As Spiderman's Uncle Ben once famously said, "with great power comes great responsibility," few responsibilities are more significant than that of being a father. And while parenting should be a shared responsibility, fatherhood, however, gives a different depiction of what raising children should look like. Take these dads on our list for example. From innocently drawing eyebrows on your favorite daddy's girl to provide them with more expression to using them as a plate, these funny dad jokes seem to have no end to them.
If you are a freshly baked mom yourself, scroll through these funny parenting memes with caution, because afterward, you might not want to leave the dad and baby alone. On the other hand, without these funny dad memes, parenting can become quite laborious and dull. A good laugh delivered by a dad joke and a funny picture never hurt anyone. Be sure to check our compilation below!

I had to do something like this when my daughter was around 3 or 4. She wanted to go to the fair, and of course my Mom decides we were all going. If I didn't have one similar to this she would have run off into the crowd and I would have been freaking out. She was not happy about being tetherd to me, and she kept trying to escape. This was 15 years ago and I got a lot of dirty looks, but I didn't give a damn, I was going to keep my child safe one way or another. She's 21, married and finishing up nursing school now. Eventually she will have kids of her own, and I will reminder her of that day. Large crowds can be dangerous places to some people, definitely for kids. I think those should be a mandatory gift for 3-4 year olds on their birthday.

It's better to get weird looks and comments for having kid on leash than scrubbing it from a windshield of a truck.
Leslie Ann 8 years ago
I did this at an air show when my son was 1 -1/2. Worked great in that crowd. Also I took my granddaughters camping and my 7yr old granddaughter put leash on her 2yr old sister. Again it worked out great.
Kate Taylor 9 years ago
ACTUALLY, this is perfectly acceptable in my book - when my daughter was little (she's 16 now) I had a "leash" that would wrap around my wrist and the belt loop of her jeans. She could wander a few feet in the store or at a venue and not get lost or grabbed. Way to go!

Please change the title and introductory paragraph, or next time, please be aware of this: My husband is an at-home dad and does a great job with our daughter. Everytime he sees a titletter like this one or text like the first paragraph, he feels like all dads are treated as incompetent. If we moms say or act like dads are incompetent, that means we have to do all the work. I don't know about you, but I am pretty busy working and being a mom as is. We need to treat dads with respect if we want them to be equal partners.
Amy Kobos 8 years ago
Highly agree. This stereotype in society that dad's are idiots has become ingrained in many female's minds. My boyfriend, who is an amazing father of three, has been criticized and treated as an idiot older brother by his ex-wife and especially in front of the kids. The kids still think he is an idiot and treat him with no respect. The media need to do a healthier portraying fathers. It's pissing me off badly. Thank you for standing up for fathers, LSweet. We don't get many women like you who do.

First one was funny...but if Bored Panda could stop with these "bad father" cliché it would be great. Yes they are fun individually but repeating them over and over again just makes the cliché stuck (and by extension the opposite cliché of the housewife who always keep her house tidy). Cheers. A feminist.

I'll be a very ungrateful woman if I don't tell the whole world how the powerful spell caster called Osita saved my marriage, I've been to other spell casters without seeing any result. I just wished I came to you earlier, I got the best result from you. My husband left me to meet his ex for almost 4 months. I was helpless, drained, and depressed. I went from one spell caster to another for help but no result until my friend introduced me to the most powerful spell caster, Osita. After the Love Spell was done, my husband came back home begging for forgiveness. His spells worked wonders and my husband is back full of love. It's a miracle! All thanks to Osita, I was truly flabbergasted and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I'm really short of words and joyful, Dr Osita you are a God sent to me and my entire family.

my life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 2 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back.

I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my FRIEND. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my

I think the media needs to stop portraying fathers as idiots or comical. Kids need to be taught to honor their fathers for how they parent and stop being criticized or laughed at. This is exactly why my boyfriend divorced his ex. She even criticized him frequently in front of the children. Guess who has no respect for their father now? The kids. Way to go media. Treat fathers with more respect please.
