You know what I’m talking about… those knee-slapping dad jokes that your father insists on telling. Or that you insist on telling (if you happen to be the Dad in this particular situation).

Stay with us, and by the end, you might even find yourself chuckling at a joke that’s so bad, it’s simply the best.
But Not Every Corny Joke Counts as True & Proper Dad Jokes
There are certain prerequisites before something gets properly classified as a Dad Joke.
- First, the joke needs to be told by a Dad. Otherwise, it’s just a bad joke.
- Secondly, it has to be amusing, but somewhat corny. Just like your dad.
- Lastly, your Dad (or you as the Dad) has to find it absolutely hilarious, even if the audience does not agree.
After all, not everyone is a big fan of this particular brand of comedy gold. It may seem unreasonable to many, but some people simply don’t appreciate a well-timed, punny comment. But that’s what some of the best dad jokes are really all about!
Generally (but not always) inoffensive, the best dad jokes bring back a simpler time in your family’s life, when the younger members would laugh at practically anything the patriarch would say PLUS they offer the opportunity to embarrass the ever-living crap out of grown children when they should be too old to care.
So, in other words, they are the absolute best thing… EVER!
But don’t take my word for it. We’ve pulled together a MASSIVE collection of 111 of the Best / Worst Dad Jokes, and created memes out of them. Because sometimes we sit on the ground, wrap our arms around our knees, and then lean forward… that’s just how we roll!
And – like live & in-person Dad Jokes – they get better and better the more often you read them, tell them, share them, and read them again.
We’ve pulled together some of the very best dad jokes, aka the most groan-worthy of the bunch, and are giving you two options to enjoy them. Text and Meme. We’re kind and thoughtful that way!
Why Did We Create These As Memes, You Ask?
Ok, maybe you didn’t ask. But we’re going to answer anyway.
It’s undeniable; dad jokes have their own unique charm. Whether it’s a clever one-liner or witty wordplay, these jokes have a special way of making you roll your eyes and yet manage to pull a good chuckle out of you. Now, take this irresistible joke-telling phenomenon and combine it with the digital world’s colorful and engaging funny memes. What do you get? The best (or perhaps the worst, depending on your sense of humor) of two worlds.
Like dad jokes, memes can be a lot of fun, they can be easy to share by email, social media, or your own blog (and we would be super happy if you did any or all of those things). For example, we shared a bunch on our Facebook Page, and they got a lot of laughs. Memes are far easier to read than basic text on a white screen.
Let’s delve into why this fusion is so brilliant:
A Picture’s Worth a Thousand Groans
You’ve heard the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” right? Well, in the world of dad jokes, a meme is worth a thousand groans. The combination of visual elements with the silly and cringe-worthy nature of a classic dad joke amplifies the humor. The memes add a layer of context and personality to the one-liner, making it all the more relatable and amusing.
Memes Are Even Better with Dad Jokes
Memes are a digital treasure of our times. They capture moments, emotions, and thoughts in a simple and humorous way. Now, add the magic of a dad joke to the mix, and memes are even more captivating. The way a well-placed image can enhance a silly one-liner’s impact is nothing short of brilliant. It’s like adding a cherry on top of an already delightful dessert.
Plus, it makes for this really cool, checkers-like layout, which is really fun! It’s like funny home decor, only on your computer screen.
Save and share your favorites with your Dad this Father’s Day. (Pssst… Dads…. this is also a great source for some much-needed new material. Just saying.)
ENJOY!
