Dad jokes seem to have universal appeal across cultures,notesMarc Hye-Knudsen, a humor researcher and lab manager at Aarhus University. For example, inJapan, they have a concept calledoyaji gyagu, which can be translated to ‘old men’s gags’ or ‘middle-aged men’s gags’. InDanish culture, they’ve adopted the modern term ‘dad jokes’. But in the past, they referred to it asonkel humor(‘uncle humor’) andmorfar vittigheder(‘grandfather jokes’).

So why are dads across generations and countries so invested in this corny kind of humor? Comedy critic and dad Jason Zinoman has an explanation. “The demise of a dad’s sense of humor begins in early parenthood while workshopping jokes in front of babies, tiny philistines who think peekaboo is a hilarious bit of misdirection,” hewrites.When kids grow into toddlers, they fixate on trivial things, making it easy to amuse them with silly remarks. “Like so many lazy comics, we parents pander. If jokes work, they stay in the set. Gradually, we become hooked on cheap laughs.”As children become older, dads are reluctant to let go of the jokes they’ve come to love. “When their humor matures, they mock ours and, in their search for a critical language to express their contempt, the dad joke was born.”

In a world where many jokes aim to offend or belittle, dad jokes do the opposite—they’re harmless and bring people together. Another Canadian comedian Dylan Gott, who has a three-year-old son and is expecting another child this month,shares, “The key to a good dad joke is uniting the rest of your family against you.” This is especially helpful if others are feeling anxious. “You come in and say something that makes everyone forget about the tense situation.”
