Funniest Fatherly Memes for Dads, by Dads, and of Dads That'll Make You Buy a New Pair of New Balance Sneakers

Dadness is a quality that overtakes men of a certain age who have fathered children. The origin of dadness isn't entirely understood, but it is certainly universal. Dads do be dadding. Besides, there is perhaps a center of the male brain that gets triggered, driving dad-like behaviors and actions, like running in an airport or guarding the thermostat like everyone's lives depends on it. Maybe you're a dad and haven't been summoned yet, but oh, just you wait. One minute you're a dashing, athletic, young dad and the next minute your day is ruined when you scuff your New Balance sneakers, your rival neighbors throw a better barbecue than you did, and you fell asleep in the good chair in front of the game.

 

Face it, we'll all become our parents one day. We just didn't know that we'd have no choice in the matter. All it takes is for the dad gene to be triggered and you'll be sneezing loud enough to cause some permanent ear damage.

20 Gollum memes for those who want the precious

Say what you like about good ol' Sméagol — at least the guy's got dedication and staying power — that's certainly more than a lot us can say. You'd have to imagine that, if he was able to accurately portray these qualities on his CV, he'd do quite well in a job interview process. I, for one, would hate to come up against him in that final selection process.

Sure, there's that whole "murdered his cousin in cold blood" thing, but, if recent trends are anything to go off of, that would just mean that he'd do quite well with the ladies too. He's the complete package, a double threat; Jeffrey Dahmer, move over and make room for Sméagol to move on into the murder podcast girlies' hearts and minds. 

If you're someone who enjoys a hefty dose of Gollum and Sméagol, and you just can't get enough of this devilish little bastard, then you're going to love this collection of memes.

Married Couple Moves in with Friend, Conservative Wife Asks Friend to Remove 'Scandalous' Wedding Photo in Her Presence

I would not want to be Dahlia's husband. This woman is not just crazy religious, she's also just crazy. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by her husband, who had recently asked his friend Anthony if he and his wife could temporarily move in after their stay with his mother did not go over well. One has to wonder why their stay with the mom went so poorly. Let's be real here: it was probably Dahlia.

 

Dahlia put her husband in the most uncomfortable situation when she refused to leave her room until the very wholesome but apparently "scandalous" photo of Anthony and his wife kissing was taken down. Anthony refused to take it down, not only because it wasn't at all scandalous, but also because this was his own home after all. The Redditor tries his best here to make it seem like Anthony is being out of line, but the facts speak for themselves. Dahlia is out of line. Keep scrolling below to see for yourselves.

'16 years ago [...] I slept with another woman which resulted in another child': Cheating husband punishes daughter for acting out after she felt excluded

This guy refuses to take any responsibility for his actions. That much is clear based on this thread, which was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit. 

 

The first red flag in his post comes in the second sentence when he admitted to cheating on his wife and fathering another child as a result but blamed the encounter entirely on alcohol. 16 years later, although his wife has forgiven him, she still refuses to associate with her husband's daughter in any way. This is where she is the culprit too. Clearly, there are unresolved problems within their marriage because the wife is placing the blame on the wrong person. Meanwhile, the Redditor is neglecting his daughter and constantly giving her the short end of the stick in order to keep his wife happy. Keep scrolling below to see what happened when the whole family went out and the Redditor's wife refused to let her husband give his daughter a lift.

'Ok, boss': Supervisor mandates no overtime but also mandates checking emails at home, guy charges it as overtime

Which is it? No overtime… or checking emails at home? You can't have both. Too many employers these days expect their employees to be always available —without receiving compensation for it. 

Anyone who has worked retail, or in a waged position, has had an employer who has made it as difficult as possible to claim overtime. The store closes at 6:30 pm, and you're only contracted for those hours. So in an inexplicably non-existent amount of time, you have to manage to round up all the customers, get them out of the premises, pack everything inside, count the till, get the staff out the door, and access the safe. This frequently takes over 10-15 minutes, but you'd better not dare claim overtime for it. The repeated grief you've received for previously claiming it has made the company's position perfectly clear.

This low-grade wage theft multiplies when you consider that 15 minutes a day is over an hour of paid labor a week, and that's without considering all the missed breaks.

So, when this employee was faced with the conundrum of needing to be available to check their email after hours, they considered themselves to have been granted an exception to the previous "no overtime" ruling. This would have disastrous consequences for their supervisor.

30 Ridiculous design FAILs from people who lacked proper judgement

We always point to the invention of the lightbulb as the penultimate moment of creation, greater maybe than the creation of man itself; but instead of a bearded dude elegantly touching fingertips with a ripped naked bloke, this creation involved another (less bearded) dude sitting in his basement, touching himself, and smashing wires together. 

By all accounts, Thomas Edison was a total a-hole (AITA for screwing over my rival Nikola Tesla?) —but despite the misbehavior of its inventor, nothing has stopped the lightbulb itself from becoming the icon of innovation —we literally use it to signify when someone has an idea.

But that leads one to think… Surely we must have invented something in the span of human existence that outranks the lightbulb in importance. What about the wheel? What about penicillin? I won't rest until we change the culture enough so that everyone recognizes the meaning when a little bottle of antibiotics suddenly appears over a character's dome —whilst they shout an exclamation once uttered by a man floundering in an overfilled bathtub.

As amazing as the lightbulb might have been, there were some inventions that were not so great. These are those creations.

'Sir, I sent those requests to you two weeks ago': Commander demands every expenditure passes through his approval, subordinates oblige

Nothing receives a coordinated response quite like an overly-stupid directive, especially when that directive is passed by a superior who everyone already intensely dislikes. Usually, there has been a long road of headaches caused by micromanagement before the subordinates reach this point —so the superior has it coming. 

When you're in charge, it's important to be specific, fair, and rational with your commands, especially in the military — where following orders is incredibly important and drilled into soldiers from the moment they set foot in boot camp. These enlisted men will take any chance presented to maliciously comply with the vague orders of a malevolent commander, and there has been no shortage of stories online proving this.

So, when this micromanaging commander demanded that every expenditure pass across his desk, his subordinates were happy to oblige his command to the letter. It wouldn't take long before this would (predictably) blow up in his face.

'As soon as he unmutes I yell that he's a liar': Woman realizes her BF is covering for his cheating friend so she tells the truth

Would you cover for your friend if they were cheating? This woman's boyfriend certainly tried to cover for his cheating friend…that is, until she found out about it. She posted her story to this thread on Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit, and let's just say that the people in the comments section were quick to tell this woman to get out of her own relationship.

 

The mentality there is that if he's willing to cover for a cheater, then he very well may be a cheater himself. Rather than preach to the choir here, I have to interject to say that this perspective feels a bit far-fetched. There are people on Reddit who will tell you to RUN from your relationship the second your partner uses your toothbrush. I definitely think the original poster and her boyfriend need to have a long private discussion about their friend's infidelity and where their individual and collective loyalties lie. But have the discussion before you up and leave!

'I was so flabbergasted that I blankly nodded': Boss wants worker to be available while at home without on-call pay or extra compensation

This worker received a request from their boss that they remain available and respond to texts and emails while off duty, asking that they do this "as a favor" and without further compensation. This has sparked discussion in a popular online community around the ethical and legal issues with the request and the precedence it sets.

15 Egregious 'out of touch' comments people witnessed from the obscenely wealthy

Some people are born without common sense —but with an obscene amount of wealth. 

At the end of the day, we are only human and, as such, are direct products of the environments in which we were raised. Whether or not you have common sense, if you've never had to pay for, say —a sandwich — in your entire life; then you're not going to have any life experiences, or even a frame of reference, for what a sandwich costs when you finally do need to pay for one. This seems absurd to the rest of us, but it's just the reality of the situation. I, for one, would have absolutely no idea where to donate my cedar clothes hangers once they lost their scent —not that I'd ever notice in the first place. 

This question was born from that famous quote from Arrested Development's fabulously out-of-touch Lucille Bluth. "I mean, it's one banana Michael, what could it cost? Ten dollars?"

Remote Worker With Back Problems Gets Kicked Out of Zoom Interview Mid-Sentence for Not Sitting at a Desk

We've all been given radio silence from recruiters before, but this is a new level of savage ghosting from a potential employer. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/DentistThink4578, who opened up about a horrible Zoom interview experience he had recently.

 

The original poster has serious back problems that make sitting in an office chair hard to do (hence, the need to work remotely). During the interview, he set up his laptop on a lap desk and used a neutral background. It was about as professional as it could be given his condition, but no less than two minutes into the interview, the Redditor found himself cut off mid-sentence. He checked to see what happened and learned that he had been kicked out of the Zoom interview and blocked with a single departing message explaining that "we prefer workers who sit at desks in chairs." Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the suggestions people made in the comments about what he should do next!

Funniest Christmas Memes and Tweets Even Though It's the First Week of November

That's right, it's time! Halloweekend is over and we've all paid our November rent, which means that social media is already skipping Thanksgiving, and we are now completely consumed with thoughts of the Holiday season. 

 

You know what that means…you either have to get into the Christmas spirit or hide in a corner somewhere and wait until 2023. Otherwise, you will be overcome with all the December content coming a whole month early. Look, I'm not necessarily condoning this behavior, but it's just a fact that culturally everyone's starting to talk about Christmas by the start of November. I mean, there's a reason why Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" has already re-entered the top 100 on US iTunes. I don't make the rules. This is quite simply what the Internet will look like in the near future. Keep scrolling below for the funniest memes and tweets we have already come across!

Bride and Groom Break Up Before Wedding, She Gets Mad at Sister-in-Law for Canceling $700 Wedding Gift

You can't cancel your wedding and still collect your gifts, honey. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Relative_Attempt6316, who shared how she canceled the $700 gift she ordered for her husband's sister after learning that her sister-in-law and her fiancé broke off their engagement. 

 

The big mistake here is that the sister-in-law was already well aware of the gift the Redditor had purchased, so she was expecting its delivery. The crazy part though is that she actually had the audacity to reach out and ask where the gift was. According to the comments section on Reddit, it's customary for the would-be bride and groom to return gifts if the wedding doesn't pan out. This whole scenario is one giant awkward situation. The fact that the mother-in-law even stepped in to defend the sister-in-law says a lot about the Redditor's in-laws and how much she's going to have to deal with moving forward.

College Student Told His Essay Was Too Short, Gets Revenge By Writing Extra Long Paper Next and Getting It Published

Revenge may not be the healthiest motivator, but it can help! This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Wild_Butterscotch977, who was an art history major in college and who was ever-so-slightly peeved when he received an A- simply because his paper was on the lower end of the assigned page range. Normally, I'd say this person is ridiculous and should have accepted the A-. However, once the Redditor confronted the professor, it became clear that the page length was the only reason and the paper itself was deserving of an A.

 

Cue malicious compliance! For the next paper, the original poster ensured that it was almost double the length of the assigned page minimum. Not only did this paper earn the A grade the Redditor clearly wanted, but also he ended up submitting the piece to a university journal for publication and it was ultimately accepted. Sometimes, malicious compliance and revenge can lead to happy endings!

'It was a little awkward': Guy dunks on 8-year-old in Super Smash Bros, wonders if he's wrong

This will be the kid's supervillain origin story.

I had to share this one just because of the sheer hilarity of the picture it paints. Just some grown-ass man absolutely and mercilessly annihilating the kid and repeatedly three-stocking him —something along the lines of the Billy Madison dodgeball scene. 

Were the OP's actions kind of mean? Maybe— but I would argue there's a hidden benefit here: He's providing (free) valuable life lessons to the kid that now the parents won't have to teach. Learning to have to work for success and what it feels like to fail is infinitely valuable —as is learning humility in the face of that defeat. They're lessons and experiences that we can only wish that more people had learned at as young of an age.

Funniest Relatable Memes For The Broke People Who Know That Money Does In Fact Buy Happiness (November 2, 2022)

I got 99 problems, and money can solve every single one of them. In today's economy, the rich keep getting richer, and the poor keep getting poorer. Your paycheck comes around and shortly thereafter, it seems like it never came at all. Inflation is at an all-time high, and the amount of negative zeros in your bank account keeps growing. You're left wondering, how the hell is this happening? Well, we can blame the economy all we want, those infamous TikTokers, and the state of the government… but if we're being totally honest, a large amount of takeaway may also be involved. Pizza is just too goddamn good. Your excuse is as good as anyone's 'You only live once, right?'

Well, technically you're not wrong. Let's hope the gods favor us and send us a few good blessings our way, we could certainly use a raise. In any case, calling all broke people - You'll enjoy these all too relatable memes we've compiled for you.

Funniest Memes That Are Only Relatable If You're The Absolute Worst Kind of Person

Okay, we can all agree that Karens are the worst kinds of people, right?  But are vindictive Yelp reviewers somehow even worse than a standard run-of-the-mill Karen? Or how about that guy at every college party who knows one song on the guitar? That guy is definitely the absolute king of cringe, but is he worse than a Yelp Karen? 

Regardless of who you are or where you live, there are certain kinds of people who do things that are just simply the worst. They're the "Kevins" of society — if you will.

There are always the confident outcast folks of society who don't even realize that literally everyone complains about them, their actions, and their effect on social constructs. More likely than not, at least 90% of the worst kinds of people don't even realize they are the worst, so take a good look in the mirror and study the memes below. If any of these are relatable, you must be one of these people.

Epic Collection Of The Worst Dating App Fail Memes We Saw This Week (November 1, 2022)

The world of dating apps is a tough one and much like Whiskey, it's an acquired taste. It usually begins with some peer pressure - your friends convince you that everybody's on it and you just have to try it. From there you grudgingly build a bio and pick out some of your best pictures, then send it over to a friend for approval. You get some pretty harsh feedback, change it up a little, and voila. You are ready to go. That was the easiest part, it's mostly all downhill from there… You get bombarded with bots and get ghosted (sometimes by the bots!)… and that's assuming you even get matches. Dating apps have an infamous reputation for being the absolute worst. At the same time, it's so addicting, you can't help yourself. Maybe the next swipe will bring you some luck… or the next one… and so on and so forth. We invite you to take a quick break from swiping (or lurking on your friend's swiping) and check out the funniest dating app fails we've discovered this week on Reddit. Enjoy.

'He's been telling me all year that I [...] wasn't good enough for my role': Employee quits for better job after boss threatened him all year

Here's a rare satisfying story about a horrible boss getting what he deserved! Sometimes, you have to be willing to walk away in order to truly make your point known. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/SkullBearer5, who shared that after messing up over a year ago on the job, his boss was still threatening to fire him constantly. 

 

It got so bad that the Redditor went ahead and applied to a much better company. When he got the position, he first felt guilty about leaving during a busy time for the company (thanks for that feeling, capitalism!). However, those feelings went away when his boss decided to threaten him yet again. This was when the Redditor came clean about the new upcoming position and when his boss immediately tried to backpedal. Too late! You can only threaten your employee for so long before it comes back and bites you on the butt. Keep scrolling below for the full story!

Entitled Couple Tricks Guy Into Trading for Worse Plane Seat, He Ends up With a Better Seat

If you needed proof that karma can act in instantaneous ways— this is it. 

There's nothing worse on this earth than someone who is willing to nefariously take advantage of other people's inclination toward goodwill in order to further themselves. These grifters have no conscience, stop at nothing, and are a parasite to society. Luckily, they also sometimes also are served the just desserts that their actions have wrought. 

When this traveler happened across a couple on his flight, they kindly requested that he swap seats with the woman so that the couple could sit together. Seeing as she was also in another aisle seat, the traveler agreed, thinking it would be a win-win.

As soon as he sat in his new aisle seat, the couple dropped the revelation on him that his new seat was actually the adjacent middle seat. The traveler was flummoxed, but the situation quickly went from bad to fantastic when the doors closed, and the seats next to him remained empty; he had the entire row to himself!

Our traveler, Reddit user u/Natisev, posted this story to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit. Keep reading for the screenshots of the thread and some of the responses.
