Understanding Dad Jokes

A dad joke is a short joke, usually a pun, that's so groan-worthy it's actually funny.

Jokes are selected entirely in your browser — nothing is ever sent to a server.

Why We Groan (and Laugh Anyway)

Dad jokes rely on wordplay and predictable structure — the humor comes as much from how corny the pun is as from the pun itself, which is part of why they tend to get an eye-roll and a laugh at the same time.
