‘Bad dad jokes’ get glory on East Coast Breakfast
The cheesiest jokes of them all now have their very own feature - Darren Maule’s Bad Dad Jokes which airs on East Coast Breakfast and features online every two weeks.
The segment sees Darren go head to head with someone, from a listener to a celebrity, and the first person to crack a laugh is the loser.
So what is classified as a bad dad joke? Darren explains, “It's a clean silly joke that is safe enough to tell the kids and simple enough for them to enjoy. Most people outgrow them but there seems to be a special place in our hearts for very bad, painfully lame, excruciatingly cheesy dad jokes, the worse the better ergo - Bad Dad Jokes.”
The feature is an opportunity to tell jokes that are normally socially frowned upon. Darren adds, “The game asks for the worst and the lamest jokes, so the pressure is off and anyone and everyone can compete.”
Darren Maule’s Bad Dad Jokes recently featured Tannie Evita Bezuidenhout and there is no telling who will go head to head with Darren next. It could be you, or someone you know pulling out their best one-liner.
He releases a video every 2 weeks of telling jokes to his guests and they tell him jokes back and they are not allowed to laugh.
