Are these dad jokes?
Yes: as a random dad joke generator it does the job. Nearly every punchline is a pun or a groan, short enough to tell in one breath, as in the keyboard that never gets a day off because it works two shifts. None is about a person or a group of people.
Tips
Read the question aloud, count to three, then tap Show answer. The pause is half the joke.

How this list was compiled: 107 question-and-answer jokes written for this page on 2026-09-30 by the page writer; none was copied from a joke book, a site or another page. The question is in t and the punchline in d, which the card hides until Show answer is tapped. Rules kept for every joke: nothing about a person, a job, a nationality or any group of people; nothing about bodies, looks, illness, drink, romance, weapons, death, politics or religion; no brand, show, game or character. Checked by script against every other list on this site (exact lines, 60 percent shared words, and any run of four words shared with the pun, riddle and kids' question pages). Three drafts that reused a pun already on the pun page (in a jam, see right through, stick with me) were taken out. Not checked: the jokes were not searched for one by one on the web, because no search engine was used in writing this page. Puns on everyday words get found more than once, so a joke here may resemble one told elsewhere; none was taken from one. Licence: own work
