About

Meet Dad

Mid-forties, a cloud of curly hair going grey, a salt-and-pepper beard, round glasses and a shirt louder than his jokes. Dad has one joke a day, delivers it with total confidence, and is never embarrassed.

Dad Jokes prints one page every day: a new illustrated dad joke, free to read and free to share. Groan, laugh, send it to someone who deserves it, and come back tomorrow. Streaks are kept on your device, no account needed.

The site is paid for by ads, and by people who like the jokes enough to buy the 2027 book or something from the shop.

Dad, in a flowered shirt, points straight at you: I want to tell YOU a joke.

Made with AI, and proud of it

Yes, Dad uses generative AI. The pictures are made with AI image tools, and AI lends a hand with the editing, the headlines and the code that prints this paper. Dad is delighted about it. It is the reason one dad can put out a fresh illustrated joke every single day, and keep the whole paper free to read.

The machine is a very good intern, and it is not the boss. A person chooses every joke, decides how the page looks and signs off on it before it prints. The ideas are Dad’s, and so is the blame for the puns.

How streaks work

Read the page on consecutive days and your streak grows. Miss a day and it starts over. Your streak lives on your device: no account, no email, nothing to remember.
