Peak Dad Joke
I can recall being annoyed with dad jokes when I was younger because it felt like my father was always going against me. For example, I would tell him “I’m hungry,” and in response, he would say something like, “Hi, Hungry! I’m Dad.” It made me so angry because he knew exactly what I meant but chose to misunderstand me as a way of preventing me from getting food.
Despite how annoyed I got, I was still able to understand the jokes, which is more than can be said for this person. It seems like the best possible outcome of dad telling a joke is if someone is genuinely confused by it for 18 years. I’m sure her dad gets a good laugh out of that himself.
