One of the most basic forms of humour are dad jokes. Some people call them ‘puns’ but we all know what they really are. I recently got paid for a dad joke. Believe it or not - many companies use them for promotional material they send out. Apparently they get your attention even if you think they suck. The suckier the better? Maybe.

The one I got paid for recently was for Easter. An email went out to 20,000 customers of this store (Brown Box does email marketing you see.) Well - they needed a headline for a picture of a kid and a bunny. “Hoppy Easter” is what I wrote. I was ashamed to take their money (but secretly I love it - my wife thinks I must have kids somewhere else I make so many dad jokes).

So when I received a few today for the competition - I asked myself, ‘Could I use these to make money?’ Probably not - but I’m holding on to them!

Okay here we go - get ready for some REAL comedy.

  • How do you make a tissue dance?
    Put a little boogie in it.
  • I’m gonna tell you a dad joke.
    About a dad that’s already dead.
    Oops.
    I’m sorry if I remind you of something.
    Ed: Let the reader know, this made absolutely no sense to me.
  • Your dad is so stupid that he wrote in ‘the president’ during the last presidential elections.
  • (After spilling milk, juice etc.) -’Pour effort!’

And the winner for the day!

Jen - your dad must be a complete comedian! He should get a gold star for this. If he ever says it out loud please give him a handshake for me.

(Whilst driving past a cemetery) - ‘Look kids! There’s the dead centre of town!’
