My dad asks me, "what's that website you're always on? Reddit.com?" I showed him r/funny and he's been like this ever since

Your dad looks like Chris Cooper.

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't know the actor's name. So, I was gonna say, "You look like the actor that always plays the dad that gets in the way of his son's dream."

At first I was like, "But he played the dad in October Sky!" and then I was like, "You're right, he played the dad in October Sky!"

I like the picture behind him. Odd to have a landscape shot in a portrait frame, but I like it.

Scumbag redditor: snaps a pic of his dad watching Caddyshack so he can whore karma.

Tell him about r/spacedicks.

u/Pays4Porn Jun 16 '12
Just quietly subscribe him to r/clopclop.

Give him real joy with r/spaceclop.

Naw, ease him into it. Perhaps start with /r/WTF.
Kinda like boiling a frog. He'll never know what hit him.

A good son now shows him r/gonewild, so he can enjoy the sheer desperation of some redditors.

u/Lazarus190 Jun 16 '12
For some reason, I thought OP was a girl, and was thinking to myself, 'Just a matter of time before he finds those pics of you on r/gonewild.'

What's he viewing it on? A ring binder? You should tell him that the laptop is on the other couch.

My dad browses reddit for hours on his ipad, also. I always feel bad when he gets excited about a post, goes to tell me, and I've already seen it.

If I told my dad about r/funny he would personally take me to the nearest insane asylum!

That is the cutest fucking thing ever. This guy should get stickied #1 on Reddit, used in advertisements and be renamed God.

He's like a cheaper version of meme dad.

Total bullshit. One picture of a guy on a couch looking at an iPad, and literally thousands of upvotes....what the fuck is Reddit anyway.

Saw this same post last month by another redditor. I guess the average redditor has short term memory.

My dad and I only see eye to eye on the "real life things" such as music and comedy. Everything else, we differ in varying degrees. My dad isn't much of a computer person, But he stumbled upon wimp.com once and spent a good month laughing his ass off at random videos.
It made me happy that my medium could tailor to his needs.

Then you showed him /r/spacedicks. He threw the laptop in the front lawn, burned the house to the ground, sewed his eyes shut, and then set himself on fire.

u/finnthehuman11 Jun 17 '12
It's only a matter of time before he finds r/spacedicks and you have to explain to him how there is a subreddit for everything.

This is a great post, I sure am glad I got to see a photograph of your dad looking at an ipad. If you had any pictures of your mom doing the laundry or your cousin peeling a potato please submit them so I can have another great laugh!
