If there are two things we can count on This Is Us for, it's making us feel all the feelings—and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) making a dad joke. The beloved character is the king of dad jokes, fully embracing puns and corniness like no other. It's a trait fans love the most about him, and they've said as much on Twitter throughout the seasons. Frankly, a This Is Us episode just isn't complete without a signature Randall dad joke; we're going to miss them now that the show is over. (This Is Us wrapped its sixth and final season in late May 2022.)

4. Oh, you didn’t know? That’s a new species. It’s a Hibiscus droopus. It’s very rare.

5. Therapist: So, what brings you here today?; Randall: It's kind of a long story. Ya got an hour?
