Mum impersonates six common types of dad in hilarious viral TikTok

One mum has gone viral after sharing a TikTok video making fun of the types of dads that are commonly seen outside schools.

In the hilarious video, the woman can be seen acting out what she believes to be the six most common stereotypes.

In the TikTok, which now has over 115 thousand 'likes' on the platform, the mum skewers young dads, dads who cycle, and more.

The mum didn't just nail the clothes with this one - with the tight Lycra shorts and helmet - but also the mannerisms, as she can be seen with a wide toothy smile waving frantically.

The confused dad

Those who live with new fathers will instantly recognise this impersonation, in which the woman can be seen holding a water bottle, banana, and rucksack - but seemingly having no clue what to do with any of them.

In a pitch-perfect impression of younger fathers, the TikTok creator can be seen wearing an oversized hoodie , sweatpants and a cap placed sideways.

The dad that all the mums secretly fancy

For this impression, the woman dons black aviator sunglasses, a flannel shirt, and a trucker cap - all the while walking around in an faux-blasé manner that many mums may instantly recognise.

The army dad

In what is a hysterical impression - but one that might be more recognisable to American mum - the Tik Tok star dons a full military uniform and does a priceless march up and down her kitchen before saluting.

As we head into autumn and winter, this type of dad will only stick out more, and the mum does a pitch-perfect impersonation of them. Wearing a baggy t-shirt and shorts, she can be seen pulling up her sleeves to show off that she isn't cold.

"100% I'm the confused dad. Even turned up at the wrong school once," wrote one Tik Tok user in the comments.
