Looking for some jokes to have at the ready? Here are some cheesy gems to remember.
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.

Although dad jokes may be fearlessly corny, that doesn’t mean they can’t be genuinely funny. Whether you think your audience will appreciate dad jokes about animals, dad jokes about science, or dad jokes about food here are some of the best dad jokes around to help you get everyone laughing. Or groaning, which isn’t necessarily an unfavorable reaction.
