The concept of a “dad joke”—a kind of joke that is purposely so unfunny or embarrassing it becomes funny again—has seen a rise in popularity and appreciation in recent years.

One of the biggest, @Dadsaysjokes, currently has more than 295,000 followers on Twitter, and on the Facebook page Dad Jokes, celebrities have a “showdown” for who can tell the best dad joke followed by more than 1....
