Dad jokes are the jazz music of humor – they’re improvisational, a little cheesy, but there’s a complex brilliance to their simplicity that can’t be denied. Sure, they’re not always a hit, but when they do strike a chord, you find yourself snapping your fingers to the rhythm of their wit.
They’re the double bass in the orchestra of laughter, easy to overlook but deeply foundational. They may not be the flashiest instruments, but they’re the ones you miss when they’re gone. This week, we’ve dived into the musical maze of r/DadJokes to present you a lineup that’s less Woodstock, more “Wood you mind not telling that joke again?”
So kick off your shoes, get comfortable in that La-Z-Boy recliner you claim “still has a few good years left,” and prepare to facepalm your way through our curated anthology of this week’s top dad jokes and memes. These are the ones that don’t just age like fine wine; they age like that mystery cheese in the back of your fridge: surprisingly well, but you’re not quite sure if you should be impressed or concerned.
