But really… What makes a joke a Dad Joke? According to Wikipedia, a Dad Joke is “a joke, typically a pun, often presented as a one-liner or a question and answer.” They’re usually inoffensive, told sincerely, and overly simplistic. They’re often clever, even if cringe-worthy. And, of course, they don’t need to be told by dads — anyone can share these quick-witted quips!
