These 25 'Dad Jokes' by Fathers Who Are Learning the Ropes of Parenthood Will Make You Snort Uncontrollably
We all enjoy dad jokes. It's fine, you can admit it. We frequently mistake dad humor for corny jokes and puns but dads frequently say really funny and witty things that make us genuinely laugh. We also know that even the corniest of jokes can be quite enjoyable. In fact, when someone asked me what I'd had inherited from my dad's genes, I had to admit that I inherited some dad jokes. A few fathers who can't imagine their lives without humor took to social media, transforming dad humor into a whole category of Twitter jokes. These men may come from different worlds, work in different professions and have different ideologies in life but one thing they all have in common is their relatable dad lives which require them to cope with some humor. The internet is so full of dad jokes that you could have them compete with each other. Well, you can choose a winner from these 25 tweets that we have shortlisted for you which are high on the dad quotient.

My 4 year old asked what happens when you drive over a stick of butter. I said, it’ll flatten. He asked how I knew. And that’s how we got here. So what I’m saying is, when we have a hypothesis in this house, we test it. I’m also saying, my wife is away. pic.twitter.com/cHX5KXC3re

25. Father v/s dad
Getting someone pregnant makes you a father. Secretly bending the hose your kid is using so the water stops flowing then suggesting that the hose must be broken and encouraging them to look inside as you release the pressure and set Old Faithful off in their face makes you a dad.
