There are some really brilliant comedians out there today. John Mulaney. Maria Bamford. Your dad. What? Yes, that is correct. Dads, in all their dad glory, are the funniest human beings on the planet. The funniest thing about dads is how funny they think they are. Dad jokes have become a phenomenon for a reason, that reason being that they are hilarious. Some dads take up the mantel of dad-ness with a level of pride that is actually super admirable.
They are so proud of their dad status that it is sort of like they were waiting their whole life to become a dad just so they could start making the dad jokes they had always dreamed of making. The dads featured in this list should honestly be in the dad hall of fame. Chances are your dad has done at least one of the things on this list. It’s like all dads have a dad joke code that they live by. I’m just glad we all get to witness the genius.
Dads really do have an incredibly strong brand.
When you see a dad, you can recognize him immediately. Maybe it’s the New Balance sneakers or the twinkle in his eye…
Shopping at Hollister
Maybe it’s the headlamp he uses to shop in Hollister. What? It’s too dark in there!
Burrito diaper
Oh my gosh, every burrito should be served like this. This is genius! This would solve all leaky burrito problems.
Heater rules
Dads don’t understand that you don’t have to torture yourself in the cold. The heat exists for a reason. Use it!
Step ladder
This is such a good dad joke that it makes me a little mad. I know I’ll never be a dad, so I’ll never come up with a joke this good.
Tiny Crocs
This picture is so funny I can’t look at it for too long, otherwise, I scream with delight. Tiny dog Crocs! Come on!
Mr. Bean
This is terrifying. My roommates and I had a Michelle Obama cutout and a Robert Downey Jr. from Sherlock Holmes cutout in college, and we used to do the same thing. So scary.
Guitar protection
Your kid can poop their pants. Whatever. At least your guitar is safe. Such a dad thing to do.
Left a note
Dads are always leaving notes claiming that they’ve been abducted by aliens. This is a real boy-who-cried-wolf situation. When it really happens, you won’t believe him!
Punny
Dad with the scientific work puns. But actually, should he be barefoot around all that acid? I’m concerned for his safety.
AA meeting
Get it? Because they are AA batteries. This is one of those dad jokes where you roll your eyes, but you still can’t help but laugh.
Apple watch
Dads often put in an obscene amount of effort to pull off their dad jokes, and that’s why they are so good.
Highlighters
Aw, dads. I love it when they’re genuinely trying to be helpful but they literally don’t understand what everyone’s talking about.
Halloween costume
This is simultaneously great and terrifying. He clearly loves his cat so much since he made an exact replica of his face.
New skin
Raise your hand if your dad just buys new versions of the exact same clothing items when they get old and ratty. Yeah, I thought so.
Martini dog
This is super funny, but I can’t help but think it’s a little cruel to dangle a tennis ball inches from the dog’s face like that.
Patty’s protective goggles
This is possibly the best picture I have ever seen in my entire life. I don’t know what else to say about it. It’s perfect.
Reluctant pup owner
This is so real. My dad was not a fan of getting a dog. Cut to a month later and they’re both falling asleep snuggling each other.
