dumb

With just a few simple strategies, you too could look like a moron and ruin your life. Dumb and bad life pro tips will help you go out of your way to antagonize people, live a horrible life, and be sad all the time. There's no reason to not streamline your life with a few bad life pro tips to not do. What's stopping you? Other than decent judgement.

Sure, the world might have its own expectations about what is proper conduct, but the mad lads of the world don't see it that way. Mad lads pave their own way through shenanigans, trickery and bold brashness of all kinds. They may have different ideas of what counts as out-of-bounds, but they're all maniacal mad lads who don't give a dang.

Remember the days when we could watch movies in the theater without a care in the world? Our biggest worry was which size popcorn to get (large obviously) or where to sit (back row, middle seats, duh). But those days are distant memories, and who knows when we'll be allowed back into theaters. We wouldn't even mind the obnoxious idiots who talk throughout the movie, or who have their phones on loud—just bring back normality, please! Joining us in movie theater nostalgia is writer Mike Ginn, who recently tweeted: "The thing I miss most about movie theaters is overhearing someone say the dumbest f—king thing I've ever heard before the previews start." His tweet went viral, and he received thousands of replies from people, all sharing the dumbest things they've overheard at the movies. What's yours?

There's nothing in this world quite like a good (bad) dad joke. The simplicity and elegance of a stupid pun perfectly executed can make you feel like you're in the back seat of a car on your way to soccer practice. In any case, here are several days worth of wonderful puns. For more, here are some of tumblr's most punishingly dad-tastic jokes.

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. 

There's a fine line between a clever pun and mind-blowingly stupid pun, and honestly it seems like there's no way of knowing which is which until it's already been thrown out there. Kind of like a faulty antique grenade, but for laughter. Here are some more dad jokes that go father than ever before.

Sure, arguing over semantics is all about dodging empirical facts and avoiding reality, but also it's kinda fun to be technically accurate. You're not gonna score high on any tests or win any real arguments being technically accurate, but at least at the end of the day you can tell yourself that your position, while stupid, was unassailable in its own little way.

There are those of us who love puns, and those of us who would like to take every pun-maker on the planet and shoot them out of a cannon into a brick wall. Many of us fall somewhere in between. Puns can be dumb or clever, but if one thing is for sure it's that they have an appropriate time and place.

This quick Tumblr post shows just how quickly those dumb questions we type into Google can quickly spiral out of control. At least we don't actually have tons of moths trying to fly into the sun everyday. That'd be sad. Very sad. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr thread that provides an extreme analysis of the Ratatouille timeline.

We're not sure if we like puns all that much, but they definitely have a time and a place. A well placed dad-joke can bring down the house or make you want to slam your hand in a car door. Either way if you're aching for clever and not-so-clever wordplay, there are puns to fill the pun void.

Most of us would agree that safety rules are important to follow. But when rules are enforced not on their utility but on the satisfactions of the people getting to abuse them, that's where people get petty. For another story of pettiness, here's a coworker who complained too much about free pizza and encouraged a petty feast.

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.

For some reason, when people get a particularly stupid name in their head, it's a really hard time for the people around them to convince them that no, maybe "Tylenol van Halen" is a bad name for a baby, you stupid idiot. Some of these people weren't even convinced effectively, and still ended up naming their kid "Hot Wheels" or whatever. This kind of crap happens all the time, like this boyfriend who wanted to name his baby after a character from Twilight.

Sure, puns aren't exactly the height of comedy. In fact it's pretty normal to hate them. From the groan-tastic to the dad-tier, there are all sorts of dumb and clever puns to feel stupid about. Sometimes you need a break from humor that has a "premise" or "intelligent point" and you just want a bundle of puns to fill that wordplay hole.

As smart as you might think you are, you an always accidentally bite into a super heated pizza roll and lose your own self respect in between the dabbing of hot grease and yelping. At least injuring oneself in a stupid way is a basically universal experience. For some real dullards, here are some facepalm moments from the world's beacons of stupid.
