👔 Classic Dad Joke

What does a house wear?

Address!

Why This Joke Works

The word 'address' splits into 'a dress' — so a house literally wears a dress, but also every house has an address. It's one of those puns that's so clean and simple it almost feels like the English language was designed for this joke.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Ask it with the tone of a genuine fashion question, like houses have feelings about their outfits. Say 'address' normally and let people's brains do the split into 'a dress' on their own.

Perfect for:

•Helping your kid with their first homework assignment about home addresses
•House hunting with your partner and trying to keep spirits up
•When a realtor asks if you have any questions about the property

💡 Did You Know?

Comedy researchers have found that the best jokes follow a "2-3-1" rhythm: two beats of setup, three beats of building tension, one beat of punchline. Most great dad jokes follow this pattern naturally.
