you found out." I thought there was going to be absolutely no reaction but next thing I know she has moved the can and there is Pepsi all down her shirt, and she is laughing like an idiot.
