20 Father’s Day Posts That Will Knock Your New Balances Off
We're bringing you the ultimate list of dad jokes to celebrate Father's Day.
Every year, in the last days of spring, come the familiar sounds of lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and Weedwackers starting up (usually earlier and earlier in the day). This symphony is essentially the unofficial mating call of suburban dads across the country as they try to outdo one another, flaunting the latest and greatest outdoor equipment they will use to maintain their pristine lawns.
The fresh grass clippings that line the sidewalks and blow in the breeze are little reminders that Father’s Day is near. And what better way to honor the day than with some dad humor? Hold onto your cargo shorts and get ready to rock ‘n roll because we’ve rounded up some of the most hilarious Father’s Day tweets and memes to help us celebrate some very deserving fellas.
I hope I get a chore list cleverly disguised as a Home Depot gift card again this Father's Day.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Ah, yes. Father’s Day. The day dads get their annual reminder of all the things they haven’t crossed off that “honey do” list.
Breakfast in Bed(ish)
It isn’t Father’s Day until you’re awakened by the lovely sound of children wreaking havoc in your kitchen to create a culinary masterpiece that will be dropped on the floor at least three times before it reaches you. Hope you like pancakes crunchy with egg shells and garnished with carpet strands.
Father’s Day; NOUN ; an occasion to get to like 2nd and ½ base and then some kid comes in asking for an apple

An Apple a Day Keeps a Future Sibling at Bay
We know what Pops really want on their special day: The chance to explain to their kids that “Mommy and Daddy were just napping on top of each other.”

The Call is Coming From Inside the House
This may be the sweetest way of saying “run” we’ve ever seen!
My 7yo leaned in for a hug this morning. She sweetly said something, and naturally I was expecting “Happy Father’s Day” but instead she whispered, “can you make me toast?”
Then she farted…— No Idea: Daddy Blog (@byclintedwards) June 20, 2021
A Smell Only a Dad Can Love
To kids, Father’s Day is really just another day to engage in shenanigans.
It’s Father’s Day Eve so remember to leave out beer and beef jerky for Dad when he comes down the chimney.

We Mean, He IS Father Christmas
Except we all know where Dad’s really coming from—the bathroom.
You’ve Gotta be Jordan Me!
To be fair, the options for Father’s Day cards are limited to beer, barbequing, tools, fishing, and farting, so a store-bought one wouldn’t be much better.
[phone call]
Me: Happy Father’s Day, dad!
Dad: who is this

Guess Who?
This is kind of the reverse of your mom feeling the need to say, “This is your mom,” as if we couldn’t tell by her voice.

Having Children is Pure Raptor … We Mean Rapture
We have no words, but thankfully a picture says a thousand of them. We’re sure 999 of them are four-lettered. Because kids.
Still haven't gotten a Father's Day gift from my one-year-old. I'm going to give it one more week.

It’s Never Too Late
You give them the gift of life, and they have the audacity not to have a full-time job or the ability to buy you a present because they “have poor fine motor skills” and are “still pooping their pants” and that’s considered a “work hazard.” Get over yourselves.
Father’s Day coming up. Can’t wait to be served Norovirus in bed.

You Say Potato, We Say Influenza
PSA: Anything served to you by a child is basically a cute-looking petri dish of germs and viruses.
My kids woke me up on Father's Day with breakfast in bed.
Just kidding.
My 1-year-old hit me in the head with a maraca.

That’s What You Call “Perconcussion”
Sleeping in is nice, but blunt-force trauma to the head in the name of love is priceless. Unless you end up in the ER, then there’s definitely a price.
Being a father is the single greatest feeling on earth. Not including those wonderful years I spent without a child, of course.

Nostalgia
Oh, you mean the years we were actually cool, could do whatever we wanted, and didn’t need to keep liquid pain reliever on tap?
This Father's Day, be sure to thank your dad for secretly allowing you to do all that fun, dangerous stuff your mom wouldn't let you do.

When Mom’s Away …
No one can bring moms to the brink of a nervous breakdown quite like a father who decides to toss their child up a millimeter away from concussing themselves on the ceiling five minutes before bedtime.
My wife and kids are out buying me a father's day gift. What they don't realize is they already gave me the greatest gift of all: Silence.

The Sound of Silence
We can’t argue with this. We’re pretty sure children wrote the book on torture via unbearably loud and annoying sounds.
I became a father the day my daughter was born but I didn’t become a dad until the first time she rolled her eyes at me.

The Eye Roll Says … You ARE the Father
Those moments you think OK, no DNA test needed, they’re DEFINITELY mine, with that sigh and side-eye.
A dad’s most underrated skill is maintaining his smile after reading his Father’s Day card and then catching a glimpse of the price on the back.

Don’t Look
And the Oscar for best performance of the year goes to … dads everywhere.
Called my dad to wish him a Happy Father’s Day and we spent the whole time discussing back pain and ibuprofen. The circle is now complete.

My Neck, My Back, My Advil, and Ice Pack
Complaints about aches, pains, and exhaustion account for 70% of all conversations once you become a parent.
Every Father's Day at midnight the HomeDepot dads and the Lowe's dads rumble "Westside Story" style in a neutral Costcos parking lot.

There’s About to Be a Tool Fight
Just replace UFC fights with this, please.
Get your dad what he really wants this Father's Day by turning off the lights when you leave a room.
— Mike Primavera (@primawesome) June 18, 2015
I Would Do Anything for Love, but I Won’t Do That
He really doesn’t ask for much, does he? Just turn off the lights, don’t touch the thermostat, and for you to reply with, “What’s ‘updog’?” when he says, “Man, it smells like ‘updog’ in here!”
We hope your Father’s Day weekend is filled with terrible puns and awesome memories.
