👔 Classic Dad Joke

Why did the coffee go to the police?

It got mugged!

Why This Joke Works

"Mugged" means both robbed (the crime coffee is reporting) and a coffee mug — the vessel coffee lives in. The crime framing makes "mugged" feel earned before the kitchen-item pun sneaks in.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Say "It got mugged!" with genuine outrage on behalf of the coffee — defending the victim makes the pun land harder.

Perfect for:

•During the morning coffee routine
•At a coffee shop hangout with friends
•When someone asks why you look tired and you blame your coffee supply

💡 Did You Know?

Studies show that "dad jokes" as a term surged in popularity after 2015, though fathers have been telling groan-worthy puns since at least ancient Rome. The format — short setup, obvious punchline — is designed to maximize eye rolls per word.
