Welcome to chapter 18 of parenting made easy. We hope you enjoyed our
previous chapter exploring the usefulness of various toolbox items when
you need an emergency hair tie for school photos.
[girl with cable tie plats walks onto stage like a model, spins, poses her hair, and leaves]
P:
In this chapter we're looking at one of the most critical aspects of
fatherhood every man needs to master: how to tell a dad joke.
Most traditional jokes require some kind of funniness.
J1:
A man asks a farmer near a field, “Sorry to bother you, sir, would you
mind if I crossed your field instead of going around it? You see, I have
to catch the 4:23 train."
The farmer says, “Sure, go right ahead. And if my bull sees you, you’ll even catch the 4:11 one."
P: However, the first rule for any dad joke is the joke must never... be funny.
O: I'm hungry
D1: pleased to meet you, hungry!
[Oliver trips down stairs leaving]
P: Dad jokes should be short and straight to the uncalled for punch line:
D1: Enjoy your trip?
P:B e careful not to confuse Dad jokes for grandfather jokes, which while
also not funny, are actually more drawn out, and make no sense what so
ever
D2:
so there was a farmer out in the far west plowing his field with the
groove-master 200, he was putting in a crop of potatoes, it was a rather
windy December day and there was no rain forecast for at least two
days, and wool
prices are down, but he was sowing in December? I know, Hilarious.
P: A dad joke must never be sexist, racist or crude like many traditional jokes told today
J1: So a blonde woman, an Asian and a Jew walked into a bar and ordered a bowl of baked beans each...
P: NO! [glares] don't even think about it!
[smiles again, as if nothing happened] Some quality jokes consist of clever puns to bring laughter
J2: I wasn't originally going to get a brain transplant, but then I changed my mind
P: Dad jokes will almost always include a pun - but must never be clever enough to cause significant laughter
D1: Very punny.
P: While most traditional jokes require a well timed pause:
J2: Don't let your worries get the best of you; remember Moses? [pause] he started out as a basket case.
P:
The critical timing of a dad joke is directly associated with the
number of your child's friends being present - the more friends around,
the more critical the timing
is to let a dad joke rip:
D2: Have fun at the pool kids - don't get wet!!!
P:
The final rule for the perfect dad joke is it must be repetitive,
because the only truly perfect dad joke is one which is repeated
several... hundred... thousand times.
D2: welcome back, Did you get wet?
P:
Now, with all the tools for a dad joke learned, next time you hear a
call for a 'round of applause', you'll easily be able to spot the fully
trained dads jokers in the audience.
J1&2 clap normally, D1&2 clap in a circle
P:
This completes our chapter on how to tell a dad joke. In our next
chapter we'll demonstrate 13 ways dads can ask for directions when lost
during a family vacation- without looking like you're asking for
directions.
D2: say, which route gives you the best mileage to get to the nearest caravan park?
P: As always, subscribe below, I'm [insert name]. Happy Father's Day.
[D1&2 give 'round' of applause ]
[Presenter leaves first with a little trip off stage]
D1&2: Enjoy the trip?
