The design world is ripe for dad jokes — you know dad jokes, don’t you? They’re a particular brand of clean, G-rated jokes that almost always result in the listener groaning and rolling their eyes? They usually involve puns, too. Like that guy who walked around IKEA, torturing his girlfriend with product puns — total dad joke master.
In case you’d like to take the opportunity this Father’s Day to pay tribute to the dads of the world with silly jokes, here is a big list to get you started.
