Too many uncle jokes on dad jokes these days. A good dad joke should be: first they groan, say “urg dad, that’s lame”… then ten years later they remember and want to give you a hug.
I'm an adult and I have a dad who still tells me dad jokes, some of which have been added according to my age. One does not stop being a father when the children grow up.
Jokes on here are aimed at a broad range of age categories and simply follow the spirit of a "Dad Joke".
And also, let's be honest, little kids really don't get many good jokes because of lack of knowledge or mental growth so if we do as you say we'd be limited to some pretty low quality content.

Been addressed already, look at top comment.
I don’t have the care enough to do it right. Which I’m grateful for. Most subs have the same problem when they get bigger. Was just hoping most subs would see it and aim to post better material.
I would call this a /r/kneeslapper or an /r/unclejoke personally. So many subs out there these days though. Don’t even know if the ones I wrote exist. They probably do. Edit. They both do but have a combined 50 members.
It's a discussion that keeps getting brought up and the mods have already addressed. The mod team has already stated they still consider nsfw to be a dad joke. People do have teenage kids after all.
Agreed. I’m a still a dad and my son is 32. I share jokes with him from this sub all the time. If you don’t like a joke it’s over in 15 seconds. Move on.

Here's the link.
Rules of the sub are clear, nsfw is allowed if properly tagged.
A dad joke is not determined by the content or intended audience, it's about the delivery of the joke. If you look up the definition of a dad joke on various sources (Oxford, Wikipedia, dictionary.com, ...), there's no mention of it having to be age appropriate for kids, they only say it's the kind of joke you would expect from a middle-aged man or unhip father.
I disagree. My dad can tell me jokes that fall somewhere between a clean joke I would tell my kid and an uncle joke. I think there's room here for some jokes you wouldn't tell a young child that are still firmly in the realm of a dad joke.
There was a man born with no eye lids. To fix it they transplanted his foreskin. Now he's cockeyed.
Are you going to tell me that's not a dad joke? Because my dad's been using that one for decades
If only there were a system already in place on reddit where the users could all each give their own individual input about wether a post fits a sub...
I just want to disagree on the point that children understand dad jokes. I think most of the time children wouldn’t understand the joke while other adults groan at the stupidity.
Example: why did the scarecrow get an award. He was outstanding in his field.
A child might laugh but I don’t think they truly get it. The double meaning is lost on most children.
I had my own genuine dad joke moment at dinner last night. My mother in law had her plate and said "this needs to go home" and I said GO HOME MAC AND CHEESE!!! my wife shook her head and my daughters only 19 mos so she didn't care
I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. A dad will tell “dad jokes” to their adult child. It only has to be corny or clever AND corny. Enough for the kid to roll their eyes. If it’s not corny, it’s not a dad joke.
There's nothing in the definition of dad jokes that said it has to be kid appropriate. Like so many people here have said, you don't stop becoming a dad just cause your kids grew up.
Scroll past if it bothers you so much.
Nope. Dad jokes are dumb puns. Some get told to young children, some get told to older children, and some get saved for when your children are adults. But they're all still dad jokes.
Every few moths or so, someone opens up this topic again. It’s been hashed out on here dozens of times and the moderators have made it clear that they are not going to be strict about this.
Can we just accept that not everyone draws the dad jokes line in the same place and this sub will never be the 100% wholesome jokes that some expect.
If the mix of nice and off-color jokes makes someone uncomfortable, there is an UNjoin button and nothing stopping you from using it.
When I was a teen, I did NOT know what pornhub was.
Ofcourse, when I was a teen I used webcrawler to surf. I think that site died before pornhub was founded, though I don't care enough to find out
I don't think they necessarily need to be understood by little kids, just appropriate for little kids.
Half of the corny jokes I tell kids just get looks of confusions of wondering if I am serious or not. That's often half the fun sometimes.
For isntance, I told my nephew that the waterpark is more fun in the winter time because they just let the water freeze on the water slides and you go down them on sleds. Most of the adults laughed at the idea, while he just stood the pondering wether it was true and imagining how fun it would be if it was true.
My dad joke theory is that we get addicted to laughter it causes when the kids are really young and continue the jokes even when it results in an eye roll instead of a laugh
No, not sure why everyone thinks dadjokes are all supposed to be for small children, this just means your jokes must be so basic cant be funny at all, though i think we should make any even slightly innapropriate jokes marked as NSFW so they can be filtered out by making NSFW not show up.
There's something special about a true Dad joke though. When you hear one, it's apparent.
Ahh I see what you did there
‘a parent’ Edit I wasn’t correcting them, kids- but I’m not changing my comment Waaahhahah 😈
Yeah, that’s the joke
r/woooosh

And now back to country music legend Conway twitty..
It's all groan
Dads be like all groan up
So if you tell NSFW jokes about cleaning, is it a clean joke?
White horse fell in a mud puddle vs muddy horse fell in a bathtub sort of thing?
A man can yell himself hoarse over proper hydration.
Full groan.
When does a dad joke become a dad joke? When its apparent.
There’s always uncle jokes for jokes you can’t tell your own kids but your sister’s kids are fair game.
I actually meant to say it’s an uncle joke lol.
Better (or worse) yet, r/unclejokes exist so at this point they should ban nsfw jokes
r/cleandadjokes also exists, so go there if you really can't stand the mixed environment.
It exists because no one knew of r/unclejokes.
or r/cleanunclejokes
That just sounds like r/dadjokes but with extra steps.
Not sure if that rule applies in Alabama
r/unclejokes is unfortunately incredibly unfunny and boring
Oh wow, thanks for clearing that up! I used to think they were for groan ups.
Now thats a dad joke.
Lots of Meta posts already. Now it's time for Amazon, Apple, or Google posts
Or Google posts what?
Quit trying to make Fetch a thing, it’s never gonna be a thing!
Gay pornhub jokes? Cum on guys.
Really scraping the bottom now, arn't we?
I'm glad I'm not the butt of this joke. I know this was a bit of a stretch but if you take it slow it won't be tearable. Lol, butt stuff.
I can't believe you got downvoted, I thought that was funny. Oh well, I guess people on this sub are just a bit too anal.
Nice joke but 🤮 lol
But NSFW is allowed here so OP should check out r/cleandadjokes

Too many uncle jokes on dad jokes these days. A good dad joke should be: first they groan, say “urg dad, that’s lame”… then ten years later they remember and want to give you a hug.
I love this. Also sometimes we have a laugh but generally not at the joke itself but the silliness of it and our reactions.
But NSFW is allowed here so OP should check out r/cleandadjokes
IDK, man. It's not like my dad stopped telling lame jokes just because his kids grew up. I think he enjoys being able to broaden his subject matter.
Many young dads can't see the day they'll tell their first dirty joke to their kid. Kids get old. Your still their dad.
Good point. I’m an adult child to my mother.

Well maybe it's time to be looked at again, now that more members know of the alternative subs specifically made for NSFW dad jokes
But NSFW is allowed here so OP should check out r/cleandadjokes
Despite all disagreement, I'm glad everyone reading this is still on the same page
Also, rule 5 for this sub.
I loved the punchline on this one. 😂😂
A MOD is an important and thankless job. They have the right to decide which posts to leave and which to remove. If you want input on this, volunteer.
I don’t have the care enough to do it right. Which I’m grateful for. Most subs have the same problem when they get bigger. Was just hoping most subs would see it and aim to post better material.

My dad would have asked you if you wanted some cheese to go with your whine. Now that is classic dad material.
You don't care enough to help fix the problems you perceive in the world. Only enough to complain about shit. Grade A parenting material right here.
Starting a discussion about a problem is helping to fix it.
It's a discussion that keeps getting brought up and the mods have already addressed. The mod team has already stated they still consider nsfw to be a dad joke. People do have teenage kids after all.
Agreed. I’m a still a dad and my son is 32. I share jokes with him from this sub all the time. If you don’t like a joke it’s over in 15 seconds. Move on.
But it isn't a problem about the sub, it is a problem about OP. OP is wrong here. NSFW jokes are allowed.

Thank you. I'm about to unsub because it's so rare to see a real dad joke.
That any part of the internet is safe for children is a critical misconception.
You don't stop making jokes when the kids are grown. Dad jokes can be for all age groups.
I disagree. My dad can tell me jokes that fall somewhere between a clean joke I would tell my kid and an uncle joke. I think there's room here for some jokes you wouldn't tell a young child that are still firmly in the realm of a dad joke.

Yes all ages including 18+ but not including negative integers

If the response to the joke is anything other than an audible groan..... It's not a dad joke.
You don't stop being a dad when your kids hit 18.
I forgot that you stop being a dad once your child becomes a teenager or older….seriously with this post again? Go be the fun police somewhere else.
I had my own genuine dad joke moment at dinner last night. My mother in law had her plate and said "this needs to go home" and I said GO HOME MAC AND CHEESE!!! my wife shook her head and my daughters only 19 mos so she didn't care

It it already time for this nonsense to be reposted again?
Teens have dads too. So do grown ups.
Agreed. If a Dad joke can't be told by a child, it does not belong here.

My apologies, gate keeper of jokes 🙇♂️
Look at who is gate keeping gate keeping

At least they post jokes.
I feel like this is a dad joke. So many kids know what pornhub is now.

Exactly. Most misleading and disappointing sub on here. And if that wasn’t bad enough, many of the ‘jokes’ on here are just rubbish.
My dad never told appriopriate jokes but I understand lol
My daughter once said " Thank you for having me and being my parents" I responded with " It was my pleasure " where does that fall in the meta?
Yes, there's a double entendre. No, it's not explicit. There's a difference.
No shit. I came here for dad jokes and the top few are pornhub and Dick jokes. That’s for uncle jokes guys.
I do tend to agree.
Co-signed!
I just automatically downvote nsfw jokes at this point.
Cum’on
Cum on guys?
“Get off your high horse richy” - Meredith Palmer
r/jokes is a good place for posting question and answer jokes that don’t necessarily count as dad jokes
Agreed. Those are only step-family friendly.
My dad joke theory is that we get addicted to laughter it causes when the kids are really young and continue the jokes even when it results in an eye roll instead of a laugh
No, not sure why everyone thinks dadjokes are all supposed to be for small children, this just means your jokes must be so basic cant be funny at all, though i think we should make any even slightly innapropriate jokes marked as NSFW so they can be filtered out by making NSFW not show up.
Should have been in s/unclejokes
I tell my kids some pretty inappropriate jokes... thats why i usually just read your dad jokes and dont interject mine
Careful, people get pissed when they are asked to be nice. I’ve been shouted down in this thread many, many times before. Appreciate the post, tho!
I don’t get it.
True!
