Pro tip: Don't tell a dad joke at the same time as your buddy

Last Saturday at the Miller's block party, me and my neighbor both said 'I'm on a seafood diet' at the exact same moment. Landed with zero laughs cause everyone was confused. Next time I'm waiting for a solid two count before I drop mine.

My brother and I did that with the "hungry" dad joke opener once at Thanksgiving. We both started with "I'm so hungry I could eat a..." and then he said horse and I said cow. Just got blank stares from the whole table. Had to wait like five minutes before anybody thought it was funny.

Oh man @the_brian, that's such a brutal wait for a punchline to land lol. I've definitely been there where you think something is hilarious and everyone just stares at you like you grew a second head. Five minutes is actually pretty impressive though, most of my family would have moved on to talking about the weather or something by then. It's rough when you and your sibling have this whole comedic rhythm going and nobody else is on the same wavelength. At least you guys had each other to laugh about it later, right?

Five minutes is actually pretty impressive" - my record's about thirty seconds before my wife gives me the look.
