Anything daughters can do, dads can do better – and funnier.
Take these two, for example. The rather alluring image on the right was taken by the daughter, according to her brother who shared on Reddit .
It shows the young woman’s legs, partly covered by knitted knee-high socks, next to a cup of coffee which is nestled in her bedsheets.
There’s a bit of flesh on show and a laptop is visible on the bed too.
Presumably, the woman wanted to show just how warm and cozy she was – which, coincidentally, is the message written on her mug.
But when she posted it on Facebook , her old man saw an unmissable opportunity for a contender for dad joke of the year.
He posted a picture of his own, in which he reenacts his daughter’s pose.
Lying on his bed, he has his hairy legs on show, with his quite garish polka dot ankle socks pulled up just about as high as they’ll go.
Completing his fetching look is a pair of checked shorts.
And he’s looking at pictures of dogs on his laptop. Obviously.
The picture was posted on Reddit by user allthepeople alongside the caption:
“My sister posted a picture to Facebook, my Dad responded.”
It has gone viral , amassing around 885,000 views.
One viewer said: “Just sitting here in my high socks, google searching puppy pictures. Typical Saturday night. Love, Dad.”
“He didn’t show nearly enough leg,” wrote one person.
Another added: “Your dad has better socks in my opinion. could you tell him that a random stranger likes his socks? They’re pretty dope.”
However, some were more concerned about the placement of the coffee cups.
Echoing many other Reddit users, one wrote: “Can’t stop worrying those mugs will spill on the keyboards.”
