For Father’s Day 2024, Fox News Digital gathered an array of “dad jokes” shared by our own father figures and others on social media. Dad jokes are more than funny jokes that happen to be told by men with kids. They walk a razor-thin line between wit and dumb humor, equal parts cheesy and hilarious, according to Fatherly.com, a New York-based lifestyle blog for parents.
“A great dad joke is almost always a variation on the pun — a punchline that’s both super ridiculous and cerebrally obscure.”
