Photos That Show Family Life Is A Different Kind Of Hilarious
At the end of the day, your family members are the ones who you always come back to. They're there for you in the best and worst times and will always extend a hand when you need help. That said, your family is also generally chaotic in the most hilarious and unique ways.
Here are some photos about family life that are funny while also being oddly relatable.
Family Always Lowers The Bar
![fries mcdonalds fries in plastic bowl at potluck](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.12.34-PM-24257.jpg?width=800&height=533)
For the potluck, the person behind this monstrosity was asked to bring a potato dish. It could have been mashed, baked, or even a potato salad, but they took the worst route and hit the drive-thru.
Does Everyone's Mom Do This?
![microwave mug in microwave says :if found in the microwave please return to mom](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.20.24-PM-34154.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=144&left=94&zoom=0.962626043848)
I'm pretty sure there's a secret law that all moms have to make tea or coffee, forget about it, reheat it, and forget about it again at least once every day.
Merry Christmas From Secret Santa!
![secret santa tabletop covered in wrapped gifts](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.18.05-PM-72085.jpg?width=800&height=596)
This guy drew his sister-in-law for secret Santa and decided to get her a barn door shelving unit. It took him three hours to wrap all the separate parts, but it was worth the gag.
That Kid Could Probably End Me With One Punch
![plank babt doing a plank](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-1.02.29-PM-74152.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I am a grown adult who regularly played sports and exercised all throughout my youth, but I still probably can't hold a plank for more than 20 seconds. What workout plan is this baby on?
The Best Family Gift Is One You Want
![face family wearing shirts with photos of son/brother's face on it](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-1.09.55-PM-27010.jpg?width=800&height=533)
This is the higher level version of the time by my brother bought me the Blu-Ray DVD of The Dark Night for Christmas because he wanted to watch it again.
You Can't Stop A Dad From Making Dad Jokes
![dad joke sign on lawn reads: day 24- what do you call a line of rabbits marching backwards? a receding hareline](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.38.07-PM-32448.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=54&left=0&zoom=0.773694390716)
This dad might currently be in lockdown without any kids around, but he refuses to let his jokes go unrecognized. He puts a new on up every day for the neighborhood.
She Said His Speech Could Only Be One Page Long
![one page dad reading wedding speech on very long piece of paper](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-12.58.57-PM-91495.jpg?width=800&height=710)
Anyone who has gone to a wedding knows that the speeches at the reception can drag on a little long. However, this father of the bride refused to limit the length of his speech.
Pregnancy Runs In The Family
![pregnant pregnant woman holds belly while three men mimic it behind her](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.22.38-PM-38302.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=33&left=0&zoom=0.666666666667)
One of the greatest parts of having a big family is that you get to see how the genes have been passed down and mixed up from generation to generation.
I Relate To Emily Here
![EMILY Family together holding signs: EXHAUSTED, EXCITED, EXPECTING, and a girl alone that just says EMILY](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-12.39.21-PM-65386.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Major holidays are a great time to get together with family you haven't seen in a while and share all the new things that are going on in your life. Unfortunately, not everyone is at a milestone.
My Almost Fearless Hero!
![father son says his hero is his father, who is afraid of nothing other than his mom](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.28.03-PM-77249.jpg?width=800&height=455)
Dads are cool. They're good at fixing random things, are always down to toss you into a pool, and they're always cracking jokes. Their only weakness is Mom's very stern scowl.
Say Cheese!
![bucket kid with face in bucket](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-1.05.55-PM-18548.jpg?width=800&height=722)
Apparently, while shooting this baby on set, the photographer offered to take another picture, but this guy's mom said, "No... it’s perfect." Honestly, it's better than a staged photo could be.
Family Will Always Greet You Best
![prison woman at airport holds sign that says:](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.16.39-PM-10750.jpg?width=800&height=1072)
I guess they could have made her a wholesome "we've missed you" kind of sign for their grandmother, but real family members will use any given opportunity to publicly embarrass you!
Keep Prized Possessions Under Lock
![safe locked box full of snacks](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.33.23-PM-21533.jpg?width=800&height=779)
This is a 68-year-old man's quarantine safety box of necessities just in case things get a little dicey. He absolutely refuses to share the code for the lock with his wife.
Dad Forgot To Put The Guard Back On
![haircut kid with bald shaved spot on top of head](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-1.00.58-PM-29843.jpg?width=800&height=761)
Desperate times call for desperate measures, so when you can't make it to the barbershop, sometimes Dad will have to do. Let's just hope he doesn't try to bald you next time.
This Is An Evil Prank
![spider upside down cup with hole in it with note that reads: warning! aggressive spider under cup do not move until ready to Squish](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.23.44-PM-35442.jpg?width=800&height=858)
There are a few things that I think should be banned from practical jokes: the death of a loved one, the end of the world, and whether there's a spider running wild in the home.
I Hope He Gets His Bunny
![bunny man holds sign saying: my wife says if i get 1 million likes i can get a bunny. we already hve 5 kids, a dog, and a bid. Please like!](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Untitled-design-5-59061.jpg?width=800&height=1000)
I don't care if they already have enough kids to make a basketball team, as well as a dog and a bird: I want this man to get his bunny so they can play together.
He's Already Such A Good Uncle
![ultrasound drawing of ultrasound baby looks like a demon](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.25.13-PM-49548.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=812&top=0&left=0&zoom=0.769230769231)
I swear it is an uncle's job to antagonize and tease their nephews and nieces, and this one started from the first time he saw the little one, who was still in the womb.
Sometimes Traditions Are Actually Cute
![map present wrapped in a map labeled](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-1.04.34-PM-75336.jpg?width=800&height=915)
This person's new step-dad is a pilot who flies commercial jets. For every gift, instead of using wrapping paper, he wraps presents in old flight maps he has lying around.
You Put Up With Their Weird Whims
![washer Woman takes photo of husband pretending to be stuck in a washer](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-3.16.51-PM-89951.jpg?width=800&height=920)
This dad absolutely insisted that his wife take a photo of him from that one specific angle so that it would look like he was trapped inside of the washing machine.
I'm Glad My Parents Didn't Work In Education
![principal three boys hold signs that collectively say](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.31.26-PM-53921.jpg?width=800&height=533)
My parents were pretty strict when I was younger, but at least neither of them was the principal of an elementary school, so days off could be spent playing outside for hours.
There's Always One Jerk In The Family
![nea neapolitan ice cream with everything finished except full block of strawberry in the middle](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-1.03.18-PM-36050.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I swear that every family has that one evil person who will take all the good options from a chocolate box or eat all the good ice cream and leave the rest behind.
Bon Voyage, Mom And Dad!
![suitcase suitcase has photo of son on beach posing with caption: we love our son!](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.51.50-PM-33190.jpg?width=800&height=1060)
Upon their retirement, this guy's parents decided to do a lot more traveling. In order to show his support for their plans, this son made them this lovely custom suitcase.
Her Son Said He Made Brownies
![brownies baking tin with tinfoil cover taken off is full of brown letter](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.58.29-PM-46800.jpg?width=800&height=486)
Can you imagine this mother's disappointment when she went to the kitchen, took the tinfoil covering off, and found a punch of brown paper E's instead of a chocolatey treat?
Siblings Were Created By The Devil
![lock glasses with a lock around the nose bridge](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-3.07.30-PM-60469.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Having siblings is always a love-hate relationship. On one hand, you would die for them without hesitating for even a second. On the other, they do evil things like put a lock on your glasses so you can't wear them.
Even Famous People Have The Same Family Dynamics
![tom tom hollands dad gets excited and embarrasses him when emma watson walks past them](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.29.54-PM-58272.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Tom Holland might play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that doesn't make him exempt from being embarrassed by his overeager dad when Emma Watson walked right past them.
This Is The Cutest Gag Gift Ever
![slippers dog between pair of slippers that look like him](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-1.11.13-PM-57074.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Every year for Christmas, the owner of this dog buys her parents a gag gift that directly represents her furry pal. This year, it was these slippers that are nearly identical to him.
Sometimes Your Parents' Past Is Better Left Unkown
![raccoon photos of man and woman holding racoon like baby in the house](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-2.44.35-PM-11264.jpg?width=800&height=1049)
As you grow older, you wonder more and more about what your parents were like when they were young. Be careful, though—you might find out that they used to have a pet raccoon.
Family Never Lets You Forget Your Worst Moments
![mug ugly photo of girl on mug](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-3.09.23-PM-85823.jpg?width=800&height=533)
If social media like Instagram and Facebook are a collection of photos where we are our most put-together version of ourselves, then family photos are at the exact opposite end of the spectrum.
Home Is Where The Hate Is!
![hate sign is covered with paper than reads](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-3.11.51-PM-39284.jpg?width=800&height=533)
After her kids continuously made fun of her "Live, Laugh, Love" sign in the kitchen, she decided to make some drastic revisions. Family truly brings out the best and worst in us.
All Families Are Different, But Also The Same
![mom v dad mom holding son down slide vs. dad letting the kid slide chaotically](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Screen-Shot-2020-04-24-at-3.15.12-PM-92475.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Each individual family has its own jokes, dynamics, traditions, and relationships between each other, but there are some things that remain universal between all of us, like dads tossing us to die on the slide.
