A dad joke is a short, clean, wholesome joke that relies on a simple pun or wordplay. It's intentionally corny or groan-worthy, typically delivered deadpan by someone who thinks it's far funnier than it actually is.
The humor comes as much from the delivery and the collective eye-roll as from the joke itself. Classic example:
"I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down."

Based on Bored Panda's traffic data, the consistently most-read categories are Adult Jokes (120k+ monthly readers), Dark Humor, and Poop Jokes. Short-form humor (one-liners, anti-jokes, and dry wit) has seen a sharp rise in the past two years, driven by social media sharing.
Seasonal spikes happen around holidays: dad jokes and clean family humor peak around Father's Day and Christmas; dark humor tends to spike around Halloween.
Dark humor (also called black comedy) finds comedy in topics that are normally considered taboo or serious: death, tragedy, illness, or moral failure. Rather than trivializing these subjects, dark humor uses them as a lens to expose absurdity or release tension.
Research suggests people who enjoy dark humor tend to score higher on emotional intelligence and use humor as a coping mechanism. It's not mean-spirited enjoyment of others' pain; it's a recognition that laughing at difficult things can make them less frightening.
Bored Panda's Dark Humor collection curates jokes that punch at ideas and situations, not at people.
Absolutely. Several categories on Bored Panda are completely safe for all ages:

Timing, delivery, and audience. A perfectly written joke can die in the wrong room, and the worst pun in history can bring down the house if the timing is right. That said, if your jokes consistently don't land, we gently suggest browsing our one-liners; shorter jokes leave less room for things to go wrong.
Yes, and we encourage it. Find the category that fits your joke best, scroll to the comments section, and drop it there. If it's funny enough, the community will let you know. If it's not, well, at least you tried.
