The Art of the Dad Joke

No, Neil Patrick Harris and his beautiful family are not from Columbia, SC, but I wish they were. And since he has started a whole new newsletter project that, in honor of Father’s Day, shared some classic so-bad-they’re-good jokes this week, I decided to take a closer look at the Art of the Dad Joke - which, let’s face it, takes a certain skill set to pull off. Or not. Which really is the key to the Dad Joke to start with.

The following Dad Jokes come straight from the brain of Dr. Olaf Doogie Horrible himself, and You can subscribe to his newsletter, too, by simply clicking here.

To all the dads, granddads, stepdads, baby daddies, special uncles, and father figures out there, Happy Father’s Day. But most importantly, learn how to tell a joke and how to take yourself less seriously.
