A joke can be good, bad, or it can be a dad joke. In a world full of comedy wisdom, which we had plenty of in the cursed year of 2020, most jokes, memes, and puns do get old. They get plain, go sour, and upon each reoccurrence, they start to annoy the listeners.

Except, of course, we are talking dad jokes. Perfectly bold, sometimes badly timed, most often over-the-top punny, these jokes are the fuel of online humor. And thanks to the fan-favorite Dad Says Jokes Instagram page adored by 2M followers, we can be sure the world is not running out of the daddest jokes any time soon.

Get ready for the eye rolls, because these are so bad, I mean dad-like, they’re almost good, but in an odd way. Treat your cringy side with Bored Panda’s previous posts full of hand-selected dad jokes here, here, and here.

    By definition, a dad joke is really a short joke, typically a pun, presented as a one-liner or a question and answer, but not a narrative, according to Wikipedia. Dad jokes are most commonly told by fathers in the family, hence the name, and their main feature is being overly simple and generally inoffensive. Hence, they play on the safe side.

    As we all know, family gatherings serve as a perfect environment for dad jokes to emerge, especially family dinners, Christmas holidays, birthdays, and Thanksgiving. Dad jokes only take off when there's an audience, preferably more than two people and grown-up children included. This is partly because moms have become somewhat immune to dad humor with time and tend to generally not respond to the pun thrown at the table for many reasons.

    In 2019, the Merriam-Webster dictionary added the term 'dad joke,' granting it a holy grail of use in common language.

    Do you have a poetry class? I would love to join. The best poetry i've made is a bowl, but it just looks like a lump of clay with a hole in the middle...

    They can. Instead of black and white keys, they just use skeleton keys.

    What’s the difference between a comma and a cat? One is the pause on the end of a clause, and the other has claws on the end of it’s paws.

    I only very recently realized how literal the term "blood vessels" is. Like, you don't think about it... it's just what they're called! I knew what "vessel" means... (something that contains or carries something). So blood vessels contain and carry blood... IDK, blew my mind. O_O
