Because sometimes they are truly funny. The punchline is so simple and harmless that it gets a laugh out of you. A true dad joke is the one that you see coming, and it isn't finished until you roll your eyes.
Let's be honest, we've all laughed at a dad joke. Maybe you tried to resist, but then you look at your dad's expectant face and end up laughing. Dads are counting on it. They expect your laugh and literally wait for it. If you didn't make some kind of reaction, dads would never attempt to tell a dad joke again. But you do, we do, everyone does. It's impossible not to react because it's funny that someone was brave enough to say that pun out loud.
The puns sometimes are good, and sometimes are just said with the right amount of confidence. They may come up in any normal conversation, and dads make it sound like the funniest punchline in human history, even though the joke has probably existed for decades. Still, it gets us.
And you don't have to be a dad to tell a dad joke. Uncles tell them. Friends tell them. You can tell them. You only need a well-thought-out word pun and the courage to say it out loud. You have to be brave. Dad jokes are only for the brave. But don't worry, people will laugh. Or at least you'll get some reaction. So the next time you see an opportunity for a dad joke, take it. Say it proudly. After all, at some point in life, everyone reaches an age when they can appreciate a terrible pun.
