25 Dad Memes to Scroll Through While You Man the Grill at the Family Cook Out (July 18, 2025)

Happy mid July, everyone! Some people really, really hate summer. This is completely understandable; depending on where you live, there are usually more negatives than positives that come with the season. Kids love it because they get a nice, long break from school; parents dread it for the same reason. Mosquitos reign supreme in back yards, and no amount of Off! spray or cintronella-cented candles seem to keep them at bay. When the heat and humidity are at their peak, stepping outside can feel like trying to exist in the mouth of a fevered dog.

Dads know that summer is the best season for one reason and one reason alone: the grill. Yes, you might have to entertain the kids by forcing them to help you with yard work, but they're always grateful after you whip up some burgers and hotdogs for dinner. Whether you like to take is slow and smoke your meats or you're trying your hand at Korean BBQ this year, scroll down for memes to look through while you're waiting for the perfect char.

Dads will watch anything on a screen that they were not invited to: Dragon Ball, Love Island, Vampire diaires – it really doesn't matter.
