10 Greatest Dad Jokes In Movie History
6. Big Fish - The Milkman Joke
Moving on to another Ewan McGregor film now with Tim Burton's adventure comedy movie Big Fish. Big Fish is a truly heart warming tale about a man named Edward Bloom who tells his wacky life story to his daughter in-law on his death bed.
This film perfectly embodies the fatherly traits of embellishing a story beyond reality and grossly exaggerating characters beyond all recognition. Despite some of the great tales told in this film, the greatest dad joke moment comes in a heart to heart talk between a dying Bloom and his daughter in-law when he tells her about a time in his life when his dreams foretold the death of his aunt and father.
Although this sounds incredibly dark, the ending to the joke has a surprising twist. In his dream, a crow said that his father would die the very next day. However, instead of his dad dying, the milkman dropped dead on their doorstep, revealing that his mother had been having an affair with the dirty dairy delivery dude.
The set up to this joke is absolute perfection and had us all fooled. Besides, who among us hasn't heard a dad joke with the dirty milkman being the punchline?
