One new dad was so excited to become a father that he asked users for their best dad jokes, and the internet delivered!
“We recently welcomed our baby girl into the world, and I cannot describe how proud I am of this little bug. We haven’t known each other for very long, but every day I’m working on being the best father I can be for her,” the user shared.

The man said that while his daughter couldn’t talk, he had about 13 years until she would be able to roll her eyes at his annoying jokes. So, he needed to come prepared. “I want to be ready to embarrass her in front of any waitress, boyfriend, or teacher.”
Here are some of the top dad jokes that were shared:

The Classic Fortune Cookie Conundrum
Every time my dad opens a fortune cookie, he gets a distressed look on his face and says, “It says ‘Help! I’m being held captive in a fortune cookie factory!’ We have to help this person!” None of my siblings or I have ever fallen for it, but he’s been doing it for at least 30 years. Now he’s got grandkids to try it on, and I’m sure they won’t fall for it either.

Restaurant Rumble
Not a joke in the traditional sense, but when I’m at a restaurant and the waitress says, “Do you wanna box for that?” I always reply with, “No, but I’ll wrestle you for it.” No one ever gets it, but it makes me laugh. And that’s the point, right?

Affair Fiasco
My dad once sat me down and told me that while my mother was on holiday, he’d been having an affair. Deadly serious, he tells me it’s not worth it because when it was happening, one time she told him to come over because nobody was home. And he went and knocked, but got no answer. Because nobody was home.
I was worried for their marriage, and the whole thing was the setup for a joke.

Mime Abduction
“I’ve been a dad for 26 years, so this is the real deal: I was abducted by a group of mimes. They did unspeakable things to me.”

Cheap Chicken
Dad at lunch: “Do you have anything cheap? Because I’m not that hungry.”
Waiter: “Well, maybe the chicken strips for $6.”
Dad: “Well, maybe it does, but that doesn’t help my hunger.”

It’s short, but it really made me laugh.

1. Dear Old George’s Annual Check-Up
Without fail, George went for his annual check-up every year. He prided himself on staying fit and healthy by going on walks in the neighborhood, though age had taken its toll on his eyesight.
After his check-up, George sat and chattered with his doctor, proudly telling Dr. Stephens about his latest discovery.
“Doc, I’m blessed,” he said. “God knows my eyesight is going, so he puts on the light when I pee, and turns it off when I’m done!”

The doctor chuckled, but a nagging curiosity led him to call George’s wife later that day.
“Maria,” he said. “Your husband’s test results are just fine. But he said something strange! He claims that God turns the lights on and off for him when he uses the bathroom at night.”
George’s wife laughed out loud.
“That old fool! He’s been peeing in the refrigerator again! I thought it was the dog!”

2. The Mischievous Grandmas on a Bench
Three mischievous grandmas were sitting on a bench outside of their nursing home, laughing their heads off like giggling girls.
“Now, now, ladies,” a nurse said, walking past them. “You need to get your sunshine time before tea. And behave!”
Her words only set them off again. Soon, they spotted an old man walking by and decided to have a bit of fun with him.

“We bet we can tell exactly how old you are,” one of the grandmas yelled out at him.
The old man scoffed.
“There’s no way that you can guess it, you three old fools.”
“Sure we can!” another grandma insisted. “Just drop your…”
