Bad Father’s Day Gifts That Prove Not Even The Thought Counts
It's nice to recognize a father on his day for all his care, paying bills, cooking, fixing the car, mowing the lawn, etc... Fathers do a lot. These kids had their own way of showing their love and appreciation. Let's just say they got creative.
He Watched Deadpool With His Son ONCE
This dad took his kid to see Deadpool on opening night. Little did he know, this would create the theme for his gifts for his birthday, Father's Day, and Christmas.
The thing is, they've gone to watch other Marvel and DC movies too, but this is the one that stuck. At least he's consistent.
And The Award For "World's Most Okayest Dad" Goes To...
This family does not like to embellish or beat around the bush. This award basically says, "We know you're trying your best, Dad....and you're doing okay...but keep trying." We wonder if he got an upgrade the next year.
Someone Got "The Talk" A Little Young
This mug was an early Father's Day gift from a 6-month-old daughter. She's not likely to have been the one to go buy a coffee mug...or understand how she came to be. Do we think she was planned?
It's A Surprise For Everybody
This kid's mom ordered the gift for them. She set the Amazon package on the table and all she asked for was for the kid to wrap it... Honestly, this perfectly drawn bow looks like it took more effort.
There's Enough Chocolate For The Whole Family
This gift gets a lot of points for being creative! But, really, the best part is the amount of chocolate. It's the gift that keeps on giving to the whole family.
It's "Me," I am The Gift
This girl couldn't think of a good Father's Day gift, so she just got a picture of her face and made it into a canvas. It's the kind of gift you have to pretend to love.
Best Dad (Jokes) Ever
The original Father's Day gift did not include the sticky note. It was (ironically) a dad joke, about dad jokes, like a jokeception! The daughter was not impressed.
Not Sure If The Love Was Reciprocated In That Moment
Can you imagine your little princess saying, "Daddy, I made something for you!" and you go outside, she's all excited, and you see...this? Perhaps after you take a moment to cry, you can drive it around so the whole town knows you're loved!
If Only This Card Set Came In An Unlimited Amount
These cards are every parent's dream. From being able to ask your kid to "shut up" to sending them over to Mom whenever you don't want to deal with it, you'll be wishing you had enough to use every day...forever.
That's Some Good Marketing
There is definitely some logic behind this... However, the marketing needs to be reworked a little bit as these dads aren't quite "dads" yet. It just increases the odds of them getting there.
Have You Ever Felt As Handsome As This Drawing?
This is how a 5-year-old envisions her father, basically like a tiny angry taco.
Don't bother trying to see the world through the eyes of your child...it might be a little scarier than you think.
Well, Not Much Has Changed
What's so loveable about this picture is you can see the personalities of the kids haven't changed much over the years. They also did such a good job recreating the exact same color theme! Bet this got Dad emotional.
It's Called Abstract Art
What does this look like to you? Don't actually answer that, we'll just tell you what it is. A little girl drew a "treehouse" as a Father's Day gift. It was actually very sweet.
Acts Of Service Is A Love Language
Sometimes, when you're really broke, you have to improvise for a Father's Day gift...but frankly, offering to do their chores sounds like a great tradeoff. Although, if you show them you can do it, they must start expecting it.
This Is What Happens When The Cats Are In Charge
The cats are basically like children too: they need to be fed, watered, and given minimal attention. That deserves to be recognized too, right?
But can you imagine what life is like from the perspective of the cats?
It's Called Fashion, Look It Up
A Father's Day gift from a 6-year-old last year. It is quite well done for a 6-year-old.
The best part is he still uses the wallet and takes it very seriously.
"I Love You 3000"
Who doesn't love Iron Man? Especially after his tragic end in Avengers: Endgame. Apparently this dad, since he doesn't look very impressed, now does he?
For all, we know he could be smiling behind the mask.
Let's Be Real Here
As this father says, "My wife is realist." By the the looks of the picture, "adequate" is definitely the highest level merited.
A little fun doesn't hurt anyone though, and the kid does look like he's enjoying whatever's happening.
Wear It Proudly
Managing teenagers is no easy task, between mood swings, sass, rebellion, self-discovery, questioning everything, and taking it all out on you...you get the point.
You definitely earn "survivor" status by the end of it.
You Can't Spell "Father" Without "Fat"
"Happy Fat Day!" Did you ever even notice that the word "fat" was part of the word "father" till now? Is that why "dad bod" and "beer bellies" are popular terms? This kid is way ahead of the rest of us.
Homemade Gifts Are More Sentimental
This homemade Father's Day gift is...well...this is where "it's the thought that counts" comes in handy.
I hope they made their dad proud! If not for anything else, then at least for their sense of humor.
But Is The Shirt Wrong, Though?
It is no surprise that this shirt was not gifted by the "dumbass kids," but rather ordered by the mother. So it seems that there's a consensus between the parents, and it's not clear if the kids agree.
Every Father's Footwear Of Choice
Repeat after me: "socks and sandals do not go well together." It has never been a good look, and it never will be. But if you insist, with these socks you can still wear your socks and sandals...UNDER other better shoes.
Model That Car
"I wanted to celebrate and announce my awesome Father's Day gift from my wife. No better way than a sexy photoshoot," said this user. What he didn't say is what the gift was. Was it the car? Because that's a generous gift. We bet it's the cowboy boots.
The Real Game Of Thrones
Every man has their throne, and this one can proudly be owned by this lucky father. A trip to the toilet just got a lot more exciting.
The only thing that now needs to go is that floral box. It kind of contradicts the theme.
When In Doubt, Order A Potato
"Ordered a potato for my dad as a gag gift for Father's Day. I asked for them to draw something creative on the back. Did not expect this," says this Reddit user.
It gets better: the back also said "Rough times...Happy Father's Day."
Dad Will Definitely Love Some Ultra Thin Pads
Nothing says spoiling dad like some period pads! They're ultra thin and last all night! And only $4.50!
OK, but who needs to get fired here?
Dog Fathers Count Too
This couple doesn't have children, so the wife put the dog and husband's faces on matching T-shirts.
The husband loves it. The dog, on the other hand, seems a little weirded out by the whole thing.
Straight To The Point
This little girl doesn't play games. She tells it like it is. What's your dad's job? "Work." When does he laugh? "When I tell jokes."
She will be taking no further questions at this time.
Who Is This Gift Really For?
Imagine spending Father's Day by having your gift get taken for a spin, while you wear it. These girls are young but smart. It looks like a shirt that dad will love, but little does he know, it's their new favorite game.
