No matter how funny you are, you know that you’ll never reach your peak comedic potential until you become a dad.
Scientists don’t know exactly why this happens, but becoming a dad suddenly grants you access to every joke in human history, but curses you with the ability to only tell the ones which will elicit the biggest groan from your audience.
We’ve made no secret of our love of dad jokes here at JOE, and this one ranks right up there with the best (or down there with the worst, if you’re a joyless husk who can’t appreciate their beautiful art).
Marie Venezia is an 18-year-old student from Arizona, and as students often do, she decided to treat herself with a new tattoo.
The American decided she would get a knife along her forearm, but she wasn’t ready for the sharp wit her of father upon seeing it for the first time.
While apparently initially grumpy, her dad quickly realised the potential for hilarity and began impersonating his daughter.
In the words of Marie herself, her dad “wouldn’t stop giving me shit for it” as he reached his final form as the king of the dads.
We just hope she told him how mad she was, to set him up for the ultimate finisher: the “Hi mad, I’m dad.” joke.
