A new study published by the British Psychological Society found that dad jokes have the capacity to make us better humans. Dad jokes show a father figure's willingness to embarrass himself repeatedly and subconsciously teach kids to be alright with awkwardness and how to respond to it. Kids continually exposed to eye-rolling humor build up a natural immunity to judgement and embarrassment, and become adults who feel empowered to be themselves.
Dad jokes are important for children's development as they help them learn to cope with embarrassment and build resilience. Teasing and rough-and-tumble play can support a child's physical and cognitive development. Dad jokes have three levels: puns, anti-humor, and weaponized anti-humor when used to tease, annoy, or embarrass children. Despite the groans and eye rolls, dads are encouraged to continue with their unfunny jokes as they may even do their children some good.
