Just in time for Father’s Day, appliance and electronics brand hhgregg, also known as Gregg Appliances, is out with #JokesFromDad, a social media campaign which encourages people to share their own Dad jokes. But only if they are bad.
The regional brand, with help from BLASTmedia, rounded up a bunch of kids — because, after all, kids appeal to everyone — dressed them like dads and had them tell really lame jokes for a video:
The video directs viewers to hhgregg.com/dad where, yes, you can shop for gifts for dad but also click on some kids — dressed like dads — to share tweets pre-populated with even more lame dad jokes. The tweet contains the first part of the joke and the image contains the punchline.

The company is promoting the effort on its Facebook and Twitter presences:
#MyDadWouldAlwaysSay that he has the best jokes. We tend to disagree unless they’re told by cute kids: http://t.co/1G2QwxwnNa #JokesFromDad — hhgregg (@hhgregg) June 11, 2015

Of the approach, hhgregg Digital Marketing Manager Andrew Vitale told MediaPost:
“Dad jokes are a part of family life, and it’s a unique twist on a Father’s Day promotion. We thought we’d create something unique for it.”
