Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes
A slim paperback of groan-worthy dad jokes. The kind of book that sits on the coffee table and gets picked up during commercial breaks.
$6.39
This is 106 pages of intentionally terrible dad jokes — the sort you read out loud just to watch someone roll their eyes. It's short enough to flip through in one sitting, but most people keep it around to pull out one joke at a time.
The first page has space to write a message, so it works as a card and a gift in one. One family in a Washington Post story used it as their source for daily yard signs, which gives you a sense of the vibe.
It's a slim paperback. Doesn't take up much space on a shelf or in a stocking.
Why it works
- Short enough to finish quickly, but works better as a dip-in book.
- First page lets you write a note — doubles as a card.
- The jokes are bad on purpose. That's the appeal.
Who it's for
- A dad who already tells bad jokes and needs new material.
- Someone who appreciates a low-stakes, lighthearted gift.
What to know
- Only 106 pages — it's a quick read.
- The humor is intentionally corny. Not everyone's thing.
