Do you know what the best thing about dads is? They're like walking joke machines! Seriously they're basically programmed to spew out corny jokes every chance they get. It's like they have a quota or something. But hey let's give credit where credit is due - it takes some serious talent to come up with those "dad jokes." And don't even get me started on how they text. Who else can make a joke using emojis and still manage to make you roll your eyes and chuckle at the same time? If you're ever feeling down just call your dad or better yet check out these side-splitting texts from dads. Trust me; it's worth it!

Talking back to teachers is a big no-no in most households. But hey let's give credit where credit is due; our parents did it too! Now most dads would probably freak out if their kid even thought about calling their teacher a bad name. 

But not this cool dad; he saw the humor in it and probably gave his kid a high-five for being so witty. Grounding? Psssh that's for amateurs. This dad knows how to appreciate a good joke even if it's at the expense of a teacher.

Let's talk about the big elephant in the room - coming out to your parents. It's like trying to jump over a hurdle that's taller than Mount Everest. But here's a little tip - don't let autocorrect be your wingman. 

This poor dad and daughter duo had a bit of a mix-up thanks to autocorrect but hey at least her dad will be cool with it if she ever decides to actually come out. So remember always proofread your texts before hitting send. Or just blame it on autocorrect and have a good laugh about it later.

Bugs! The creepy crawlies make most people shake in their boots. But don't worry my little grasshoppers; there comes a time in everyone's life when we have to put on our big kid pants and deal with these six-legged critters just not when you're still mooching off your parents. 

As long as dear old Dad is around you can sit back and relax while he takes care of any uninvited guests. Unless of course your dad is the one sending you panicked texts about a rogue spider in the bathroom. In that case you're on your own kiddo. Good luck!

Listen up fellow dads! We all wanna be cool and hip like our kids right? But this one dad is taking it to the extreme! He's making up his own internet lingo and his kid is totally diggin' it. 

Move over LOL and LMAO; there's a new set of initials in town! We used to think he was just smashing the keyboard but it turns out he's a genius trendsetter. Watch out internet slang; the dads are comin' for ya!

Ha! Can you believe it? This poor kid thought they were being sneaky by typing a "$" instead of an "S" but their dad was onto them! Unfortunately they went one step too far and dropped a swear word. Big mistake. Suddenly the dad turned from ally to enemy.

Can you imagine how awkward family dinner is going to be now? Maybe a heartfelt "Oops my bad pop" could smooth things over but let's be real it's gonna take a lot more than that to get back in Dad's good graces.

These wild kids be like 'Don't tell me what to do old man!' But hold up; this father-son duo got a whole new vibe going on. Like yeah the dad went a little cray-cray with his response but you gotta give him props for being a straight-up savage. I mean if a cop is like 'Yo cover up that crime with this handy-dandy tip' you better listen up son! And if that cop just so happens to be your pop well then you know he's got your back... and your front... and your sides. #FamilyGoals

Let's be honest here every parent with more than one kid claims to love them all equally. But come on; if you're from a big family you know the truth. There's always that one sibling who gets more love than the others. But not this dad. Nope he's not playing favorites here.

In fact he hates them all equally! Now that's what we call equality. We wouldn't be surprised if Frank Gallagher from Shameless had a hand in writing this one. Keep it real Dad!

Listen up kiddos if you want to party with me you better bring your A-game! None of that snooze-fest behavior; we're gonna get wild and crazy! I mean come on who wants to be a boring party pooper? Not this dad that's for sure.

I've been there done that and got the t-shirt to prove it. So let's do this; let's make some memories and have a night to remember (or maybe forget if it gets too wild).

Hey kiddos! If your folks offer to grab you some goodies from the store make sure you don't ask for anything too embarrassing. Trust us; you don't want to end up like this poor sap who got roasted by his own dad. It wasn't because he got angry. 

Oh no it was because he dropped a savage burn that left his son scarred for life. So be careful what you ask for unless you want to be the butt of your parent's jokes for the rest of your life!

Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughs when you ask your dad the simplest of small talk questions like “What’s up” or “What you’re doing.” If your dad is a jokester at heart it’s like walking through a minefield of hilarity. 

But hey let's give credit where credit is due; this dad is the ultimate textbook example of a prankster. Plus who can resist cracking jokes about the absurdly high gas prices these days? It’s funny because it’s true!

Ah the age-old dilemma of parenting - to surprise or not to surprise with birthday presents. Some moms and dads love the thrill of the hunt scouring the stores for the perfect gift that will make their kid's day. But let's be real ain't nobody got time for that. 

Why beat around the bush when you can just straight up ask your kid what they want? Sure they might ask for a pet unicorn or a trip to the moon but hey dream big or go home right? And who knows maybe if they ask for a dragon next time you'll magically be able to deliver. Stranger things have happened my friends.

Let's talk about those little bundles of joy we call kids. Don't get me wrong we love 'em to bits but let's admit it they can be pretty darn annoying at times. And this dad here he's not afraid to say it out loud. He's not even hiding it from his kids! Usually it's the little ones who swear like sailors when they talk about their parents behind their backs. 

But this dad? He's playing the game in expert mode. He's fighting fire with fire and he's not even trying to deny who he's talking about. Now that's some major dad-level trolling right there.

So like every teenager is all like "I wanna throw a sick party for my high school buds!" And like most of them don't even bother asking their 'rents for permission. But this one kid was all like "I'm gonna be responsible and ask my dad first.

" Bad move dude. 'Cause instead of just saying no his dad was all like "Oh you wanna throw a party? How cute. Nice try kid." Ouch burn! Maybe next time just go ahead and throw the party and deal with the consequences later. YOLO amirite?

Listen up fellow parents and forget about checking up on your kids; it's time to level up and take some inspiration from this dad. He didn't just snoop around his son's phone; no he hacked it like a pro! But wait he didn't use his hacking skills to be a buzzkill and lecture his son about online safety; he went all in for the ultimate prank. 

Hats off to this dad for his creativity and patience. I mean how long did it take him to come up with the perfect Luke joke? We need to take notes from this guy!

Hey there! Listen up because I've got a juicy story for ya. So apparently not everyone knows that you should wipe your old phone clean before giving it away. Shocking I know! This one dad learned that lesson the hard way. Yikes.

And listen if you're an iPhone user don't forget to get rid of those scandalous photos lurking in your "recently deleted" folder. Trust me; you don't want to give your grandma a heart attack when she sees what you've been up to. Stay woke my friends.

We've got a teenage genius over here! Instead of giving the classic eye-roll to their parent's "Where are you?" text this kid decided to spice things up with a hilarious fib. 

I mean if this was actually true we might have a serious problem on our hands but let's give this kid some credit for creativity. We can only hope that the real reason for their whereabouts was far more exciting than this whopper of a tale.

Lemme tell ya we always thought that dad jokes were supposed to be knee-slapping puns that made us go "Oh dad you're so silly!" But this one? Oof it's a real stinker. It's like they were trying to be edgy but ended up being more awkward than a middle school dance. 

I mean c'mon keeping things in the family is one thing but this is taking it to a whole new level of TMI. Dad you've officially crossed the line from "funny" to "ewww gross.

Who says dads have a monopoly on humor? Moms can be just as wacky and unpredictable! Take this mom for example she tried to stir up some chaos with just five letters but alas her reign of joke terror was cut short by dad confiscating her phone. 

Nice try Mom but let's face it dads are the reigning kings of comedy.

Ha! It's that time in a youngin's life where they gotta start doing their own shopping. And boy oh boy did this kid's dad have a tough time finding some stinky stuff. 

But wait a minute "Sure"? What kind of name is that for deodorant? Nonetheless Pop managed to track it down. Way to go Dad!

Who doesn't love a good pun? Am I right? Well except for this poor kid in a text exchange. He was bracing himself for the pun storm but still had a sliver of hope that his dad wouldn't go there. 

Bless his sweet innocent heart. Did he really think his dad would miss out on the opportunity to make a library pun? Come on kid get with the book program!

Oh boy this kid is a mastermind when it comes to breaking bad news to their dad. Instead of just saying they flunked a test they went ahead and shared some fake news that was 100 times worse. 

Talk about preparation! I mean who cares about failing a test when you can make your dad believe you're going to be a teenage parent right? And guess what? It actually worked! This kid is a genius or maybe just a little bit evil... either way I'm impressed.

Dad jokes they're like a guilty pleasure. Some folks think they're lame but I think they're hilarious. And this dad oh man he was on fire! He hit us with a pun so obvious it was almost genius. 

And then he threw in a funny twist that had us rolling on the floor. Even though his kid didn't appreciate it we all know a classic dad joke when we hear one!

Oopsie doopsie forgetting to wish your pops a Happy Father's Day can lead to some seriously hilarious consequences. This poor kid made one teensy weensy typo and suddenly the universe was out to get them. 

But let's be real their dad's comeback was pure gold and made the typo seem like small potatoes. Talk about a major facepalm moment!

Ahoy there mateys! Remember that list we gave ye on what to buy for yourself instead of begging yer folks for it? Well it looks like this poor landlubber didn't get the message. He had the gall to ask his old man to buy him something he could have easily gotten himself. 

And let me tell ye his dad's response was harsher than a Kraken's tentacle. A simple "no" would have been kinder!

You know what's better than wasting your precious time typing boring messages? Let me tell you - automated messages! They're like your very own personal assistant but without the annoying coffee runs. And this dad he's totally crushing on them. 

But wait for it...his auto-replies have gone rogue! It's like they have a mind of their own and he's just along for the ride. And get this; he wasn't even in a meeting to begin with! Talk about a case of mistaken identity.

Alright guys we've got a classic dad situation here. This dude knows what he wants in life and it ain't no family drama or unexpected grandkids. Nope this guy's priorities are crystal clear - and they all revolve around one sweet treat: donuts! 

He's like a real-life Homer Simpson except instead of beer it's all about the doughy goodness. Can you blame him though? Donuts are pretty freaking amazing. Let's just hope that he had a fresh box waiting for him when he finally looked up from his phone!

Get ready to laugh folks! We've got some jokes on this list that are so original they'll knock your socks off. But let's be honest; there are a few that are older than Grandpa's dentures. Like this one! 

It's been around for so long even the dinosaurs were cracking up. But don't worry; this dad thinks it's still as magical as a unicorn riding a rainbow. Sure it might not be the freshest joke in the box but who needs originality when you've got a good pun?

Fellow dads! If you wanna be the coolest cat in the house you gotta learn the lingo. That means knowing all the hip slang words emojis and secret codes that those darn kids use to talk to each other. And let me tell ya once you're fluent in internet speak you're unstoppable. 

Just ask my daughter - she tried to pull a fast one on me but I was too quick for her. Ain't no foolin' this dad!

Check out this dynamic dad-daughter duo folks! They're tighter than a pair of yoga pants on a Kardashian! They spill their guts to each other more than a clumsy waiter spills drinks on a first date. 

And let's be real; they have a secret code of silence that would make the CIA jealous. Why? Because they know that if Mom found out about their shenanigans she'd flip like a pancake on a hot griddle.

Oh boy have you ever had a dad who discovers a new slang word and turns it into a broken record? He's like OMG this and OMG that and it's like he's stuck in a loop! It's so bad you feel like you need earplugs just to survive. 

But this awesome kid found a way to shut down the dad's slang attack. You see dads are like puppies; they're afraid of moms. So this kid called in the mom reinforcements to save the day!

Hey there parents; wanna play favorites with your kids but not sure how? Here's a tip - get one of them a swanky phone and leave the other in the dust. 

This dad knew what was up when he asked his son for phone advice but really just wanted to butter up his sister. Sneaky sneaky. But hey at least he's showing his love in a roundabout way right?

Let's get this straight - we all know that dad jokes can be pretty darn cringe-worthy but sometimes they cross the line into just plain gross. And let's be real; there are some things that should never be joked about - like bodily functions for example. 

But this dad? Oh boy he went there. We won't repeat it but let's just say it involved the bathroom. But hey we have to give him credit for coming up with something somewhat original.

Alright listen up because I've got the inside scoop on dad texting habits. See we dads aren't about to waste our time sifting through a million different emojis. No no no. We find one we like and we stick with it. Like this one dad I know he's all about that horse emoji. 

And I'm not just talking sometimes; I'm talking ALL. THE. TIME. It's like he thinks he's some kind of cowboy or something. But you know what? I can't really blame him. That horse emoji is pretty darn cool. So let's cut dads some slack and let them ride their emoji horses into the sunset. Yee-haw!

The whole concept of breakfast lunch and dinner foods is so last century. Time is just a figment of our imagination so why not munch on whatever you fancy whenever you fancy? This cool dad totally gets it. 

There’s never a bad time to chow down on some crispy fish fillets especially if they're still sizzling. Even if the clock strikes midnight who cares? When your dad whips up a scrumptious and piping-hot meal you just can't refuse.

We've got a new word on the block! Move over selfie because there's a new kid in town. Introducing the one and only...Pelfie! That's right; it's a selfie with your pet. Genius right? This dad deserves a medal for his linguistic creativity. 

And let's be real; we all know that our furry friends are the real stars of our photos anyway. So let's get this word added to the dictionary ASAP. Oxford are you listening? It's time to make Pelfie a household name.

Oh boy this dad really put his foot in it! He said all the things you should never say to your kids in one epic text exchange. And to top it off his poor son gave him a chance to redeem himself and he blew it like a birthday candle. 

He's probably still digging himself out of the hole he created - we suggest he bring a shovel and some snacks because it's gonna be a long journey.

Can you even call it a Thanksgiving feast if the turkey isn't hot and drool-worthy? I mean come on! This one dude was all about getting that turkey just right but his pops were about as useful as a chocolate teapot. 

Was he trying to be funny or just throwing shade because his kid was running late? Either way that poor turkey was left to suffer the consequences. #turkeydrama #thanksgivingfail

Hey hey hey! Check out these dad jokes folks! Some of them are so bad they'll make you cringe harder than a teenager with a zit. But wait there's one that's pure gold - it's like the caviar of dad jokes the holy grail of puns. It's so good; it'll have you ROFLing like a maniac. 

And get this - this dad didn't just stop at the joke; he even took a freakin' photo to go with it! Talk about dedication amirite? Now all the other dads out there better step up their game 'cause this one just raised the bar.

Ah the dreaded school run - every parent's favorite chore. And when you've got a whole gaggle of kids going to different schools? Forget about it. But this one family had a genius solution: Mom and Dad split up the pickups. 

Brilliant right? Well until dear old Dad couldn't remember which kid was his. Talk about a facepalm moment. Looks like they'll be needing a new system - or a good old-fashioned roll call.

Oh boy have we got a story for you! So imagine this: you're texting away on your phone trying to multitask like the superhero parent you are. But uh-oh you accidentally mix up the phone numbers of your kids and your wife! Chaos ensues my friend. We're talking about hilarious misunderstandings awkward conversations and maybe even a little bit of panic.

It's like a sitcom episode but with way more stress. So dads listen up: double-check those digits before hitting send or you might just end up in your own personal disaster movie. And trust us. Nobody wants that.

Haha listen up kiddos! Even if your folks are the coolest cats out there there are some things that will make them flip their lid. And if you're not careful you'll end up like this guy - the ultimate dunce who spilled the beans on everything. 

I mean come on dude did you really think telling your folks about your wild party antics was a good idea? You may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but you did manage to figure out one thing - you're grounded until the cows come home. Good luck with that!

This dad is a real party animal! Instead of being proud of his kid for studying all night he wants them to let loose and have some fun. I mean who needs good grades when you can have a wild time right? 

But let's be honest; this kid was probably already sneaking in some fun between their study sessions. This dad is just trying to take credit for their awesome social life. Don't worry Dad. We won't tell anyone your kid was already a party animal before you gave them permission.

We all know that dads mean well when they try to pump us up but sometimes their motivational speeches can be as off the mark as a blindfolded archer. 

This dad gave it his best shot but his words of wisdom were about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Let's just hope his kid didn't take his advice too seriously and ended up in a worse pickle than before.

Hey listen up peeps! If your folks are slaving away in the kitchen to make you a scrumptious meal just shut your trap and enjoy the feast. 

This one kid got too nosy and ended up getting threatened with a dose of poison in their dish. Yikes! Hopefully they kissed and made up after chowing down on some delectable food together. Lesson learned - don't mess with the chef!

Most dads are dog people and they’re ready to ignore all of their puppy’s flaws—but they don’t always treat other people’s dogs with the same kind of kindness and affection.

And this dad wasn’t impressed by his daughter’s rescue dog and he even considered never sitting on her couch again because of the dog's large body parts. Can you believe him?

We all know that some dads are just not cut out for the job. But instead of owning up to their failures they come up with the most absurd excuses to justify their suckiness. Take this one guy for example. He tried to use science to make up for his lack of dad skills! Classic. 

But hey if you ask us he's probably not as bad as he thinks. We're sure he's made his daughter laugh plenty of times. And let's be real who wouldn't crack up after reading a study like that? Keep on keepin' on dads!

Yo check out this Dad! He's not big on using emojis but when he does he slays! With just three little faces and a couple of letters he pulls off the ultimate dad joke. 

This dude is clearly into all things space-related and he totally flips the script on the classic "I love you to the moon and back" line. We gotta hand it to him; he's a straight-up comedy genius.

We all know that kids are curious little creatures but there's one thing they don't wanna know jack-squat about their parent's steamy love life. And if you don't believe me just look up TMI and you'll find this cringe-worthy text exchange. 

This dad here took things too far and scarred his kiddo for life. I bet that poor child is out there right now buying a car just to get the heck away from their folks. Can you blame 'em? Who wants to know that kind of info about their parents? Yikes!

Oh boy gender reveal parties are like the new avocado toast; everyone's doing them. But this one dad bless his heart must have been living under a rock. He thought Casey was announcing her transition so naturally he was like "You go girl!" 

But then Casey drops the bomb... she was just revealing the gender of her baby daughter. Oops talk about a mix-up! Maybe he needs a refresher course on what gender reveal really means.

Dad is at it again! He just can't resist spilling all the juicy details even when it's totally inappropriate. Hey Dad how about we talk about something a little less...personal? 

Like the latest episode of our favorite show or the best way to make a sandwich? Trust us; we don't need to know about every single little thing going on in your life. Keep it PG pops!

Teaching your parents how to use modern technology is like trying to teach a cat to bark. And when they finally figure it out they are like a bull in a china shop breaking everything in sight. 

But this dad oh boy he takes the cake! He posted a toilet selfie for the world to see! Did he not learn anything from his mother? Let's just hope he starts taking selfies in more appropriate places like the kitchen or something!

Okay so picture this: your dad the master of dad jokes decides to up his game and adds PHOTOS to the mix. You gotta hand it to him; he's taking his dad's joke game to the next level. And yeah his latest punchline might be obvious but it's still making you chuckle. 

Let's just say if you ever need a reason NOT to ask your dad to buy you an Apple Watch this joke should do the trick. Keep it up Dad!

Hey have you ever met those people who are always late no matter how many alarms they set or how fast they run? Well this kid seems to be one of them and it's driving his dad crazy! 

But don't worry this super dad has some hilarious advice to make sure they're on time for once. And hey kid instead of typing away on your phone how about running for a change? It might help you get to places faster than your 'always late' reputation.

Listen up peeps because I've got a classic dad joke for you. You know those puns that make you roll your eyes and groan? Yeah those are the best kind. And let me tell you dads are the kings of puns. They're always up for good wordplay and their kids are the lucky ones who receive their pun-filled texts. 

This dad is a pun genius a master of art and a true dad joke guru. His puns are so good you might need a dictionary to understand them. But once you do get ready to laugh so hard you might just fall off your chair. Trust me; this joke is worth it.

Ah the age-old struggle of getting a decent photo taken by your parents. It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack am I right? Unfortunately most of the time the photo ends up looking like a hot mess. But this one dad oh boy he's got a whole different approach. 

Instead of taking responsibility for his lack of photography skills he's pointing the finger at his own flesh and blood! And to top it off he even threw in a little insult. Classic dad move am I right?

So apparently for the first 18 years of your life your parents gotta do everything for you. And let me tell you some of these parents will never let you forget it! Take this one dad for example; he can’t even ask his son about his internet provider without bragging about being the main provider himself. 

I mean come on Dad give the kid some credit! But hey what do you expect from a classic dad joke? This text exchange is full of hilarious puns and "LOL" in all caps. It’s like watching a stand-up comedy routine but with your own dad. Gotta love ‘em right?

Have you ever read a text so cringe-worthy that you'd rather stare directly at the sun than have to suffer through it again? This poor kid's eyes are gonna need more than just Visine after seeing what his dad just sent him. 

Moving out of his parent's basement won't save him from the trauma of those messages. He might as well book a one-way ticket to Mars to escape his dad's wacky antics.

Alright folks listen up! Dads ain't the only ones who love cracking up with their dad jokes! Some folks might cringe at them but some of us just can't get enough. 

This poor girl got hit with a doozy of a joke from a guy on OkCupid and let me tell you it was next-level dad humor. Sadly it was a swing and a miss for him in the dating game but at least the rest of us got a good chuckle out of it!

This dad can talk the talk and walk the walk with his killer slang game. He's not just your average dad- he's a master of puns and we can't help but chuckle at his attempts to stay hip with the kiddos. 

We bow down to his commitment to being cool even if it means embarrassing his children in public.

Ha! Can you believe some people actually rely on Google or Siri to get their answers? Not dads though oh no. They'll just ask their kids for the lowdown on everything. Why waste time typing in "sloth" when you can just bug your kid about it?

Props to this little one for being a champ and sending their old man a pic of a sloth. Who needs Google when you've got a kid with a smartphone?

Ah dads! They're always cracking jokes but when it comes to candy they mean business. This dad must have either made a bet with mom or wanted to spoil his kid with their favorite sugary treats. 

Either way this dad knows a thing or two about raising a kid with impeccable taste buds. Move over Willy Wonka! We've got a candy connoisseur in the making.
