      Dad jokes can come in many forms, it does not matter how, where or why it is said for that is not what makes a dad joke a dad joke. All that matters is that sweet sweet “Uggghhhh dad” you get from your kids/teens for that is where Dad jokes live and die.

      Dad jokes are classically built around puns, as is the case here.

      Setting up context doesn’t make this a knock knock joke.

          Setting up a stupid question just to deliver a pun as a punchline is 100% a dad joke in my book.

          I’m interested to hear what you think is required for a joke to be a dad joke.
