Welcome to Ox and Marko's Dad Joke Book! Join us on a laughter-filled journey through the ages as we explore the rich history of 'Dad Jokes,' from ancient civilisations to modern times.
While the term "dad joke" may be relatively recent, the roots of this beloved form of humour stretch far back into history. In ancient civilisations such as Egypt, Greece, and Rome, humour played a significant role in entertainment and communal bonding. Texts like the "Tale of the Eloquent Peasant" in ancient Egypt and the comedic plays of Aristophanes in ancient Greece showcased witty wordplay and clever puns, often used to elicit laughter and amusement from audiences.
As societies evolved, so too did the tradition of dad jokes. With the rise of modern fatherhood in the 20th century, dads found new avenues for unleashing their corny humour, from radio shows to television sitcoms. Today, the internet serves as a vast repository of dad jokes, with countless websites and social media platforms dedicated to sharing groan-inducing puns and one-liners.
