Someone: “Look, if you’re constantly concerned about hurting someone’s feelings, the only jokes you’ll have left are terrible puns and sight gags.”
*every dad in the world looks up*
“Someone is about to discover our ways…”
A long time ago in a comments section far, far away, a nerdy dad attempted to explain why dad jokes are so popular, especially among guys of a certain age. Essentially, once you have kids, you may want to police yourself in the kinds of jokes you tell. Nothing vulgar or blue. This restricts your repertoire, but also forces you to be more creative. Eventually you get a lot of corny jokes, but many of those are far more clever than the pre-child ones. And for those cheesy yet witty one-liners, there’s an audience that appreciates the process behind it, even if not on a conscious level.
That’s certainly part of it, but there’s another component even more important to developing dad humor.
See, little kids are a captive audience, and most of the time young children think that anything their dads say is funny. And after a few years of this, WE BEGIN TO THINK WE ARE ACTUALLY THAT HILARIOUS.
the purpose of having a name for the flavor of your product is to tell me what flavor your product is
apparently, nobody ever told you this, and so you think the purpose of naming flavors is to sound like Death Knight talents
