Nope. This time I can't abide. There seems to be a culture here of mutual encouragement, that leads to upvoting everything no matter what. But this joke is simply awful. No good. Terrible. Very bad.
I'm not sure you know how dad jokes work. Most of them are simply awful, no good, terrible, and very bad. That's the point.
I disagree. Dad jokes are most often puns, and puns always elicit a groan, whether they're good or not. Dad jokes can be witty and/or clever, and that's what makes them good. This one is not.
