The older we get, the more 'dad jokes' morph in our perception from shit and embarrassing to absolute works of art.
It takes a fully matured comedic palate to properly enjoy and understand a good dad joke on the level it's supposed to be appreciated (which is basically 'the simpler, shitter and the more it makes my kids cringe, the better') and if the internet's reaction to this particular howler is anything to go by, we'd say we're well on our way to adulthood.
For any self-respecting father, the ultimate tool to take your dad jokes to the next level is by posting them to your child's social media account to achieve maximum embarrassment reach. This is something that Raylin Pellatt's dad, a seemingly seasoned dad joke connoisseur, is well familiar with.

To celebrate the momentous occasion of his daughter's 21st birthday, Joe Pellatt took to Facebook to post a tribute to Raylin.
Along with a photo of his grinning daughter and a decidedly lumpy-looking sea lion, Joe posted the caption, "Happy 21st birthday to my beautiful daughter (left ) Raylin!".
Raylin shared the post on Twitter and it went viral almost immediately, proving that there is definitely a market out there for quality dad jokes.

"Thanks for the clarification, dad," she said in the tweet.
The people of Twitter were all over it and immediately took to their keypads to declare their love for Joe, award him 10/10 for best dad joke and one person even claimed that their lungs collapsed, which while we appreciate the sentiment, is probably a tad melodramatic.

Keep up the good work, Joe. Dad jokes for the win!
