Have you been having a bad day? Are things not going how they should? If so, the remedy to your sadness may be found in a hilarious dad joke.
Since the beginning of time, fathers, grandfathers, and uncles have been trying to make their kids laugh with hilarious jokes that only a son or daughter could understand. While many dad jokes are considered too corny to be funny, there is some humor in almost all of them, even if you likely won’t fall on the floor laughing. Since there have been many over the years, we’ll share the 50 best dad jokes.
The beauty of dad jokes is that you can make a humorous observation or play on words about almost any subject. There are tons of dad jokes about animals, like sheep who drive cars or the spider that’s so smart because it can look everything up on the web. There are also great jokes about sports, like how the football coach went to the bank to get his quarterback. Don’t forget about the knee-slappers about celebrities, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Will Smith. Finally, there are plenty of puns to go around, such as the fact that professionals learn to make banana splits at sundae school.
Since there are so many dad jokes out there, 24/7 Tempo had to do a lot of research to find the best of the best. We looked at websites like Reddit, Reader’s Digest, and, of course, Men’s Health. Then, we looked at the comments under many articles to learn new jokes from the general public that we had never heard before. We hope you enjoy what we found.
