Britain's favourite ‘dadisms' from pretending their not asleep to repeating the same joke, survey reveals
THE nations favourite 'Dadisms' have been revealed – with pretending they're not asleep, just 'resting their eyes', telling the same story multiple times, and of course, dad dancing featuring on the list. A poll of 2,000 adults found that while Brits love to moan about their dads' cringey behaviour, three quarters wouldn't choose to change them if they could. Advertisement 1 The nation's favourite 'Dadisms' have been revealed in a new survey Credit: Getty Other favourites include fixing things around the house, telling corny jokes, and having a favourite chair that no one else is allowed to sit in. Falling asleep on the sofa, saying 'back in my day…' or 'when I was your age…', and complaining about the cost of things all also got a shoutout on the list. Despite this tendency for Dadisms, three quarters (76 per cent) claimed they don't find this behaviour embarrassing and prefer to humour their fathers – with 62 per cent likely to laugh at their jokes even when they're not funny. This may be because 85 per cent partake in Dadisms themselves – with the most common including complaining about the cost of things (28 per cent), falling asleep on the sofa (25 per cent), and sending the thumbs up emoji (17 per cent). Advertisement read more in news A spokesperson from 'And they seem to have so many universal behaviours, as if they've been given a manual on what makes a dad a dad. 'This Father's Day we want to celebrate all father figures and the little quirks that make us love them so much.' The other ingredients that make up a classic father figure were also revealed, with top traits identified as hardworking, caring, supportive, and reliable. Advertisement Most read in The Sun Dad-centric hobbies included watching football, gardening, and DIY – as well as travelling, reading, and going to the pub with his mates. And the possessions most treasured by any fatherly figure are likely to be his car (24 per cent), toolbox (17 per cent), and family photographs (24 per cent), according to data. Home Bargains launches Father's Day gifts in store & there's a £5.99 present shoppers are already snapping up When asked, a higher percentage of those polled also claimed to find them unintentionally funny (25 per cent) rather than intentionally hilarious (17 per cent). And, on average, a dad will only know 35 per cent of their kids' friends' names – with eight per cent not knowing any of them at all. Advertisement To celebrate the father figures in their lives, 73 per cent will celebrate Father's Day every year – and to commemorate this day, are most likely to buy him a gift (62 per cent), a card (61 per cent), and go out for a meal (30 per cent). The top factors that influence selecting the perfect card were also identified as humour (50 per cent), a fun and personal design (31 per cent), and a sentimental message about how great he is (30 per cent). Interestingly, more than half (54 per cent) claimed they are more likely to buy a humorous card to celebrate their dad on Father's Day than their mum on Mother's Day – perhaps because 73 per cent hope to see their favourite Dadisms referenced on the cover. Moonpig's spokesperson added: 'Our father figures can be such a source of inspiration, support, and laughter – which is why it's so important to celebrate them every chance we get. Advertisement 'A heartfelt message, inside joke, or personalised reference to the things they love on their Father's Day card can make all the difference to letting them know how much you care.
