Dad jokes refer to a variety of failed attempts at humor made by fathers, embarassingly bad jokes that they didn't realize themselves.
Dad jokes指老爸們想要表現(xiàn)一下幽默卻導致冷場的笑話,，講得不好笑卻不自知的笑話，好尷尬,。即“老爸笑話”,。
While the exact origin of the term “dad joke” is unknown, the earliest known use of the term online was posted in a thread by B3ta Forums member rob on December 10th, 2003, which asked other members to submit “l(fā)ame jokes” made by their fathers. In the first 48 hours, the thread received 15 pages worth of replies.
Dad joke這個說法的確切起源目前尚不可考，已知的最早來源是B3ta論壇上一位叫rob的網(wǎng)友在2003年12月10日發(fā)表的一個帖子,，讓論壇的其他成員提交自己老爸曾經(jīng)講過的“蹩腳的笑話”,。在帖子發(fā)出后的48小時內(nèi)，就引來整整15頁的回復,。
