dads

Happy weekend! If you're looking for a way to tune out and laugh your worries away, we're here to help. This hefty assortment of memes has a little bit of everything and that means there's something for every kind of meme lover. Dog memes? Check. Depressing memes? Check. Incredibly dumb memes? We've got those too. 

How is it that so many dads end up developing the same corny, pun-based sense of humor? Maybe as life gets more complicated and tiresome by having kids and working all the time, parents eventually just enjoy the simpler things in life, like grilling and telling dumb jokes. Whatever the reason, we're certainly not complaining. Dad humor will always have a warm place in our hearts. And whether you're a dad yourself or just an appreciator of cheeseball humor, you'll be LOLing all the way through this ridiculous collection of dad memes.

We love little tidbits about family life because everyone's experiences are so different but also pretty relatable. We've got a bunch of fun tweets about the woes of parenting, weird texts from parents, and memes about silly dad quirks, like when they stand in the middle of the living room watching a movie and refuse to sit down because they haven't fully committed yet. What's up with that? If you enjoy these hilarious slices of family life, you should really check out @neatdad and @radmom on Instagram for more fam content. 

What would we do without dads and their terrible jokes? We may groan and roll our eyes at them, but deep down we all know that we appreciate a good old fashioned pun-laden joke from time to time. So here's to all the dads we love and appreciate!

If you're as online as we are, you've probably heard about the whole Bean Dad saga by now. You know, the guy who bragged on Twitter about watching his nine-year-old daughter struggle to open a can of beans for six hours. Anyway, the grown-up daughters and sons of Twitter have been texting their own dads asking, 'if I were nine and I asked you how to open a can of beans, what would you do?' It's been dubbed the 'Beanchdel Test' (like the Bechdel Test, get it?) and it's yielding some promising results. Most dads would simply show their kids how to use a can opener, which has given us hope for the future. We've singled out some amusing screenshots of the conversations between Twitter users and their dads. Makes us wonder what our own dads would do!

If you've been on Twitter at all over the past 24 hours, chances are you've heard about the sorry saga of John 'Bean Dad' Roderick and his epic Twitter downfall. If not, we'll catch you up to speed. On Jan 2, @johnroderick posted a marathon of a Twitter thread, boasting at length about refusing to show his hungry nine-year-old daughter how to use a can opener to open a can of beans. In the thread he recounts encouraging her to struggle with the device over a span of six hours in hopes to help her build character, or something. An outcry across Twitter immediately ensued and it didn't take long for people to dig up many racist, sexist, homophobic, and antisemitic tweets from @johnroderick's past. This kerfuffle went so viral, it might even affect the future of Jeopardy! (Don't ask.)

'Bean Dad' is, without a doubt, the unfortunate first main character of 2021. Hopefully this isn't foreshadowing a very cursed year. We've collected some of the funniest Twitter reactions to the whole 'Bean Dad' saga. (Content warning: some of the screenshots of @johnroderick's older tweets contain offensive language.)

The term "dad joke" may seem exclusive to male-identifying parents and caretakers, but let's be real: pretty much everyone can appreciate a groan-worthy pun when they're in the right mindset. These memes, tweets, and pics cater to the corny joke-lover in all of us. They may even provide ammo to the brave souls who have decided to procreate in what feels like the end times.

These memes are for all the awesome dads who love to make a good old-fashioned corny joke! They're also for people who just love stupid dank memes. Check out even more more parenting memes here!

Having kids can really change your life for the better. There's gotta be something incredibly satisfying about raising up a tiny human to (hopefully) one day be a good person and make a positive impact on society. That being said, it's totally understandable that sometimes you just need a damn break from your offspring!

It's hard to precisely discern the difference between a regular dumb joke and a dad joke. It's something that you just recognize when you see it. Does the joke involve cars, boats, or wives? Probably a dad joke. Did a middle aged man make a pun about his meal to the server? Definitely a dad joke. That said, you certainly don't have to have kids to enjoy a good (or bad) pun. Just channel your inner dad and vibe with these corny memes. 

We really gotta give it up for all the parents out there hustling in 2020. Some of us can barely get out of bed with out dying a little inside let alone keep little humans alive. If you've got some rascals running circles around you all day, chances are you're using some very rare and precious time to even look at these memes (which we're grateful for). If it's any consolation, you're not alone! Millions of other parents out there are figuring out how to reconcile their undying, unconditional love for their children with a deep, burning frustration bubbling right beneath the surface. We're pretty sure these relatable tweets and memes will resonate with a lot of tired moms and dads out there. 

Calling all future dads! Not planning to have kids ever? That's okay, you can still embody the spirit of a dad without ever having the offspring. These memes will get you started on your dad journey!
