How to Tell a Dad Joke (And Make It Hilarious)
The delivery is key! Here are a few tips to make your dad jokes truly shine:
- Embrace the cringe: Dad jokes are supposed to be cheesy. Don’t try to be cool or sophisticated; lean into the corniness.
- Deliver with confidence: Even if the joke is terrible, deliver it with a straight face and a confident tone. This adds to the comedic effect.
- Add a flourish: A dramatic pause, a playful wink, or a well-timed sigh can significantly enhance the joke’s impact.
- Don’t be afraid to repeat: Some jokes are better on the second (or third!) telling. If your audience doesn’t get it the first time, don’t be shy to try again.
- React to your audience: Pay attention to the reactions of your audience. If they’re not laughing, move on to the next one! Don’t force it.
