Dads Falling For The ‘Olive Oil In Your Car’ Prank Is Genius-Level Trolling

There’s a reason dads are in their own category when it comes to jokes. Though a dad joke is easy to spot—you know it when you see it—it escapes easy definition. It’s a mix of silly, punny, cringey, and wholesome. It’s those cargo pants that unzip into shorts, but in the form of a joke.

It’s always great when dads’ own jokes are USED AGAINST THEM. Which is exactly what Twitter account @TheDad did when they prompted people to prank their dads by sending a picture pretending they’d used olive oil in their car instead of motor oil.
