Heartwarming and Hilarious Father’s Day Card Fails
As Father’s Day approaches, many children take the opportunity to express their love and appreciation for their fathers through cards. However, some of these heartfelt gestures may not always go as planned, resulting in amusing card fails.
A Reddit user shared a humorous anecdote about their son’s first attempt to purchase a Father’s Day card independently. The message read, “You’re like a father to me. Happy Father’s Day,” which certainly gives way to a chuckle.
In another instance, a father received a card designed by his nine-year-old son. The card’s front was filled with a light-hearted joke, but the surprise awaited inside. The inside message proclaimed, “Never stop the killing,” referencing the popular video game, Borderlands. This mix of innocence and dark humor certainly caught the father off guard.
Another card fail occurred when a message meant for a mother was unintentionally directed at the father. The effort to obscure this mix-up provided an amusing twist that resonated well with the dad who appreciated the humor in it.
One child crafted an unconventional Father’s Day poem, echoing the familiar lines of the 1590 poem by Sir Edmund Spenser. The child substituted a key phrase with a Harry Potter reference, stating, “Avada Kedavra (the Harry Potter killing curse). I love you.” The accompanying doodle portrayed a comedic design of the father, which added to the hilarity.
In a different creative attempt, a child wrote, “I wish you will have a peaceful life before you die,” on the inside of a card. While the wording may have sounded a bit grim, it was surely intended as a light-hearted gesture.
Additionally, one father received a card with the wish, “I hope your day is full of dread.” Although it might sound alarming, this statement was a playful nod to a popular computer game that the father frequently plays.
Lastly, a father reminisced about a card he made as a five-year-old. The nostalgic sentiment was somewhat overshadowed by the comically unsettling googly-eyed dog illustration that accompanied the message.
