AboutWhat does the meme depict?

Dad Joke Dog is a meme template that features an image macro series with three panels involving a dog and a baby. The first panel sets up a joke showing the dog looking at the baby. In the second panel, the joke's punchline is delivered with the dog slightly turning away. The final panel captures a reaction shot with both the dog and the baby looking directly at the camera. The humor in this template revolves around corny, stereotypical dad jokes, similar in nature to those used in the Pun Dog meme series.

OriginWho did it first?

The Dad Joke Dog meme was introduced on May 15, 2014, by a Reddit user under the handle Problydrunkrightnow. This user posted a vertical image macro on the subreddit r/AdviceAnimals, which showcased a dog delivering a joke about NASA to a baby. The original post was titled "Their expressions were too good to pass up." Although initially named "Discussion Dog," the meme was quickly renamed to "Dad Joke Dog" by another user, waylaidbyjackassery, in the comment section of the post.^[1]
