Becoming a father for the first time is, in so many ways, a life changing event. But while every new dad quickly develops his own, unique parenting style, there is one quality that inextricably links us all…our instinctive and deep-seated love of dad jokes.
For years, dad jokes have undoubtedly had a bad rep. Viewed by generations of embarrassed offspring as cringe-worthy, bad taste or just downright crap, so-called dad jokes have never received the comedy kudos they so thoroughly deserve.
But today, all that is about to change…
I recently challenged my #dadtribe of the funniest Insta Dads, daddy bloggers and vloggers from across the globe to share with me their all-time favourite dad jokes for this feature. And their response was overwhelming, with submissions received from father figures across the UK and as far reaching as the USA, Australia and Fiji!
So here it is; our definitive list of the funniest dad jokes in the world, as voted for by some of the world’s funniest dads. As is customary when dad jokes are involved, prepare to laugh, cry and cringe in equal measure…

These made me chuckle. I love the Oasis one. #FabFridayPost
I actually love dad jokes. The thing is though, if i hear a good one I can NEVER for the life of me remember it. No matter how obvious the strapline goes with opener. I think it’s brilliant that you’ve scoured the world over and come up with the definitive list. I’m going to try and remember the one about fractions for the time when I come to teach my two maths! 🙂
