“Uncle's jokes !?”


I recently heard about something that would be roughly translated as “uncle's
jokes” (the Japanese word for it should be something like 伯父ネタ or 伯父ガル but I
can't remember correctly what I heard the only part where I am sure is that it
started with 叔父/伯父).

Basically, it is just a play on words (by playing on the phonetic similarities
of different words). Right now, I am only able to remember one.

> 猫寝込んだ。（ねこねこんだ）

My question is how is it called and would you know some more?




It is called おやじギャグ and is also called ダジャレ.
