KOOEE! Best Dad Joke Competition 2020

Thank you everyone who entered the KOOEE Dad Joke Competition. Our resident “Dad Joke Expert” Tony Fist was thrilled to judge everyone’s submissions. We had over 60 entries for 8 prizes. The prizes were awarded at Tony’s discretion, although he did have a system of rating each joke on “funny rating” and “dad rating” (double weighted).

You can see all the jokes in their entirety on our FB or Instagram pages, but here are the results for the top 20. Tony weighted the “Dad score” by a factor of two, to ensure he was capturing the Dad-ness of the jokes adequately.
