Dad jokes are simply the best. They capture the innocence, stupidity and hilarity of so many situations and unintentionally are much like dads, comforting, clumsy and a bit lacking in self-awareness. But that is why we love them. So today we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the genius jokes that our forefathers have handed down to us, and to remind us of some of the comedy gold that has been shared through the years.

And sure, there is a decent chance that our generation's dad jokes will not pass to the next, at least so long as they are not uploaded to TikTok. But that does not mean that we cannot take them out for one more spin. And who knows, maybe dogs will learn to talk soon and we will be able to pass our jokes along to them instead of our hooman kids.

  • Well, when the excitement runs out in life, it is important to find ways to make the mundane magical. And if you have spent your whole life obsessing over heist movies, then probably the best thing you could do is install a museum-esque motion-sensor light to make every trip to the fridge feel like a great escape.

    Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field.
    via dadsaysjokes

  • We love this one not so much for its comedy genius, but because scarecrows truly are outstanding, and even more specifically outstanding in their field of expertise. And you know what, they simply do not get enough recognition. As far as we are concerned the pun is just a bonus, but seriously, someone give this scarecrow an award.
