17 Funny Father's Day Quotes To Get Dad Laughing

Sunday is officially the Day of the Dads, but who says we can’t celebrate Father's Day aaaaaaaall weekend? Nobody! We can and we will, so I want to make sure we get the party started right — with funny Father’s Day quotes that will have you ROFLing in honor of dear old dad.

To be honest, it's a sad year for funny quotes about Father's Day. If you look through the archives, you'll find that many a famous dad, especially those prone to a humorous pontification about fatherhood (I'm looking at you, Puddin' Man!), has been indicted by the court of public opinion, and had (or should have) their cutesy little sayings removed from general circulation.

But we're going to get through this dark time in American comedy, and though the list of eligible quoters has dwindled slightly, let’s just be thankful I’ve left these to the professionals. If you are anywhere near your father this weekend, even as close as a weak cell phone reception connecting thousands of miles between you, you’ll be quickly reminded of how much amateur dads love dad jokes (and Hawaiian shirts whyyyyy?)… and ain’t nobody want to be reminded of that!

So without further ado, I present 17 hilarious quotes about dads from some of our favorite fathers and sons. Happy Father’s Day, everyone!
