    That’s basically a knock knock joke.
    A dad joke is something said in conversations.

      Dad jokes can come in many forms, it does not matter how, where or why it is said for that is not what makes a dad joke a dad joke. All that matters is that sweet sweet “Uggghhhh dad” you get from your kids/teens for that is where Dad jokes live and die.

          Usually you make your first dad joke when your kid is born. If it didn’t happen for you, you might need to go back and ask the doctor to hold you upside down and slap you on the ass.

          Didn’t you receive your welcome kit in the mail after your SO had a confirmed pregnancy? Additional training opportunities are discussed on page 420 of the handbook

      Dad jokes are classically built around puns, as is the case here.

      Setting up context doesn’t make this a knock knock joke.

          Setting up a stupid question just to deliver a pun as a punchline is 100% a dad joke in my book.

          I’m interested to hear what you think is required for a joke to be a dad joke.
