What we have on the left are Dad Jokes. They’re comedy gold, right? But this kind of elevated humorous banter doesn’t come easily. No; like all art forms, it takes lots of skill, training and application. If you’re struggling for repartee with your children, these tips might help.
Don’t worry if you’re not overly comfortable with the Q&A style of approach to joke-telling – i.e., this kind of thing: “What’s the best part about living in Switzerland?” “I don’t know, but the flag is a big plus.”
Most Dad Jokes don’t involve a question and a punchline. Quotes from movies are a great source of funnies. In fact, I would estimate that around 60 percent of my hilarious sayings come from just three movies from the 1980s: Airplane! (or Flying High as it was called in Australia), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Fletch. That’s why if someone says, “Surely you can’t be serious?” I’m always ready with the reply: “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley!”
