not really a dad joke. dad jokes are generally puns.
Lately that's true but it wasn't always. Early on in the subreddit there was a lot more diversity. Dad joke just meant a kind of play on words (or ideas), not necessarily a pun. I miss that.
puns are play on words.
But puns aren't the only kind.
yeah I mean the classic hi whoever im dad is not a pun but this meme is nothing at all like a dad joke.
