Dad jokes, often perceived for their eye-rolling levels of cringe, have carved out a special place in both social media and everyday conversations. Each week, users share the most creative and embarrassing lighthearted quips, like a webcomic showing a dad literally going out with a spider after his partner asked him "Did you take the spider out?" or clever puns such as "Noah fence."

These jokes could've easily been said by our dads or uncles, as seen in various posts across Instagram, Reddit and X / Twitter inviting laughter and groans alike. For instance, one user humorously noted, "After all the eating I did over the holidays, I am happy to report that my socks still fit," a classic dad comment after a glutinous meal.

With images and captions that summarize experiences many can relate to, the popularity of these jokes is a staple of dad-jokes culture that seems still fairly popular on the internet. Places like Instagram and Reddit serve as the perfect platform for sharing and enjoying this heartwarming form of humor, reminding us that even if they're mostly cringe jokes, a simple pun can brighten our day.
