This is the best summary I could come up with:
Dad jokes are a distinct style of humour consisting of puns that are simple, wholesome and often involve a cheesy delivery.
These jokes usually feature obvious wordplay and a straightforward punchline that leaves listeners either chuckling or emitting an exaggerated groan.
A study published earlier this year found people enjoy puns more than most other types of jokes.
The authors also suggested that if you groan in response to a pun, this can be a sign you enjoy the joke, rather than find it displeasing.
Instead, fathers can revel in the embarrassment their dad jokes can produce around their image-conscious and sensitive adolescent children.
In fact, in a study, one of us (Marc) suggests the playful teasing that comes with dad jokes may be partly why they are such a widespread cultural phenomenon.
