   A joke is a dad joke when it becomes apparent

   Dancing – my junior high experience was like Tony’s, no one went with a date. There was really zero need for slow dances, but the DJ played them anyway. Then the teachers decided us NOT dancing at that time was not ok, so they went around and forcefully paired us together (my wrist hurt the rest of the night).

   I did have some small unit one time in gym class about square dancing, I think in grade school. I do not think that was the most useful type of dancing to teach. As an adult, I’ve taken ~4 ballroom dancing classes (3 of them were the beginner class over and over again) through the community college, which I’ve really enjoyed. My husband and I are ok at it – not great by actual dancing standards, but quite good vs. our peer group at weddings or work functions with a DJ. The real key is to look like you’re having fun and whatever happens was planned.

   First boy-girl party. The first week of college, my roommate told me that this party we were planning to go to was going to be her first boy-girl party. There was no dancing, it was a pretty typical college party, where people just hang out, it just happened to have both boys and girls in attendance. It was unbelievable how big a deal she found this party to be.

   I think William or Tony said something at one point about go-to dance moves or already made the Wright moves pun (if it were the pun, it was for sure Tony, as I don’t think William knows the song).

   I agree with William, it’s not a dad joke if it contains a brothel. Dad jokes should be understood by, and content appropriate for 5 year-olds, even if they don’t get the double meaning. The “fighting at knight” one is a good example. They are so lame that by the time you’re 10, you roll your eyes at that your dad would be still telling this joke. I’m disappointed in you guys that you feel there is only one mom-joke ever and it’s about a Garbage Sale. I expected more discussion/debate/a higher caliber from you.

     The Garbage Sale joke is just the only one I’ve ever heard of. Despite what Strong Bad says, I have the utmost faith that there is quite the repository of Mom jokes out there…
