dad jokes

Posted on October 19, 2007 by JH

As a Dad, I’m genetically inclined towards fairly dodgy, embarrassing jokes. However, I do try to restrain myself in this forum.

I did come across a joke recently that I suspect falls outside the “dad joke” category, and may actually count as funny. So, after way too much of a build-up, here it is:

What did the Pope say to God after Luciano Pavorotti died?
Here’s that tenor I owe you.

‘phnar ‘phnar.

I’ve only been doing this Dad thing for 15 months now, I haven’t yet progressed to “Dad rock” stage. I don’t know exactly what that involves, possibly Nickleback, possibly Andrew Lloyd Webber like my Dad. Either way it sounds pretty dire.

Britney Spears
Speaking of embarrassing jokes, according to the Age, Britney Spears “just doesn’t like” the feel of underwear on her skin.

Hey, I can understand Britney’s point. I don’t like the sound of her music on my ears, especially her new song “gimme more”. I also don’t particularly like the sight of her on my retina, but I often don’t have much choice, sadly.

Running
A couple of circumnavigations of the tan this lunch-time plus a slightly longer trip there and back from the office. All well and good. I’m back to running about 50k per week, which is pretty comfortable, and should be enough to keep me in shape.

    Don’t forget Dad Dancing and Dad Cool (trying to pepper you speach with the youngsters lingo and wearing jeans after you turn 50).

    Okay so I actually like the new Britney Spears song (gives embarassed laugh).

    Now all I have to do is find a dance version of it (much faster BPM) and then I can add it to my running playlist.

    Dad- “What is a Shitzu?”
    Me- “Well, dad it is a little fluffy dog”
    Dad- “No, it is a zoo without any animals”
    Me- “Oh Dad you crack me up”

    You need your kids to be almost teenagers before you can really start having fun embarrassing them. Em mentioned Dad Dancing, that is a good one, but not quite as good as “Dad Singing Along to the Muzak in the Supermarket” - that gets em every time!

    My favourite Dad Joke - well the one that I am proudest of anyway - was last year when my daughter Kate was doing her Physics homework one night, and I asked her, “How is your Ohm work going?”

    Well, I thought it was funny!
