Time to learn the very scientific* balance of a dad joke!
You're sitting down to a breakfast of eggs when your dad tries to crack you up with a dad joke. Do you think it's eggcellent or do you let out an eggsasperated sigh? Today we're going to talk about these jokes and get the full analysis on them. (Really, there's gonna be pie charts!)
The Jokes
We obviously need someone to tell the jokes. This person is 30% clumsy, 30% memory loss, and 40% burying their emotions with jokes. They are quick with a witty (yet stupid) line to lighten any mood. If you were stuck on the Titanic, you would want to be stuck with them. Slight Drawback: they sometimes make jokes at the wrong time.
The Eyeroll
The Eyeroll is a key component in Dad Jokes because they fuel The Jokes even more. This person is 20% Wednesday Adams, 40% negativity, and 40% stubborn. As soon as a joke is told they breathe in the intoxicated air, feel the urge to vomit, and have their eyes roll into the back of their head. If they hear three of these jokes in a week they may need to be hospitalized.
The Laughers
The Eyeroll might encourage The Jokes to keep making jokes until one lands, but The Laughers are the real fuel. These people are 30% little kid, 20% Disney laugh track, and 50% sugar rushes. These people are secretly kids stuck in older bodies and a side effect is having a really strange laugh. They go crazy for any type of sugar and are probably still learning to tie their shoes. Scratch that. They're never going to learn how to tie their shoes.
The Confused
There's always gonna be someone who doesn't understand the joke. In order to prove themselves The Joke will scramble (back to egg puns) to explain themselves. By then the joke isn't even funny. BUT this is absolutely necessary in slowing the laughter, and heart rate, of The Laughers. So, basically, they're lifesavers. Of course, they're never going to understand their importance in this process. This person is 15% empty space, 30% lost in life, 35% asleep, and 20% a life saver.
Well, there you have it; the required components of a Dad Joke! Surprisingly, dads don't even have to be a part of it. If you've been cautious to tell one because you're not a dad, you now know you don't have to be. Just make sure to tell jokes in a way that will Eat People With Kindness!
