I’m an Indonesian dad in my 50s—married, talkative, fascinated by languages, and a lifelong fan of garing jokes.
You know the kind: jokes that make you laugh, groan, roll your eyes, or simply say:
“Pak… seriously?”
But after working with languages and localization for years, I started noticing something interesting:
A joke that works perfectly in English can completely die in Indonesian.
And sometimes the opposite happens too.
That’s where ID Dad Jokes begins.
