Dad Humor – 8 Dish Towel Verses That Are Crazy Funny

Today’s weird topic is “Dad Humor on Dish Towels With Funny Sayings.” We just completed a colossally long trip visiting friends and family. Our drive spanned from Michigan’s Thumb up through the Upper Peninsula, Minnesota, and Colorado, ending in Florida. It was great to get out and see a bit of the country again. While the pandemic posture kept us from fully venturing into the public, we took a peek at some local gift shops. Where else can you find a dishrag that costs $15 with a bit of quippy humor?

What is Dad Humor?

A typical dad joke is a one-liner or a question-and-answer. These minor quips are typically regarded as inoffensive. Dad jokes are stereotypically told with sincere humor or purposely elicit an unpleasant reaction to an overly punch-line. Some dad jokes may be considered anti-jokes, derived from a purposefully unfunny or weird ending. Throughout our travel, we found some flour sack dish towels with downright hilarious sayings.

Of course, dad humor is, in reality, not definable. Here are some dish towels with funny sayings we found along the way. You decide.

Dish Towels With Funny Sayings – Being an Adult

Being An Adult

One other basic test of an excellent little joke is to point out the absurdity in the everyday. For example, I never thought about my tendency to use the same back burner on the stove, but here it is. These humorous dish towels made me stop and smile.

Boy, this one is true. Don’t you catch yourself trying to buy healthy food at the grocery store when you’re starving?

Making healthy choices with so many options for sweet and savory foods takes some willpower. This little quip kind of nailed it. I would have changed it up a bit. “I hate it when I mean to buy seedless grapes, but instead, I accidentally get…well, you know…wine.

What Portion Size is This?

This is little quip brings to mind the guilty feeling every time I finish a little bag of potato chips stores are selling these days. The chipmaker indicates that this now-empty bag should be serving four people. I solved the problem by switching brands.

Don’t Trick Me with Your Health Obsession

Trail Mix

I’ll admit I’m a big fan of assorted nuts. However, when you hand me a bag of trail mix, the first handful must contain some sweet morsel with the almonds. The M&Ms are usually gone way before the little serving is empty. This ranks high on the dad humor scale of all the dish rag jokes.

Vegan Humor

Missed Steak

This one falls front and center into the dad joke territory of all the dish rag quips I found. We have been eating more vegan-ish over the summer. First, however, we will head over to Walt’s Meats and grab a porterhouse for the grill once in a while. After that, I’m not going to miss an opportunity to enjoy a bit of summer grilling. Then, to even it out, I’ll grill some veggies and onions.

It’s Doctor’s Orders

Headache

Honestly, I never thought to take instructions from the Asprin bottle in this way. But, of course, now that the kids are grown and on their own, we seldom have young ones in the house. However, I remember taking off to the workshop or garage, if only for a moment of peace and quiet.

Buying Big When the Tummy Rumbles

Buying Big

This final dad humor dishrag is another take on shopping while hungry. Back in the day, we would get a box of animal crackers for the kids to munch on to behave and be slightly quieter. Now that I’m older, I may start doing that tactic again to quiet my cravings around all that food.
