Dad Jokes Strike Again: When a Compliment Goes Awry

Introducing friends to parents can be a nerve-wracking experience, but it’s even worse when a dad joke ruins the moment. For one girl, her dad’s response to a friend’s compliment was not what she was expecting. While it’s unclear what the social dynamic was between the three, it’s clear that the dad’s comment was a bit mean and uncalled for.

In the end, it’s a humorous addition to the #ThatWasCold hashtag that shows the ups and downs of social interactions and the power of a well-timed dad joke. But it’s also a reminder to think before speaking and to be mindful of others’ feelings, even when trying to be funny.
