Dad memes are having a moment again, and honestly, it makes sense. The world is stressful, your back hurts for no reason, and a well-timed dad joke feels like cheap medicine. Rodney Lacroix has that indelible dad-humor superpower: he says what every parent is thinking, but with the confidence of a man who just checked the thermostat and declared it “too cold.”

If you came for funny parenting tweets and stayed for the groans, welcome.

This one’s for the dads… and the people trapped listening to them.

Dad Memes With Rodney Lacroix-Level Dad Joke Precision

Some dad memes are simple observations that shouldn’t be funny, but are. Like it being so cold that teens at the bus stop finally put on pants. That’s not weather reporting. That’s a cultural event. When the gym shorts disappear, you know the forecast is serious.

Then there’s the washing machine search spiral, which is basically a documentary of every DIY attempt ever: confidence → tutorial → parts list → bargaining → “cheap washing machine near me.” Funny parenting tweets often land because they’re just true with better punctuation.

The Duolingo one is also a classic dad-logic moment. You’re headed to Paris and somehow you’ve learned to say “I am a cat,” which will be deeply useful if you get separated from your family and need to rebrand quickly. Language apps love chaos. Dads love being prepared in the wrong direction. And they love dad memes.

And the doctor conversation about blood pressure? That’s what dads do: provide context. “Sure it’s high, doc, but have you tried having a teen driver and college tuition at the same time?” He’s not asking for treatment. He’s asking for acknowledgement.

Rodney’s sushi tweet is another great one because it’s the kind of parenting win that becomes a financial loss. You successfully raised adventurous eaters… and now dinner is $150. Congratulations, you played yourself.

The printer rant is the one that unites all generations. “I’m printing black.” “You need magenta.” This is why dad memes exist—because printers are a scam and dads have been yelling about it since the invention of ink. If you’ve ever tried to print something at 10 p.m., you already know how this ends.

And the stepson losing seventeen sweatshirts two weeks into a relationship? That’s not losing. That’s redistribution. Hoodies migrate. It’s science. Funny parenting tweets just document the ecosystem.

Rodney’s “practice talking to rocks” parenting tip should honestly be in a handbook. Toddlers and teenagers have different methods, but the listening results are similar.
