We rate every dad joke on a five-point groan scale, from polite exhale to full eye-roll with audible sigh.
- Level 1: a gentle nose laugh
- Level 3: the slow head shake
- Level 5: someone leaves the room

If you groaned, the joke worked. If you laughed, please seek help.
A quick note on how this post came together: the idea arrived in our tips inbox, survived two editorial meetings, one argument about whether it was actually funny, and a vote that was decided by the office cat walking across the keyboard. We cleaned it up, checked every detail, and added only the jokes we could defend in front of our mothers.
