In the age of social media, parenting has taken on new dimensions of humor and embarrassment, as one father is proving with his viral antics. Meet Jake Thompson, a 47-year-old dad, who is gaining popularity online by playfully mimicking his teenage daughter, Emily, and her collection of selfies.
Emily, 19, like many teens today, frequently shares selfies that often lean toward the more glamorous side. Instead of discouraging her from posting, Jake decided to join in on the fun by recreating her photos with his own silly twists. His side-by-side comparisons have taken Twitter and Instagram by storm, earning him the affectionate title of “Selfie Dad.”
Jake shared with UsWeekly how this light-hearted project became something more significant. “It’s been a riot! Some people think I’m being a jerk, but they don’t understand our family dynamic. We’ve always had this playful banter among us,” he explained. Those critics clearly haven’t seen his hilarious renditions, which are nothing short of comedic masterpieces.
Emily even tweeted, “MY DAD IS HARASSING ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA,” alongside a photo of Jake donning a flower crown, mimicking her Snapchat-filtered selfie. However, she clarified that her dad’s antics are all in good fun, saying, “My dad is the family comedian, so when he did those pictures, it was a huge laugh. The best reactions come from my friends, who wish their parents weren’t tech-savvy enough to join in on the fun like mine.”
While capturing that flower crown selfie, Jake humorously recounted a minor mishap: “I didn’t realize the branch I was using had tiny bugs on it. As I was trying to take the photo, I was itching like crazy! I guess all artists must endure some pain for their craft.”
But he didn’t stop there. Jake has also experimented with eyeliner, sported crop tops, and even drawn outrageous tattoos on his stomach with a Sharpie—all in the name of teasing his daughter. Despite the potential annoyance of being trolled by a parent, this father-daughter duo seems to be reveling in the hilarity of it all.
So, Cassie, keep those selfies coming! Not only do we enjoy your lovely photos, but we also can’t wait to see more of your dad’s outrageous Sharpie creations.
