26 Dad Jokes That Are So Borderline Bad and Embarrassing They Are Almost Too Hilarious to Ignore
If there's one thing that dad jokes are famous for, it's how insufferably bad they are; but that doesn't stop them from being embarrassingly hilarious.
Dad jokes are one of the best highlights of Internet memes in the 21st century, and for good reason. If there's one thing a typical father is good at, it's making his kids and wife laugh with these corny, groan-inducing, pun-filled jokes and one-liners that will either make you facepalm or laugh at how bad they are.
But that's the beauty of it: dad jokes are so borderline uncool and cringe-worthy that it's almost impossible to decide whether to laugh or grimace. These jokes have standards in their own league, and as horrible and cringe-worthy as they may be, they certainly provide a way to turn a moment from miserable to miserably funny.
They are so peculiarly and weirdly funny that it's impossible to stifle a laugh or two!
It seems like these jokes are a rite of passage for every man on his way to or already in fatherhood. Most of these terrible one-liners are recognized by their lameness, cheesiness overload, horrible puns, and the classic response they elicit: "Daaaaaaad!"
Even those who have yet to reach fatherhood seem to catch on to the trend, too. Bad jokes are now generally labeled as dad jokes because they are so bad that they are good!
Come to think of it, the only difference between a bad joke and a dad joke is just "b" and "d." Only a few things in life are so bad that they are satisfyingly but terribly good—and dad jokes are surely at the top of that list.
