What do you call a dad who's done it all?
Retired!
Why This Joke Works
"Retired" answers the question with maximum efficiency — it means both having completed a career AND being someone who has done everything there is to do. The joke implies that retirement is the natural finish line of a man who has checked off every box life has to offer.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Deliver "Retired!" with a long, satisfied exhale and a recliner-settling energy — the physical performance sells the done-ness of it all.
Perfect for:
- •At a dad's retirement party when someone asks what comes next
- •Father's Day when dad is at or near retirement age
- •When toasting an older dad who has genuinely worked hard his whole life
