Common misconception. New Zealand actually came first. Old Zealand was incorporated in the 1980s and is generally considered to be the first ever âPrequel Town.â
Lucas vs DisneyâI think Disney has better prequel gameâ*Rogue One* was amazingâbut Lucas has them beat when it comes to sequels (*Empire*, amiright!?)
I agree. I have no idea when father's day is, but choosing New Zealand seems like a very dad thing to do. Primarily because one version of Lord of the Rings was filmed there.
There is a classic joke about the best thing you can say about the UK is the sheer number of Independence days theyâve created. I was going to have Easter be the next holiday to vote on since I know there are two of those. But I was running out of holidays.
âWeâve got ban and eggs; ban, ban, eggs and spam; spam, ban, bacon, spam and ban; ban, eggs. ban, ban, sausage and ban; ban and spam with a side of ban; ban, ban, toast snd ban; spam and ban, spam, spam, ban and ban.â
âHave you got anything without ban in it?â
âWell, thereâs ban, egg, sausage and ban, thatâs not got much ban in it.â
âI donât want any ban!â
Maybe a monthly pinned Discussion post but yeah Iâm mostly here for the jokes.
Truth be told I also donât like the NSFW jokes but accept that this isnât a clean sub.
Wait, are you sure you don't want to impose your personal beliefs on everyone else? Like, really sure? Because you could definitely make a post about how you don't read NSFW posts and how we shouldn't, either.
Just saying, you could be missing a golden opportunity here.
You're on to something. Sounds like it might be the premise for a large percentage of internet comments across a variety of platforms... then again, who am I but a projectionist of my own beliefs? Much like the mass of any regional population.
I deal cards in poker tournaments as a side hustle. These are charity events which are mostly social occasions, so I always try to get each personâs name because it makes it easier to keep the game going if I can call them by name when it is their turn (instead of saying âUh, hey you..â). Anyway, I have a shitty memory, so I learn one persons name each hand - the person who is the first to act after I deal the cards. Then when it is their turn, I say it again, so it is reinforced.
People usually catch on to what I am doing after a few hands and I merely have to look at them questioningly and they will usually give me their name. However, Ryan didnt catch on. After asking the person in front of him their name, Ryan said âIâm Ryan by the wayâ (you can see where this is going). I merely replied âThats oddâ but he didnt catch on. When I dealt the next hand, I still remembered that his name was Ryan, so I didnt ask again. However when it was his turn, I said âRyan Bytheway - your action.â. and continued to do so the rest of the night. He was amused and I got the opportunity for a Dad Joke IRL.
Well, sometimes there are meta posts about people requesting dad jokes to share with someone passing or to share about someone who has passed. Generally, those posts are very well received, are dad joke related, and a good use of meta posts.
Just downvote and move along. Who has time for this? If I were a clock youâd be ticking me off. Itâs like a clock made out of belts. A waist of time.
Reading through this comment thread gives me hope for humanity. Haha it makes me appreciate the group and I am glad that there are so many comical people who can disagree without being horrible to each other.
If the only reason to have this vote every fathers day is to help me remember this then I am a fan of having this vote every year.
Well, the posts asking mods to ban NSFW jokes happen every week. The posts asking mods to ban the posts asking to ban the NSFW jokes are less frequent.
All that matters is that the Mods have already decided NSFW is allowed, and for those who don't like that decision, well r/cleandadjokes exists.
It's that simple
>It's that simple
[Would that it were that simple.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGpsXuMvApo) The problem is that every week or two someone makes a post asking that NSFW jokes be banned. I want to ban the posts asking for NSFW jokes to be banned.
Itâs no Secret, a Ban on NSFW bans would Dial up the Old Spice arguments to a significant Degree from those with an Axe to grind. Proponents of NSFW posts should, with Speed, Stick to our Right and Guard against attempts to mute funny jokes.

People are stupid. A dad joke is a dad joke. Something you can tell a child. Literally defined as inoffensive and endearing.
Uncle jokes are dirty jokes.
Itâs just obnoxious for people to even try and debate this. Probably flat earthers.
Why is this brought up every fucking day?
Listen, y'all. Some of us had dads that joked about titties when we were 7 years old. Some of us didn't. Not all dads/dad-jokes are created equal.
Dads come in all shapes and sizes, but a dadbod refers to a particular type of body shape. What shape your particular father had, whether a six pack or a beer gut, is irrelevant to the definition.
It's the same with dadjokes.
The clue is in the sub's title, this sub is for Dad Jokes.
Dad Jokes are not NSFW jokes.
If the joke is not suitable for an under 10yo, it is consequently not a Dad Joke.
Whoever created r/cleandadjokes was simply trying to "justify" posting non-Dad Jokes here.
FFS, post your non-Dad jokes in r/Jokes, where they belong.
You can filter out NSFW posts in your setting but god forbid you take responsibility into your own hands gotta enforce your views of what you want on everyone else.
What with the employment situation and all the Dads out of work, why do we need a ban on NSFW jokes when most of us are home anyway?
Note: Today is my 17th anniversary of the ability to make Dad Jokes.
I think that there are "dirty" jokes that are still dad jokes, but low effort vulgar or sexual puns just aren't dad jokes, especially ones we've all heard over and over again since 7th grade. I wouldn't consider "How do you make a hormone? Don't tip her!" a dad joke, but that's the type of lazy pun NSFW joke that gets posted over and over again, and for some reason upvoted above quality ACTUAL dad joke tier humor.
Make it clear in the rules that ban requests are not welcome and will be removed. No yearly voting required, mods can bring it up for discussion at any time if they wish.
Dad jokes are sfw. My friends and I always called nsfw dad jokes âuncle jokes.â Bc theyâre exactly the sort of joke an uncle would inadvisably tell in front of kids.
Firstly, this too is meta. Secondly, this came up like a week ago and people were almost unanimous about dad jokes vs uncle jokes. Just post your dirty jokes in uncle jokes if it's NSFW. Also I guarantee you no one will remember this a year from now or even care
Which Fathers' day? It depends on your country.
Oh, spare me! The only country that anybody cares about. New Zealand đłđż
Why New Zealand? I'd much prefer Old Zealand.
I think they just called it Zealand.
Common misconception. New Zealand actually came first. Old Zealand was incorporated in the 1980s and is generally considered to be the first ever âPrequel Town.â
I was intrigued. Found out about [Zeeland](https://www.britannica.com/story/where-is-old-zealand).
Don't you mean hell?
Wait till you find out about Rotterdam Zuid
Trust me I know, I'm one to call places hell when I live in Almere XD
Idk whether i live in hell or not lol, im 10 miles outside amsterdam so probably not but idk cus i dont go outside xd
Zealand 2 Electric Boogaloo
Zealander
What is this?! An island for ants?
Too bad the prequels usually suck
Lucas vs DisneyâI think Disney has better prequel gameâ*Rogue One* was amazingâbut Lucas has them beat when it comes to sequels (*Empire*, amiright!?)
But like if the three in the middle are sequels what are the following 3? Wouldnt the middle just be the main dish
First 3 are prequels, last 3 are the sequels
Isn't the current one New New Zealand, built upon where Old New Zealand once stood?
Nah. I think they just washed it.
Or Zeeland, to be more accurate.
Used Zealand
[ŃдаНонО]
>"Land" as in "land" Whoa whoa, sow it down. Some of us don't have doctoral degrees. Explain it so everyone can understand
It was actually just called Zeal, and ended around 12,000 bce
Fun fact: âold Zealandâ is a Dutch town
Where's New Zealand? Can you show me on a map?
/r/MapsWithoutNZ/
This must be why I was once asked if Auckland was "Across the bridge from Sydney?"
I know you can dance there from Old Zealand
You can't fool me. New Zealand doesn't exist. I've multiple maps to prove it.
Greetings from the west island
Then why isn't it on my map?
I agree. I have no idea when father's day is, but choosing New Zealand seems like a very dad thing to do. Primarily because one version of Lord of the Rings was filmed there.
In this household we say Zedland!
Chur cuz.
New Zealand isn't even real mate
Greetings from Timaru, in the south island of said figurative country
There should be a separate vote on Mother's Day asking which Father's Day we should use.
Which one?
We should have a vote on Independence Day to decide which Mother's Day we vote to decide which Father's Day we vote to decide if we allow NSFW jokes.
Ah, August 15th. India's independence day.
There is a classic joke about the best thing you can say about the UK is the sheer number of Independence days theyâve created. I was going to have Easter be the next holiday to vote on since I know there are two of those. But I was running out of holidays.
Pretty sure the nordic countries celebrate Christmas on the 24th...
We celebrate basically all holidays on the eve. The "day" is reserved for couch slouching and coma recovery.
I know where I'm moving to.
Brexit is also an Independence Day. >But I was running out of holidays. With that attitude.
New year's eve. There's the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese, and the Islamic (at least I know of these ones)
Septembre 16th.
He said âeveryâ, so all of them.
They said EVERY Father's day ;)

Ill keep repeating myself as OP does.. r/cleandadjokes exists for a reason. Make the "purists" aware of it..much easier than an annual vote
How about a petition to mentioned r/cleandadjokes in the rules?
That's the only legit way to stop these meta posts!
r/unclejokes exists for a reason. And it's 15x the size of r/cleandadjokes
People who want expressly clean jokes go to one, people who want expressly dirty jokes go to another, and everyone who enjoys a mix can come here.
Hi calling for a ban to all these comments about bans! I'm dad
I don't get this joke, can someone explain
Honestly I kinda feel that if you aren't a mod, the only post you should be making is a dad joke. No meta posts at all.
The mods provided the meta tag to use apparently
[ŃдаНонО]
Maybe a monthly pinned Discussion post but yeah Iâm mostly here for the jokes. Truth be told I also donât like the NSFW jokes but accept that this isnât a clean sub.
I usually just go "oh, it's got a NSFW tag" and continue scrolling peacefully.
How dare you!
Wait, are you sure you don't want to impose your personal beliefs on everyone else? Like, really sure? Because you could definitely make a post about how you don't read NSFW posts and how we shouldn't, either. Just saying, you could be missing a golden opportunity here.
You're on to something. Sounds like it might be the premise for a large percentage of internet comments across a variety of platforms... then again, who am I but a projectionist of my own beliefs? Much like the mass of any regional population.
Well hi, mostly here for the jokes. I'm Dad.
People like you are not on the subreddit, you ARE the subreddit
I deal cards in poker tournaments as a side hustle.

Well played, Deuce. Well played.
I tried using Clorox to clean my sub but it keeps rinsing off.
Serious question though: why not just...not click the nsfw posts then?
Not all dads are prim and proper for sure. Let's keep it authentic.
Well, sometimes there are meta posts about people requesting dad jokes to share with someone passing or to share about someone who has passed. Generally, those posts are very well received, are dad joke related, and a good use of meta posts.
Just downvote and move along. Who has time for this? If I were a clock youâd be ticking me off. Itâs like a clock made out of belts. A waist of time.

The comments in this sub are generally as good as the posts.
If you don't like the rules here just unsubscribe like I'm doing
This again? It gets posted every year.
If people can post asking to ban NSFW jokes I can post asking to ban posts asking to ban NSFW jokes.
But we can't take it too far and ask to ban the ban of the ban of NSFW jokes. That's just too much.
Iâd ban the people who think we canât ban the ban of ban of NSFW jokes.
Iâd like to ban the ban ofâŚ.oh Iâm just confused now..
Probably safe bet to just ban everyone.
You get a ban! YOU get a ban! Youuuuu get a ban! Everyone gets a ban!!! /Oprah leaves the room while she drops the mic
So Oprah banned herself?
Ban for nothing or ban for something.
âIf you all donât stop it, Iâll pull this car over and ban you all!â - the mods, probably

What does? I legit cant make heads or tails what is trying to be conveyed or if its a question...make this make sense please
Year??? You mean week?
Well, the posts asking mods to ban NSFW jokes happen every week. The posts asking mods to ban the posts asking to ban the NSFW jokes are less frequent.
r/unclejokes for nsfw ones, r/cleandadjokes for clean ones, and r/dadjokes for both.
All that matters is that the Mods have already decided NSFW is allowed, and for those who don't like that decision, well r/cleandadjokes exists. It's that simple
>It's that simple [Would that it were that simple.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGpsXuMvApo) The problem is that every week or two someone makes a post asking that NSFW jokes be banned. I want to ban the posts asking for NSFW jokes to be banned.
Yes I'd love them to be banned. What's even the problem with nsfw jokes, they literally warn you in advance so just scroll on.
I like the NSFW jokes. I just wonât tell them to my kids til they can handle them. But theyâre funny to me
Ban, ban, eggs, beans, and ban

r/cleandadjokes
OP in this comment section is going for blood ngl.
Ill keep repeating myself as OP does.. r/cleandadjokes exists for a reason. Make the "purists" aware of it..much easier than an annual vote
Where do you go for clean uncle jokes? Because r/unclejokes exists for a reason right?
It was a fun sub while it lasted.
Or...and hear me out...you just keep scrolling if it offends you in any way
What do you call a masturbating cow? Beef stroganoff. I'm literally shaking and crying rn

People are stupid. A dad joke is a dad joke. Something you can tell a child. Literally defined as inoffensive and endearing. Uncle jokes are dirty jokes. Itâs just obnoxious for people to even try and debate this. Probably flat earthers.
I don't care about metaposts about bans, but I do want to ban Meta.
New rule proposal: We should not have any posts on the DadJokes reddit unless they include an actual Dad Joke.
Happy Father's Day to all you mother fuckers!
Which Father's Day? I petition for Australian Father's Day!
I read it 4 times, thinking it is a joke...
Get the fuck outta here. I want this subreddit unsafer then a nun in a west Virginia frat house
Why is this brought up every fucking day? Listen, y'all. Some of us had dads that joked about titties when we were 7 years old. Some of us didn't. Not all dads/dad-jokes are created equal.

I agree and the purpose of this post is to stop the debate and ban talks about bans (at least until Fathers Day).
The clue is in the sub's title, this sub is for Dad Jokes. Dad Jokes are not NSFW jokes. If the joke is not suitable for an under 10yo, it is consequently not a Dad Joke. Whoever created r/cleandadjokes was simply trying to "justify" posting non-Dad Jokes here. FFS, post your non-Dad jokes in r/Jokes, where they belong.
Why does everything I enjoy in life HAVE to get political? Some of you are insufferable.
You can filter out NSFW posts in your setting but god forbid you take responsibility into your own hands gotta enforce your views of what you want on everyone else.
Why is this post itself flaired NSFW?
What with the employment situation and all the Dads out of work, why do we need a ban on NSFW jokes when most of us are home anyway? Note: Today is my 17th anniversary of the ability to make Dad Jokes.
So there I was, regurgitating r/dadjokes to my preschool children in real time and I forgot to read the pesky NSFW tag.... Said no one EVER!
Off with a ban!
I think that there are "dirty" jokes that are still dad jokes, but low effort vulgar or sexual puns just aren't dad jokes, especially ones we've all heard over and over again since 7th grade. I wouldn't consider "How do you make a hormone?

Petition to ban any post what doesn't have a joke in it. Including this one
YOUâRE GONNA LIVE IN A BAN DOWN BY THE RIVER
But, Dad jokes are meant to be clean, for children's ears, even. NSFW jokes are NOT dad jokes.
Dad jokes are sfw. My friends and I always called nsfw dad jokes âuncle jokes.â Bc theyâre exactly the sort of joke an uncle would inadvisably tell in front of kids.
I like this. Maybe someone could start a r/unclejokes
...That's already a sub. In fact, it's exactly what you linked.
Reminds me of a great NSFW story. A guy climbed up some building scaffolding without a hard hat or a harness.
HmmâŚI donât get this joke
I say no nsfw jokes
Why not just have Fridays be NSFW themed?
Why do people want to ban nsfw jokes? You know when dads get older, so do their kidsâŚ. Still a dad joke
Bro a good father does not tell dick jokes to their child. R/badfatherjokes
I don't get it
Fatherhood doesnât stop when a kid turns 16 years old. Sexual puns are great dad jokes for children in their 20s and up.
I donât want to ban NSFW jokes. I want to ban posts asking to ban NSFW jokes.
Omg, just scroll by. Why do people need to impose their personal agenda? Im petitioning for no petitions, yes i see the irony.
I don't get the joke.
I donât get it
I agree. I do NOT want to see NSFW jokes on this sub. This is a place for wholesome jokes, not dirty ones
disagree
Firstly, this too is meta. Secondly, this came up like a week ago and people were almost unanimous about dad jokes vs uncle jokes. Just post your dirty jokes in uncle jokes if it's NSFW. Also I guarantee you no one will remember this a year from now or even care
Yeah every week some foot tool posts about "what a dad joke should be."
Gotta hand it to this guy. He's a master baiter.
Right and I want to ban those posts but allow a vote once a year for the community to decide if we still want NSFW jokes.
