bad puns

Ever notice that when you're really, really bored your standards get lower? We're not talking about dating here (though sometimes that's true, too). We're talking about meme consumption. After a certain point wading through life's tedium, any meme will do. This collection is for those moments. It's a mix of dumb memes, old memes, and fresh memes of varying quality. They might not be the funniest tidbits you've ever seen, but they definitely beat staring at a wall. 

These days, meme formats can get pretty nuanced and referential. Sometimes you're just not in the mood for those complex memes that have you googling for a crumb of context, which is totally understandable. That's why we've put together this modest list full of bad puns, dad jokes, and amusing absurdity. Get ready, 'cause we've got a whole lot of silly humor coming your way with this impressive mound of mad memes.

You certainly don't have to be a dad to enjoy the art of the Dad Joke. Dad jokes do not discriminate - if you enjoy hearing people groan and seeing them roll their eyes when you tell a joke then congratulations, you're ready to be an honorary dad! Now all you need to do is use the following memes as inspiration!

Sometimes we're all just in the mood for a good old punny dad joke. You know, the kind that makes you roll your eyes all the way into the back of your head. These Twitter memes featuring a terrible pun above an image of Spongebob running away are perfect for that.

As if parenting wasn't already a slightly-gratifying nightmare, the quarantine and home-schooling are making it increasingly difficult to stay sane. If you're suddenly feeling more violent and frustrated than usual, you're not alone. Raising kids is already a full time job. Now there's almost zero time to take care of yourselves. The good news is that you're not alone. And these amusing memes about the trials and tribulations of parenthood are pretty great proof. If you're lucky, they may even elicit a rare laugh from your exhausted body.

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. 

For those of us who aren't professional comics, attaining perfect comedic timing and delivery is a moment to be relished and appreciated. Unfortunately for the Redditors taking part in this thread, their brilliance went woefully unnoticed. We're here to bring them the glory that they so deserve.
