40 Dad Jokes So Bad They Are Actually Hilarious
Dad jokes are a cultural phenomenon. Well, maybe not so much of a cultural, and perhaps not so much of a phenomenon, but they are funny.
The reason they are so funny is that they are so silly that it's impossible not to laugh at them, no matter how ridiculous or stupid they are. Most of them are based on puns and wordplay. They are so simple and so adorable.
All of us have been embarrassed by our dads' jokes at least once in our lifetime. There are three stages in our view of dad jokes.
The first stage is when we are small kids, and we think dad jokes are the funniest thing in the world and that our dads are kings of comedy. The second, teenage and early adulthood stage is when we start to get embarrassed.
And the third stage is when we become parents and start using those same dad jokes. And we enjoy hearing them all over at family reunions from our dads.
We even start exchanging them! Luckily for all of us who enjoy this kind of humor, there is an Instagram page called dadsaysjokes. We have selected 40 of the best ones and you will love them.

Moonpig, an online card and gift retailer, has recently done a study to find the cringiest dad joke. It turns out that the all-time favorite dad joke is a classic – "What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick."
According to the company's spokesperson, what makes dad jokes almost universally funny is the fact that "they are reminiscent of the embarrassment you would feel as a child from your parents, so a sense of nostalgia and innocence mixed with the humor gets us all laughing."
