25 Puns and Dad Jokes That Are So Bad, They’re Perfect

I've always had a soft spot for terrible puns and those groan-worthy dad jokes that make you laugh and cringe at the same time. Honestly, the cringe is part of the appeal. The perfect dad joke strikes this magical balance: it's funny enough to get a chuckle, but dumb enough to make the person laughing instantly regret it. That's the sweet spot of dad humor - when the reaction is a mix of "Ha!" and "Why did I just laugh at that?"

Take, for instance, classics like, "Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts." It's objectively dumb, but come on - you smiled a little, didn't you? Or what about, "I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down." You know it's bad, but you still kind of love it. That's the magic of dad jokes: they're universal, timeless, and unapologetically silly.

These 25 puns and dad jokes are here to brighten your day and make you groan in equal measure. So, get ready to laugh, roll your eyes, and maybe even steal a few to inflict on your friends and family. You'll thank me later - or maybe you won't, and that's fine too.
