Wondering what a dad joke is? Dad jokes are those corny jokes, usually based on puns, that dads love to tell. You know, the ones that make you groan and say, “Oh, Dad!” but secretly you are laughing because, hey – they’re pretty funny!

The best part about these dad jokes is that they are super funny, but also clean and appropriate for kids.
