In honor of Father’s Day this coming weekend, I thought it would be time to explore a legal twist on the pinnacle of humor: the dad joke.
“Dad joke” is another term for a corny, groan-inducing, really-bad-but-you’re-still-laughing joke. It usually involves a pun or play on words.
Thanks to the contributions of DISCO dads, moms, parents, and non-parents, I can now proudly present our compilation of the best legal dad jokes. Enjoy!
Note: Although “dad joke” itself is a gendered term, good/bad dad jokes can come from (and be “enjoyed” by) anyone!
