Who Needs a Comedy Special When You Have These Boomer Dad Jokes?

Dark Humor Time

This one’s edgy — a jacket stolen by someone in a wheelchair. It pushes the boundaries of good taste but lands the joke by flipping expectations and adding a dose of irony. “They can’t run, but they can hide” is the kind of line that makes you chuckle nervously and then think about how humor helps us deal with awkward moments.

Dark humor isn’t for everyone, but it often speaks to our ability to cope with tough situations. This dad doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable — he dives in headfirst and adds a punchline. If done with the right tone, even the most unexpected scenarios can become oddly funny.
