Specifics beat superlatives
"Best dad ever" is invisible. "He never said I told you so — he just fixed it" is a story in one line. Name the habit, the phrase, the thing only your dad does.
The roast is a love language
Father's Day humor outperforms sentiment for most audiences — thermostat jokes, grill rank, "ask your mother." A light roast invites comments from everyone whose dad does the same thing.
Brands: collect dad jokes, deliver gift guides
"Best dad joke wins" fills your comments; a keyword automation on DAD delivers the gift guide by DM. Two mechanics, one post — engagement and lead capture in the same caption.
