    175 Best Dad Jokes for Kids and Adults

What’s the best thing about Switzerland? It's debatable, but the flag’s a big plus.

C'mon, admit it: You can't help but snicker at that one. Sure, they may get a bad rap, but there's nothing more satisfying than laughing — and, well, groaning — at a corny yet clever dad joke.

Despite the name, these silly one-liners and knock-knock jokes aren't reserved for dads (but, let's face it, no one can compete with your old man's delivery). Our suggestion: Secure your spot as the #1 jokester by always having a few pun-laden, cringe-worthy dad jokes memorized and ready to go.

Giving a presentation at work? Break the ice with an office-appropriate joke about why the sun didn't go to college. A hint: It already had a million degrees.

If you're having a few cocktails with the crew, crack them up with “I used to be banker, but I lost interest.” Or if things get awkward over the holidays, bust out a few Thanksgiving or Christmas jokes to lighten the mood.

So, get ready to take notes because these dad jokes are so awesome, you’ll want to write them all down. Just make sure the pencil’s not broken because that would be, ahem, pointless.
