I was addicted to the hokey-pokey.
But I turned myself around.
Hey, that’s what it’s all about.
I must have told you a million times to stop exaggerating!
I’ve been trying to quit procrastinating, but keep putting it off.
I gave away my vacuum cleaner. It was just gathering dust.
My mother has 30+ nephews and nieces and many came to Long Island to stay with us or my brother in Queens.
It was usually summer so my father would politely ask, “Do you have the fourth of July in Ireland?” and of course many would say “No” and the “punchline” is “So you skip right from the 3rd to the 5th?”
Eventually, some were wise to it and would answer with variants of the punchline.
Not really a “Dad Joke” but if me or my brothers were playing some song with a repetitive chorus that likely was the name of the song, he sort of sarcastically ask, “What’s the name of this song?”
One time it was just me and him in the car, and Sting is singing "Sending out an S.O.S. … " like 20 times and he asks that question. I just replied, "He’ll change the last line to ‘Sending out an Esso Blue’ as some sort of a pun on a kind of Exxon gas in England, yet he’s already sang the title “Message in a bottle”
Perhaps the epitome of the dad joke:
“I’m hungry.” (complains kid-- could also be “bored” or “tired”)
“Hi hungry, I’m dad!”
What did one snowman say to the other snowman?
Do you smell carrots?
Do elephant jokes count as Dad jokes? Do knock-knock jokes?
I remember when elephant jokes were flying around the school yard.
Why do elephants paint their toenails red?
So they can hide in cherry trees.
What did the grape say when the elephant stepped on it?
Nothing. It just let out a little whine.
What’s the difference between an elephant and a grape?
Grapes are purple.
When told by one eight-year-old to another eight-year-old, they’re just jokes.
When told by a dad to his teenaged child, they’re Dad jokes. 
I can live with that. Thanks.
Jimmy Carr once said in a routine: ‘Men have Joke Tourettes’. As in, we can’t stop ourselves from using a joke when there’s an opportunity - no matter whether the situation calls for one or not, or whether the joke is even funny.
Dad jokes are a perfect example.
Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree?
See, it works!
Did you by any chance watch the vid cited upthread in this post:
;)
I did not. I even did a thread search for both “I’m hungry” and “I’m dad” to try to avoid a double-post. But like a dad trying to sneak a beer or a smoke out back and getting caught on a Blink camera, I got tripped up by the video evidence.
Dad are one of your parents.

ISWYDT!
(Yes, DiscoBot, that was a complete sentence)
Dad jokes thrive on repetition.
Not only that, they’re even better the second time.
Say again?
“Again”.
Daughter: “I can’t find my phone. Could you call it for me?”
Me: “HEEEEERE, PHONE! HEEEEEERE, PHONE PHONE PHONE!”
I only got to pull that one once.
