Son leaves people in stitches after sharing dad's 'petty' sign celebrating his brother's graduation

A man went viral after sharing his dad's 'brutal' signs he erected to celebrate his son's achievements.

Justin Parappuram left people in stitches after sharing the photos - featuring the two boards his dad placed outside the family home after his boys graduated.

He joked: "My dad swears he doesn't have a favourite", alongside the photo, which features him and his brother posing in their graduation gowns.

Justin graduated from university, where he completed a degree in mechanical engineering, while his brother Ryan finished secondary school.

But Ryan was also crowned valedictorian - meaning he had the highest grades in his graduating class in high school.

Naturally, their dad was proud of his this - and referenced it on the card.

He also added to Justin's: 'NOT valedictorian', just in case anyone needed that clearing up.

The signs left people in stitches, with many joking that his dad's sense of humour was brutal.

One wrote: "Lmao he petty," while another replied: "They couldn’t have written something different???? They literally insulted their child on a poster that the public can look at any time..."

Another joked: "But why did he have to capitalize the "not" like he didn't want people to miss that fact."

Others saw the funny side, with one adding: "I’m sure he doesn’t have a favourite, but he does have an excellent sense of humour. Congratulations to you and your brother."

And Justin clarified he was also happy with the sign, as he tweeted: "I love both my dad and brother, this was all in good fun! I'm super proud of my brother, and I know he is proud of me, too.

"My dad couldn't be more thrilled for the both of us and only printed this sign with my consent."
