These Dad Jokes And Dad-Isms Are Way Too Real

Ah, dad jokes. We don’t know what it is about them that unites all dads, but if there’s a bad joke or an animal pun to be made in any corner of the globe, there’s a dad to make it. And while touching quotes about fathers have their place and time, these dad jokes were designed to make any basic father and Homer Simpson among us feel like a stand up comic (and let’s be real, they don’t need much encouragement).

It’s safe to say we all have a love/hate relationship with dad jokes. Our own fathers drowned us in them as children and, for a while, they were the bee’s knees. Then as teenagers, we really wondered if there was something wrong with our dads. But now as adults, why do they make us chuckle? It’s simple — dad jokes were and will always be king.

And if you love dad jokes (or have a dad who loves to joke), we have a T-shirt just for him. Trust us, he’ll like it.

Dad jokes have earned a place in pop culture as of late, with young and old fathers alike reclaiming their right to tell cringe-worthy jokes. Bringing horror to the listener horror much to the dad’s delight. In these awful times, we can at least turn to these for a brief respite from the dumpster fire raging around us. And so, without further ado, check out our favorite dad jokes of all time.

The laughter doesn’t have to stop there! We have fun pages filled with doctor jokes, bar jokes, and more.
