Dad jokes… we all know the ones; the corny one-liners that make us cringe (and sometimes die a bit inside with embarrassment) because they are so bad.

To celebrate all the dads out there, in the run up to Father’s Day greetings card company, thortful.com are compiling an index of the Ultimate Dad Jokes, to showcase all the dad humour in its cringiest form!

If you’re in need of some inspiration, thortful have shared some of the best dad jokes below:
