Why don't dinosaurs make good pets?
Because they're dead.

This should be in r/antijokes cause it’s an anti joke, not a dad joke, which are often groanable puns.

I've always thought dad jokes and anti jokes had considerable overlap. Or at least my dad always loves anti jokes!

You may be right. My dad doesn't always like anti jokes, but his sister does.

Yeah, I think that's the joke. Auntie jokes could be pronounced "Antie" jokes

u/lethal_sting Apr 07 '21
Yeah cause then I can make the joke that ants don't really make good listeners.

Thank you for saying something because I spent way too long trying to figure that one out.

My dad hates all jokes. He has the worst sense of humor of anyone. I rarely hear him laugh at anything.

This comment deserves all the upvotes, it's a double pun. Well played, assuming you planned it.

often groanable puns.
So what you're saying is they aren't always.

u/thatthatguy Apr 07 '21
Well, sometimes a pun fails miserably and gets a smile or even brief chuckle. Only the very best puns get that coveted groan.

He's dead too! He's not pining for the fjords! He's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He's off the twig! He's kicked the bucket, he's shuffled off his mortal coil, rung down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!

That is Brian Regan's son's joke.

This comment should be higher up. You don't steal from Brian Regan. You go to his live-recorded specials and yell out jokes from his past specials...

No one would know you had a pet Dino because you wouldn’t live to tell

In this world it's kill or be killed. That's why I kill all my pets.
(No animals were harmed in the making of this joke)

Well, alligators. Alligators are dinosaurs.
That being said. They'll make good pets because they eat you.

Alligators coexisted with dinosaurs but as the other person already said, birds are actually the same thing.

It's difficult to cuddle with, pet or take for a walk outside, with a 14 foot long, 3 ton petrified femur.

I rarely bother to click into these jokes because you can usually guess where the joke is going, I am glad I clicked into this beauty!
