33 Reasons Dads Are the Most Awesome Human Beings on the Planet

Let's take a moment to appreciate our favorite dad-isms this Father's Day. Dad may be embarrassing, less-than tech savvy, and a little clueless about what the kids think is cool these days, but that's kind of what makes him so endearing. Plus, you gotta give him props for trying so hard. And that overprotective nature? It's just because he doesn't want you to get your heart broken. He's always been there for us, so let's return the love with some of our favorite pop attributes illustrated by cute and funny GIFs of dads!
