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
Yes! My mom still does this! She somehow knows exactly where the best lights are, despite having not driven in the area since the previous year

I still do this with my mum, I'm the one who does the driving now as she has Alzheimer's but she loves seeing the lights and it's a yearly tradition for as long as I have her.
This is so beautiful. We never know what exactly they remember in there. Keeping this tradition alive for her is one of the most touching gestures you could possibly do. Enjoy every moment you can with your mom ❤

My favorite Christmas memory, ever (other than the year I got a Fonzy motorcycle), is the time we saw a life size Nativity scene. As my kinda devout Catholic mum slowed down so we could all get a good look, my younger sister piped up from the back of the station wagon with "please don't stare at the exhibit for too long. The mother WILL eat her young." I started laughing so hard, I almost wet myself. It only got worse when my mum started sputtering "CHRISTINA FRANCES!" over and over, which only encouraged my cackling fits. I had the mother of all headaches by the time we got home, but it was sooo worth it. I still can't see a Nativity display without the urge to start laughing.
That's so cute! I may have to adopt that saying/name to use with my kids! Thanks!!

A friend of mine got his mom to drive me around to do this for the first time when I was in my twenties visiting Canada, it was magical. We don’t/can’t really do that here.
I do it with my son now! But sadly there aren't as many as there were 30 years ago.. :(
We have this one family in our city who goes all out rents a radio station to sync his light to (as to not disturb neighbors) plus if you go to watch their show they bring around homemade cookies. They're such a sweet older couple and somehow their light show gets better yearly, I love them!
I actually love that. It’s a bummer we often don’t have snow at Christmas in the Midwest anymore. Holidays are so different than they were in my childhood. Cousins would spend the day sledding while parents readied for “Santa.” Now we’re lucky if there’s a dusting of white magic glitter on the ground.
Of course, when I was a child, my mother used to take my sisters and I for a walk around the neighbors, at that time lights were not common, but people used all kind of paper Christmas decorations, now, me and my husbad do the same with our children
One of mt kids got glasses this past December. Driving home from the glasses store with her new spectacles, she was constantly going "WOW looks at the lights!" No one realized she couldn't tell they were individual lights and not just bright blurs. Now she can appreciate Christmas in full detail!
I grew up in a poor rural area, so my father would bundle us and the neighbor kids up, stick us in the back of his hay-lined pickup truck, and drive us into the posh neighborhoods. I can still see all the bright lights reflecting off our delighted faces.
We spent out xmases listening to my dad and mom argue..ahhhh...good old days
Yes and if their was music then we would listen but we don’t do it anymore cause people just use the same thing every year
We counted lit trees and colorful lights and it was such a great time spent together.
That was our Christmas Eve tradition. My parents did it with me and we did it with our daughter.
We used to drive by this one house that would always go all out on Christmas lights. I wonder how much it all cost.
Still happens here in Ireland, there are several houses which always have big displays, and generally they collect money for charity. The 9ne nearest me has raised €70,000 over the last 27 or so years, all going to the hospital that cared for a family member before their death.
We were lucky. There were several neighbors nearby to go through AND a chirstmas tree farm less than a mile away would sell hot coco and had a drive through light display.
My dad still tries this. Unfortunately, there was an 'incident' in my childhood at a light park in WVA (along with my parents, sister, grandfather, cousin, uncle, 2nd cousins, and great-uncle, an ill-advised car "caravan", multiple bathroom trips, and missed medication schedule) that has forever impacted my ability to do this as I am still traumatized over 30 years later...
I'm that parent now. And this year I skyped my parents so they could see all the lights too
Yes every year before Christmas and now it’s a tradition with my kids
yes, i’m 47 and ifi ask my daddy will still do it 😁 my daughters still have us take them, even though we’ve had to start taking 2 🚙🤦🏻♀️🐄
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
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

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
