The one yelling 'Turn that down!'
Why This Joke Works
No wordplay needed — the joke nails a universal truth. At any rock concert, amid thousands of people enjoying the volume, the dad is the one alarmed by it. The specificity of the image makes it universally recognizable to anyone who has ever attended a show with their father.

Yell "Turn that down!" in a slightly panicked, generation-gap voice — the commitment to the character is non-negotiable.
Perfect for:
