The Surprisingly Heroic History of the Dad Joke

Long before cargo shorts and backyard grills, the dad joke was born. Forged in the fires of awkward silences and "just resting my eyes" moments, these groan-worthy one-liners have been passed down from father to father like a sacred (and slightly embarrassing) tradition.

In this video, we dive into the ancient, pun-filled origins of dad jokes—how they evolved from ancient eye-roll incantations into the cringe comedy weapon of choice for suburban dads everywhere. Why do dads tell jokes that no one asked for? Are they secretly comedians... or just really bored?

Grab your New Balances, fire up the grill, and get ready to embrace the pun—because dad jokes aren't just jokes. They're a lifestyle.
