‘Now you know why your grandfather’s dead’
32 of the Funniest Things Said by People’s Family Members

Name the funniest person you can think of. No, it’s not George Carlin. It’s not even Gilda Radner. It’s your dad. It’s always your dad. And if it’s not your dad, it’s somebody else’s. Take, for example, the Redditor who detailed an argument they had with their grandmother, only for their father to reply, “Now you know why your grandfather’s dead,” and leave the room. Those kinds of one-liners are honed after years of observation and falling asleep in front of the TV. 

But dads aren’t the only ones getting their zingers in. Other Redditors offered up the funniest things their family members have ever said to them, and a number of these people have the makings of comedy legends.
