Dad jokes are back by popular demand, and they are better (or worse) than ever!
Help Dad expand his joke repertoire with more than 300 eye-rollers, cringers, groaners, side-splitters, knee-slappers, and gut-busters guaranteed to make you laugh (or sigh). From the folks who brought you the original Dad Jokes, this collection of all-new material contains Q&A jokes, puns, one-liners, tweets, and knock-knock jokes suitable for all ages, including... What do you call a potato at a hockey game? A spec-tater. Don’t run with bagpipes. You could put an aye out. Or worse yet, get kilt. I always wanted to be a Gregorian monk, but I never got the chants.
This book of dad jokes delivers what it promises: a whole ton of groaners and bad puns. There are also anecdotes, one-liners, and celebrity quotes. There are also tweets from what appears to be random people who I hope were asked permission. I saw a dril tweet among all the dad jokes and it threw me off.
I think this book proves that millennials and even some of my own generation are dads now. There are some good boomer jokes and jokes of a conservative air, but there are also tons of jokes about how terrible jobs are that feel very anti work millennial. However, the jokes about psychiatry feel very seventies Silent Generation, because I suppose dads still don’t get counseling as much as their daughters do.
These jokes get way less funny near the end. There is a section on “real life” funnies that I really doubt actually happened in real life. There are less good puns in real life. There is also a distinct “mom joke” near the end that dads would never tell. Although groaners are gender-neutral, considering I read this book.
