20 Father’s Day dad jokes to make you laugh (or cry!)

There are some things that Aussie dads take very seriously: the perfect barbecue, a regulation lawn length, and of course, the dad joke!

With Father’s Day just around the corner, we’ve put together 20 punny (hah) one-liners sure to show dad the love on his special day.

Fair warning – there may be eye rolling involved!

1. Someone glued my pack of cards together. I honestly don't know how to deal with it.

2. Why did the lawnmower apply for a holiday? Because it was tired of being pushed around.
3. Why did the tradie bring a pencil to lunch? He wanted to draw his own conclusions.
4. Why was the sausage nervous at the barbecue? There was too much at steak.
5. Why did the thongs refuse to go to the beach? They were sick of getting walked all over.
6. Why did the ute go to therapy? It was carrying too much baggage.
7. I can tell the weather better than the BoM. My knee predicts a 70% chance of showers.
8. I called up the hospital and said, "Help, my wife is going into labour!" The nurse asked, "Is this her first child?" I said, "No, I'm her husband."
9. Dad refuses to pay someone to assemble flat-pack furniture. Why spend $80 when you can lose an entire Saturday for free?
10.  I like to give the garden a motivational speech. To encourage a little personal growth. 
11.  Why did the barbecue refuse to argue? It didn’t want to get fired up.
12.  Why did Dad put his toolbox in the fridge? He wanted some cool tools. 
13.  Why did the hammer get kicked out of the hardware store? It kept hitting on everything. 
14.  Why did Dad take the wheelie bin out for dinner? He wanted to take the rubbish somewhere nice for once.
15. What does an Australian dad call a perfectly cooked steak? Proof that nobody else should be allowed near the barbecue.
16.  Dad said he was going to spend Sunday getting on top of the garden.
He put a chair on the lawn and opened a beer.
17. I asked Dad why he keeps every leftover bit of timber. “That could come in handy.”
Some of it has been coming in handy since around 1998.
18. My wife asked why I was staring at the fuse box for an hour. I told her I was waiting for inspiration to strike.
19. I accidentally swallowed a small lithium battery today. The doctor said I'm stable, but he wants to monitor my discharge.
20. I bought a smart light bulb that syncs with my mood. It’s been flickering in panic all morning.

If you’re not laugh crying by now, we think you should be!

Whether your dad is the king of the one-liner, a master of the questionable pun or just enjoys making the whole family groan in horror, Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to give him a taste of his own medicine.
