  • There is a certain wink at the camera implied in most dad jokes (at least in this dad’s) that I think is replaced with seeming earnestness in this example and in the vein that I’m thinking, but maybe I’m quibbling because I don’t want to have just “reinvented” dad jokes in my comment.


  • I don’t really have much to add but feel compelled to say that I really enjoy this type of comedy. Maybe there is already a name for it but I think of it as observational absurdism, or Incorrect Shower Thoughts.

    I rarely laugh out loud at it, but it makes me smile extra big to consider it.

    I love the idea of someone making a remark based on an absurdly incorrect observation or premise, and as a bonus, this type of comedy rarely has a “target”: it isn’t punch down or up. It’s punching itself if anything.

    Anyway, just saying.

    Wow this is really validating for me to read. I’ve been using Linux for a few years but I’m definitely not a computer expert and am intimidated by the command line.

    I’ve always felt like googling every command and arrowing up to find an old entry rather than just googling it again marked me as a fake Linux user, not a real one.
