With Father's Day right around the corner Jimmy Fallon decided to start up a Twitter thread that has people sharing the very best and absolute worst advice that they ever received from their dads. Even when the intentions are pure, sometimes the advice ends up being anything but good. Maybe some of these dads were just kidding around. You know, like they could've been telling their own kinds of dad jokes that just ended up completely missing their mark. Speaking of dad jokes, check out these punny dad jokes that outpunned themselves.

Not 4 months, 4 weeks or 4 days before, 4 Hours before. All the out of country guests were already there. Too chicken to back out. Should've listened to Dad. #DadAdvise

    Font - Sarah @LLSHMDfn2 Replying to @jimmyfallon My dad once told me that my check book would be much more balanced if I didn't count the cents because cents don't matter. He went to show me what he meant and that's when he found out that he was $400 off. Yeah... don't think that works, dad. #Dadvice
