Sure, a parent’s main duty may be raising, protecting and supporting their children. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun while you’re at it.
Plenty of parents find time to take a little break from the serious work to pull a little prank or simply show off their shining sense of humor. And you don’t have to have a little one to appreciate their universal goofiness.
Here are a handful of hilarious parents who show it off.
These parents are embracing social media old-school style with a physical selfie.

Looks like they used the “Polaroid Instant” filter — or maybe that’s Instagram’s Nashville, it’s hard to tell.
This dad got stuck inside the toilet.

If this doesn’t deserve a “like,” we don’t know what does.
This son learned a valuable lesson not to ask his dad to bring his forgotten stuff to school.

When it comes from your parents, it never gets old.

And his kid probably is now, too.
This dad let his kid’s room really go to the dogs.

They even included pictures in photo albums. That deserves some sort of award, right?
When this son moved out of the house, he was immediately replaced by the dog.

And, let’s face it, this is way cuter than human baby picture.
After his daughter had a nightmare about her dad getting stuck in the computer, he made it a (sort of) reality.
![dad screen](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/dad-screen/2n5FFg7OSpZ2sqmCH53dGuhKKNU=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/50/91/509170cfc4b84ea2a375a22a07f4309b.png)
Consider it making your daughter’s dreams come true.

Surprise, it's Shia LaBeouf.
Wow, mom packed a fortune cookie in my school lunch box. But wait...
![Fortune Cookie](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/fortune-cookie/z9f_URjQsjrA5abXX6Hnh4y8uQQ=/595x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/33/f6/33f6477a21f24c86b00f3036f1f2a31a.png)
The fortune you seek is in another cookie.
Dad had a note ready for when his daughter left him in a car.
![car joke](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/car-joke/ALgYKzXsD3kuXRKETLbilP-3y1Q=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/2a/23/2a231f5a0ee14a76bb721e75cace3b6d.png)
Call the authorities, this man needs a job in comedy at once!
This parent had these block letters spell out the truth.
![blocks](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/blocks/ode_wbyLno7K0gp3hEZwvcX96HY=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/89/cd/89cddbc52eaa46dba95c59bd6ce962e6.png)

And made true on that promise very quickly to make it clear he wasn’t joking around.
These parents put their kid’s car on the market.
![used car](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/used-car/bfn-3GMHaTxqE1EA0iESz8VUGFc=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/b9/0b/b90b1f3c390346019dba79a6022ee2ca.png)
This is one used car salesman I’d be happy to negotiate with.
Their ungrateful son kept asking for gifts, so these parents got creative.
![Gift Wrap](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/gift-wrap/b0-NkKc1DZi4Zzg6rcoVH7OFKNc=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/7b/89/7b89d6392e434933bef69599bd8c9937.png)
Every single thing in this room is a 'gift' paid for by Mom and Dad. You're welcome.

Cruel but effective...

Surprisingly, it works!
Even the eggs have eyes...
![Googly Eyes](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/googly-eyes/BhzWyv9DwG51npwlZB9WZAQRn_o=/600x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/d8/dc/d8dc1c9ae343406d8e3edbd0ca433192.jpg)
Is it cute, or is it creepy? Maybe both.
This dad spooked his daughters, big-time.
![Spider on the loose](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/spider-on-the-loose/eEM8nCqEX4Xw1Ty-xlxYGmmFWM4=/539x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/b7/0d/b70d4219397b41768ac48360f222bbb5.jpg)
Arachnophobia is the oldest and most common phobia in Western culture — perhaps because of pranks like this one.

Maybe this picture will make somebody die ... from laughter.
This mom claimed to be out of frames for her son’s senior picture.
![](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/img/uUZYkISqe7ZCZKbdjLgLujAELbY=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/68/a1/68a1fe3b1ff649589860ecbfcede3f1f.png)

Forget the speed limit, the parent limit is obvious here.
It doesn’t get more “protective daddy” than this.
![](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/img/ULl8lVKTra3n_Lyg-sWYPJJevR8=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/48/a3/48a3f83fd848432da655f2e0424db7a8.png)
With puns for days.
And this protective dad even made his daughter a custom shirt.
![](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/img/r1MXs-ypLjQXZU4CUvN7BclOsoI=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/95/e6/95e669170f8446688d7df2279debf0cf.png)

Let’s just hope the rug smells better than Mr. Hankey.
This mom’s photo placement is perfect.
![photo](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/photo/crkIifMA3SsEyaxq1Kh7giAJPRM=/640x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/be/94/be94c9e5f67e41a0a153ded244b8a63a.png)

And they're eerily similar.
This dad wanted to make sure his daughter looked like him.
![look alike](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/look-alike/JhrDj7Q7DYGHhv0f38hM6hIxEvw=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/d9/71/d971c762345743db9224e6ba9c7f0a63.png)

Not sure if this did the trick though...
Oh, this poor kid.
![kid](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/kid/KNkBgKzxhVpx8OJH9X8yohKSjyg=/680x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/d3/0e/d30e98140039444089382a4a94fe7fda.jpeg)
Why’s he so scared of the color, pink?

Winter is ... not coming, actually! Spring is.
All parents can relate to this.
![parents](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/parents/TokoQzqq7kZIgVYDE4LTsodIkpM=/640x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/3e/d8/3ed8aca60698417ea51cbb4544e4de6b.jpeg)
Even Julia Roberts’ character from “Notting Hill.”
This mom wishes it were safe to just say 'no.'
![debate](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/debate/YqPnLxZRvWwUT-wlyNz5dnlieTw=/680x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/c6/bd/c6bd5d16460d4ce686af8045d96c9d68.jpeg)
But dad may disagree.
When will they learn?
![learn](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/learn/Qz0uXFZNlFkh5nEDjJE5CMXwLg8=/564x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/a6/93/a6935afadb3f4036b970128c80c281ec.jpeg)
Maybe it’s a matter of putting onion in their shoes?
Babies look super cute.
![time bomb](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/time-bomb/eR64wvbefx6REGNxjnDzjMac_iQ=/625x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/12/da/12da859d9da1402f9ff8a855a7bf6bd5.jpeg)
But they definitely act like ticking time bombs about to detonate.
This mom was definitely onto something.
![toy jail](https://thumbor.bigedition.com/toy-jail/G4f-rbDqUUyF0O95ov9tsEOx9q4=/800x0/filters:quality(80)/granite-web-prod/72/30/723035d481474f95b1ce4624463ec13c.jpeg)

And her child makes the perfect model!
Stay-at-home dads definitely have us fooled.

Even themselves apparently.
This mom speaks the truth.

And is another one who loves "Notting Hill" references.
If Sleeping Beauty had kids...
