34 Puns and Dad Jokes That Are Unstoppably Cringeworthy

There's something magical—and slightly mysterious—that happens when a child is born. Mothers gain a new appreciation for life, grandmothers start swapping out cookie tins for sewing kits, and fathers? Fathers are hit with an inexplicable shift in their sense of humor. Suddenly, bad jokes and groan-inducing puns become their comedic bread and butter.

It's as if a dad's genetic makeup rewires itself to find the lamest, most eye-roll-worthy jokes absolutely hilarious. And once the "dad joke" transformation is complete, no waiter, cashier, or repair person is safe from their relentless quips. "Oh, you've got a ladder? Guess you're going to new heights today!" Classic.

Whether you're a dad, have a dad, or are just a fan of jokes that make you laugh and cringe simultaneously, this list of 34 puns and dad jokes is for you. Brace yourself for punchlines that might make you facepalm—but also might secretly make your day.
