Home movies have evolved since the days of Panama hat-wearing patriarchs milling about the backyard, holding a Super 8 or shoulder-mounted camcorder, shouting at the children to "wave to the camera!" (only to have those images disappear into a closet to gather dust for decades). Now, with the help of YouTube, these moments can go from minivan to majorly viral in 30 minutes or less. In honor of Father's Day, we found some of the funniest examples of fathering available on the Web. And we've asked two of NEWSWEEK's (fairly) new fathers--Tony Dokoupil (dad to 11-month-old Oliver) and Andrew Bast (dad to 20-month-old Alexandra)--to add their commentary below the clips. We welcome your thoughts, other dads of the Internet, in the comments below.
