A pun is a type of wordplay that uses multiple meanings of a word or similar sounding words to create a humorous effect.
Although associated with fathers, “dad jokes” can be delivered by anyone. Most jokes we would label as corny (puns, basic rhymes, and clichés) are dad jokes.
Humor and social references are nearly impossible to teach. So… play some video games! Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a rich resource for puns and questionable (dad) jokes. Each game interaction is full of text that challenges even the best English speaker’s wit.
