Dad Jokes

15 jokes

A dad joke is built to make you groan before you laugh. The setup sounds like an honest question, the punchline turns on a pun, and the whole thing lands in under ten words. That is the entire craft — no shock value, no cruelty, just a wordplay trapdoor you walk straight into.

The jokes below are short enough to remember after reading once, which is really the point: a dad joke only works when you can redeploy it at the dinner table three hours later. Everything here is safe for kids, safe for the office, and reliably groan-inducing.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a joke a dad joke?
Three things: it is short, it turns on a pun or a deliberate misreading of a word, and it is completely clean. If the listener rolls their eyes instead of laughing, it worked.
Are dad jokes suitable for children?
Yes. Every dad joke on JokeEmpire is family-friendly by design, which is why kids tend to memorise them faster than adults do.
How do I deliver a dad joke well?
Deadpan and unhurried. Say the setup like you mean it, pause for one beat, then deliver the punchline without smiling. The straighter your face, the bigger the groan.
