This meme is split into two parts: the top section has repeated text reading "dad is typing..." three times, followed by the line "Dad :", below which is a still frame of Tom the cat from the animated series *Tom and Jerry*. Tom is grinning widely, looking happy, and holding his hand up in a thumbs up gesture. The joke plays on the common relatable experience of waiting a long time for a father to finish typing a message over chat, only to receive a short, low-effort positive reaction like a thumbs up instead of the long message you expected.

This meme uses relatable humor about parental hypocrisy. The text at the top first shows a dad scolding his child for shouting at their video game, calling the game stupid. The next line introduces the dad's behavior when he watches a football game, paired with an image of Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. screaming loudly with his mouth wide open and arms outstretched, to illustrate that the dad gets equally or more emotional over sports, making his criticism of the child's gaming hypocritical.

This is a 3-panel comedic meme using footage from the TV show *The Walking Dead*. In the first panel, Rick Grimes asks his son Carl if he has heard about a man who dipped his testicles in glitter, and Carl begs his father not to tell the joke. In the second panel, Rick delivers the pun punchline: "It was pretty nuts". In the third panel, Rick leans in closer to Carl to repeat the punchline, calling Carl "Coral" to reference the popular long-running meme of Rick's thick southern accent making him pronounce Carl's name to sound like "Coral". The joke relies on a double entendre: the word "nuts" is both a common slang term for testicles and a term meaning crazy or absurd.

This is a 3-panel meme using the iconic elevator fight scene from Captain America: Civil War. In the first panel, Captain America asks the question 'what's a bacteria's favourite direction?'. In the second panel, one of the men in the elevator responds 'what?', and Captain America answers 'yEast'. The third panel shows all the men in the elevator immediately starting to attack Captain America, as an exaggerated reaction to the cringey pun. The joke relies on wordplay: 'yeast', a common microbe often mentioned alongside bacteria in biology, is a perfect homophone for 'east', a cardinal direction.

This is a screenshot of a popular Tumblr text post featuring a pun-based dad joke and a follow-up user comment. The initial post tells a joke about a Mexican magician who tells his audience he will disappear when he counts to 3. He begins counting in Spanish: "uno, dos...", then vanishes in a puff of smoke before reaching 3, with the punchline reading "He disappeared without a tres". This is a pun playing on the common English phrase "without a trace", as "tres" is the Spanish word for 3, pronounced almost identically to "trace" in English. The follow-up comment below expresses exaggerated frustration at how much the silly, low-brow joke amused the commenter. The post shows over 329,629 notes, indicating it was widely shared and well-received on Tumblr.

This is a single-panel comedy meme. At the top, text with a typo reads 'Pov:trying to imgine ur dad as a baby'. Below the text, an image shows a swaddled infant lying on a white bed with a pillow behind its head, but the infant has the fully grown, stern, heavily jawed masculine face of Yujiro Hanma from the Baki anime/manga franchise. The joke taps into the relatable experience of attempting to picture one's adult father as a baby, where the mind can only superimpose his current adult face onto a baby's body, leading to an absurd, humorous visual.

The image shows two adult otters standing upright on a rock surface inside a zoo enclosure, facing the viewing glass. The left otter, framed as the mother, holds her small infant otter up proudly as if displaying her baby to visitors. The right otter, framed as the father, holds a smooth round rock up in an identical proud posture, as if showing off his trivial favorite item instead of a child. Bold white text below the photo explicitly states this contrast, creating a lighthearted relatable joke about stereotypical differences in what mothers and fathers choose to proudly show off to others.

This is a two-panel pun meme. The top panel features the popular 'Science Cat' (a fluffy white cat wearing round black glasses and a red bowtie) sitting in a laboratory setting surrounded by chemistry glassware, with a chalkboard full of doodles in the background. The text above the cat asks 'WHAT DO YOU CALL AN ALLIGATOR IN A VEST?', with the punchline text below reading 'AN INVESTIGATOR' - a pun playing on the phonetic similarity between 'investigator' and 'in vest' + 'alligator/gator'. The bottom panel shows a digitally edited image of an alligator wearing a black police bulletproof vest marked 'POLICE' and black sunglasses, standing in greenish water. The text below this alligator reads 'I'M DONE. GOODNIGHT.' alongside a sleepy, tired emoji, conveying the alligator's exasperated reaction to the corny dad joke.

This meme features a top text caption paired with a screenshot of Rick Grimes from the TV series *The Walking Dead*. The caption reads "How your dad looks at you when you don't want to help him move 10000 pounds of dirt at 6am on a Sunday". Rick Grimes has a tired, stern, judgmental stare directed at the viewer, which is used to humorously represent the unimpressed, annoyed look fathers often give their children when they decline to help with unreasonably labor-heavy, inconveniently timed chores on rest days.

This 4-panel meme uses screenshots from the 1999 adventure film *The Mummy*. In the first panel, the character Evy (played by Rachel Weisz) lies on sandy ground talking to Rick O'Connell, saying 'Back in my day we listened to music on CDs'. The second panel shows a confused Rick (played by Brendan Fraser) asking 'What are CDs?'. In the third panel, Evy delivers a crude pun: 'CDs nuts Ha gottem', which is a play on the popular internet 'deez nuts' joke, where 'CDs' sounds like 'see deez'. The fourth and final panel shows Evy immediately passing out/dying, as a punchline to the excessively corny and low-effort joke.

This is a 3-panel photo meme featuring a yellow Labrador retriever. In the first panel, a landline phone is held up to the dog's ear, with a caption stating the person on the other end of the line says 'Wow I never talked to a dog on the phone before'; the dog looks happy and excited, and a smiling woman is visible in the background. In the second panel, the dog responds asking 'Wanna hear a joke? What does a dog and a phone have in common?', still looking cheerful. In the third panel, the dog delivers the punchline: 'They both have collar ID..' The punchline is a homophone pun, as 'collar ID' (the identification tag on a dog's collar) sounds identical to 'caller ID', a standard phone feature. The dog has a deadpan, unamused expression after delivering the bad pun, while the woman in the background continues to smile.

This is a 3-panel corny dad joke meme that uses the famous confrontation and fight template from the 2016 Marvel film *Captain America: Civil War*. The top panel poses a question: 'What do Lawyers wear to Court?'. The middle panel gives two responses: first a straightforward answer 'They wear Suits.', which is corrected to the pun punchline 'No, They wear Lawsuits.'. The bottom panel shows an all-out fight breaking out between the two groups of characters, which is the standard use of this template to show negative reaction to a bad joke. The humor comes from the pun: 'suit' refers to the formal clothing lawyers wear, while a 'lawsuit' is a legal proceeding, creating a corny dad joke wordplay.
