dad jokes

If you happen to be living in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, you absolutely must pass by the Wallingford Sign. The good people of a humble gas station in the the town go to the trouble of putting up hilariously terribly amazing puns on their sign every. single. day. Commuters going past this sign are lucky indeed. We could all use some more laughter in our lives. Especially when it comes in sign-form. 

Much of what we take for granted in Western society today comes from Ancient Greece. Democracy? The Greeks. Philosophy? The Greeks. Vending machines? Amazingly, the Greeks. If so much came from the Greeks, what about humor? The answer is here, in these amazing Reddit threads. They prove to us that Greek mythology can make some pretty hilarious (and bad in a good way) jokes. 

I think every movie needs more bad puns. Including Star Wars. So here are some terribly bad (good) Han Solo and Kylo Red jokes. Enjoy

Honestly we're not sure if we even love or hate puns. These clever jokes and witty jokes just kind of exist. Some puns satiate our wordplay cravings while others just make us mad. Some make us feel smart for liking them, others make us feel stupid. They're just never going away.

Let's start with an obvious fact: work can be boring. Really boring. And commuting to work can be boring too. But some people, probably the most bored ones at work, decided to spice things up a bit by putting up terrible puns on signs. Terrifically, hilariously, terrible. And I'm sure that these bored employees not only had a bit of fun, but made everyone passing the sign on their commute have a bit of a chuckle too. I know I did when reading them. So props to the random employees who made the world a better place with a little bit of wordplay. 

@TheDad on twitter gave us a precious list of all those things said and done by All dads. 

If you love dad jokes, cheesy word play, and puns that make your eyes roll, you'll love these dumb memes that are sure to scratch that pun itch. Thanks to accounts like @Pun_Bible and @PunHubOnline, we never have to worry about running out of memes filled with the best kind of corny humor. We've selected some of our favorites from these hilarious accounts that you can either chuckle about to yourself or send to someone who will appreciate them. 

We're not sure if puns are funny, but they sure are there. The general consensus with wordplay like this is that it's not funny at all until it is. So here's a smattering of puns to fill the pun void. Puns and dad jokes of all stripes have their time and place, like this plate full of puns to fall face-first into.

These jokes are so bad they're good.

We're not gonna sugar coat it: everything kinda sucks. But there's one bullet-proof defense us humans have against suffering, and that's humor. Humans are so damn good at laughing through the pain; it's remarkable really. Memes often perfectly reflect what we're collectively going through, and we've got some good ones that fit the profile. This batch also includes memes of encouragement, depression memes, absurd shitposts, and memes with dumb dad humor. An assortment of memes with one thing in common—funny.

All dads can rejoice over these stupid pun-filled memes. We'd also like to extend that to dads-in-training; you don't need to be a dad or even want kids in order to be a dad-in-training - the only requirement here is that you take a lot of joy in making the whole room groan from your bad jokes.

Now that Mother's Day has come and gone, we can get back to our preferred dad-ly humor. Most meme makers are probably not fathers, but there are definitely tons of memes that are just brimming with dad jokes. This delightfully cringey assortment of pics is all the proof we need.

It's that time of the week where we bring you the funniest eye-rolling collection of dad tweets we came across over the past seven days. Twitter is the place where dads come to life, and we see dad humor at its best. Scroll through this collection, groan loudly and then check out last week's in case you missed them.

We really wish we didn't laugh at these, but no promises.
