Vengeance Dad, also known as Retribution Dad, is an advice animal image macro based on a 1984 family portrait featuring Guymon Casady staring intensely at the camera while his family smiles. The meme rose to prominence on Reddit and 4chan in 2011, defined by its signature dark humor. Typically, the top text presents a minor domestic slight, while the bottom text delivers a sinister, disproportionate act of revenge. It thrives on the contrast between the wholesome 80s aesthetic and the father's menacing expression, making it a classic template for suburban horror-themed jokes and puns.
