It’s the most wonderful time of the year indeed, but as we tell our parents what we subtly (or not so subtly) want stuffed in our stockings, and as the traditional non-PC relatives start their trail of not-really-ok shit talk, one thing often saves us. That pure piece of wisdom within a Christmas cracker/bon bon/whatever they’re affectionately known as to you – the Christmas dad joke.
And as you sit their slowly eating your overcooked ham or slightly underdone potatoes, festive paper crown on your head, that little sad dad joke just reminds you of the commercial realness that is Christmas 2k18.
So alas young elves, let us remind of you of some of the finest Christmas cracker dad jokes you’ll probably encounter this year. Because being merry and slightly let down by sub-par comedy is the truest feeling of the season.
Oh, and we’ve tee’d up each joke with the exact response you’re bound to have cause, relatable.
#1 Why did the reindeer cross the road? To get to the other sled.
#2 Why does Santa need therapy? He has low elf-esteem.
Good lord.
#3 What do you get if you cross Santa with a duck? A Chrismtmas quacker.
Great, animal breeding great image.
#4 What did Adam say to his wife on the day before Christmas? It’s Christmas, Eve!
How is this logistically possible.
#5 What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite!

Really jumping on snowman train here, aren’t we?

Well this is awkward.

Okay seriously, which perverted uncle wrote these?!?

Every middle-life crisis uncle and dad will love this one.
