ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

dad jokes

Dad jokes are jokes that are usually corny and goofy. They're usually told by dads to make kids laugh. Dad jokes usually have a setup and a punchline, like, "Why did the chicken go to the playground? To get some exercise!" The punchline is, "Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide!" Kids usually understand the joke because it's easy to get, and they usually end up laughing.
