40 Hilarious Father's Day Memes To Send To Your Dad This Weekend

happy fathers day meme

Deciding how to celebrate Father's Day shouldn't be so tough, and yet, it is. But these Happy Father's Day memes should at least be a way to make him smile on his special day!

After all, it's the one day out of each year meant exclusively for dads and for celebrating all of the amazing stuff fathers do for their kids, so wish him a Happy Father's Day in a way that makes him feel special, understood, loved and appreciated.

In addition to loving us — you know, unconditionally — it's our dads who set the tone for what we will expect of men over the course of our entire lives — for better or for worse!

It's dads who make you laugh with their particular sense of humor — i.e., lots and lots of gross/cheesy/corny "dad jokes." It's dads who distract you from your skinned knee with a bad knock-knock joke. It's dads who are willing to let you stay up just a little bit later so that you can see the end of whatever junk you happen to watching on TV.

Sure, dads aren't perfect — no one is — but dads definitely deserve a day just for them on which they are celebrated for all of the ways they make us feel loved and cared for.

But how exactly to do it? Sure, there's all the traditional stuff — tools, a tie, a card with a baseball bat on it — but those just feel so darn impersonal. How about sending him a funny "Happy Father's Day" meme instead?

Growing up, my dad was not exactly "the traditional dad," so coming up with ideas for what to do to celebrate his special day when Father's Day came around was always a headache. I think if I'd ever just thrown in the towel and bought him a tie he might have ultimately been happier than he was with the weird of assortment of different things I tried to send his way across the years.

Father's Day isn't like a birthday. You don't just want to buy your dad something that you know he'll love, you want to buy (or make) him something that lets him know just what a great dad you think he is.

For me, that's often meant penning cards to my dad, especially now that I'm older. He never used the pen set I got him as a kid (and fair enough) but he absolutely loved the card I wrote him that said, "Thank you for remembering that I needed food and water whenever mom was out of town."

Now that we live in the peak of the internet era, it makes sense that we would all turn to the internet for options for gifts and cards for our fathers. But as great as the internet is, it's also vast and full of all of the awful gifts and sentiments about Father's Day that most of us do our best to try and avoid.

Luckily, I have solved this problem for you with just one word: memes.

Nothing says, "I love you dad, you idiot," like a collection of perfectly selected and totally hilarious Father's Day memes, so that's what I've done — rounded up some of my own personal favorites. They are perfect for your father, for your friend's father, and heck, they are even perfect for people who probably should never have become father's in the first place!

This Father's Day, celebrate with funny memes!

Here are the best funny "Happy Father's Day" memes and corny jokes around for all the dads out there (and to earn your rightful spot as your dad's favorite kid)!
