letting the audience know that something is in fact, deadly serious and not to be taken lightly. a couple of words typically can be ridden over, trotted on, largely ignored, but no joke lets you know that this is time to pay attention and bring out your notepad
I'd love to grab lunch but I just checked their menu and their prices are no joke. $32 for enchiladas, are you serious

Corny/cheesy jokes that fathers share with their children. They are often criticised by people who don't want to admit that some dad jokes are actually pretty good or they don't understand the concept of dad jokes. For the most part, those who say "dAd JoKeS aRe NoT fUnNy" do not realise that the whole shtick is that the jokes are so predictable and dry that in a way it is hilarious.
Dad: I built a car comprised of ravioli, but my sista didn't believe me until I drove pasta.
The snobby son: Oh wait I forgot to laugh. Wait no I didn't, I didn't laugh because it's another one of your lame dad jokes 🙄
Dad: You're too young to understand the concept my boy.

This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to
"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"
Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke
Guy 2: What happened?
