I’m not sure how Dad Humor got such a bad rap to begin with. It’s the word “Dad” and the word “Humor,” which, as we all know, are two excellent things! But you put them together and suddenly it’s like “cookies and ass.” It just somehow doesn’t work.

One problem is that most so-called Dad Jokes are not really for kids. They depend on puns, which many children can’t really process yet, even if they get the reference; and that’s a big “if.”
