Tips for Telling Dirty Dad Jokes Well!

• Confidence sells the joke. A dirty dad joke works best delivered completely deadpan, like you don’t realize how it sounds.
• Timing over shock value. The best ones rely on the listener’s brain going somewhere else before the harmless punchline lands — rushing the delivery kills the effect.
• Know your room. These are written to be safe for most audiences, but read the crowd — a family dinner and a guys’ night can call for slightly different energy even with the same joke.
• Pair with a straight face. The less you smirk before the punchline, the harder the joke lands.
