Britain’s top 10 favourite dad jokes have been revealed following research by high-street stationer Ryman.

The country’s favourite dad joke, as concluded by the research, is:

Drum roll...

"I went to a seafood disco last week!

"I pulled a mussel."

The seafood joke managed to outrun sturdily competitive, foolish one-liners, and eye-rolling puns as the stationary supplier looked forward to Father's day.

These include comedic lines such as "I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon.

"I'll let you know".

And "What did the grape say when it got stepped on?

"Nothing, just a little wine".

The research by Ryman also surveyed the nation's favourite attributes in our dads.

Notably, it found that the favourite thing about our dads is their sense of humour, even if we do sometimes complain about their jokes.
