10 Punny Dad Jokes That Will Make You Laugh — And Cringe

Two men in separate frames. One is telling a bad dad joke and the other is laughing at a bad dad joke.

They say a joke is all in the delivery of the punch line. Somehow, that gets lost in translation regarding typical “dad” jokes. We’ve heard them all, but a new one hits us like an errant baseball bat swung with wanton abandon. We find ourselves doing that familiar groan-laugh combination and trying desperately to make it stop.

We scoured the internet and found some of the punniest dad jokes for you. They are almost guaranteed to make you do that gritty-teeth smile and mutter, “That was so funny I forgot to laugh!” When you finish, you’ll be singing the song “Make It Stop” from Disney’s Teen Beach Movie!
