Bad Father’s Day Gifts That Prove Not Even The Thought Counts

It's nice to recognize a father on his day for all his care, paying bills, cooking, fixing the car, mowing the lawn, etc... Fathers do a lot. These kids had their own way of showing their love and appreciation. Let's just say they got creative.

This dad took his kid to see Deadpool on opening night. Little did he know, this would create the theme for his gifts for his birthday, Father's Day, and Christmas.

The thing is, they've gone to watch other Marvel and DC movies too, but this is the one that stuck. At least he's consistent.

This family does not like to embellish or beat around the bush. This award basically says, "We know you're trying your best, Dad....and you're doing okay...but keep trying." We wonder if he got an upgrade the next year.

This mug was an early Father's Day gift from a 6-month-old daughter. She's not likely to have been the one to go buy a coffee mug...or understand how she came to be. Do we think she was planned?

This kid's mom ordered the gift for them. She set the Amazon package on the table and all she asked for was for the kid to wrap it... Honestly, this perfectly drawn bow looks like it took more effort.

The original Father's Day gift did not include the sticky note. It was (ironically) a dad joke, about dad jokes, like a jokeception! The daughter was not impressed.

There is definitely some logic behind this... However, the marketing needs to be reworked a little bit as these dads aren't quite "dads" yet. It just increases the odds of them getting there.

Sometimes, when you're really broke, you have to improvise for a Father's Day gift...but frankly, offering to do their chores sounds like a great tradeoff. Although, if you show them you can do it, they must start expecting it.

"Happy Fat Day!" Did you ever even notice that the word "fat" was part of the word "father" till now? Is that why "dad bod" and "beer bellies" are popular terms? This kid is way ahead of the rest of us.

It is no surprise that this shirt was not gifted by the "dumbass kids," but rather ordered by the mother. So it seems that there's a consensus between the parents, and it's not clear if the kids agree.
