Dad Jokes

Annoying jokes your dad tells you. At one point you probably thought they were very funny, but not anymore. Now he just tells you them because he misses the old you and wishes he could go back to the good old days.
These dad jokes are very unfunny.

I'm worried about my dad. He keeps telling me dad jokes and sighing.

Joke

Something funny. Literally anything it doesn't even have to be funny to be funny.

read to the bottom of this post for a joke.

A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is not meant to be taken seriously. It takes the form of a story, usually with dialogue, and ends in a punch line. It is in the punch line that the audience becomes aware that the story contains a second, conflicting meaning. This can be done using a pun or other word play such as irony, a logical incompatibility, nonsense, or other means. Linguist Robert Hetzron offers the definition:

Identified as one of the simple forms of oral literature by the Dutch linguist André Jolles (de),2 jokes are passed along anonymously. They are told in both private and public settings; a single person tells a joke to his friend in the natural flow of conversation, or a set of jokes is told to a group as part of scripted entertainment. Jokes are also passed along in written form or, more recently, through the internet.

Stand-up comics, comedians and slapstick work with comic timing, precision and rhythm in their performance, relying as much on actions as on the verbal punchline to evoke laughter. This distinction has been formulated in the popular saying "A comic says funny things; a comedian says things funny".

You read the whole thing.
