How do we know when a joke becomes a dad joke?

When it becomes apparent.

If only I was a dad, then I might have won the Aldi Mamia Best Dad Joke competition with that cracker.

But this isn’t about me, it’s about more than 2 700 “gag-loving dads” from the UK who submitted their best (worst) jokes for the competition in celebration of Father’s Day, reports Sky News.

On Twitter, fathers battled it out to win the competition with the hashtag #BestDadJokes, which started to trend.

Mark Watson, who has extensive knowledge on how jokes work due to his profession as a stand-up comedian, was the judge.

He picked father-of-two Austin May from Bedworth, Warwickshire, as the overall winner. Ready yourselves:

I once hired a limo but when it arrived, the guy driving it walked off!

I said “Excuse me? Are you not going to drive me?”

The guy told me that the price didn’t include a driver…

… so I’d spent £400 on a limo and have nothing to chauffeur it!

Winner? More like wincer…

Some of Watson’s other favourite entries were:

• Why did the man fall down the well? Because he didn’t see that well!
• What did the pirate say on his eightieth birthday? “Aye Matey!”
• Someone has glued my pack of cards together – I don’t know how to deal with it.
• What do you call a zombie who cooks stir-fries? Deadman wok-ing
• I was wondering why the frisbee kept looking bigger and bigger, and then it hit me
• I was stood behind a customer at an ATM and he turned around and said “could you check my balance?” – so I pushed him. His balance wasn’t that great.
• Why did the scarecrow get an award? Because he was OUTstanding in his field!
• What did the daddy buffalo say to his son when he left for work? Bison
• Two guys walked into a bar. The third guy ducked.
• What do you call a blind dinosaur? A Doyouthinkhesaurus!

Now that you have dad jokes in your arsenal, you can go out and strike like a professional.

I think there’s too much dad in me…

Anyway, Happy Father’s Day to all for this past Sunday, we hope the celebrations were better than your jokes!
