Thanksgiving dad jokes are among the lamest safest of holiday conversation topics for you and your family to engaging in at the annual holiday feast. So, as a service to you (and disservice to those within earshot of you), I have scoured the Internet for the best/worst Thanksgiving dad jokes and puns to help you talk turkey.
You’re welcome.
And I’m sorry.
At a minimum, it will help you escape from watching the gourd-awful musical numbers being lip-synced at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade for a few minutes.
