Dad jokes are more than just groan-worthy one-liners—they’re a rite of passage, a cultural cornerstone, and a timeless reminder that humor doesn’t always need a punch, just a pun. In 2025, dad jokes have seen a glorious renaissance, surfacing in text messages, dinner tables, team meetings, and bedtime stories. What makes a great dad joke? A clever twist, clean delivery, and a dash of unexpected wit. We’ve rounded up 46 of the freshest, most original dad jokes of the year—crafted to make you laugh, roll your eyes, or do both at the same time. And in true dad fashion, we’re skipping the explanations because the punchlines should speak for themselves (and also because dads rarely explain their jokes—unless someone groans too loudly). Dive in, enjoy, and maybe even test a few out at your next awkward silence.
