There’s something special about 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 dad memes, jokes, one-liners, or 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.

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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.
