Dads Who Made Us Feel Better About 2020
Let's face it, it's been a pretty rough year. There was a stressful election and a global pandemic and a whole lot of nastiness online. We're not even sure what month it is anymore. It hasn't been a good time. Luckily, there were a few things that helped us get through it all. Thank goodness for Tik Tok memes, whipped coffees, and the dads on this list, apparently.
Keep reading to see some dads who either purposely or accidentally brought the funny this year.
A Panoramic Shot
This daughter asked her dad to take a panoramic photo of her standing in front of a lush landscape. Well, he tried his best. Sometimes, your best just isn't good enough, though.
Not What The Kids Had In Mind
These kids kept asking their dad for a Nintendo Switch, so he finally caved and got them one. Although, this probably isn't the kind of Nintendo Switch that they had in mind.
It's Pickle Rick
Reddit user Purple_Drink posted this photo online along with the caption, "After my family refused to help me convince my dad to wear a pickle costume for Halloween, I bought one and sent it to him anyway. Reddit, meet my dad, Rick."
Keeping The Cat Out
This dad built a custom cage for his family's Christmas tree so that his cat wouldn't be able to get to it and knock it down. It's a little less festive this way, but at least it's fully intact.
His First 360 Photo
This dad finally figured out how to work his 360-degree camera. His son is pretty proud of him. He's so proud, in fact, that he decided to share this photo with the whole internet.
It Finally Happened
We love a sarcastic dad. This dad took his sarcasm to the next level by actually making a plaque and marking the date and time when his son picked up garbage off of the floor.
He Had To Show Them That It Works
This dad is attempting to sell this small compact mirror on eBay. This was the product photo that he chose to put on the site. He said that he had to show people that it works.
There's A Spot For You
It looks like this single dad is taking it all in stride. It's hard raising four kids and a cat on your own. This dad is looking for a partner to help him do all that.
When Dad Is In Charge Of The Sign
This is what happens when a dad is in charge of a community letter board. You get dad jokes all day, every day. There's nothing wrong with a little bit of humor.
It Could Happen To Anyone
This dad accidentally spilled some salsa on his baby's head while he was trying to hold her and eat a burrito at the same time. Dads are not very good at multitasking.
A Very Small Keyboard
Here's another example of why checking the product dimensions is a super important thing to do before you place an order online. This dad found that out the hard way.
Always Check The Dimensions
It looks like this dad ordered a pair of outdoor lamps on Amazon without checking how big they would actually be. Well, they're here, and they're big...like, really, really big.
An Eggplant Friend
This dad found a weirdly shaped eggplant at the grocery store, so naturally, he had to buy it and put little eyes and a smile on it. Dads make everything better.
Make Do With What You Have
This dad ordered a screen cover for his phone, but he's not going to take any chances while that package takes its sweet time to get to him. He crafted a temporary solution out of plastic wrap.
He Loves A Gravy Boat
This dad might be a little bit too obsessed with his new pig-shaped gravy boat. Sometimes it's the little things in life that can make us the happiest. This is adorable.
A Picture Of A Picture Of A Picture
This dad sent his daughter a photo from their Christmas photoshoot, only, he didn't really send a picture. He sent a screenshot of a picture of a picture. He somehow managed to get his phone's volume icon in it, too.
That's A Big Dog
This is just a regular heartwarming photo of a really big do lying on this dad's lap. This dog doesn't know that he's too big to be a lap dog, and frankly, it's adorable.
When Kids Strike Back
We've seen dads do a lot of pranking on this list already, so it's only fair that sometimes the kids are the ones to prank dad (and nearly give him a heart attack). This dad set up a camera in front of his thermostat so he could monitor it from work. His son just shifted the angle of the camera a little bit.
That's Not Google
This dad wasn't sure why he wasn't able to search for his favorite pizza joint on his phone. He passed his phone to his son to see if he could help him fix the problem.
Dad's Sandwich
Because kids hate crusts and dads don't like to see anything go to waste, they always end up with the father's signature sandwich. That reminds me, I need to pick up some more bread...
Safety First
This dad photoshopped his kid into a bunch of shots so that he would have pictures on hand whenever his wife texted to check in on him and the baby.
The Scariest Face Mask
This dad bought his wife, who works as a nurse, a new, custom, protective face mask. Of course, it looks like the bottom half of his face, and yes, it is very scary.
Which Way Is Up?
This dad had to literally label his phone so that he would know which way to hold it. He may need a few more technology lessons, but the labels are working for now.
It Was On Sale
All this dad has to say for himself is that it was on sale. It could have been free, but that doesn't mean that you should get a beekeeping suit.
A Minimal Christmas Tree
This dad decided to prank his family by buying them a minimalist Christmas tree for 2020. While this is awful, everyone has just come to expect awful things this year.
What A View
This dad seems to be getting along with this gorilla at the zoo rather swimmingly. This is such a perfect shot. Remember when we could go to zoos without masks on?
The Perfect Dad Joke
This dad named his boat, "A Frayed Knot," which is perhaps the most dad sentence we've seen so far on this list. Of course this corny dad has a boat.
Preparing For The Grandkids
This grandfather is preparing to have his grandkids stay with him for the weekend. An endeavor like that takes some serious forethought. He did a great job covering those couches.
A Baby Burrito
This guy may not be a dad yet, but with these jokes, we know he's going to be the best dad whenever that does eventually happen for him. For now, he's just enjoying his burrito.
He Needs Some Help
This son spotted an iPhone X for Dummies book at his dad's house. Does his dad not have access to the internet? I can't even imagine reading this super long manual.
A Boy's First Tattoo
A young man broke his wrist and felt really down since he was already stuck at home. So his dad decorated his cast and the kid was super excited to finally have his first "tattoo."

A Private V.I.P. Graduation Ceremony

Dads Will Always Mend Broken Hearts
A young woman got broken up with, told her dad, and then came home to this heart-shaped cookie reminding her that even when boys break her heart, he'll always be there to put the pieces back together.
Speaking Her Language
Once they get a certain age, it's harder for dads to bond with their little girls. This dad was having a hard time getting his daughter to smile, so he agreed to let her give me a makeover. Judging by their smiles, it was a success.
Just A Dad Expressing His Pride
This dad just couldn't contain his pride and joy over a picture sent to him by his daughter. Some might say this is "extra," but we think it's just the right amount of a wholesome dad.

You Can Always Count On Dads For Dad Jokes
"My dad never asks for his picture to be taken. Then today he asks for his picture, and does the most extra dad thing ever."
Dad jokes are always cringey and cheesy, yet for some reason remain just as funny.
