It seems that one of the most challenging aspects of being a father is getting a genuine laugh out of your kids. It's as if children are conditioned to be embarrassed by the very utterance of words in public from their fathers. Even when dads crack the occasionally great joke (which, in and of itself, is admittedly a rare occurrence), most kids stifle laughter. At best, they have trouble suppressing the slightest guffaw. For a dad, that slightest guffaw means the world. In fact, it says so much…

Now that Thanksgiving is around the corner, it's time to prepare yourself for some dad jokes. Perhaps your father is inclined to make the cheesiest, most cringeworthy remarks around the dinner table every year. If that's the case, then you need to start bracing yourselves now (mentally, emotionally, and spiritually). Or perhaps you're the Dad in this situation, and you're looking for some new jokes you found online to recite as your own to your kids with the hopes of earning even the slightest…

Seasons may change but Dads will always be the same. Whether you're in elementary school or you just got off of your parent's health insurance, you probably still cringe at your father's jokes, especially at the dinner table. Don't you just want to eat your meatballs in peace and not have to hear some strangely outdated, guffaw-inducing wordplay? Perhaps in theory, but the older you get, the more you come to appreciate those moments even if they're not exactly funny jokes. Perhaps you're on the…

Oof, this dad has taken his prized dad joke too far this time. Begging your parents for expensive presents is an acquired skill. It takes time to learn how to butter your parents up before asking for that gaming console that costs a few hundred bucks. You've got to wait for a relaxed moment when they aren't cooking or cleaning (or telling you to cook or clean). Then you've got to broach the subject cautiously, and explain all the benefits of this gaming console. Depending on your parents, you m…

The old man was warned! It's funny how in every family, there are certain events with each family member has a completely different recollection of the sequence of events. Sure, perspective is obviously a subjective phenomenon, but facts are also facts. In this case, this Redditor's father very clearly lost his own wrench, but the old man wound up convincing himself that his son was responsible. Of course, as with all recurring conversations within family dynamics, the son got frustrated by thi…

Father's Day is the day to let your dad be his weird, crazy self. To all the fathers out there who feel like Father's Day is somehow always an afterthought, in truth, it's the opportunity to get away with all the lame jokes and bad habits you have that typically result in nothing more than an eye-roll from your partner and children. It's the one day out of the entire year when they really can't say or do anything about it. It would be a shame to not take advantage of the albeit temporary power…

It's not easy being a father… sometimes, cheesy humor is the best that you can do. And let's be honest: after your childhood and teenage years of being constantly embarrassed by literally anything your dad says, perhaps your adult years should be about appreciating all the typically eye-roll-inducing moments. Because whether or not we wanted to admit it when we were kids, every so often, dad jokes will make you involuntarily guffaw. Even if you try to stop yourself from laughing because you're…

Sometimes, you have to give your dad the benefit of the doubt. Most of the time, he is just trying to get a rise out of you, so don't be too annoyed when his humor doesn't exactly land. He's trying. Much like Ken from Barbie , he's just Dad. This one goes out to all the fathers who are just trying to be more than the chauffeur who takes his kids to soccer practice. He knows his role but he wants to find a little bit of agency by cracking a corny joke he's been workshopping in his head over the…

These people technically told the truth, and that's what counts. We all love a good dad joke, and the internet has a seemingly endless supply. There are people who are overly literal, and there are also those who can't resist annoying people with their goofy senses of humor. Check out these hilarious “technically true” moments below. Then, read about some of the worst concerts these people have ever been to, like one over-booked show where only a quarter of the audience could see the screen .

It may be a new year, but dads will always be dads. Everyone may want to pretend that they don't love a dad joke, but there is something to be said for the number of times we guffawed while compiling this list. Here's the thing about what dad jokes produce. It's never loud laughter. It's never a cackle. But there is value in a guffaw. A guffaw is almost involuntary, and because we are often socialized to roll our eyes at dad jokes, the fact that these jokes provoked a guffaw out of us shows the…

Imagine having a smaller you that doesn't speak coherently, breaks everything you own, and is always sticky. And then imagine how much you love that little guy or girl! Yeah, that's what being a dad is like. You always have to run after your smart and courageous little critters, as they are basically pure balls of energy. Curious, fearless, and always there, for better or for worse. When you have kids, you can FEEL your hair getting grey. You definitely grow older a lot faster, or at least, tha…

Part of being a Dad means falling flat on your face a million times over and getting back up to do it all over again. On the other hand, part of having a Dad means getting embarrassed a million times over, only to have it happen all over again the next day. Yet somehow, Dad Jokes operate in that strange space where fathers have a chance to get away with being annoying, and, on special occasions, they may even make their kids crack a smile. Now, of course, their kids won't actually admit that th…
