Step 1: Choose a well-known phrase, idiom, or fact. The more universally recognized, the tastier the joke.

Step 2: Sniff out a pun or clever wordplay within the chosen phrase. The cream of the crop in dad jokes are those where the punchline is a surprise hiding in plain sight.

Phrase: Our chosen phrase is "It's raining cats and dogs." 

Pun: Our pun can be spun around "cats and dogs" or the concept of "raining." 

Setup: The setup could be - "Ever wondered why they say it's raining cats and dogs?" 

Punchline: The punchline then lands as - "Because every poodle counts!"
