Hilarious And Wholesome Dads Who Keep Raising The Bar
Dads really are superheroes. They can tackle diaper duty, summertime BBQing, and mowing the lawn in a single bound, yet they still find the time to help us with our homework, tuck us into bed, and catch the big game.
So in honor of that, it’s time to celebrate the funny, wholesome, and inspiring dads who are always in our corner—beer in one hand, and dad jokes in the other.
Love That Will Last Generations
In honor of his father who recently passed away, this Redditor shared a photo of his dad holding his infant grandson, meeting him for the first time. He writes of his father, “He was an amazing man and will be so dearly missed.”
It’s an example of how love can transcend all.
“Alright, Thank You For That”
The surprising thing about the internet is whether you’re watching a video or reading a story, you never know quite how it’s going to end.
This father shared a tender moment with his young daughter as they both said how much they love each other. But apparently not as much as mom.
Taste The Rainbow
Dads are notorious for sneaking us junk food when our mothers aren’t looking, and for letting us run wild in grocery store junk food aisles. Growing up, if I couldn’t find my dad while grocery shopping, 99.9% of the time, he was to be found in the potato chip aisle.
This dad let his daughter “taste the rainbow” and the empty bag of Skittles is proof she’s in a sugar coma. But in traditional dad fashion, he pokes fun at his little girl.
Like Father, Like Daughter
Here's your daily dose of nostalgia.
This father hung on to this Winnie-the-Pooh toy he received as a child back in 1992, knowing he wanted to keep it for his future baby. His baby girl is five months old, and she's loving the toy just like her father used to.
7,000 Miles
It’s been 11 long years since this man had seen his father, so he decided to do something about it.
He flew 7,000 miles to be reunited with his dad and surprised him with an unexpected visit for his 50th birthday. The look on his father’s face shows that every mile traveled was worth it.
When You Try Your Hardest
The great thing about dads is that not only are they full of humor, but they’re also full of life lessons.
This dad watched his son score two goals during a championship sporting match, but in the end, his son’s team lost against a tough opponent. He consoled his son and reminded him that “you can learn more about yourself from losing, than from winning.”
We’re Going On A Feels Trip
These two dads were absolutely overwhelmed with joy as they got to meet their new baby for the very first time.
Now excuse me while I resume being a sobbing mess.
It’s The Circle Of Life
You’re not doing parenting right until you hold your baby in the air and present them like they’re Simba from "The Lion King."
But this dad is so dedicated that he says every new baby in the family gets the royal treatment.
Dance The Night Away
So this dad works three different jobs, and he told his eighth-grade daughter that he couldn’t afford the dream dress she wanted for the big school dance.
But when he surprises her with the dress anyway, she pushes the dress aside so she can embrace her father. It’s a reaction of sheer love and appreciation that speaks louder than words.
You Can’t Resist The Fluffy
You know how as a kid you begged your parents to let you get a pet, but often they said no?
Well, after some convincing, this Redditor persuaded their dad to finally get a cat and now her father and Moe the feline are “purrfect” best friends.
Study Session
Looks like this new dad is reliving his college days.
Nine months of prep time apparently wasn’t long enough for this dad who looks like he’s a little behind on his parenting reading material.
The Hottest Mixtape
This father and son duo couldn’t help but pose for the camera and beam with pride after they finished building their brand new firepit. It looks like they’re about to drop the hottest album of 2021.
Someone commented on this dad’s next-level beard, and his son didn’t miss a beat when he replied back with, “It’s his pride and joy, ya know next to me.” Mic drop.
Monkey See, Monkey Do
This girl bets her dad $100 that he can’t copy her exact mannerisms, but, she forgets that no one knows us better than our parents.
“I am smarter than you!” he says. He sure is, now where’s his $100?
Dad Jokes For Days
One of the cornerstones of being a father is being constantly loaded up with dad jokes, ready to unleash them on your unsuspecting spouse and children at a moment’s notice. If you see them roll their eyes into the backs of their heads then you know you’re doing a good job.
This Redditor just couldn’t help but share their father’s Reddit-based dad joke, and you just know he’s so proud of himself.
Welcome To Fatherhood
This new dad couldn’t help but share his elation with the world after the birth of his first baby.
That right there is the look of true love (coincidentally, it’s also the same way I look at food).
Cheers To You, Dads
Whether it’s Father’s Day or just a regular Tuesday, dads are something that always deserve to be celebrated. Remember to tell your dad just how much he means to you.
Here’s to you, dads! (And don’t worry, we secretly love your dad jokes.)
