In my growing years, when someone asked me, tell me something about your dad, I would say he is a straight-faced guy who barely cracks jokes, threatens verbally with punishments (which I never get), and ignores everything I say unless the same is echoed by Sharma Ji’s son. He might not be a celebrity but we still begged him (literally) to give us an autograph, on our report cards. In fact, I never gave my phone to him because then he would know that I have saved his number as ‘Mogambo’. Don’t give me that judgmental look because I am sure you have saved his number as ‘Hitler’. However, despite their strictness they used to spoil us regularly with toys, games and everything we wanted. Although they are really bad at expressing themselves, we love them nonetheless.

But, that was back in the day! Today’s dads are savage and brutal AF and it’s not wrong for our parents to worry about how our kids will turn out to be. They not only have their parenting game on point, but also know how to or how not to deal with tricky situations that involve kids. While fatherhood expects you to be patient, calm and sweet in front of children, these dads are far away from it; but are slaying the scene anyway. They’re goofy, hilarious, do not sugarcoat things, and have some brutal comebacks up their sleeves. So this Father’s Day, let’s take a look at some dads who have redefined badassery for this generation and transformed the face of parenthood.  

Being a dad means you need to be responsible for everyone around the block.

Accidentally played dad instead of dead when I encountered a bear and now it can ride a bike without training wheels.

After all, it’s education that matters.

Dad, this isn't even our school.

"Look kids…Daddy's hungover. Just go in there & learn something, ok?"

When we think we can finally overpower his wit, but...

My 14yo made fun of me this morning because I had to go to work while he had a snow day, so I changed the wifi password.

Now that’s what we call a realistic and practical parenthood.

Just taught my kids about taxes by eating 38% of their ice cream.

This is every dad’s fair warning.

My son can now reach the light switches so don't come over my house unless you're really into raves or want to have a seizure.

No paternity test needed!

Random lady: What's your name?

5-year-old: Thorin, son of Thrain, King under the Mountain

Lady:*looks at me confused*

Me: Bow to the king

And the best dad award goes to…

Singing my kids a lullaby called, "Get Your Ass Back in Bed."

— Abe Yospe (@Cheeseboy22) June 16, 2015

He is the personification of every Indian dad!

"Dad, I cant sleep."
Dad: [enters chugging a Monster] SLEEP IS DEAD. GET A JOB.
"Dad Im seven-"
Dad: SO WERE THE DWARVES BUT THEY HAD JOBS.

When you want them to be prepared for life!

[kids party]
"This bouncy castle is twice the price of last year"
Dad no
"That's.."
Please no dad
"..Inflation for you"
*kids start crying*

Either he is the best dad ever or the child just ran out of luck.

son: why is my name jesus
dad: mom wanted to name u after a rolemodel
other son: &me?
dad: well Charizard the same reason but it was my turn

The reason why kids have trust issues.

It's weird how we tell kids not to lie then tell them how good the picture they drew is.

— Simon Holland (@simoncholland) April 15, 2016

ROFL…this kid asked the wrong question.

Son: am I adopted?  

Me: not yet, but we're hopeful.

— Lloyd Rang (@lloydrang) June 26, 2013

When he takes it on him to find a ‘bae’ for you

Sensible dad: I'd like to buy 3 'fleeks' & 7 'swags' for my son.

"Sir this is Urban Outfitters"

Do you have any 'baes'?

"Please leave"

— Danny Charnley (@DanKCharnley) May 13, 2015

No one can ever beat his savage one-liners

Dad: Tall latte
Barista: Sure thing. Can I get a name?
Dad: What your parents didn't give you one?
*all the other dad's give him high fives*
