👔 Classic Dad Joke

My wife asked me to stop singing Wonderwall...

I said maybe.

Why This Joke Works

No wordplay needed — "maybe" is the most iconic single lyric from Oasis's Wonderwall, so responding to a request to stop singing it with "maybe" IS continuing the song. The punchline is the song. The joke doesn't explain itself and doesn't need to.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say "I said maybe" with total deadpan calm and the faintest trace of a smile — underselling it completely is what makes it work.

Perfect for:

  • •At a family gathering when someone pulls out a guitar and the 90s repertoire begins
  • •When a dad is being indulgently nostalgic about Oasis on Father's Day
  • •Any time someone is singing Wonderwall and needs to be stopped — or encouraged

💡 Did You Know?

Father's Day was made a national holiday in 1972, but dads have been telling bad jokes since the dawn of fatherhood itself.
