The image displays a clear plastic tub of hommus (hummus) placed on a dark countertop. A narrow channel has been scooped through the center of the hommus, leaving two large portions of the dip on either side of the channel, visually resembling a narrow water passage between two landmasses. Below the tub, two crying laughing emojis are placed next to three wilted rose emojis, followed by the text 'strait of hommus'. The meme is a humorous pun referencing the Strait of Hormuz, a real geographic strait between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, playing on the nearly identical pronunciation of 'Hormuz' and 'hommus'. The wilted rose emojis emphasize that the joke is a corny, dad-joke style pun, while the crying laughing emojis show amusement at the silly wordplay.

This image is a screenshot of a text message conversation between a child and their dad. The child sends a message asking their dad to arrange a taxi for them at 7am the next day. The dad first replies 'Ok' to acknowledge the request, the child thanks him, and the dad responds with a thumbs up emoji. At 7am the following day, the dad sends the punchline message: 'You're a taxi', which is a corny dad joke playing on the double interpretation of the phrase 'call me a taxi' -- the child meant 'order a taxi for me', while the dad pretends to interpret it as 'address me as a taxi'.

This image is a screenshot of a viral X (formerly Twitter) post. The user recounts a humorous, ironic story: they asked their father to help them replace the motherboard of their Xbox console. The father sarcastically replied, "do i look like a fucking rocket scientist?", unaware that the user knows he previously worked for NASA, meaning he is literally qualified as a rocket scientist/advanced aerospace engineer, creating a funny, relatable example of dry dad humor. The post was published at 1:13 AM on November 11, 2018, and has accumulated 15.8K retweets and 118K likes. The poster uses an anime character as their profile picture, with the display name 'ashley' and handle @lesbianuraraka.

The meme features a real photograph of an asbestos abatement worker in full protective white hazmat gear, respirator mask, and gloves, kneeling in an unfinished wooden attic working to remove pink fibrous insulation. An off-screen speaker is represented by a speech bubble in the lower left that reads 'Hey, can you hurry up and remove this dangerous material?!'. The worker's reply appears as large white text with a black outline in the upper right corner: 'I'M TRYING ASBESTOS I CAN!'. The joke is a homophonic pun, replacing the phrase 'as best as' with 'asbestos', the dangerous material the worker is tasked with removing, creating a silly dad joke responding to the impatient request to rush a high-risk job.
