12 Babies Who Are Already Killing It With The Perfect Dad Bods

by Connor Toole

At the end of the 14th century, some of Italy's most brilliant minds ushered in the Renaissance, an era celebrating knowledge and the arts that helped shape the world we know today.

At the end of March this year, a sophomore at Clemson University ushered in a different kind of renaissance -- the Dad Bod Renaissance, a celebration of that out-of-shape club lacrosse player everyone knew in college.

By now, everything that can be said about the dad bod has really been said, and I know I'm not the only person who's ready for a new trend to dominate the news cycle.

So, I'm not going to miss out on the perfect excuse to do one of my favorite things: make fun of fat babies (and a few toddlers; I don't discriminate).

Does that make me a hypocrite? Possibly, but based on the (admittedly excessive) amount of joy I felt while putting this together, I don't really care.

"I don't drink too much, I'm accumulating mass."

"Nothing pairs with light beer better than a greasy slice of pizza."

"That's not a gut -- it's muscle. Trust me."

"Welcome to the gun show."

"As you can probably tell from my physique, I've been laxing for a few years now."

"My spirit animal is John Daly."

"Yeah, that's bourbon. My frat knows how to party. "

"My record is two seconds."

"Girls also dig ironic t-shirts, right?"

"Would you believe me if I told you I was only 6 months old?"

"Take one from another angle. That one makes me look fatter than I really am."

"See these arms? I can bench my body weight. That's right -- a full 15 pounds."
