Screengrab from a video shared on Twitter by Rex Chapman.While many of us may be dismissive of ‘dad jokes’, there are some fathers who are adept at cracking hilarious jokes that often have their children at the receiving end of the punchline. And these jokes, while not very enjoyable to the children themselves, are quite a laugh riot among the onlookers. Internet users saw a hilarious example of this in a recent video that has gone viral on social media. The video shared initially on TikTok features a woman all set to take her father on her first drive in a car. The moment, which had the potential to be all things emotional and heart-warming, took an unexpected turn when the father turned up in a crash-test dummy suit.The visibly annoyed daughter stares at her dad for some time before turning the vehicle off and leaving in a huff. She even adds, “You play too much,” before stomping off. Sharing the video on Twitter, former American basketball player, Rex Chapman, wrote, “First time driving with dad and he dressed up like a crash-test dummy. Can’t stop laughing…” Mr Chapman’s post has been viewed over 1.1 million times in less than 24 hours and has also been widely shared. It has garnered over 50,000 likes since it was posted.First time driving with dad and he dressed-up like a crash-test dummy. Can’t stop laughing… pic.twitter.com/Zn4Cwx8quf— Rex Chapman????????
