Dad Jokes!

Given a new lease of publicity by a Sydney Morning Herald article, the Dad joke is timeless, classic, and absolutely hilarious... to Dads. Don't ask why... maybe it's a physiological thing. Our brains change? Whatever the reason the tradition of the Dad joke is a strong and precious one. We should foster and nuture our joke-telling abilities! To that end, we have collected here a compendium of Dad jokes.

To qualify as a Dad joke, a joke must have two qualities. It must be:

  1. not funny in the first place (to anyone except a Dad!) and
  2. become rapidly less funny through constant repetition (except to the Dad telling it, who still finds it hilarious!)

e.g. When passing a cemetery in the car: "Look at that cemetery, kids - people are just dying to get in there!" Brilliant!

Best present
