Your dad's got all the jokes — whether you like it or not. And even if you've heard it a million times before, it's hard not to laugh (or, well, roll your eyes) when he breaks out a silly one-liner from his endless supply of dad jokes.

But just because he's the king of corny puns and knock-knock jokes doesn't mean you can't try to give him a taste of his own medicine with these funny Father's Day jokes. Not only will they prove that you're following in his footsteps, but these predictable-yet-punny jokes are a great way to pay him back for all of the secondhand embarrassment you've endured throughout the years.

Sure, he'll be happy if you give him a thoughtful Father's Day gift or homemade card with a sweet message inside. But if humor is the way to your dad's heart, then show up to his Father's Day celebration with a list of cheesy jokes to tell. Plus, if you're looking for a fun Father's Day activity, you can make a game out of it and compete to see who can score the most laughs.

Who knows, you might even be surprised to find out that your dad doesn't already know what a pirate's favorite letter is. Spoiler alert: It's not "R."
