Get the Dad Joke mug.
A joke (typically a play on words) that is loaded with cheese and is lacking in originality and comedic value. Dad jokes are most often performed by people who have lost their way in the fields of comedy due to years of strenuous fatherhood and laboring in the workforce.

While it is possible for a dad joke to be genuinely enjoyable, the odds of that happening are slim to none.
