There's something special about the fathers who go above and beyond to be the best dads they can be. We call them "rad dads." These special guys don't just take care of their kids, they go out of their way to make sure their children know they're loved and supported, whether it's taking the time to play with them, teach them new skills, or just be there to listen.

This insanely popular Instagram page which is known by exactly the same name “Rad Dad” is dedicated to celebrating the hilarious aspects of fatherhood, whether in the form of memes, jokes, one-liners and cringe posts.

The result is pure entertainment that celebrates and pokes fun at the stereotypical middle-class dads rocking their New Balances while mowing the lawn on a Saturday afternoon with a popped cold can of beer.

Psst! More rad dad jokes can be found in our previous features here and here.

Don't forget jumping off progressively taller things and getting a little concussed!

I love the idea someone just plans ahead like this to mess with a stranger. Now throw some meat in there so when they open it it stinks like crazy as well to add to the realism.

I have grown to love the whistling rat (guinea pig) my daughter wanted then subsequently lost interest in and has now become my responsibility

Mom got full dachshund (not a mini). Dad griped about her getting a dog. They had Puck for 17 years. Dad would sit on the edge of the computer chair so Puck could lay behind him. Got a chair and a half recliner so they'd both fit. For the last two years, Puck was to weak to go on their twice daily walks anymore, so Dad pulled him in a wagon so Puck could visit his friends. If it was raining, he drove him around instead. He was dad's dog the minute they saw each other.

Such a short time between "that animal needs to keep off the furniture" and "no I can't move, I'll wake her"

My father called our shih tzu "S**t face", and he would obey this nickname too.

My partner had to give his beloved dog to his father when he moved. His dad *worshipped* that dog, spoiled him rotten, and was absolutely bereft when the dog finally died. Fabulous result for Ben, who was waited on hand and foot. Not so good for dad, who never really recovered, sadly.

I definitely didn't want a cat. I got my kids a cat. He is my 3rd child.

My little Chiweenie(chihuahua and dachsund). Her name was Tiny and I knew the second I saw her that my wife would love her. She did, we took her home, and I was her puppy for the several years we had her.

One time my mom told my dad "it's me or the dog in bed with you." My dad picked the dog.

I got my love and respect for animals from my father. My mother on the other hand... nasty piece she was.

This is so true. I've seen it happen with my father and my sister's cat/bunny/dog/and some other critters, and now with myself with our cat. This while I used to be a dog person :S

In my case it was my mom and the dog she didn't want. Even if i walked Bruiser (fluffy white American Eskimo) she would walk him again, that boy was her favourite child. Still miss the good boy, we had to put him down almost 9 years ago at 16.

If it was a birthday party or something I might think it’s funny but I feel bad that it’s a wedding. They asked politely. I’d want to respect that. I’d make sure my kid played inside at 2, that’s about as noisy as we get. I like my neighbors, we take each other’s trash cans in so we’re like almost friends!!!

LOL! Once on a cold November night, I was standing outside chatting with some clients. My boss thought putting on a coat would be unflattering, so he stood with us, clearly freezing in his dress suit. One of the clients (elderly straight dude who's been married for almost 50 years) says: "Oi, if you come out of the closet, I'll hug you to keep you warm!". Sorry, boss, but that was HILARIOUS!

My husband kept doing this to me, and letting all the cold air in the shower. So I started sneaking quietly into the bathroom when he's showering, waiting until he's washing his face, then pressing my face and hands against the glass until he turns around and screams like a girl. In case you're interested, he doesn't bother me in the shower anymore.

Just wait until he learns about the “That’s what she said” joke.

My favorite one of these is when the car comes driving up. Like surprise: "It's actually not a car for you, this is my new boyfriend"

A man is a man. If he says he'll fix something, he'll fix it. There's no need to remind him every six months.

I don’t know why this is but it’s so true. My husband is crazy tough. Had surgery and I’m begging him to sit and rest rather than pull weeds because he’ll end up tearing his stitches/staples. Can lift a dresser by himself because my weak self can’t manage half the weight. He’s crazy amazing strong and tough. But if his throat is scratchy…

There's a much higher chance of being killed by the knife in his hands, especially if you're in the UK.
