The "Dad-Jokes" Song

A german song about simple puns and silly sayings: Here, the kids suffer from the lame dad jokes that only their father truly enjoys. Every punchline is met with annoyed head-shaking, but the father remains proud of his wordplay.

Background:

Dad jokes are short, mostly harmless wordplay or jokes with a predictable or seemingly simple punchline, often so flat or dry that they are entertaining for the sake of it. They are typically delivered with a markedly self-deprecating conviction and are particularly prevalent in English-speaking cultures. Dad jokes have the following characteristics:

  • They are usually very simple and often linked to a play on words.
  • In many cases, their punchline can be easily “anticipated” and often triggers a smile or even a bored groan.
  • A typical example: "I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!"

Although dad jokes are sometimes considered “unfunny,” their embarrassment gives them their own charm and they are often shared among family and friends.
