I gave my houseplants a performance review.
They asked for more room to grow.
#01A good dad joke takes something ordinary, gives it one unexpected turn, and leaves you smiling despite yourself. These six clean jokes keep the setups short and the wordplay wonderfully unnecessary.

They asked for more room to grow.
#01Every roll has a backstory.
#02Its days were numbered anyway.
#03It holds up my questionable decisions.
#04It folds under pressure.
#05Now every morning starts with a steaming solo.
#06Read the setup, pause for a beat, then deliver the punchline as if it is the most reasonable thing you have ever said. The houseplant joke works especially well when someone has just mentioned their garden. No explanation required; the groan counts as applause.
