Dad Joke

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.

'I'm hungry' "Hi hungry, I'm dad!" 'Dope dad joke bro I'm gonna go dig my own grave real quick thanks for that.'

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.

Any time someone mentions New York Italians the Dad Joke in response may be "fuhgeddaboudit."
