What makes a good dad joke is the "innocence" of it. A good dad joke feels like it comes from someone who cares—like a father figure being playfully silly. It’s not imposing or edgy; it’s more like, “Here’s a sweet little joke I thought you’d enjoy”. That’s the spirit of a dad joke—gentle, innocent, loving.

The first example that comes to mind for me is:
"I know a joke about lions, but if I told you, I’d be lyin’." It’s a silly, classic play on words—which is really the hallmark of a dad joke.

Dad jokes are just poking fun at the stereotypical father—whoever that stereotype is to you. The dad bod, the dad behavior—it’s all about playing off that stereotype. So, stereotypes work well for dad jokes. If it’s going to be a dad joke, it should play into those familiar, sometimes cheesy tropes.

This question was made for me, lol. Here are my go-to top-tier dad jokes:

Dad: Someone here is an owl. Me: Who? Dad: *Narrows eyes suspiciously*

How do you know when your clock is still hungry? It goes back four seconds.

What do you call a fish with no eye? A fsh.

How did the hamburger introduce his wife? "Meat Patty."

Were you built upside-down? Because your nose runs and your feet smell!

How did the hacker escape the FBI? He ransomware.

When does a dad joke become a dad joke? During the delivery, it becomes apparent.

6:30 is my favorite time of day, hands down.

Why shouldn't you wear glasses when you play football? Because it's a contact sport.

I took up origami for a while, but I gave it up because it was too much paperwork.

What do you call someone who tells dad jokes when they're not a father? A faux pas.

What did the blanket say when he fell off the bed? "Oh sheet!"

What's orange and sounds like a carrot? A parrot!

What did the bra say to the hat? "You go on ahead and I'll give these two a lift"

I used to work at a bank and a woman once asked me if I could check her balance. So I pushed her over and said, "It's not good."
