On Mother's Day we pay tribute to the women who brought us into this world and cared for us. On Father's Day we look at the male role models we had growing up and the important role they played and continue to — as our best friends, guardians and support systems.

But this Father's Day, which is celebrated globally on 18 June, we also pay tribute to that side of dads that we absolutely love to hate – their terrible sense of humour.

Celebrating their special brand of parental comedy, IBTimes UK lists some of the most cringe-worthy dad jokes to spend the day reading:

How do you make a Kleenex dance? Put a little boogie in it!
