When does a pun become a dad joke? When it becomes apparent. See what we did there? That’s a bad pun and a dad joke all in one. People may make fun of those who come up with bad puns, but let’s face it: we all secretly enjoy them. That’s why, for this article, we collected pun examples and dad jokes from all over the internet.

What Is a Pun?

A pun is a wordplay that’s based on one word having different meanings or several words sounding similar. Both bad puns and good puns are created for humorous effect. It may seem that making puns is an easy job, but in fact, not only do you need a good sense of humor, but you also have to be pretty savvy with words.

Now that you are semi-familiar with what puns are, we have a whole list for you to indulge in. We gathered some of the best puns collected by a Tumblr blog called Just Bad Puns. But don't let the name fool you; they are not bad at all. You’ll probably find them hilarious if you’re into dad jokes. So don't waste any more time, and scroll below for the list of bad puns and more interesting stuff about them!

    Types of Puns

    Puns can be made based on several different principles. Depending on that, linguists distinguish various types of puns. The ones that you’re most likely to find in a common joke are: 

    • Homophonic puns rely on two or more words sounding similar but being written differently and meaning completely different (often unrelated) things.
    • Homographic puns are based on words that are written the same way but don’t coincide in either pronunciation or meaning. Because of this, these puns are better relayed in writing rather than in a conversation.
    • Homonymic puns require wordplay in both the writing and pronunciation. Since this limits your options, such puns might be a little more difficult to make. 
    • Visual puns, as the name suggests, include pictures. The wordplay is expressed through graphic media. This type is often used in cartoons, heraldry, and languages that aren’t based on phonetic writing, for example, Chinese.

    Where to Use Puns

    You might think that the only use funny puns have is to be told in a conversation and make someone laugh. While this is undeniably true, puns have a much wider application. Authors often use clever wordplay in their books, and not necessarily for comedic effect. Some of the most prominent pun examples in literature belong to William Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll.

    Another field that greatly benefits from using puns is branding and design. Marketing executives have long noticed that logos and business names based on wordplay attract the customers’ attention and put it to good use.

    Dashing Biker

    A Harley rider eating in a restaurant is checking out a gorgeous redhead. Suddenly she sneezes and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket. The biker reaches up, snatches it out of the air, and hands it back to her. “I am so embarrassed,” the woman says. “Please join me for dinner." They enjoy a wonderful meal together and afterwards she invites him to the theatre, followed by drinks. She pays for everything. Then she asks him to her place for a nightcap, and to stay for breakfast. The next morning the guy is amazed. "Are you this nice to every biker you meet?” he asks. “Not usually,” she replies. “But you just happened to catch my eye.”

    What Are Bad Puns?

    Sense of humor is a very subjective thing. What may be a side-splitting joke for someone wouldn’t even squeeze a slight smile from another. Yet, there is a common opinion that some especially unsophisticated or corny puns can be qualified as bad. Some people even argue that there can only be bad puns or terrible puns, no good ones.

    Why Are Bad Puns Funny?

    Ever heard the expression “it’s so bad, it’s good”? Many agree that this is exactly the case with puns. We all enjoy smart jokes and subtle comedy, but every now and then, everyone wants to leave their thinking cap at home and just laugh at something that’s not exactly comedy gold.

    Should I Use Puns in Daily Conversations?

    There is no unanimous answer to this question. However, if you do decide to resort to puns, make sure you have correctly assessed the situation and appropriateness of the joke. You might think you’re spreading the best funny puns jokes, but in reality, what comes out is bad puns. 

    Bad Puns FAQ

    What Is the Difference Between Bad Puns and Dad Jokes?

    Not every pun is a dad joke, and likewise, not every dad joke is a pun, bad or otherwise. While dad jokes often rely on wordplay, it’s not necessarily a pun, just a misrepresentation of language. At the same time, dad jokes are mostly clean, yet some puns may be inappropriate for certain audiences.

    Is It Okay to Make Puns of Your Friends’ Names?

    While funny name puns are a great way of bonding with your friends, always make sure the other person feels good about their pun nickname. In any case, it shouldn’t be offensive or derogatory. If the person asks you to stop using it, respect their request. 

    Do Puns Have Authors?

    As we mentioned in this article, some puns do indeed have authors. Writers who love to play with words have produced some of the most sophisticated puns. Lewis Carroll was especially famous for this. Both his books about Alice and her adventures heavily employ puns. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Other puns are just like fairy tales: they exist in daily life, and everyone is welcome to use them, but we don’t know the person who came up with them first.
