What is a dad joke?
A dad joke is a short, clean joke that relies on a pun or obvious play on words. They're typically wholesome, family-friendly, and intentionally corny — the kind of joke that makes you groan and laugh at the same time.
The term comes from the stereotypical humor of fathers who love telling cheesy one-liners. Classic example: "I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down."
Dad jokes are "bad" on purpose — that's what makes them good. The humor comes from the obvious pun, the predictable punchline, and the groan-worthy delivery. The worse the joke, the better the reaction.
