Robert Irwin

At 20 years old, Robert Irwin just made the ultimate dad joke.

The son of Terri and the late Steve Irwin took to Instagram on Friday, April 5 with a short video—during which he uttered a single word. As the clip began, Robert stood by a dam, and the camera panned over to just the dam. It panned back to the young conservationist, who looked straight at the person recording and calmly said, "Dam."

In the comments, Robert's Instagram followers were tickled at his corny play on words. One person wrote, "Already cracking dad jokes," while another commented, "Okay dad."

Another Instagram user admitted, "I saw it coming from a mile away and still laughed. 🤦🏼‍♀️."

Someone else commented, "Love your sense of humour. Just like your Dad😊."

Meanwhile, other folks wondered if Robert was a fan of the Percy Jackson book series (given the multiple dam jokes sprinkled in the series).

One Instagram user wrote, "Ah yes, Percy Jackson joke and Robert Irwin, two things I never knew could go so well together."

Another person shared, "Don’t forget to get your dam hat and dam T-shirt at the dam. And have a dam good time."

It's unclear where, exactly, Robert filmed the dam video. However, he does co-host I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! with Julia Morris. The reality series films at Kruger National Park in South Africa.

In another recent Instagram video, seemingly taken at a nearby location, Robert made expert use of  Phil Collins' song, "In the Air Tonight." After walking over a rope bridge, he played a series of drums in a treehouse while lip-syncing and playing the beat of the track's dramatic drum riff.

Once again, fans appreciated Robert's sense of humor, with one person declaring, "This kid is a freaking NATIONAL TREASURE!"

Another Instagram user joked, "This is the only appropriate response to being in a tree house with drums"

Meanwhile, someone else wrote, "You are freaking hilarious Robert! 😂."
