clever

When a dad opens his mouth, it's unclear if whatever comes out is gonna be pure gold, or just the dumbest thing you've ever heard. Dad jokes run the gamut of stupid to great, and they run it hard. If these devastating dad jokes are even a little bit of an indication what a dad joke can be, we're in for a rollercoaster of dadness.

It's no question that puns are a sometimes food. When the human mind isn't ready for a sackful of puns to spill all over, they just become grating and horrible. But a well timed joke or an expertly dropped dad joke can turn frowns all sorts of directions. Puns are like a pizza or a baby. It's all about the delivery.

For most people, dating is about being suave and trying to subtly insinuate how much money you make. But for the rest of us, it's all about how many bone-shatteringly clever and stupid puns you can shoehorn into a short conversation. And if someone mentions that they have an out-of-the-ordinary job? All aboard the pun train, choo choo. Tinder is known to get some cheesy and stupid moments, but hey man everyone's doing their best. For fans of wordplay and cleverness, here are technically accurate moments that aren't exactly wrong.

In this confusing and unclear world of ours, there are generally more opportunities for us to be technically correct about something than actually factually accurate. That would involve learning. Who wants that when you could just scoop some of that good old wit out of your brain cavity and call it technically accurate and not totally wrong.

Shoutout to @KeatonPatti for the beautiful work on the captions with these various treasures from the antiques roadshow. They're absolutely inaccurate, but still seem like they could be on point at the same time. Now that is art. 

Sure, complex humor is probably better for your brain, but sometimes life calls for a motherload of devastating dad jokes to sweep in and get puns everywhere. They may very well be stupid and tacky, but they're the dangerously dadly dad jokes we know and tolerate. Some may be painful, but they are always sort of rewarding.

Sometimes it can feel like the universe itself is throwing you a bone, when you happen upon a long-term loophole. Loopholes are basically cheats codes in real life. These folks were able to exploit their respective loopholes for way longer than they should've been able to. For some, they're still somehow getting away with their sneaky antics. That free burger loophole sounds way too clutch. A true shame they got rid of that. 

In this world of structure and rigid expectations, nothing hits the spot quite like mad lads who play by their own rules. We spend so much time and energy following the humdrum of daily life that seeing someone go out of their way to do something stupid, weird or clever is a breath of fresh air. These mad lads played the game their way.

We live in a results oriented society. Who has the time and patience for things like "factual accuracy" when something can be basically technically accurate? Sure, an assertion may be flawed or sort of inaccurate but at least it can be saved by its own cleverness. These technically correct moments aren't exactly wrong.

Sure, we're supposed to respectfully acknowledge public art and statues of great minds and such. That said, if there's a statue of Lewis and Clark that looks even a little bit of a photo opportunity, you better believe people are gonna get up in there. For some images that turned one thing into something else, here are some double take inducing photos of skewed perspective.

There is a right time for puns and there is a wrong time for puns, and now is the time to let the dad jokes flow freely. These puns are reeking of such dadness that they belong on a minivan road trip to a lawnmower festival. These sackfuls of puns might have you regretting wordplay and looking completely dad in the eyes.

Dad jokes are a source of stupid glee and pinch-faced frustration for anyone who dares face a dad. Many of us have our reservations about dumb puns to feel stupid about, but at the end of the day if they're worthy of a dad's grace, then that's a quality pun. Dad jokes have a tendency to go full dad joke.

Oh boy, look out, we're back at it again with some fresh rare insults and clever comebacks. The internet has plenty of examples of people getting into ridiculous verbal battles where they roast each other to oblivion, with insults we've already heard many times before. What we enjoy most is those examples of people hitting the drawing board, and really thinking outside of the box before they drop the spicy insult that destroys its recipient. 

Uh oh, we're back at it again with a fresh round of spicy, clever comebacks that just nailed it. As long as the world's had social media, we've had people butting heads online over the most trivial of matters. Well, there are the trivial matters, and then there are the careless, impossibly foolish human beings of the world that really had it coming all along. 

If there's one thing that makes us feel less stupid than we actually are, it's our ability to be technically accurate. Sure, being technically correct about something doesn't make us any smarter, but it helps us further avoid the fact that we know way less than we think. Man is that comforting, just kicking your own stupid-can down the road.
