He most certainly stole their spotlight.

The world is full of kids who believe their moms and dads are embarrassing. But in reality, a lot of times the parents are actually pretty awesome (and the kids just don’t know it yet).

Case in point, the dad in the video below. When his two daughters decided to film themselves dancing in the kitchen – he thought it would be a good idea to sneak in and steal the show.

Now, if you’re thinking that having your dad dancing in the background sounds cringe-worthy, you haven’t seen this guy’s moves. He’s won over the internet with his little sneak-attack that has more than 1.2 million views!

One common activity for adolescent girls is creating group dances. You know, blasting the music and pretending like you’re the best backup dancers…ever? It’s a pastime that a lot of sisters partake in, just like the ones featured in the clip.

The scene takes place in the family’s kitchen and the music choice is Silentó’s “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).”

At first, the girls seem quite shy about starting the performance and rock nervously in front of the camera. But then in the background enters dad – who tries to “sneakily” take a spot behind his daughters. Instead of a duet, it was going to be a trio!

While the sisters wait for the right moment in the song to begin, dad already can’t control his dancing feet.

He starts busting out moves all while dressed in his super-cool Superman shirt. Then, after it finally reaches the “watch me whip,” “watch me nae nae” lines – they all dance in a synchronized fashion.

Apparently, dad had been keeping up with the trends, because he actually has the moves down really well.

Good luck trying to watch the sisters dance. Their dad is just too distracting (in a good and hilarious way).

He’s actually a talented dancer with enough rhythm to set the kitchen floor on fire. He shows off his skills to the “stanky leg” and even “breaks his legs” like a champ.

But as they say, all good things must come to an end.

When it’s time for dad to “bop,” he swivels around and begins to twerk. It’s at this point that his daughters look back and freak out over dad being there (or maybe it was the twerking that was mortifying).

While it seems like the girls were embarrassed having their dad steal the spotlight – one day they’ll realize he’s actually quite awesome.

And if they want to know what real parent embarrassment is, oh just wait. BuzzFeed collected some stories from their community members that make you want to crawl in a hole just thinking of them.

“In grade school we had a school picnic, and my dad volunteered to be in the dunking booth. My dad not only thought it would be hilarious to wear my mom’s one-piece swimsuit while he did it, but he used a megaphone to call out my classmates and friends by name, so they all knew it was my dad.”

BuzzFeed member, sydneee2 learned the hard way that you shouldn’t mess with mom.

“Once, when I was a sophomore, I was really annoyed and just wanted to get to school. My mother said she would get out of the car in her pajamas and dance in front of my school unless I dropped the attitude. Being an idiot kid, I didn’t believe her, but when we pulled up to my school she got out and danced behind me until I entered the building. People talked about it for a while.”

See ladies? Your dad isn’t that bad!
