How to Tell a Total Dad Joke
Warning: This page may cause spontaneous laughter, eye-rolling, or spontaneous combustion.
Step 1: Start with a setup that's totally not a setup.
- Example: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" (No, seriously, it's not that kind of joke.)
Step 2: Add a punchline that's completely unrelated.
- Example: "Because it was wearing a watch!"
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2, but with a slightly different tone.
- Example: "Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it was a chicken, duh!"
Step 4: Serve with a side of sarcasm.
- Example: "Oh, you're still not getting it?"
Go back and try again, but this time with more eye-rolling.
Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, try the 'Puddle of Despair' technique.
