Dad jokes are great, despite eye rolls

Glen Fredericks is dad jokes connoisseur. He has published books on the topic and on social media humour.

Dad jokes are short jokes - typically a pun - presented as a one-liner or a question and answer but not a narrative, says Glen Fredericks, with a nod to Wikipedia.

Generally inoffensive, dad jokes are stereotypically told with sincere humorous intent, or to "intentionally provoke a negative reaction to their overly-simplistic humour".
