An announcement from a pediatrician.

Have some people’s jokes gone too far? Yes. Are some people being craven and cruel? Yes. Are some people irresponsibly calling for more violence? Yes.

"Dad, I’m hungry."

"Hi, hungry. I’m Dad."

There's an example of the beloved form of humor: The Dad Joke.

But what makes something a dad joke instead of just a corny joke? We've got two folklorists answering that question and looking at the history of the 'art' form. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there, funny or not!

Leave a favorite #DadJoke in the replies, so we can all groan together
