Dad Joke Explanation - 12/29/2025
Ok, That one was easy right? Tomorrow's joke willl be more challenging
Here it is:
What's the best gift ever?
Broken drums! You can't beat them.
Explanation
The joke plays on the phrase “you can’t beat them.”
- Literal meaning: A broken drum can’t be played because it's broken — you literally can’t beat (hit) it.
- Figurative meaning: The phrase “you can’t beat them” also means something is unbeatable or the best.
So the punchline works because it uses both meanings at the same time, creating a pun.
That’s why “broken drums” are “the best gift ever” —because you can’t beat them… literally and figuratively.
