🎯 Pun
What do you call someone who tells dad jokes but isn't a dad?
A faux pa.
Why This Joke Works
'Faux pas' (a social blunder) sounds exactly like 'faux pa' (a fake father) — a double pun targeting both the joke-teller's parentage and their social misstep. The meta quality of a dad-joke-about-dad-jokes gives it an extra layer of smug satisfaction.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Deliver with the smuggest possible expression — you ARE the faux pa, and you know it, and you're oddly proud of this designation.
Perfect for:
- •When a childless friend starts telling dad jokes at a party
- •At a comedy open mic when someone questions your dad-joke credentials
- •At a dad joke contest where parental status is verified at the door
💡 Did You Know?
The world record for most jokes told in one hour is 549, but quality beats quantity — a single well-timed dad joke can outperform a whole comedy set.
