This 'Frozen'-free lip-sync video that features the coolest ever father-daughter duo knocking out Iggy's Fancy is a breath of freshness amidst the Internet full of otherwise boring 'Frozen' lip-sync videos of parents
Radio DJ Jesse Lozano enlisted his young daughter to help him lip-sync to the Australian’s catchy rap song ‘Fancy.’ Not only does this dad score major points for even being familiar with recent pop music, but those points are doubled by his very accurate rap-along to Iggy’s speedy verses. Triple points for their in-sync choreo and the daughter’s snazzy snapback. All in all, this video and dad are total wins. Even Iggy loved it!
This "metal-hand" stay-at-home dad, who told the Internet-trolls to "suck it" because "dad life is metal"
Brian Reda is a photographer and stay-at-home dad. He posted a photo on Reddit, and his hardcore hand gesture was met with some backlash. In response, he uploaded even more photos. “Some people put up quite the stink about the “metal hand” in the picture of my son at the zoo,” he wrote. “I’m a stay-at-home dad and [this is] the way I’ve chosen to document our life together. So suck it. Dad life is metal.”
Will wanted to teach his sons about engineering, physics and of course—fun! So he decided to build a DIY roller coaster in his backyard as a science challenge.
After about a year of planning and building, the Pemble family now has a 180-foot-long, fully-functioning roller coaster, made of PVC pipes and wood, on their lot. According to Will Pemble, the roller coaster took the father-and-son team a total of 300 hours to build and cost roughly $3,500 in materials.

This DreamWorks animator dad who turned his 3-year-old son into a lightsaber-wielding, telekinesis-mastering pyromaniac on YouTube
Daniel Hashimoto, a DreamWorks animator based in Los Angeles, used his skills to turn his son into a superhero with unfathomably cool powers and gadgets in a series of videos called Action Movie Kid. "I made them mostly because he is really funny and imaginative," Hashimoto told the Daily News. "James doesn't watch TV or movies very much. We play tons of games with him throughout the day."
This father who owns a Batman mask which has transformed him into a BatDad. And using his new found powers of amusement, the BatDad has turned into a superhero his kids both need and deserve.
The most mundane request takes on a dark tone when delivered in the gruff, no-nonsense voice of BatDad. The Caped Crusader and father of four (whose secret — and real — identity is Blake Wilson) is ready to turn any situation into an intense situation. But BatDad's dead-on Christian-Bale-as-Batman is only half of what makes his videos so great. The other half is made up of the reactions he earns from his wife and kids, which generally range from startled to annoyed to oh-well-this-is-how-we-live-now casual.

And if you're not living under a rock, then you must remember Dave Engledow, the self-proclaimed "World's Best Father," who has been taking a series of witty, hilarious portraits of himself and his daughter for years.
In 2011, photographer Dave Engledow, a self-proclaimed “clueless” first-time father, began staging hilarious portraits with his baby, Alice Bee (now 3 years old), and posting them online. Soon, the daddy-daughter duo became internet stars. He’s now back with a new book and a handful of incredible new pictures of him and his 3-year-old, Alice Bee. And his portraits of family life are just as amazing as ever. The 43-year-old married dad has been capturing life with Alice since she was about 6 weeks old. “When I first started, the idea was that I just kind of wanted to make fun of myself because I was feeling incredibly exhausted and sleep-deprived,” Engledow told BuzzFeed, “so I wanted to capture just how clueless and sleepy I felt.”
