Poor Dad. He tries so hard to get it right, but it seems sometimes he just canÂ’t help making us cringe!

New research from Clinton Cards has revealed the top things that Dad does to embarrass us.

Top of the shame parade is telling bad jokes; with 43 per cent agreeing their Dad has shown us up with his not-so-funny lines.

While not all Dads are that embarrassing, other ways our DadÂ’s have shown us up include telling stories from our childhood, dodgy dancing, dressing badly and wearing socks and sandals.

Yet despite him making us cringe, when it comes down to it, it seems we really do love our Dads, with two thirds of us agreeing we wouldnÂ’t change him at all.

Nearly half of us think he doesnÂ’t even realise heÂ’s being embarrassing, one in five think itÂ’s funny and the same number think heÂ’s just being silly.
