We’ve come a long way since the days of fathers being the breadwinners and mothers being the milk makers. Nowadays, dads are more hands on than ever before. Research shows a father spent an average of 16 minutes a day caring for his kids in 1965. By 2012, it had risen to 59 minutes a day. According to a 2023 study, American dads spend about 7.8 hours a week looking after their children at home. But juggling work, life and parenting can get painful. That’s why it pays to have a solid support structure to see you through the sucky situations.

Enter Facebook page Dadsnet: a place for fathers to share funny videos, expert advice, original content and discuss the highs and lows of parenting. We’ve collected some of their funniest fatherhood memes for when feel like a good laugh. And don’t miss the chat Bored Panda had with award-winning comedian Stuart Taylor, about how to inject some humor into the daily struggles of being a dad.

This makes me think of Kamala Harris - her step kids love her and Harris gets along really well with their mother. You don't have to give birth to care about others.

My daughter and her husband are very friendly with his ex-wife and her husband. They celebrate holidays and birthdays together so their kids will know that they are all there for them. I love it. ♥️

I was fortunate that after my parents divorced they remained friends even after remarrying. They set a good example and perhaps because of this I was able to remain friends with many of my ex girlfriends even after being married for 20 years. Sure it was awkward at first to change the dynamic or our relationship but it was works keeping good people in my life. It just didn’t work out romantically.

As the Dadsnet Facebook page reads, “The journey of fatherhood has its ups and downs and once you begin, life will never be the same.” That journey is bound to be filled with a lot of emotion, and very little rest. Sometimes you won’t know whether to laugh or cry. But when in doubt, we suggest you laugh. It’s good for you after all.

To help you out, Bored Panda has collected these hilarious memes from Dadsnet. We also enlisted the help of renowned comedian Stuart Taylor. He has over two decades of experience in the comedy industry. And almost the same amount of experience being a dad. But as he revealed, sometimes even the most skilled comedian can struggle to impress their own kids with a good dad joke.

    My grandchildren love to climb up and sit on my knee. Occasionally, due to various medical conditions, it is painful but I never stop them. My daughter said that I should say it hurts and stop them climbing on me but I just said that they will stop soon enough of their own accord. She answered “How do you know?” I just replied “You did.”

    A quick scroll through Taylor’s Instagram page shows that he dedicates a great deal of time coming up with daily dad jokes to entertain his audiences, and annoy his sons. He’s performed to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Berlin International Comedy Festival, New Zealand International Comedy Festival and the Montreux Comedy Festival in Switzerland. So we trust he knows what he’s doing when he concocts a cracking joke.

    We began by asking Taylor to define a dad joke. “A dad joke is a finely crafted piece of comedy where you mix the subtle art of cringe with a dash of eye rolling,” he said. “It’s the kind of joke that elicits groans from teenagers and secret chuckles from everyone else. You know it’s a dad joke when it’s so bad it’s good.”

    My daughter called when she was at college, "Dad, I got an MIP(underage alcohol consumption)" Me: "Dumbass", only time I ever had to say that. I said that because we had a conversation about being discreet if she was doing something wrong like that. Went with her to court, made her pay her own fines, but she did call me and I was happy she did. She knew, on the big stuff, I was there for her.

    Always better to help the kid fix the problems they're in than to have them hide it and make the situation snowball into something worse. Thinking of my cousin puncturing a waterbed. "Put duct tape over the hole and pretend it didn't happen" is not a good solution. Fun fact, a slow leak from a from a punctured waterbed can soak through the floor, saturate the ceiling in the room below, and cause it to collapse. Ask me how I know.

    Absolutely. Compassionate discipline - you can coach and correct your children (at any age) without making them afraid of you. Accountability and responsibility are not the same as punishment and coercion.

    Long story short, quite a few years ago, I got called to my older daughter's elementary school because she'd mis-behaved rather badly, which was not normal for her. I walked into the principal's office and asked "what happened"? She replied "you're going to kill me". That stopped me dead in my tracks and I had to ask her "have I EVER killed you before"? Her reply, with that little glint of mischief in her eyes, "ye-esss". We all started laughing, I found out what happened, she got suspended for 3 days and we fixed (maybe) what had caused the outburst but it's just that one memory of her saying"yes, you had killed me before" that always cracks me up.

    Okay, so what makes it really good? “A good dad joke has to be punny, groan worthy, and most important, you’ve gotta catch your kids off guard,” he revealed. “The best ones are the ones that you slip into a conversation, and make them cringe but hold back their laughter at the same time.”

    Actually two of my kids drew on themselves tonight. The youngest drew with dark purple up and down her arms and legs. The older one drew 3 suns on one arm and one leg -AFTER she asked permission. We'll probably get some remarks from the kindergarten teachers tomorrow. I don't care, honestly. As a kid my mom would go absolutely bananas when I drew on myself and I swore to myself back then that I would be a lot more laid back if I ever had kids that drew on themselves. Sometimes I draw on my kids.

    LOL he remembered the dogs name but not the kids name

    Taylor lives in Cape Town with his wife and two sons. We can only imagine what life is like with a comedian. We were curious to know whether funny bones run in the family. “I’m not sure that they share my sense of humor, but they certainly do have their own very quirky sense of humor," he told us. "With all sincerity, though, the very best thing about being a father, are the moments when they laugh.”

    Funny enough, the comedian says he can’t make his kids laugh as much as he can the people who pay to see him perform. We asked if the family appreciates his sense of humor. “‘Appreciate’ might be a bit of a strong word. They acknowledge my jokes,” he said, seemingly deflated.

    “I once asked Andy: ‘Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts!’ He sighed so deeply I thought he might just pass out. But then he secretly went and told his friends that joke. So maybe they appreciate it more than they let on.”

    As the old joke says: where does an 8ft.tall, 400 pound gorilla sit? Anywhere it wants.

    Having children has added a different dimension to Taylor’s comedy. “Becoming a dad certainly gave me a massive treasure trove of material. I mean, there’s nothing funnier than real life parenting mishaps,” he told Bored Panda. “I think my stories also became a little bit more relatable because I’m just talking about what the ‘Everyman’ experiences. On top of that, this is definitely a much bigger audience because there’s lots of parents that love to commiserate when you’re telling them about your pain.”

Yay!) And she want to go to school, too! She has also been a bit upset that her imaginary cousin (we don't do imaginary friends in this house, but imaginary cousins and a mr. Ghost and a mr. Zombie. Those we do to a level where I sometimes wonder if it's healthy or not) has moved a bit away. Oh, and she has been super-duper upset when we've told her to stop sucking her thumb. Wow!

    You add a can of formula on top and it IS money.

    On the topic of pain, Taylor has done his days of dirty diapers, and sleepless nights. His sons are both teenagers now. But that comes with a whole different set of daily struggles. “One is 13 and one is 16. So you know, there’s an overkill of testosterone in my house at the moment. It’s an interesting period in our relationship because there’s lots of jostling for alpha positions from time to time.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    As expected, Taylor often diffuses drama by dropping a daring joke. “Humor is like the gaffer tape of parenting - it fixes almost everything. When you can laugh at the chaos of school runs and the angst your teenager experiences when there is ‘nothing to eat’ in the packed pantry cupboard, it will make the tough times bearable and it will make the good times even better,” he told us. “I definitely think injecting some humor into your home will keep you sane. And let’s face it, kids are hilarious. Just not when they’re slamming doors or when his hormones are raging!”

    Taylor says his jokes don’t always land well at home. And that his kids are his toughest audience. “I once asked Andy ‘Why did the math book look sad? Because there are too many problems’ He replied with: ‘Your jokes are the real problem.’ OMG!!! Even worse though was telling him a dad joke and him giving me the correct answer. Followed up by ‘I’ve heard that before.’ That’s even worse than being heckled in a comedy club.”

    We asked Taylor what he loves about fatherhood. “Best part of being a dad is the endless supply of comedy material and laughs we have. Actually, no. It’s having these two guys in my house who teach me the most incredible lessons every single day," he replied.

    Then we asked what he hates… “Worst part of being a dad - stepping on a rogue Lego piece. Seriously, stepping on a Lego block hurts worse than gout.” And for those who don’t know what gout is, it’s probably for the best.

    My wife bought me a thing that was marketed as soap for men - all-in-one body and face wash, shampoo, conditioner, shaving soap and dishwashing detergent, if I recall correctly. The labelling was totally deadpan, not like a gag product, and it was genuinely amazing. I mean, any soap is all those things of course. But this was like someone had seriously set to making the best all-in-one soap for real. A solid bar, too (great for travelling). Never found it again.

She already knows (because she asks a LOT of questions and I always do my best to answer her honestly and as age-appropriate as I can) that it's the sperm that determines the gender of the baby, she knows the colours baby poop has from birth and until it's brown, and she knows that babies can come out from the girlie parts and also be cut out from the belly (c-section), and today we talked about how it is only ppl that were born as girls that can have babies in their bellies. I love that she's so currious about everything. ❤

Of course, they say in comedy timing is everything, so I would suggest trying it out first thing in the morning! Because they are too sleepy to roll their eyes.”

Because they make up everything.’ See!! Universally groan worthy,” laughed Taylor. And we could almost hear his sons sighing in angst somewhere in the distance.

    It just goes to show, no matter how experienced a comedian you are. Whether you perform to sold out audiences. Win awards. Travel the world making people laugh… You might never be funny enough for your own kids. But that’s not to say you shouldn’t try.

    Here's a long list of good bad dad jokes for when you need some help. Let us know in the comments how they landed with your kids!

    It's the opposite in my house, to the point where it saves a lot of time if, when my wife asks where something is, I just go and get it instead of waiting for my her to not be able to find it in the exact place I tell her to look..

    I was on a date a few years ago, we were in the nice theater. There was a younger couple a few rows behind us and they would just not shut up. I whispered to my date “do you mind if I say something to them?” She nodded to me. In my dad voice “Excuse me, I don’t know what two are doing back there, will you please stop it!” My date squeezed my arm a little tighter, and we didn’t hear a peep out of them the rest of the movie. Some people are just absolute a******s.

    My brother had a voice-activated super soaker when we were kids. You were supposed to say “Fire!” to make it, you know, fire. But it reacted to any noise so he just went around saying “Ahhhhhhh” into the mic to create a constant stream of water. Good times.

Cut ports in the sides and arm the parents with super soakers like that above & postition one parent at each port. Place unit at the end of the course and all participants must crawl thru the boxes while getting water blasted in order to complete the assignment!

I figure it's an honor that he trusts me and an opportunity to help him with his pronunciation. It's also exhausting as I can go days without saying anything . The after image is about right

    My brother is a single dad and I used to watch my nephew once a week for a couple hours. When he'd start acting up I'd go over to him and in a low, monotone voice talk to him about whatever he was doing wasn't acceptable and 98% of the time it worked. Rarely did I have to raise my voice.

    I'm not a dad but I'm a big sister and a teacher. One day we were at the beach with my dad and his 2 young children. We were going to eat at a restaurant so I go get my little sister (5yo) who was playing on the play ground. She was on top of the slide when I called her, and she simply yelled "no !". My teacher's skills immediatly activated and I just answered "Excuse-me ?!?". The whole playground stopped. Even the parents were looking guilty ! My sister slowly slided out the ground, took my hand and we went to eat... and all the parents and the other children breathed again.

    My Dad had a stroke while I was overseas. I came home and told my Mom to take off for a few weeks and I would take take of Dad. Asked Dad what he wanted for supper, he said chicken. So I went to grocery, bought a package of chicken backs (what my Dad always ate) and cooked a nice home meal. Just me and him. He looked at me and said "Son, you know I really do like the other parts of the chicken". All these years with 6 kids, he ate the chicken backs so the rest of use could eat a meaty piece of chicken.. That is a Dad's LOVE! Miss you so much Dad!

    It's sunny out, but the leaves on the bush are wet. Perfect time for a walk.

    My dad was always on the weather channel ! When we had to go out, he would go on his favorite local weather website and refresh every 10 minutes because "it's always changing in here !". One day he asked me to repair his computer and when I did, I installed his weather website as the opening page. I never thought he would be so excited ! He even called his wife on vacation to tell her what I did ! I was so amused ! Today he's gone and I'm 40... and I have 3 favorite weather websites that I check every other day...
