bad jokes

Listen. We're all about clever humor and sharp wit. But sometimes nothing is quite as satisfying as an incredibly dumb dad joke, or a cringeworthy pun. This gallery is filled with both. May the memes help your inner-dad tingle with joy. 

We've all seen these incredibly dumb memes (known as "Kid Named X") floating around the internet lately that elicit a colossal amount of eye-rolling. But at the same time, we sure do love them for their cleverness. 

If you like 'em too, fear not, because there are loads more examples on both Know Your Meme and /r/DankMemes!

Remember those Walking Dead dad joke memes that were popular what seems like forever ago? Well Rick Grimes has officially handed his corny ass crown over to Chris Evans' Captain America. These dad joke memes have been popping up all over Reddit and Instagram, and while they're definitely groan-worthy it's a take on Marvel memes that we're not upset about. The format is a mashup of scenes from 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier and last year's Avengers: Endgame, and it works really well as a template for punishing dad jokes. We've put together the latest and greatest in this gallery, but you can read more about the format and grab the versatile template over at Know Your Meme.

We feature a lot of extremely funny stuff on this site, but the sad reality is that for every funny meme that exists, there are at least ten that are painfully cringey. This could mean a number of things: the joke just doesn't make sense, the spelling is flawed, or it's wildly offensive. Whatever the case, we put this batch of cringe together for meme masochists like ourselves. Because you're worth it.

We gotta hand it to the dads out there, who try so hard to make us laugh with terrible jokes. They may be incredibly groan-worthy, but at least we know they mean well! Now here are some memes and posts you can share with your dad, or anyone who appreciates a good dad joke.

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.

These memes are here for when you just can't stand watching paint dry any more. We've got your back with memes, because we're pretty sure that memes are a hell of a lot better than whatever you were doing.

Do you like terrible jokes that make you groan? If so, you might be a dad. Hell, even if you're not a dad, we think you'll enjoy these funny memes that utilize the worst-possible jokes just for your dumb enjoyment. Keep in mind, we have to sift through and read all of these. We hope you're happy.
