I caved and got that "Knock Knock" joke book off Amazon after rolling my eyes at it for months. My 8 year old snorted on the third pun and now I'm the dinner table hero. Has anyone else had surprising luck with a pricier dad joke source?
He straight up said my jokes were so bad they made his ears hurt. So for the next family gathering I waited until he was eating corn on the cob. I hit him with a three pun combo about butter, kernels, and how he was shucking his teeth. He choked on a piece of corn and my dad gave me a standing ovation. Now I keep a list of fresh corn puns in my phone for moments like that. Anyone else have a family member who tried to shut down your dad joke game?
I always thought puns were the lowest form of dad humor, like the fast food of jokes. Then my 9 year old told me a pun about a broken pencil during car ride last week, and I laughed so hard I almost missed the exit. Has a specific joke or style ever flipped your opinion on what's funny?
