“The perfect gift for every new dad, New Dad, Same Bad Jokes will take the edge off the new routine of no sleep and lots of crying (for everyone). The master of the dad joke, Slade brings his prowess to new dads everywhere even though it may take them longer to read a joke a day while buried under a pile of diapers, bottles, and wipes during those first few weeks after the baby comes home. Slade had me laughing at the introduction of the ‘trauma of bath turds’ and kept me laughing until the joke on Day 365. New dads would be remiss without their own copy of New Dad, Same Bad Jokes. Make sure that the new dad in your life has this collection of essential ‘full-groan’ dad jokes.”
—Jackie Schoemaker Holmes, PhD, sociologist, empowerment specialist, and author of Eating Her Young: Poems for the Disruption of Motherhood
 
“Slade Wentworth kicks fatherhood up a notch for new dads by giving them the one coping mechanism we have to keep us from going insane on an hourly basis: the dad joke. Also packed with helpful hacks, the only thing this book needs to help any new father through those early years is a chapter on cocktail recipes. Oh, that’s good. Maybe we’ll do a collaboration.”
—Rodney Lacroix, husband, father, and bestselling author of Romantic as Hell: Tales of Woe, Tips of Woo
 
“A man can learn how to be a good dad. Unfortunately, a man can’t be taught how to be funny. Thankfully, New Dad, Same Bad Jokes is the perfect training manual for unfunny fathers. Slade Wentworth has assembled a collection of one-liners, knee-slappers, put-ons, and puns guaranteed to delight every new dad. His jokes will even bring a chuckle on those exhausting days spent listening to his wife explain the difficulties of caring for a newborn alone (because dad is too busy hiding in the bathroom). Not only is New Dad, Same Bad Jokes chock-full of father-approved zingers and eye-rollers, but the helpful dad hacks and writing prompts sprinkled throughout will keep dad entertained long after the novelty of having a baby wears off.”
—Chris Illuminati, author of The New Dad Dictionary: Everything He Really Needs to Know—from A to Z
 
“Slade is not only a brilliant writer but also a shining example of what it takes to find a healthy balance in life’s greatest adventure: parenthood. Parenting is a serious undertaking, but if you mix it up with a little bit of humor and lighthearted advice as Slade has done in New Dad, Same Bad Jokes, you’ll come up winning. Everything Slade writes puts a smile on my face. I’m sure it will do the same for you.”
