Pics That Prove Dad Jokes Are Still Funny After All

You'd think that fatherhood somehow came with a manual full of jokes. All dads have the same set of jokes that magically pop into existence the second their first child is born.

These dads will at least get a chuckle out of you, proving that dad humor might actually be kind of funny.

If he looks like Einstein, why not fully embrace the persona and "become" him? Dads love to take a joke to the highest possible level, often completely killing it in the process, but the joke somehow gets funny again when they stick with it.

The real crime here is that this dad was left alone with the child. Just kidding, this is quite an accurate depiction of life with a toddler and the "accidents" that come with that. But why call it babysitting if it's your kid?

Well, in his defense, he followed instructions... There were no specifications on the length of that one page. Let's just hope the font size was maxed out and this toast was given after dinner when the guests could nap in food comas.
