3.4 When to tell a Dad joke

In general, Dad jokes can be told in any situation:

Dad jokes are not meant to be told on stage of a high-profile comedy show; they are meant to bring a lite laughter to any room in any situation.

— Nolen (2017), p. 4; emphasis added

That is, Dad jokes are not a formal means of comedy. Indeed, who would pay to listen to Dad jokes?

Do not expect to make a living by telling Dad jokes.

Did you hear about the man who was sacked from the calendar factory? He took a couple of days off.
