I’ve heard that the oldest recorded joke was from Sumeria around 1900BC… “Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.”
Even at my advanced age (58), I still find flatulence hilarious … ‘cept when my dog does it. Then it’s just heinous. But even that has its humorous aspect: she grins whenever she does it. (That’s our first clue to leave the room.)

Yeah… imo, fart-jokes were probably funny even before there were humans.

Is “pull my finger” a dad joke, because dads have stronger fingers and they aren’t worried about the child pulling it off?

You sure that isn’t “bad jokes”?

That was first seen in the swamp on the Potomac that still enjoys outgassing as a career.

And that tradition has been passed down to the present day. So to speak.

makes as much sense and is as believable as the theory taught as fact…, but funnier!

At 72, I laugh just as hard at the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles as I would have at age 11. And I’m not ashamed.

Dad puns are as bad as Dad jokes.

I don’t remember any of my Dad’s bad jokes but I fondly remember him telling them to us.

I’m disappointed. I thought that it would end with man devolving into MAGA-ites.

No no, Dad jokes are WAY more primitive than this sequence indicates…

I’m old enough to remember when those were grampa jokes. Somewhere along the line dads got demoted.
