The ultimate dad jokes

The struggle is real, but the memes are realer.

All kinds of funny

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…

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.

The fear of sneezing on a stranger, leakin…

Hi Hungry, I'm Dad

The perfect man for the job.

The internet can get an individual into a pretty sticky situation if they aren't careful. One minute you're innocently checking your work inbox and the next you're three years deep into your ex's Instagram, very carefully trying not to accidentally "like" any thirst traps even though you're creeping them from a burner account like an expert stalker. "Who am I?" you ask yourself as the palpable shame permeates your entire being. It wasn't always this way. Before the internet, people sat around a…

She doesn't know why she has a house phone, she doesn't even know the number to it, but boy is she having some fun with it.
