👔 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.
