A dad joke is short, clean and built on a pun or on taking words too literally. The best ones are obvious the moment you hear them, which is why they get a groan and a grin at the same time. Timing does the rest: pause after the setup, let people guess, then deliver the punchline with a perfectly straight face.

Not until you have seen them all. The generator shuffles the jokes in your chosen topic like a deck of cards and deals them one at a time. Only when the deck runs out does it shuffle again, and it never starts the new round with the joke you just read.
When you copy or share a joke, it puts a short "no peeking" line and a few dots between the setup and the punchline. In a group chat that pushes the answer down a little, so friends can have a guess before they read it.
