Dad jokes. The phrase probably just made you groan and roll your eyes a little.
The dad joke is an overly familiar pun, cliche, gag, or prank that would sort of amuse a three-year-old. But somewhere along the journey to adulthood, when kids develop a sense of irony, the dad joke becomes endearing and fuzzy-funny, kind of like Billy Crystal.
Here are some of the best-worst dad jokes we were able to collect. Why “best-worst?” With dad jokes there is no way of distinguishing one from the other.
Dad, I’m thirsty.
Well I’m John — nice to meet ya.
Hey, I was thinking —

You’re a pretty fart smella.
You got something on your shirt, there … BOOP!
How about some cheese to go with that whine?
Yelled from the opposite end of a crowded grocery store aisle:
“Hey, Amanda! Your probation officer called!
He farts.
Did someone step on a duck?
He rips one — silent but deadly.
“Do you smell that?”
Unsuspecting, you inhale in search of a smell. And you find it.
Hey dad, you want a piece of cake?
Is the back side of a hog made of pork?
Let’s make like a tree and leaf.
