Yeah, honestly you want something you can remember. A thoughtful quote is more like, oh okay.. but something funny like dinosaurs eating pizza. Priceless.
My aunt got my mom [this card](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/28/22/cb/2822cb2698c21346719699b52677191b.jpg) like 15 years ago, we still laugh about it today.
The first year after mom Mom died, I picked out a "serious" card like the one on the left. The letter I wrote him inside was heartfelt about how much I loved him and depended on him even more now. Sure, I could have done the same in the Pizza one, but a serious, heartfelt one seemed a better choice that year, and every year after.
I totally get how the fun cards are great, not knocking those at all. But I learned the hard way that Father's Day was an opportunity to get serious and truly tell my dad how much he meant to me.
Something to think about when picking out cards.
I always pick cards like the left for my mom, but I also know she really likes them and I always take time to find one that says what I want to say. I think she'd be legitimately disappointed if I got her a joke card lol
Also a dad. The Dino one would get hung on the wall or put somewhere out in the open, and I would look at often. The other card would go back in the envelope and proceed to live in a drawer.
It'd be like getting kicked in the face, but instead of being kicked in the face, it's being told you're boring and handed the most bland card imaginable and then that they could've gotten a good humorous card, but didn't. It's an offense against all dads!
Bigtime. Then I realize I can't throw them away at work, either.
I have a manilla folder in my desk of everything from cards, to pictures, to notes, from my kids. Probably a few years worth.
It keeps me focused.
really? Do your kids just sign their name or do they write something heartfelt inside? (I'm assuming your kids would be old enough to possibly pick the one on the left.)
I'm annoyed anytime I have to buy a card for my wife, because of this. The choices are either:
"I'm forever thankful The Lord has placed this woman of God in my life, to share eternity with."
Or, "Thx for marrying me, even though I fart a lot." *Card farts*
Absolutely. I would actually be upset if I got the left from my kid knowing he had the right as an option
Being more serious, the left has serious "I was obligated to so this so here's a premade and completely impersonal message" vibes
The right is more like "hey I genuinely like you and hope this makes you laugh like I did"
Honestly why I find it worth it to shop at Dollar Tree or places like Trader Joe’s for holiday/occasion cards. Cards should really not exceed $1 unless it is a special occasion, or like in this case where the card is too good to pass up
As a dad, I like handwritten cards on folded construction paper or printer paper. Frugal and made by the people I love is always way better than some store bought drivel. I keep all of my kids handmade cards. They really do make me happy.
Agreed. Last year, after my ex-wife got a new boyfriend, my 14-year old got me a card celebrating his two dads. I couldn’t stop laughing - best card I ever got.
Exactly! That’s the kind of stuff you write or tell them yourself. Printed on a card it’s tacky.
Also, spinosaurus. Do they make any of these for moms? I want one.
What is the tough choice? Every dad would enjoy a sweet heartfelt message for as long as it takes to hug you and say 'thank you.' Dinosaurs eating pizza gets stuck on the wall. Forever. Even without the pun, which makes this card an 11/10. Only better possible card would be dinosaurs eating pizza making a fart joke.
I hate cards. I don't like giving them or getting them. I do it for people I love (only) because I feel terrible wasting $5 on a BS card, but I would feel worse not giving one.
I will always find cards like the one on the right. If I'm gonna waste money... you might as well get a chuckle or smile out of it.
The cheesy cards make me feel like I'm getting fake cheesy thank yous back.
Personally - I would be happy only sending and receiving thank you or condolence cards.
IDK... maybe I'm weird.
I do not have kids. I do not want kids. In some hypothetical universe where I did and they were given this option, I would be deeply offended if they chose the Hallmark special over the clearly superior therapod pizza party.
Is this technically ragebait? OP must know the one on the right is the only viable option and we are all "outraged" that there is even a potential thought as to otherwise....well played OP well played.
Someone who loves me and respect my role as father would give me the left one.
Someone that truly knows me and wants to bring joy to me as a father knows they must give me the paparoni one. I would be offended if they didn’t because I am a punny type of person.
I got tired of buying my wife anniversary cards awhile back so I started buying her condolence cards instead. I feel like a condolence card would also work for this.
>we both appreciate you so much. It's important to us that you know that.
Why does it sound like his job is being downsized and he's about to get let-go? 😂
I've always hated the "sentiment" that goes in to cards for people. The fact that people feel the need to hold onto cards forever. So for years now I just pull the first eye catcher off the shelf and write something silly in it. For mothers day I gave my mom a power rangers boys birthday card that said "way to make it to 10!" or something, or for birthday cards I'll buy get well soon, or for holidays I'll just write congrats on a piece of paper and stuff it in an envelope.
I’d say get one that matches your personality cause it’ll remind them of you whenever you’re not around. Sure any old card would do the same. But I’ve found that ones that match your personality seem to resonate with the soul of the receiver. That or it pulls on the heart strings and sends a warm feeling through the body. Sounds crazy ik, but give it a shot
I find it the fun to take a card that has NOTHING to do to do with the occasion, then scribble out the parts that don’t have anything to do with the occasion and replace (e.g.: so sorry for your (Loss) Father’s Day)
On one of my Dad's last birthdays, I got him a card that had a picture of a thumb with a dumb face drawn on it on the front. On the inside it said "For thumb one very special". It took a couple seconds to click when he read it, but he cracked up and I ended up getting a really nice picture of him, eyes closed laughing his ass off. One of my favorite pictures of him.
Funny cards all the way.
My brother and I always buy each other either super religious cards or a very emotional, serious card and then cross out words and replace them with our own verbage. Makes for good fun.

Right card has: 1. Pizza 2. Cool dinosaurs 3. Amusing pun Left card has: 1. Boring lake I mean there's really no contest
Yeah, honestly you want something you can remember. A thoughtful quote is more like, oh okay.. but something funny like dinosaurs eating pizza. Priceless.
Plus you can write the thoughtful quote on the inside of the Dino card!
Brilliant
My aunt got my mom [this card](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/28/22/cb/2822cb2698c21346719699b52677191b.jpg) like 15 years ago, we still laugh about it today.
I like how there is absolutely no reason to connect the dinosaurs with pepperoni pizza or dads
The first year after mom Mom died, I picked out a "serious" card like the one on the left. The letter I wrote him inside was heartfelt about how much I loved him and depended on him even more now. Sure, I could have done the same in the Pizza one, but a serious, heartfelt one seemed a better choice that year, and every year after.

Maybe there is some kinda huge aquatic monster from the Paleolithic era lurking in the depths of the lake. Maybe that monster needs about tree fiddy.
Literally no choice to be made here.
OP clearly knows the answer. It's Paparoni all the way.
As a dad, it's definitely the Paparoni card.
Also a dad. The Dino one would get hung on the wall or put somewhere out in the open, and I would look at often. The other card would go back in the envelope and proceed to live in a drawer.
That drawer is a garbage can.
I'm a father of 3. I see only one card here
As a not a dad, it 100% is.
As a dad, I'd be upset getting the card on the left if I knew that the Papa-roni card was an option.
As a dad, I'd be upset knowing there was even a shadow of non-paparoni doubt.
What a username.
It’s so large that it attained sentience and fathered children!
"When Papa John Meets Hallmark"
As a dad, I second this 100 %. The first card is not Father’s Day worthy.
It'd be like getting kicked in the face, but instead of being kicked in the face, it's being told you're boring and handed the most bland card imaginable and then that they could've gotten a good humorous card, but didn't. It's an offense against all dads!
Not angry, just disappointed
Me too. Papa-roni all day.
As the kid, I'd be as disappointed in myself as you.
As a dad, one of these is going into the recycling within the day, the other is going on my desk at work for the next year or more
Bigtime. Then I realize I can't throw them away at work, either. I have a manilla folder in my desk of everything from cards, to pictures, to notes, from my kids. Probably a few years worth. It keeps me focused.
Don’t forget you’re here forever
DO IT FOR HER. It literally is my motivation.
really? Do your kids just sign their name or do they write something heartfelt inside? (I'm assuming your kids would be old enough to possibly pick the one on the left.)
Indeed. My family has been passing around the same (multiple copies) "I regret nothing" card for years now.
So much this. I would take a fart joke card over a mushy card any day of the week.
It’s not unusual for us to do both: a silly card and a serious one.
I'm sure there had to be other ones depicting dad farting or swilling beer.
Obviously the one on the right
The only choice
The right choice
Yes, we all can see it's on the right. I'm sorry, I'll see myself out.
The exit is on the right!
I'm annoyed anytime I have to buy a card for my wife, because of this. The choices are either: "I'm forever thankful The Lord has placed this woman of God in my life, to share eternity with." Or, "Thx for marrying me, even though I fart a lot." *Card farts*
The answer clearly is to buy the funny card and plagiarize the message off the sincere card so that she gets the best of both.
Big brain
Do it the other way around. And provide your own sound effects.
My mom about to come in here and ask me why I'm laughing so hard
I you didn't get the one with dinosaurs and pizza, i feel bad for your dad.
The one on the left is actually cheesier
Cheesier than P i z z a?
Hey 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Damn! This needs to be the top comment.
As a dad I'd be more impressed with getting that. It's a bigger joke really. 😂😞
As a dad: paparoni. Not even close.
Absolutely. I would actually be upset if I got the left from my kid knowing he had the right as an option Being more serious, the left has serious "I was obligated to so this so here's a premade and completely impersonal message" vibes The right is more like "hey I genuinely like you and hope this makes you laugh like I did"
Even though cards are stupid expensive, I buy 1 of each. One for the heartfelt stuff and one for the funny.
That's actually super thoughtful, thank you for the suggestion.
Put the Papa Roni card inside the boring one as a lil “sike!” moment!
No buy the paparoni card and write the stuff from the other one inside it
Honestly why I find it worth it to shop at Dollar Tree or places like Trader Joe’s for holiday/occasion cards. Cards should really not exceed $1 unless it is a special occasion, or like in this case where the card is too good to pass up
As a dad, I like handwritten cards on folded construction paper or printer paper. Frugal and made by the people I love is always way better than some store bought drivel. I keep all of my kids handmade cards. They really do make me happy.
When in doubt, always pick the dinosaurs!!!
I would love either one. But I would love the one on the right more.
Obviously the dinosaur card, do you not want to be seen as the favorite child?
As a dad, if you give me the one on the left, I'm asking the hospital for a refund 😂
In the event you aren’t already a dad. I don’t know a single father, including myself, who would prefer the card on the left.
Agreed. Last year, after my ex-wife got a new boyfriend, my 14-year old got me a card celebrating his two dads. I couldn’t stop laughing - best card I ever got.
As a dad, I want the one on the right. But I can accept it if you write the cheesy text on the inside!
Exactly! That’s the kind of stuff you write or tell them yourself. Printed on a card it’s tacky. Also, spinosaurus. Do they make any of these for moms? I want one.
Sadly, the spinosaurus was discontinued roughly 94 million years ago.
Was this Walmart? If so I need to find a copy…
"Paparonii with cheese" " these colloquial terms for father is not what I use"
Only one choice here. Unless OP hates their father.
Morgan Freeman's voice: "But the choice was, in fact, quite easy."
As a father, the dinosaur one would make me way happier and I would remember it more. Js.
My grandpa goes by Paparon, so I would HAVE to get the Paparoni one Op- where are these?? I must get it
What is the tough choice? Every dad would enjoy a sweet heartfelt message for as long as it takes to hug you and say 'thank you.' Dinosaurs eating pizza gets stuck on the wall. Forever. Even without the pun, which makes this card an 11/10. Only better possible card would be dinosaurs eating pizza making a fart joke.
Dinos
I'm a father of 3. I see only one card here
Dude if i don't get the Papa-Roni card, you're dead to me.
I don’t have kids but if I did I’d know which one loved me based on the card. It’s paparoni, and it’s not even close.
I'd go for the pizza dinosaurs!
Paparoni!!!
If you are under 12 here will appreciate papa roni If you are older than 12 he will appreciate it even more
As a dad, I can assure you you should always go with dinos eating pizza. 😎
Put the one on the left inside the one on the right. Give both. Profit.
Cards are dust in the wind, Papa-roni is a lifelong memory.
I hate cards. I don't like giving them or getting them. I do it for people I love (only) because I feel terrible wasting $5 on a BS card, but I would feel worse not giving one. I will always find cards like the one on the right. If I'm gonna waste money... you might as well get a chuckle or smile out of it.

Is this technically ragebait? OP must know the one on the right is the only viable option and we are all "outraged" that there is even a potential thought as to otherwise....well played OP well played.
Yeah, I don't get why they bother to have serious cards at all.
Someone who loves me and respect my role as father would give me the left one. Someone that truly knows me and wants to bring joy to me as a father knows they must give me the paparoni one. I would be offended if they didn’t because I am a punny type of person.
I got tired of buying my wife anniversary cards awhile back so I started buying her condolence cards instead. I feel like a condolence card would also work for this.
>we both appreciate you so much. It's important to us that you know that. Why does it sound like his job is being downsized and he's about to get let-go? 😂
The left one sounds like something you give your father before taking him out behind the barn and euthanizing him.
I am a dad. I am telling you, papa-roni dinosaurs. That's your only choice.
Totally got my dad the same paparoni card this year, there was no other option
How do you even consider not giving the card that is a dad joke ? I’d be Raptorous if I got the pizza card.
I'd be disappointed, if my kids passed on the dinosaur card.
Heartfelt stuff that you didn't write yourself is just fluff anyway. If you're going to buy a card then make the humour a present.
Dad here. The only thing better than paparoni would be a hand drawn facsimile
Damn, that first one looks like it belongs at a funeral or is given to a AAA member.
Take the left card's advice, dinos and pizza.
When on earth was this ever even a choice? Paparoni is the only way
Get both, but tape the dinos on the inside for a nice little paparoni surprise.
No contest!! One is the perfect card… the other has a severe lack of dinosaurs 🦖 and pizza 🍕
Paparoni!
What do they say inside? I'm team Papa-roni but a good message might tip the scales.
The toughest of choices require the strongest of wills.
Team papa-roni here.
Depends on if you like your father
Well, I can tell you which one our three kids (ages 3-6) would pick...
Paparoni plus heartfelt message written by OP. Best of both worlds. Source, also a paparoni.
Paparoni, not close
Tough? Without hesitation I'd go to the right one.
The card on the right is evidence that some millennials have broken into the greeting card game.
Fuck it, get both and explain how you enjoy both sides of him.
As a dad I would hang one on the fridge forever and it is the Papa Roni. If I do not get this from my kids I will disown them.
Why not both? I always get my wife a funny and serious card.
as a dad, i like the funny ones, then just write something heartfelt inside
I'd take the dinosaur please
The only difficulty here is how many to buy.
Dad here. Zero choice.
Pro-tip: buy the funny card, write inside the sentiment printed on the sappy card. Good laugh + heartfelt sentiment.
Papa-Roni Papa-Roni go with the Dino-Roni.
It i got a "paparoi" slice from one of my kids, that would definitely tell me that they loved me.
Buy the one on the right, but use the sentiments of the one on the left. I think it pairs up magically, really.
both
Easiest choice in the history of choices
But the right, write the left inside
Dad here. Dinosaurs with pizza all day.
My 4 year old picked out the exact card on the right for my dad.
Right side one.... No contest... Dad jokes all the way 'till I die.
Dinos for sure
This is no choice at all the dinosaur
I only see one choice here.
As a dad I have a clear preference. I hope you did not disappoint!
Love the one on the right cause I’m a big pizza guy
I've always hated the "sentiment" that goes in to cards for people. The fact that people feel the need to hold onto cards forever. So for years now I just pull the first eye catcher off the shelf and write something silly in it. For mothers day I gave my mom a power rangers boys birthday card that said "way to make it to 10!" or something, or for birthday cards I'll buy get well soon, or for holidays I'll just write congrats on a piece of paper and stuff it in an envelope.
Well, do you know why dad jokes are called dad jokes? Which of these cards has the dad joke?
I often bet two cards for occasions; my favorite heartfelt one and my favorite funny one.
I feel like that is a very easy choice to make
Get both
YEP! PAPA-RONI for the WIN!!!
That's a dope card.
I’d say get one that matches your personality cause it’ll remind them of you whenever you’re not around. Sure any old card would do the same. But I’ve found that ones that match your personality seem to resonate with the soul of the receiver. That or it pulls on the heart strings and sends a warm feeling through the body. Sounds crazy ik, but give it a shot
Oof. A sincere wholesome message vs a well put joke. I'd flip a coin.
Dude, come on Papa Roni
Damn, i wish the store i went to had the paparoni card. i picked a card where it was like how to cut grass, have a kid.
Not tough always go with the goof card
If my dad was alive I would give him the right now with no hesitation
I want the dinosaur one
I *always* buy my dad 2 cards for fathers day and his birthday, one sweet one like the left and one absolutely ridiculous one like the right.
The one on the left and on the inside write, "Let's go fishing." With some money inside
I hope my children never wonder for a second. Annual abuse is all I can ask for.
I find it the fun to take a card that has NOTHING to do to do with the occasion, then scribble out the parts that don’t have anything to do with the occasion and replace (e.g.: so sorry for your (Loss) Father’s Day)
Choose the one you would want your dad would do the same.
Gotta go with Papa-roni. Boring cards are neither encouraged or welcomed.
As a Mom... Do we have anything like this Papa-roni one? I need this in my life.
Both, seeing the paparoni is goofy silly just to be met with the boring card of the left is perfect
There's really no contest here.
Go with humor. Life is too short to be serious.
When in doubt, spinosaurus.
If he isn’t sick or new to family, go for the laugh. And a hug I’ll make up for not getting the mushy card.
RAWR. SKWACK.
There is no choice. It's the pizza one.
OP has subconsciously made a choice by placing the right card above the other.
On one of my Dad's last birthdays, I got him a card that had a picture of a thumb with a dumb face drawn on it on the front. On the inside it said "For thumb one very special". It took a couple seconds to click when he read it, but he cracked up and I ended up getting a really nice picture of him, eyes closed laughing his ass off. One of my favorite pictures of him. Funny cards all the way.
Dinos and pizza for the win.
Papa Roni!!!
My brother and I always buy each other either super religious cards or a very emotional, serious card and then cross out words and replace them with our own verbage. Makes for good fun.
Right card all day. Dont know what the debate is here
Both!!
¿Por que no los dos?
There is even a fricking Trex!
I vote for the Dino card.
I don't want a card
As a dad I would like the right one.
There's no choice. Dinosaurs .
No choice, paparoni all the way
As a dad myself, I would appreciate the dinosaur card, and would also get that one for my dad and he’d love it
Make mine p-p-p-pepperoni!
Yes... Between fricking rockstar ass awesome and abject failure and shame.
Where can I get this from?
Get both. Use one for Sunday, the other for his birthday.
Ah, the Carnival Cruise of father's day cards.
The internet has ruined me.
That Jurassic Park joint is the one. Plus it’s repping the slept on spinosaurus
Get the Paparoni card and write down the message getting the other card.
