From synchronized dancing and rap dedications to teaching life lessons and crusading for their children’s fair treatment, these ten everyday fathers gained online popularity for going the extra mile.

Shame on public shaming
After one woman gave her son a haircut to teach him a lesson about doing drugs and flunking school, Florida father Wayman Gresham went viral himself, shaming parents who publicly shame their children.
It’s time for me to discipline my kid the tough way! Why? I don’t play that!

Like father, like son
Someone’s gonna be moving like his father in no time. Robert Diovin Atengco’s dance session with his then three-month-old baby boy proved that he got the dancing genes early.

The new normal
Atlanta fathers Kaleb and Kordale Lewis gained national attention after a photo of them doing their daughter’s hair went viral. The gay couple later starred in a Nikon commercial giving a touching look into their lives.
One less “Problem”
It takes a real man to switch with his hands on his hips to Ariana Grande’s “Problem” for the sake of his little girl, and that’s what London Johnson did. He killed it, by the way.
