Thanksgiving dad jokes come from the meal itself: the turkey, the gravy, the cranberry sauce, the pie and the pilgrims in the story. The table seats people from every generation, so the jokes keep to wordplay with no edge.

The best moment to tell one is while the dishes are going around, when everyone's hands are busy and there is a natural wait. Read the question, pass the potatoes, and give the answer when they come back around. It turns the pause into a bit and gets the whole table in on the groan.

If you are hosting, tape one joke inside the lid of the pie box or on the fridge door, where people line up for drinks. If you are a guest, keep two on your phone and read them at the dessert table. The food lines fit the host's table, the pilgrim lines fit the kids, and the turkey lines fit anyone.
