Redditors Tell Their Best 'Dad Jokes'

By Petr Knava | reddit | January 3, 2017 |

Look, it’s Tuesday. We’re all back at work now. Most of us are hungover. Sometimes a stupid self-loathing chuckle is what’s needed at times like this. Reddit has a few threads and subs full of ‘dad jokes’. Here, feast on some of the ‘best’:

Ok, next time you’re buying milk from the grocery store do the following:

Cashier: Would you like the milk in a bag?

Me: Nah, just leave it in the carton.

I love that joke so much. Also, I don’t know if this next one counts:

A polar bear walks into a bar. The bartender says “What can I get you?” The Polar bear says “Hmmm (at this point, stay entirely silent for a long time, until the people you were telling the joke to think they just didn’t get it and move on in the conversation, then break into the conversation like the following) A beer!” The bartender says to the polar bear (hold up hands, palms facing out) “Why the long paws?”

Mikeinabox:

My dad does this every time we go out to eat.

Dad: “No, but I’ll wrestle ya for it!”

Me: Be careful standing near those trees.

My daughter: Why? The sky is clear, there’s no chance of lightning.

Me: I don’t know really, they just look kind of shady to me.

jaredog:

Me: Dad, I fell down and scraped my knee.

Dad: Don’t do that, it hurts.

cmonguysimatwork:

Every time I fell down as a kid, my dad would be right there spreading his arms yelling “SAFE!” like an umpire.

Every. Single. Time.

Me: This medicine smells of Thyme ( the herb ).

Dad: Oh really? I can’t smell it.

Me: Yeah. Maybe your nose is blocked. I look over at dad

Dad: Is sniffing his watch

At a restaurant Waitress: “sorry about your wait”

Every damn time.

Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way you’re a mile away and you’ve got their shoes.

And lest we forget:

‘Take care that you do not CHOKE on your aspirations, director.’
