50 Hilariously Spot-On Memes About Stereotypical Middle-Class Dads Shared On This Account (New Pics)
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.

Omg yes! We would get hot chocolate and donuts too. Best Xmas memories ngl
Don't forget jumping off progressively taller things and getting a little concussed!
I jumped off the cubbyhouse roof once to see if the parachute I had made by putting my arms through the handles of a plastic bag would work. (Outcome: It did not work).

One time a friend yeeted herself out of a swing in well, full swing and bit off part of her tongue (they sewed it back on) and half the kids watching puked because of the amount of blood pouring out of her mouth and we stood there in a blood and vomit lollapalooza, great times.
My cousin did this just by showing me her special frog jump. Then she suddenly stopped and ran to the kitchen where she started screamingand the blood sprayed all over the kitchen tiles. After things calmed down I remember her father - my uncle - saying "Is it just me, or does that kid have an incredibly long tongue?

Half the boys from my class got arrested one time for stealing police car hood ornaments. One of the guys was dating the daughter of one of the police officers at the time. It was pretty hilarious. Don't think I've ever seen anythimg quite as stupid (though relatively harmless) since.

Climbing Into a large truck tire and rolling down a steep hill into the Pacific Ocean
You played soccer till it was dark and your mom swooped in and dragged you home by your ears.
Lol! Relate to this so much. I’m 43 and had a super fun/wild childhood/ always outside and getting into trouble (in mostly pg13 ways). Feel like my young nieces and nephews are so boring and sheltered.
Broke open an Etch a Sketch to see what was inside and how it worked. Fortunately, this took place outdoors. Lots of silvery powder. Pretty cool. Found out many years later the powder is non toxic. This was also fortunate.
My friend and i going liquid mercury which was really cool- then the mom found out and called poison control lol!

Giving fake social security numbers on paperwork at 14 to get call center jobs, then blowing the paycheck on dinner at Ponderosa and Debs at the mall.
Hahaha omg that's so bad and illegal. Wheeled you get the SSNs?
Load More Replies... Cuurent kids in 20 years time: remember that time when we died in a video game and then started playing again with our next life?
My dad grew up in the same building my aunt lives in now, we went back to visit and he showed me how as a kid he'd get onto the roof of the elevator with his buddies and spy and spook their neighbors. Eek
I remember practicing archery with flaming arrows a friend and I concocted until his mom came home from work...that same friend and I also made a potato gun
So the internet has inadvertently REDUCED juvenile crime? Not according to the stats.
40yo F here. Me and my friends used to break into our neighborhood houses when no one was home of course. We did it just to prove ourselves that we could do it. It was fun to find ways to break into each house. I was very tiny and skinny so usually it was me squeezing in a gap or hole to enter. Once inside, we took something from the house as a trophy, usually snacks. I swear we were not criminals! Just loved climbing and adrenaline.
Entering abandoned buildings, swimming in possibly polluted creeks, or sledding while sitting on the hood of an old vehicle which is tied to a trailer hitch (hold tight on those curves).
Walking under the train bridge on the bridge beams while the train went overtop. Bridge was over a med sized creek
Beats being exposed to crazy nonsense ideologies, conspiracy theories, cyber bullies, sex way too early, online predators, and more things I’m probably too innocent to know about.
Shoveling dead cats off the middle of the road, hiding on top of my parents' garage because my bedroom window opened out onto it, got a knife pulled on me one time, almost got kidnapped by two old pervy men who my friend Chris swore he knew and could give us a ride to school that one time Fitzgerald's van broke down when we were cutting Physics lab, that one time I dropped my cat Flipper off our second story balcony to test the theory that cats always land on their feet (they do, and I was 4 so don't come at me please, he was a good boy who slept on my pillow until his final day), or the good old days of goddddammmnneddd Slip and Slides. AKA 1990s parental torture devices. "Come on, kids! It's fun! You run, you slide, you hit the bump and take a dive!!" No. The only kids who did that were 50lb gymnasts. The rest of us ended up on the lawn, injured and crying.
If parents back in my youth ever really knew what we were up to while "playing outside", there would be no subsequent generations because we'd still be grounded.
Don't forget blowing things up with m80s and tossing boxes of bullets in the fire
Let’s bring this one UP. I once poked a dead frog with a stick AND almost fell into the river bed. I also tore the cartilage in my left knee with a gnarley bike fall which causes great pain today.
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
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!!!
Oh my gawd, I just did those motions and my brain actually thought I was sending these messages.
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.
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…
Om nom pulled pork. These kids are crazy if they want hot dogs over pulled pork🤤
There's a much higher chance of being killed by the knife in his hands, especially if you're in the UK.
Bruh.... if i said I was bored I'd get told to go outside and do yard work or to get a new job
This guy won a College National Championship and was an All-American quarterback.
y'all just wear what you want most people don't care. If you're the one who cares, go get a life
my dad just got a leafblower and he brought us all outside to help him clean up the lawn. he was so happy with it :)

You at least need to throw her a congratulations barbecue and make her her favorite food
This is so me, my boyfriend and I can never shower together because the water when I'm showering will scold him, and I feel like his showers are like taking a walk through the Tundra
In the end he goes, “I’m proud of you, that’s what your mother would’ve wanted for you”
I don't hate harley bikes but I do hate most people on harley bikes that rev for no reason. Noise pollution is a thing, you attention-seeking jerks.
Bro, Y'all pick out an outfit the night before? I can hardly even plan what I'm gunna eat for dinner!
Understandable. But also, i want to know where this cheeseburger was that was apparently that amazing
I hope the dog ended up ok! That brisket also looks really good
We need to break the stigma and give the men the dresses!! /j
For me, it’s my wife saying we need to rein in spending then having a bunch of Amazon packages show up a few times a week
Alcohol abuse is not condoned in my house. That being said Pumpkin beer can go suck a*s.
I mean, if you don't want to bake, sure. And I'm okay with Red Lobster. Their food isn't bad. But all you need to do is add garlic & cheddar to a simple biscuit mix and if you want to get fancy baste em with a butter/garlic mix at the end. They're not hard to make.
Comfortable shoes when working on concrete saves the knees over time. Just cuz a place has carpet doesn't mean you're not standing or working on concrete!
For non Americans (and some Americans too i suppose) an apple orchard is a small farm that has apple trees on site that let you pick your own apples. They generally will also have a shop full of apple related foods and items to purchase. Some will have playgrounds and activities for children so it's a nice family outing. Dads hate them while moms love to use the scenic farm locale to take family photos.
If it ain't the truth. My power bill was under $100 in November and I bragged about it for weeks.
He deserves it! When you read on it you find out that she did a great deal to keep him healthy so that he could keep playing. Then when she finally says please stay retired and spend time with me and the children he pushes her aside. I do not respect that man!
MY dad admitted to me he bought a skirt while I was away abroad to trick my cat into sitting on his lap. (It didn’t work) I just found the skirt, it has pockets!
The list is going downhill the more I scroll. Get your s**t together bp!
guys just remember that smoking and drinking aren't good for you .. that's what it seems like too many of these are about. Addiction isn't fun for anyone involved
