What makes a dad joke isn't just the fact that it is often lame, but rather a dad joke is told souly for the entertainment of the teller (dad) and not the audience.
My dad didn't notice me in the room and just tested a stud finder on himself, beeped, said it worked, and laughed with nobody else around him. Typical dad joke

Jokes told by a lot of dads that may may been funny years or decades ago but have grown "tired" over time. Examples include "Caddy Shack" or "Borat" bits. Dads typically have a static repertoire of these jokes they have been perfecting for years.

Child: Hey Dad, I'm hungry!
Father: Hi hungry, I'm Dad.
Child: That's the worst and most overused dad joke.

The kind of shitty jokes that the famed Twitter user, Bahman Begins is known to put out on a regular basis; which are literally lame and uninspired and extremely cringy.
Bahman: Enters the chat/room
Everybody: Oh shit. Dad joke just made his entrance. I'm outtie. Fuck this shit. Nope. Peace out!
