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!

It's sort of adorable seeing parents learn how to text, and given that they weren't raised in a time with ample access to technology, we applaud them for even trying. They may make a lot of mistakes along the way that we can laugh at, but at the end of the day, they're just trying to connect with you!

There's a little dad in all of us. Laughing at terrible, terrible jokes. Secretly wanting to wear socks and sandals. Looking at lawn mowers with dreamy eyes. And most of all, wanting to make bad jokes at every opportunity. Well today is your lucky day, because we've got a list of really bad jokes to be memorized and repeated at inappropriate times. Go and make your dad proud. 

We complain about our families a lot - from the trope of the dreaded mother-in-law to sibling rivalry. Some of these relationships are as bad or worse than the stereotypes, but a lot of the time we're just so lucky to be around these people who love us unconditionally. We're even more grateful for all the hilarity that our funny families provide us with for free.

It's no secret that dads have a very special sense of humor; they have an entire category of jokes named after them! These tweets and moments are proof that their skill isn't dying down any time soon. And thank god for that, because we couldn't handle just having good jokes to make us laugh. We need the bad jokes. Bad jokes are the best kind of jokes and everyone knows it, especially dads. 

Nothing says "Christmas" like a prank that's been in the works for over a year. Especially when it's pulled on one's father. Londoner Judy Brownexperienced the true spirit of Christmas yesterday when her hard work and prank strategizing paid off. The tale is absolutely glorious.

The struggle is real, y'all. But sometimes it's worth it. 

We've been enjoying Twitter's parenting jokes for some time - and today we've added some "kidding" moments for a little balance. Parents say the darndest things!
