Sometimes we just need a good laugh. Whether someone's been going through stressful times or they've just had a long day, laughter can be just what the doctor ordered to turn a bad day into one with a good ending. This can make all the difference. Studies show that smiling can make you feel better instantly. What better way to grin than some funny videos that any parent can relate to, if only every once and a while?

Dads have many reasons to faint during parenthood. After all, children never rest. If they're not running too close to the oncoming traffic, they're taking your week's paycheck and flushing it down the toilet (literally or figuratively). The stress of making sure your baby is a) okay and b) not destroying your house and everything in it can be so overwhelming, any dad has a reason to get lightheaded.

Not only do dads have reason to faint from trivial matters, but some of the deepest moments in a parent's life can make a dad weak at the knees. When a dad finds out what gender his unborn baby is, the excitement can be just too much. And labor is hardest on the mom, of course, but all that emotional stress can be enough to make the strongest guy faint. It's nothing to do with weakness: fainting has everything to do with overwhelming emotions, and parenthood involves that almost constantly.

Whether you're a dad yourself or you're married to one, these videos will give a perfect kick to your day. If you've had a stressful morning or you just need to relax, kick back and watch these fifteen videos of dads passing out. If you can't relate, don't worry: every parent will at some point or another.

14 Dad Faints After Ten Hour Labor

As mentioned earlier in the article, childbirth for a dad is nothing compared to what a mother has to go through. That being sad, guys still go through a lot of emotions. Supporting someone through labor can be emotionally very difficult. If he's never been through anything like it before (and, if it's his first child, he likely hasn't), the intensity can catch him off-guard before he knows it.

This dad tells the story of his wife's childbirth and how, after ten hours of labor, he ended up passing out from exhaustion. He had very little sleep and nothing to eat from the previous night, and he was both hungry and tired throughout the labor. Despite this, he knew he had to be there for his partner and new baby, so he tried to power through.

During a particularly intense part of the labor, he lost consciousness and woke up after having passed out for a significant amount of time. Maybe the hunger and sleep deprivation got to him or maybe the experience was just too much. Regardless, this man needs a round of applause for dedication to his partner and perseverance!

13 Dad's Bad Breath Makes Child Faint

Sure, kids make dads faint sometimes, but dads definitely return the favor! If there's anything most dads love, it's humor. There's a reason that "dad jokes" are a thing: dads like making their kids laugh. It's a moment they can share together and he can treasure, even when his kids are teenagers and no longer think he's funny.

This dad takes a joke too far. His child thinks he has bad breath and so, jokingly, he breathes out a big huff. Unfortunately, the stench was so overpowering that one whiff, and his baby was out. Like any good joke, you've got to be careful that the punchline isn't switched on you. If so, you may receive a reaction you hand't planned or wanted. Dad jokes are no exception to this!

12 Fainting During The Superbowl

Hey, not every reason a dad faints has to be the big days, like gender reveals or baby deliveries. Sometimes even a chance to chill and enjoy what you love can be crazier than expected. If you're a dad who loves football, you know that the Super Bowl isn't just a game. For some, especially if your team made the championship, it can be a day so intense that you may end up investing more energy than you expected.

This dad loves his family, but he also loves football. A lot. The Super Bowl was, for him, similar to what others feel during a religious experience. It was beautiful, awe-inspiring, and so surprising that he just couldn't handle it. After a particularly unexpected play, the dad in the video gets a little weak-kneed and then faints without further ado.

Naysayers can laugh all they want, but the Super Bowl isn't just a game. It is the game, and for some people, it's also a lifestyle. A little fainting in the throes of excitement never hurt anybody. Let's just hope he was as excited for this as he was for the birth of his children!

11 Baby Delivery Faint From 1995

Fainting during delivery is more common than you might think. Dads don't get nearly enough exposure to childbirth before it happens. While moms attend delivery classes and research everything they might need to know, dads are often left in the sidelines expected to rely on their instincts. Unfortunately, their instincts just might cause them to faint on his partner's bedside.

This video is a relic from 1995, potentially older than some of the dads and moms-to-be browsing Baby Gaga. As this video shows, dads really haven't changed too much in the past twenty years. They still get nervous when their partners go into labor, they still try their best to cope with a stressful situation, and they still faint, at least sometimes.

10 This Dad Faints to Make Kids Laugh

Only a dad knows how hard it can be to make a kid laugh. The older they get, the more it feels like you have a bunch of little critics running around instead of the toddlers who used to adore your every move. Sometimes, a dad has to pull drastic measures to elicit a smile from his children again.

This dad knows what's up. While running around and having a good time with his kids, he falls over and "faints." His children go wild with laughter. Even his wife (holding the camera) giggles as he pretends to collapse.

It's not easy being a dad, that's for sure: between the ups and downs of parenthood comes a whole lot of feelings. But it's easier if you have a sense of humor and are willing to be a little goofy, when the time is right.

9 Fainting On A Roller Coaster

The internet is filled with teens and older children fainting on a roller coaster, often with their dad laughing in the background. It was only a matter of time before we found a revenge video: finally, one dad gets more than he bargained for and freaks out more than his daughter on the ride!

Roller coasters are made to target stress reactions and get your body pumping full of adrenaline. Sometimes this creates a rush comparable to nothing else, but sometimes it's just too much for your body. Before you know it, you end up passed out and shaken back awake by your family after the ride is over.

Fainting on a roller coaster is normal and understandable. Whether his family ever let him live it down... that is another thing altogether.

8 Daddy Fainting After Wife's Childbirth

This video shows the end of a clearly very tiring day for the new family. After the labor, this dad could no longer handle his exhaustion coupled with his nerves. He sits down to take a rest and, after getting a little light-headed, faints right away. The doctors attend to him as best as they can, seemingly while knowing that what he most needs after this is rest.

If you're worried that his wife was left all alone with the new baby, don't be: the video shows that she fell asleep right after the labor! This video is perhaps one of the most authentic videos about childbirth out there. After such a strenuous process, all you need may be a little rest and time to recuperate. If passing out is how you get that rest, then no shame: you do you, my friend.

7 Husband Faints During Birth Of First Baby

Some of the best stories of dads fainting are told from the mom's perspective. No guy likes to admit he passed out, especially not on the big day. Yet there is really nothing to be ashamed about, and a little humor to brighten the situation goes a long way! If the dad has tight lips about his experience, the mom might be willing to share a little more and turn it from an embarrassment to a fond memory.

This mother runs a vlog called "Sam Naturally," which chronicles the daily life of her family's life in Holland. After years of trying to get pregnant, she and her husband were able to conceive on IFV. Because of all the excitement and hard emotions involved in this pregnancy, the labor was an ordeal for them both. Despite his best efforts, her husband ended up passing out during the delivery.

If these videos teach anything about parenthood, it's that fainting is not synonymous with a weak stomach. Often, the dads who faint are just the ones who care the most and have the strongest feelings about the big day. And that is beautiful, not shameful!

6 EMT Dad Faints At Wife's Labor

Even a trained medic can find himself passed out on the floor during his wife's labor. It's one thing to witness childbirth when you're not attached to the person going into labor. When this person is your spouse, someone you love very much and do not want to see in pain, your emotions can get the best of you.

Once your brain goes into fight-or-flight mode (and it chooses flight), there's nothing you can really do. This dad had nine years of experience as an EMT. He had seen a lot of emergencies and had been trained not to faint at the sight of blood. If anyone had been through high-intensity, stressful situations, he certainly had.

But the birth of your first baby is special, and it can play with your emotions in ways you'd never expect. There's no shame in fainting at the birth of your first baby, even if you've had all the training in the world.

5 Dad Faints During Birth Simulation

If a guy ever tells you he knows exactly what you're going through when you're giving birth, take his sentiment for a grain of salt. Then, throw that grain of salt right into the trash where it belongs. Unless, of course, that guy is this guy. He still may not know what you're going through exactly, but you can at least give him credit for having the guys and trying.

This dad wanted to know what childbirth was like, so doctors hooked him up to a childbirth simulation. This simulation stimulated the muscles a mother would use during childbirth so he could feel contractions for himself. The person running the machine could then fiddle with the buttons as needed to manipulate the strength and variety of contractions.

As you can see, it was a humbling experience for this guy, and he even ended up fainting a little. Given the extreme pain women handle during labor, this is no surprise. So next time your husband isn't as understanding as you'd like when you have a contraction, send him this video and remind him how lucky he is you don't know anyone with a birth simulator.

4 Dad Faints While Giving Blood

Giving blood is never a fun experience. Even if you've eaten beforehand and have an iron will when it comes to needles, you can easily find yourself lightheaded. More often than not, you'll need to take a rest afterwards just to make sure you're rested and able to make it home without passing out. Yet couple this feeling with a fear of needles, and you might pass out more easily than you'd expect during a blood draw.

These teenagers took a video of their dad getting his blood drawn because they knew he was squeamish at the sight of blood and wanted to capture this moment on video for years of laughter to come. Teenagers can be hilarious at the best of times, but give them something to take videos with, and they can be a little cruel.

Did they succeed in capturing a funny moment? We think so. Whether this dad would agree or not is another story.

3 Gender Reveal Surprise Faint

Any dad with four girls will tell you that he loves his daughters fiercely and would do anything in the world for them. But many parents enjoy having children of both genders. When you have just four boys or just four girls, you may care about them so much, but it's okay if you long for a baby of the opposite gender, too.

It's clear that this dad wouldn't have cared about the baby's gender so long as it was healthy, but when he finds out his wife is having a baby boy after four girls, he faints. And who can blame him! When you feel so much love for a baby that's not even born yet, knowing their gender can be overwhelming. Knowing that their gender is one you've never had is enough to make anybody faint.

Wherever this dad is now, we wish him the best and know that he'll be an incredible father to his new son. Good luck! If only every baby could grow up in a house with so much compassion.

2  Passed Out In The Hospital

Once again, nobody likes having their blood drawn: especially not dads. What causes this apparent phenomena where normally strong-stomached guys come tumbling to the floor once they see the sight of blood? Perhaps it's the rush of adrenaline. Perhaps it's just a little hospital phobia mixed with needles. Whatever the cause, though we hate to admit it, the combination is a little funny.

This dad probably regrets ever giving their child something to record with. To be fair, he should have known that bringing a camera into the hospital would only bite him back in the end. Maybe next time, he'll think twice before letting his child bring in anything with a lens to the hospital. With any luck, though, he won't be needing his blood drawn again anytime soon.

1 Bonus: Dad Makes Daughter Nearly Faint At Cotillion

Kids have plenty of opportunities to make their parents pass out, but sometimes the most meaningful moments are when a parent's kind actions make their child faint. This dad did just that when he showed up to his daughter's cotillion and made her day as well as possibly her high school experience.

This teenager had no reason to expect her dad's appearance at cotillion. Even though she really wanted him to come, he had told her that he would not be able to come. She knew this and respected his schedule, but she still felt disappointed that he wouldn't be there. When she's surprised at the door by a very familiar face, she bursts into tears and falls slightly, almost fainting as she embraces her dad.

Passing out isn't all laughter and funny moments. The sweetest times can be when, because of circumstances so wonderful you can't believe they are true, you nearly fall to the floor. Family is the most important thing we have in life, even if we do make each other a little lightheaded at times.
