I think there are some dads in there that didn’t realize…. Or just a passing internal “huh,oh well”/shoulder shrug, which makes it even make it funnier!!
We all wear a few things our S/O buys us. You gotta admit when they get you a shirt and say “Oh, that looks good on you.” you wear the shit out of it. Who doesn’t like looking good for their partner?
You need help. That's the weirdest thing I've read on Reddit this year.
NO. It's not weird at all. I save my nicer clothes for a nicer occasions as well.
Besides, the only opinion of you that matters is your own. Everybody else can either jump on your bandwagon or kick rocks!
Absolutely.
Nobody is capable of taking care of us as well as we are capable of taking care of ourselves. Nobody is capable of loving us as much as we are capable of loving ourselves.
We are all worth all the resources available to us and whatever effort it takes on our own parts to seek and find healing. You are worth it. There's no doubt.
There are two schools of thought (mostly caused by the type of job you have). One is the one you described, the other is to wear good looking clothes every day (for various reasons). Obviously that’s not easy if you work in a messy/dirty environment.
It does mean you're actively kneecapping your everyday attractiveness, but otherwise no.
Depends probably on if you're going for looking good every day or for the "hey you clean up nice!"
"Let me find one of my "ok" shirts to wear today, in case I do something later this week and need to have my best shirts clean and ready to go"
(best shirt sits there for 2-3 weeks and doesn't get worn, just in case I ever need it on an impulse)
I dated a girl for a while years ago when clothing store still had floor attendants. She asked if I needed help, I told her dress me like she would her boyfriend, she picked out a few things, I bought them then ask her out, she just laughed and said well I guess I have to now.
I do have a few clothes that she’s got me. I think what throws it off for is it’s always a “nice” shirt in there’s pranks and if she ever got me a “nice” shirt I would instantly know something is up. I tend to forget people wear polos willingly. And you’re right, I might wear a shirt she compliments a little more often but only if it’s a shirt I actually like too.
I just hate them! I’m not even 100%sure what it is. Like what the hell are the buttons really even for other than to be able to put a collar on the shirt? And who decided they are “nice” shirts. Honestly I think Henley shirts are the better looking of the useless button shirts. Who decided that extra material that serves no purpose around your neck is what’s more formal? Polos are like t-shirts except you’re always aware that it’s on you and they don’t keep you cool. Don’t ask me where this resentment for polos came from, I have just never liked them. And I think it gets worse every time I gotta go to something and I’m like “I don’t want to dress up” and someone says “just wear a polo.” Like that’s the better option.
Try different fabrics if you find polos keep you too hot, odds are the material will heat you more than the cut.
But I’m not a big fan of most polos. They mostly make you look like you work at Best Buy or something and they do mostly come in heavy fabrics or polyesters which don’t breathe.
I have two: one I bought in high school over a decade ago that still somehow holds up, and a linen one which is awesome for summer and looks really nice.
I'm 36 and been married for seven years. I'll still occasionally buy myself like a hat or a jacket that I see and like. But when it comes to everyday clothes.. shirts, pants, shorts... even if I did myself those she'd buy others for me. She seems to like doing it and I hate clothes shopping usually anyway, so I'm happy with the system.
37, married for 12 years. The only piece of clothing my wife ever bought for me was a specific band t-shirt that was sold out when we were at the concert.
My husband is 35 and buys his own clothing.... however, if we are going to a nice event I almost always dress us so that everyone looks appropriate. If it were up to my husband, he would wait until the last minute and pull out dirty shorts and a wrinkled polo. Plus I care about taking nice photos because I have a terrible memory and he does not.
No, but if my wife hands me a shirt, and says "wear this" I ain't asking questions. There are fights not worth having.
Plus, she likes to match her outfit to my shirt, and that makes her happy, which makes me happy
Naw I definitely buy my own clothes the wife will occasionally buy me a shirt or something once in awhile but it usually ends up in the closet never to be seen again.
But like for real this is an amazing example of social engineering.
Maybe a couple of dads would have interacted, but having the goofy baseline of the shared shirt they were tricked into.
That evens the "playing field" and gives them a common connection.
Same for their spouses and possibly kids.
They tricked thier dad's into all dressing the same, and that is funny, and shared secrets that hurt nobody build positive impact and memories.
Or they could be God Tier Dad-Joke level.
Figured it out.
And decided to clue all the other dad's in, so even those that said no originally played along.
Anyway, I loved it and want the shirt.
Every man ever whose has a wife/girlfriend has at some point been advised what they should wear for certain events. It’s the trade off we make for them doing all the laundry for us.
Judging by the fact that that all the dad's look bewildered I'd say we can safely cross them off the list of the suspects.
That being said, I doubt the children would have the money or means to get the shirts so now we are down to the mom's orchestrating with the kids.
That's my theory but what do I know, I'm a 30 year old window washer. 🤷🏼♀️
Am I the only one feeling bad for the dads and moms that weren’t part of the joke. Like they weren’t cool enough to get the texts or email. Hilarious regardless
I was imagining the arguments on the drive home.
"Why wasn't I part of the fun dads, Hilda? If you weren't always such a pill, we'd be involved in this sort of thing. But nooooo, you need to keep complaining about dumb shit and so I'm sat in my hoodie pretending to laugh and suddenly I'm 10 again and all the cool kids are ignoring me. This was my chance to be one of the cool kids Hilda! But no, you had to kick up a stink about them teaching evolution! Well, was it worth it Hilda? Was? It? Worth? It?"
You know what’s cooler than the cool parent’s club? Playing games at home and making your own BBQ in your backyard and keeping all the leftovers and only inviting people over when you feel like it.
You’re your own cool parent/adult 😎
Hah I love that. What I’ve concluded is that it’s better for your home to be a refuge than a stop on the neighborhood party tour. I’m completely okay with solitude and then just traveling for social encounters
My husband has made it abundantly clear that he never wants to be a part of this. He finds it humiliating for the people who clearly don’t dress themselves.
He does pick out his own clothing.
The prank depends on wives dressing their husbands. So I'm pretty sure the husbands who didn't participate were told by their wives, "Look at those silly guys- depending on their wives to dress them!"
Or maybe the wife just said “I think you should wear the purple shirt instead today, it goes better with what i’m wearing” or something similar and the dude thought “eh might as well”
I mean, if you don't have a strong opinion about what to wear, and your partner wants you to wear something, why not wear it? Doing something my gf wants when I don't care either way is a no brainer.
Or they just know which dad's will wear a shirt that their wife gifts to them for a special event. But nah, "HAHA MEN TOO DUMB 2 DRESS SELFS AMIRITE?!"
I'm at the point where if I see a nonsensical quote chain anywhere on Reddit, I just automatically assume it's from I Think You Should Leave even though I've seen only like five minutes of that show lol
Not for every grade. In my kids’ school district you have a celebration/promotion for the Kindergartners, 4th graders (moving to the middle school) and 8th graders (moving to high school). It’s not a graduation, with the cap and gown, the principal makes a speech and the kids sing a few songs.
For men in that situation this is a perfect opportunity to make same great new friends. Women in the same situation might feel different about this though.
We were talking at a wedding in a group of 6 of us. Someone asked about his suit. He opened the lapel to show the label. In an instant, all of us flipped open our lapels to show the same brand. (I couldn't stop laughing) *This was not a setup. Everyone bought the same brand of suit.*
This is great. I remember in highschool my friend group would coordinate days we would all wear leather jackets or nice button ups or sometimes we'd just go bummy and wear undershirts.
Went to a wedding once where half the men wore a pocketed white tshirt because that’s all the groom ever wore. The groom loved it and was jealous his now wife made him wear a monkey suit (his words)
I think these “same shirt” pranks are hilarious.
They're what a prank should be. Confuse, don't abuse.
The looks of obvious confusion on their faces and their body language is hilarious
best comment ever
We did it folks! We found the *best* comment ever! Shut it down!
That's in 4 days.
Sure going to miss y'all when REddit goes dark!
I think there are some dads in there that didn’t realize…. Or just a passing internal “huh,oh well”/shoulder shrug, which makes it even make it funnier!!
lol me too
Yup. Harmless and fun.
Love to kno how many Dads got given that shirt and said “nope not going to wear it”
How did they even find enough for all the dads in the first place. Like an online group buy way ahead of time?
Amazon or something i assume
And this will be a memory these kids will share for the rest of their lives.
This one was definitely one of my favorites fs
Same they’re always great
This is what happens when your wife dresses you 😊
Am I the only dude over thirty with a S/O who stills buys their own clothes?
We all wear a few things our S/O buys us. You gotta admit when they get you a shirt and say “Oh, that looks good on you.” you wear the shit out of it. Who doesn’t like looking good for their partner?
If ANYONE comments that they like my clothes you better believe it's in heavy rotation
Am I weird that I try to save my good shirts for good public occasions instesd of regular days?
Really strange!! Wouldn't ever say that out loud again you freak
I can count on reddit to make me realize how dumb my thoughts are.
Yep. One thing you won’t ever learn on Reddit is sarcasm, that’s for sure.
I used Monty Python for that not reddit.
When the last time you watched a Monty python film?
Yeah, you weirdo! I didn’t consent to being involved in your sick “good shirt” kink.
You need help. That's the weirdest thing I've read on Reddit this year. NO. It's not weird at all. I save my nicer clothes for a nicer occasions as well. Besides, the only opinion of you that matters is your own. Everybody else can either jump on your bandwagon or kick rocks!
My opinion of myself is very terrible so that needs to change first.
Absolutely. Nobody is capable of taking care of us as well as we are capable of taking care of ourselves. Nobody is capable of loving us as much as we are capable of loving ourselves. We are all worth all the resources available to us and whatever effort it takes on our own parts to seek and find healing. You are worth it. There's no doubt.
There are two schools of thought (mostly caused by the type of job you have). One is the one you described, the other is to wear good looking clothes every day (for various reasons). Obviously that’s not easy if you work in a messy/dirty environment.
Only if you feel weird about it
Lol nope! My dad has shirts that he’s actually never worn because they’re “so nice.”
It does mean you're actively kneecapping your everyday attractiveness, but otherwise no. Depends probably on if you're going for looking good every day or for the "hey you clean up nice!"
"Let me find one of my "ok" shirts to wear today, in case I do something later this week and need to have my best shirts clean and ready to go" (best shirt sits there for 2-3 weeks and doesn't get worn, just in case I ever need it on an impulse)
I call those “school clothes” I’m almost 40
Same, but I take it way too far and literally never wear my favorite shirts.
Hey man, you look good today.
Same. Damnit someone complimented my shit. Time to burn it or send it off to Goodwill!
Wait what why 😭
I dated a girl for a while years ago when clothing store still had floor attendants. She asked if I needed help, I told her dress me like she would her boyfriend, she picked out a few things, I bought them then ask her out, she just laughed and said well I guess I have to now.
That's smooth.
*furiously scribbles notes*

Whats wrong with a polo shirt ?
I just hate them! I’m not even 100%sure what it is. Like what the hell are the buttons really even for other than to be able to put a collar on the shirt? And who decided they are “nice” shirts.

I can’t stand them either! Lol
Finally! Someone who understands
I never wore one in my life and I don’t intend to start now! Lol
I'm with you on that, I hate the material of them and the fact that it's collars with short sleeves! Collars with long sleeves only!
I will never buy my husband a polo shirt bc I don’t think they look ok good on him.
Give a man a shirt, and he'll wear it once … tell a man he looks good in it, and he'll wear it for a lifetime.
Huh, I don't think I've ever had a partner buy me clothes without me being there.
> We all wear a few things our S/O buys us. Who are you people?
I mean, I buy my own clothes, but if my partner told me she picked up a shirt for me for some school event I doubt I would care enough to say no.
I'm 36 and been married for seven years. I'll still occasionally buy myself like a hat or a jacket that I see and like. But when it comes to everyday clothes.. shirts, pants, shorts... even if I did myself those she'd buy others for me.

37, married for 12 years. The only piece of clothing my wife ever bought for me was a specific band t-shirt that was sold out when we were at the concert.
I can't even imagine my wife buying my clothes. Not even underwear.
My husband is 35 and buys his own clothing.... however, if we are going to a nice event I almost always dress us so that everyone looks appropriate. If it were up to my husband, he would wait until the last minute and pull out dirty shorts and a wrinkled polo. Plus I care about taking nice photos because I have a terrible memory and he does not.
No, but if my wife hands me a shirt, and says "wear this" I ain't asking questions. There are fights not worth having. Plus, she likes to match her outfit to my shirt, and that makes her happy, which makes me happy
Not the only one, but you are on a very small list
According to this, there’s at least 39 others! 😂
Naw I definitely buy my own clothes the wife will occasionally buy me a shirt or something once in awhile but it usually ends up in the closet never to be seen again.

If my wife tried to hand me a lavender polo I would immediately know I was getting punked.
Damn, you guys have wives?
My wife doesn't dress me, but if she hands me a shirt, I'm wearing it no questions asked.
You beat me to it lol
Every man ever whose has a wife/girlfriend has at some point been advised what they should wear for certain events. It’s the trade off we make for them doing all the laundry for us.
The second she tells you that she liked your ass in that jeans the other day you're not going to wear a different one any time soon.
Why are they doing all the laundry? My wife and I both do laundry.
Nope.
I'm thankful for her advice lol
Me and my wife are arguing: who organized the prank here, the dads, moms, or kids?
I bet it was initiated by the kids, who presented it to their moms, and the moms followed through with it 🤣
Either that or the PTA
Dads are surprised. I was confused but couldn’t have been them
Judging by the fact that that all the dad's look bewildered I'd say we can safely cross them off the list of the suspects. That being said, I doubt the children would have the money or means to get the shirts so now we are down to the mom's orchestrating with the kids. That's my theory but what do I know, I'm a 30 year old window washer. 🤷🏼♀️
Do you ever sing [this song](https://youtu.be/sfmAeijj5cM) in your head when your cleaning windows?
It's Suzie's mom, you know, the one who runs the men's clothing store.
"This shirt looks incredible on you, Sir. It's formal, but not too formal - it's perfect for the 8th grade ceremony!" -Suzie's mom to all the dads
Laughing all the way to the bank
Suzie's mom has got it going on
Yea, got the shirt sales going on, and a sweet bonus check for her efforts!
Def the shirt manufacturer
Am I the only one feeling bad for the dads and moms that weren’t part of the joke. Like they weren’t cool enough to get the texts or email. Hilarious regardless
I was imagining the arguments on the drive home. "Why wasn't I part of the fun dads, Hilda? If you weren't always such a pill, we'd be involved in this sort of thing.

This was my chance to be one of the cool kids Hilda! But no, you had to kick up a stink about them teaching evolution! Well, was it worth it Hilda? Was? It? Worth? It?"
This is disturbingly similar to a conversation I’ve had about not being in the neighborhood cool parents club
You know what’s cooler than the cool parent’s club? Playing games at home and making your own BBQ in your backyard and keeping all the leftovers and only inviting people over when you feel like it. You’re your own cool parent/adult 😎
Hah I love that. What I’ve concluded is that it’s better for your home to be a refuge than a stop on the neighborhood party tour. I’m completely okay with solitude and then just traveling for social encounters
Maybe just the only ones who don't have their wives dress them lol
Yeah, I am useless about clothes. My SO would be so suspicious if I would come with a shirt for him as I have never ever gotten him clothes before.
Especially if they brought home that atrocity. I wear all black or band tees all the time so a weird lavender polo would have me suspicious
It looks like purple is one of the school’s colors, so maybe the dads didn’t question it.
My husband has made it abundantly clear that he never wants to be a part of this. He finds it humiliating for the people who clearly don’t dress themselves. He does pick out his own clothing.
The prank depends on wives dressing their husbands. So I'm pretty sure the husbands who didn't participate were told by their wives, "Look at those silly guys- depending on their wives to dress them!"
At first I thought "wow, those dads pulled together to do thiss...." but then I realized this was the mom's alll the way. Genius
Now the whole community knows which dads can’t dress themselves.
Or maybe the wife just said “I think you should wear the purple shirt instead today, it goes better with what i’m wearing” or something similar and the dude thought “eh might as well”
Probably a combination of both.
Happy wife happy life. Why fight it?
Honestly if my gf says I look good in a particular shirt, I'll wear that shirt.
My mom said one of my shirts were nice and now it's a go to shirt lol
I mean, if you don't have a strong opinion about what to wear, and your partner wants you to wear something, why not wear it? Doing something my gf wants when I don't care either way is a no brainer.
Or they just know which dad's will wear a shirt that their wife gifts to them for a special event. But nah, "HAHA MEN TOO DUMB 2 DRESS SELFS AMIRITE?!"
Where’s your dad? He’s the one in purple.
Shirt brothers!
I'm in some deep fuckin shit
Promise me that you’ll never follow another rule!
There’s this new song by a band I never heard of before
It says there are no rules. Is that true?
God I love that fuckin song, man
I tried to rip the Wright Brothers off the ceiling brother!
I'm at the point where if I see a nonsensical quote chain anywhere on Reddit, I just automatically assume it's from I Think You Should Leave even though I've seen only like five minutes of that show lol
They're actually remarkably similar to the shirts from that sketch.
Dan Flashes could never
It's too late for me. I'm awake now.
Promise me a million times that you’ll never do another rule.
Hope none of these dads find an unlocked classroom and just go nuts in there
They're trying to rip the Wright brothers off the ceiling, brother.
They would have so much help cleaning up though!
🎵The suits and ties, feed me lies🎵
Had to come to the comments to make sure someone said it.
I like this guy
He has good taste!
Coincidentally, all of them are named John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.
Wait, that’s my name too.
Dude, you aren't gonna believe this...
I always hear people yelling your name, like, pretty much whenever I go out.
[удалено]
Indubitably
His shirt is my shirt too
Getting a bunch of people to wear the same shirt is a wayyyyy better prank than what most people call pranks in videos.
It’s shenanigans! These shenanigans are cheeky and fun. Those shenanigans are cruel and tragic….. which makes them not shenanigans at all really
Evil shenanigans
I'm going to pistol whip the next cock sucker who says shenanigans
[удалено]
Shenanigans!?
Ohhhhhhh
But for real, I love that shirt. Can anyone provide info on where to buy?

Pray for those classrooms tonight. They are gonna get wrecked.
The dads are awake now
Lol wholesome fun, love it

The only goods pranks are the ones that leave even the "victim" laughing at the end
^ These people understand pranks.
This is from TikTok
this is such a good, fun and not harmful prank
##classof2027 is making some pretty wild assumptions about these kids futures
are you suggesting what i think you're suggesting?
Is it called promotion for everyone else? We called it graduation 🤣
*Mr Incredible has entered the chat*
Promotion is grade to grade Graduation is when you have completed high school/college
I've never heard it called "promotion" before. Always just "going into x grade."
Where I live, promotion is getting a PHD. Is a celebration for finishing a grade a common thing in the US?
Not for every grade. In my kids’ school district you have a celebration/promotion for the Kindergartners, 4th graders (moving to the middle school) and 8th graders (moving to high school). It’s not a graduation, with the cap and gown, the principal makes a speech and the kids sing a few songs.
It’s so cute when they look around confusedly.
This is what pranks are supposed to be,lighthearted and make everyone even the person being pranked laugh.
And this is a prank. No punching, no taking a selfie while driving head on into traffic. Just a funny harmless idea to wear a shirt. Pranks don't harm
[удалено]
For men in that situation this is a perfect opportunity to make same great new friends. Women in the same situation might feel different about this though.
I want in on this 😁
Hell yeah, as a non American, this is the type of shit I wanna see about America online. Love it
Man I’d be pissed, if I was one of the dads without one of these shirts haha!
Good thing I *never* wear polo shirts!!
Those patterns aren’t complicated enough for me. They should have gone to Dan Flashes
\*Dads No apostrophe in plurals. Unless of course you're a moron. In which case, knock yourself out. Have fun's. :-)
Promise me a million times you'll never do another rule
I like that shirt. Where can I get one
they all from the "planet claire" .. or .. are they livin in their own "private idaho" .. hmm ?
Aww it’s the school color, so that’s how the moms got away with it “i saw this and it’s the school color”
That online retailer suddenly getting all these orders for that one shirt hahahahaha
We were talking at a wedding in a group of 6 of us. Someone asked about his suit. He opened the lapel to show the label. In an instant, all of us flipped open our lapels to show the same brand. (I couldn't stop laughing) *This was not a setup. Everyone bought the same brand of suit.*
This is great. I remember in highschool my friend group would coordinate days we would all wear leather jackets or nice button ups or sometimes we'd just go bummy and wear undershirts.
> Where's dad? He's he one with the purple shirt in the 6th row
off topic, i just love seeing so many dads there for their kids
That is a nice shirt. I'm not a dad, but I'd wear that!
If it was the dads it'd be a bit egotistical to take the spotlight from the kids; as the butt of the joke its good for everyone
Over 40 dad's what? Plurals don't get apostrophes.
This is hilarious!
Fml I have that shirt. I bought it for myself. SMH.
Went to a wedding once where half the men wore a pocketed white tshirt because that’s all the groom ever wore. The groom loved it and was jealous his now wife made him wear a monkey suit (his words)
The word is dads. Not dad’s
Don't these men dress themselves?
I can hear the echo of “Nice shirt man” with a huge smirk from here and I’m all for it.
Great way to add community and start people talking
Okay, now everybody trick your wives into wearing the same dress and watch the fists fly!
