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.
Do your worst!
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!
They’re on standbi
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.
When I got home, they were still there.

There is a certain pop-historical "fact" that has been circulating since the mid-1990s, to the effect that Modern Art was a creation of the CIA and this is why all our art is so terrible. The case for it is laid out in articles like this.
"The gist of her case goes something like this. We know that the CIA bankrolled cultural initiatives as part of its propaganda war against the Soviet Union. It did so indirectly, on what was called a “long leash”, via organisations such as the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), an anti-Communist advocacy group active in 35 countries, which the CIA helped to establish and fund...According to Saunders, the CCF financed several high-profile exhibitions of Abstract Expressionism during the ‘50s, including The New American Painting, which toured Europe between 1958 and 1959."
The argument then is roughly that the CIA promoted non-representational art (ie, Abstract Art) in the 1950s as a reaction to Soviet Socialist Realism and this is how representational art was displaced.
The first problem with this argument is that representational art has never been completely displaced. While representational art was at a nadir in the 1950s and 1960s for reasons I will explain below, it was never at risk of extinction and today is undergoing something of a renaissance. I would estimate that throughout the 20th century representational art comprised a minimum of 25% of all art being professionally produced even during the height of non-representational art. Elaine de Kooning for example was the wife of the abstract expressionist painter Willem de Kooning and yet is most known for her representational work.
What declined was the absolute hegemony of representational art, art that demands as its object a strict realism in which the qualities of art as art is seen as an impediment to the mimicry of reality. However if the CIA if it had a hand in the decline of these things it was minimal because the truth is that Formal, Hegemonic, Representational Art had been declining for a very long time before the 1950s and was already declining before the CIA even existed.
In the post-renaissance era most art was still made according to a workshop system in which you would have a master artist who personally worked on the most important commissions while below them would be a host of apprentices who would work on minor commissions or small details in major commiss

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.
You take away their little brooms
Where ever you left it 🤷♀️🤭
There hasn't been a post all year!
It was about a weak back.
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
