Some dads are passionate about classic cars and fishing trips. Others enjoy hiking and tackling DIY projects. But no matter how different they may be, dads seem to share one common trait: their unstoppable urge to crack the cheesiest jokes. And even though we might roll our eyes at their puns and groan at their one-liners, deep down, we secretly love them. Luckily, the popular Facebook group ‘Dad Jokes Daily’ features plenty of these awkwardly hilarious quips, and we’ve picked out some of their best dad jokes to share with you. Scroll down to check them out and upvote your favorites! The earliest mention of dad jokes is credited to a 1987 editorial in the Gettysburg Times. Writer Jim Kalbaugh praised fathers for telling embarrassing jokes to their children—or, even better, to others in front of their children. Kalbaugh argued that this practice was “one of the great traditions of fatherhood worth preserving.” When kids grow into toddlers, they fixate on trivial things, making it easy to amuse them with silly remarks. “Like so many lazy comics, we parents pander. If jokes work, they stay in the set.
