A dad joke is a short, wholesome, pun-based joke characterised by its corniness and the groan it reliably produces. Clean and predictable by design, it is named for the stereotype of fathers delivering exactly this kind of humour with unwavering sincerity and pride.
why are dad jokes so bad
That is precisely the point — a dad joke works because it is corny and predictable, and the affectionate groan is the intended reaction. The "badness" is the humour; a dad joke that was too clever would actually miss the mark of the form.
