Dads have a unique approach to life on Planet Earth. They’ll fully support you while also gently teasing you. They’ll embarrass you while teaching you the most important values to have in life. And their jokes and pranks are some of the best that the internet has to offer. We feel like dads deserve a lot more love and attention than they get. And this article is our way to show our respect to fathers all over the globe.

We’ve collected the most hilarious posts that radiate pure dad energy from the legendary r/madlads subreddit, as well as elsewhere from the net. Check out the best of the best below, Pandas, and upvote your fave pics as you scroll down. Though keep in mind that the cosmic dad radiation is so intense, you might feel inspired to spout dad jokes all week long. You’ve been warned!

Meanwhile, read on for Bored Panda’s interview about how busy dads can find time for their family and kids with relationship and dating expert Dan Bacon, the founder of The Modern Man.

This is also a gentle reminder to call your parents and tell them you love them.

    I (as a pro vaxer) don't like when things are getting exaggerated like this. You DON'T simply die without vaccinations, there is CHANCE you die. The "vaccination is the only means of survival" statement I often see everywhere is just opportunity for antivaxers to say "I'm not vaccinated and I survived, so you're wrong".
