These are funny if you like these kind of jokes. I love the puns and the groaners so they are perfect!

Great idea for a book and really well executed. A thoroughly good read. Highly recommended. .

You know those books of jokes they sell for kids? This is like that, but cheesier, because, dads. Great collection of possibly the best dad jokes ever. Something to give to really any male figure in your life for any occasion at all, or just because. Be warned, if you give this to someone, you may be drowning in dad jokes for a while.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

We all have that one friend who likes to make cheesy jokes that make you cringe when you laugh at them. Doesn't it hurt you just a little when you hear a bad pun and it still makes you chuckle? Those are dad jokes. Here's a book you can give to that friend who just can't help himself. Or herself! Because in today's world, dad jokes aren't just for men - or dads, for that matter.
Anyone can partake in the painful punnery. Let this book be your guide.

Listen carefully and you can hear the groans and shouts of "Daaaaaad!" coming from Elias Hill's house. I imagine Hill's three kids in their role as official dad joke testers, and either loving it or hating it. His jokes just keep on coming. The author of a dozen or more joke books, his latest, Dad Jokes? I Think You Mean Rad Jokes, is full of the corny, groan-worthy jokes that his kids, surely, are tired of hearing.


Speaking as a dad, I am grateful for a source of really excellent jokes, riddles and puns to add to my own limited arsenal of dad jokes. Hill's jokes are original and funny. They're illustrated by Katherine Hogan in the same style as Hill's other books, in a Q and A format with black-and-white drawings of the speaker. Here's a sampling of the jokes:



What do you call an ape that likes to touch people? Chimp-handsy.
Would snails move faster if they just took off their shells? No, it would just make them more sluggish.
Our can opener is broken. Please refer to it now as the can't opener.

Dads, brush up on your dad joke skills, with Hill's help!





Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

Another collection of dad jokes by Elias Hill. I have loved all of the other books I have read by him and this is no different. They are dad jokes. Some are funny, some of stupid, some are full of puns. But it was a fun book, one I would read again when I needed a lift. I enjoyed it!

Unfortunately this book wasn't very good. There were several jokes, or as we should call them-"Dad jokes" because they are lame and old and insufferable. But somehow funny.

However, none of these were even slightly original or classic. These are jokes that you look up on the internet and find in a list of a blog, or at least few of the ones you hear all the time. There was nothing spectacular about this book and my high hopes were crushed. But I do recommend them to "dads" or family members who have a close relationship with their family and need a few jokes. Or, it could be a good April Fools present. Either way, it wasn't really my thing even though I wish it had been!

I don't think it's a bad book but I find myself disappointed by it by a large margin. I do believe other people will have a better use or experience with it.

Who doesn't love a bad dad joke or two?
A cute gift book with illustrations of the dad telling the jokes with speech bubbles.
A good variety of jokes, surely a few to get a chuckle

Several great jokes, that cover all awkward or hilarious moments any dad or other male might find himself.

Some jokes, I really liked and laughed at, others not so much. However its a good book to spend 30 minutes of your time.

I braced myself before opening up this book filled with 101 new "dad jokes". The book is illustrated so that it actually looks like Dads are telling the jokes. I think that most of these will make you chuckle - but I'm not saying if they will because you think they are funny or because they are just that bad...

Some of my favorites included:

I sympathize with batteries. I'm never included in anything either.

If I hear you slam the doors one more time... I'll be really upset 'cause that's my favorite band.

Definitely a very punny book and sure to get you some laughs and definitely some groans if you read it out loud to a group!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

A quick read which was full of new bad jokes. The kind your dad would tell.

I am not a Dad, but oh well. I felt rebelious and entered the sacred territory of the Dad joke!!

I read every joke out to my daughter (and co-blogger) and I struggled because these jokes are undoubtedly ‘Dad jokes’ but some of them had me in tears and my daughter having to (impatiently) wait for me to gain enough control to actual read out the rest of the joke.

I can honestly say that this would be the perfect gift for anyone, male or female, Dad or not. It’s not a big book but it certainly packs a punch(line)

I was given a copy of this book by the Publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I received a copy of this from Netgalley for an honest review. I have to say this was not what I’d hoped it would be. Some of the jokes are okay and as promised, cheesy puns. Many, however, are not good. Sadly, I can’t give this one a glowing review.

As a father, I love a good dad joke as much as the next guy. Unfortunately I don't think there are too many good ones here. This is more like a book of tortured puns. The comic presentation helps a little, but not enough to redeem it.

Some funny, some I've heard before.

I love a good pun. Some of these jokes were funny, but disappointingly most were not.

A nice enjoyable read for those who want a snicker or laugh outburst.

Are you in the market for a set of "bad", I mean Dad jokes? Did I mention cheap shots? I guess I missed that mark. Elias hill has a limited set of talking heads telling jokes and punchlines. As with any joke book, the reader is the decider on the scope of laughter generated and your mileage will vary. Do not expect a long joke, just a couple of liners (I know, bad pun). But just remember that you get what you pay for, read and enjoy while you can.

Thanks Netgalley for the "fee less" chance to review this book.

its funny... its quirky.
I feel if the illustration weren't so cheesy this might even be a gold mine.
I ran into about 10 dad jokes that were actually new to me. and even 1 joke that stayed with me.
what do you call a monkey who wont stop touching you?
<spoiler> a Chimp-Hanzy </spoiler>
I wanted more for how funny and great the title/cover is.
