My grandfather had a selection of Newfoundland yarns that he would tell at every family dinner. We probably heard these stories 100 times over the years and knew when to smile or laugh.

And truly, now that he’s gone, what I wouldn’t give to hear him tell one of them again….

I fear not the man who has told 1000 jokes, but the man who has told the same joke 1000 times

I love how pleased the dad looks.

Me when telling my family that we should Pokémon Go to the Polls to vote.

I live in a place where trains pass by often and they’re usually carrying coal.

If we see one while out and about, I’ll ask those with me, “do you know kind of train that is?”

And then I sing, “A coooooooooooal train!”.

I’ve done this many times and will do it again, I’m sure.

Haha I like the way the cartoonist decided the reactions of the characters should go. I kind of assumed it’d be the Dad character looking grumpy here for being called out on telling the same joke over and over but the dude’s chuffed as fuck. Kinda sweet.

Also saying “chuffed” definitely makes me thing of this tangentially related thing about chuffed Dads

Brennan Lee Mulligan when asked if he’s seen the prompts of the game before:

Do I get cake? If not, then clean up this fucking confetti and get the hell out of my home. In fact, do that even if I get cake. I sure ain’t cleaning it up.

Yeah, it’s called a tight 5

I’m just saying, I don’t know if I’ve seen the prompt before until I see it.

I’m nothing if not consistent!
