Dad humor is timeless

All kinds of funny

Revenge is best served 20 years later

It doesn't take a dad to tell a good dad joke. Sure, any given father has a base selection of pun-laden dad jokes to employ as needed, but cheesy wordplay is for everyone! Even if it's groanworthy, who doesn't like a dad joke ? My father was chock full of weirdly complex dad jokes. Sure, I understood them as I grew up and gained a better understanding of language, but my six-year-old self had trouble comprehending a lot of the puns . At the time, it just seemed like my dad would just say outlan…

Classic dad move

Hot tip: When getting unsolicited parenting advice, tune them out by scrolling through funny parenting memes.

It's weird how your relationship with your parents changes once you have kids. Before you get the job of mommy or daddy , you think you understand why your parents made the choices they did, and you have strong opinions about said choices. Once you have kids, those opinions completely change. You start to understand why your parents were the way they were during your childhood. When you're getting the kind of sleep you get when you have a baby, you understand why your mom didn't want to play wi…

It's all about asserting dominance.

Kids are such naturals

Laughter is medicine for the soul

Dad jokes are basically my favorite kind of joke. First, you don't have to be a Dad to tell them. My friend Jonathon is the most consistent purveyor of the specific type of humor, and peppers our hangouts with some seriously Dad-worthy riffs. I think it's because he's Canadian. Second, while not everyone will laugh at a dad joke, they usually have the ability to elicit a healthy eye roll, groan, or scoff once they've been told, and where jokes are concerned, even a minor reaction is satisfying.…

Hi meme, I'm dad

Not all dads are created equal. And not all dads are technically dads . See, while some Dads stay up late to help with homework, or teaching their progeny to shoot hoops (or paper into a trashcan), there are those who can be considered nothing short of distant. There are also those who aren't in the picture. So in this sense, some moms are dads, and then there are the grandpas who are “dads” to their grandkids. So the thing is, “dad humor” as we know it can never be solely for the fathers that…

Stephen Sondheim said the following in his Pulitzer Prize winning musical Sunday in the Park with George. “There are only two worthwhile things to leave behind when you depart this world of ours: children and art.” Of course, this is not an objective fact. You could argue that there are many worthwhile things you leave behind when you die that go beyond those two rigid categories.

Parents love to document every milestone their kid reaches. A child's first steps, first word, and first day of school are all recorded carefully by their mom and dad so they can relive that memory for years to come. However, the most memorable moments of a kid's life usually happen when the cameras aren't around. When I was a kid, I wore my parents down so much one night by asking them endless questions about the biology of conjoined twins. Obviously, they didn't have extensive knowledge of th…
