Will Smith has been the shifter of the tides in the entertainment industry for many decades now. Ever since he moved away from Philadelphia and into Bel Air to make a name for himself as a rapper, Smith thrived on individuality. When he rapped he refrained from profanities and when he started acting, he made movies that everyone would enjoy irrespective of age. It was as if Will Smith thought of his audience as his children and constantly kept himself in check.

If Pedro Pascal is Internet’s Daddy and does not shy away from indulging in their banter, then Will Smith too can be called the Internet’s father. Given how he can churn out ten dad jokes at any given moment and how much he enjoys bizarre filters, Smith resembles millennial dads on the Internet who are trying to fit into the high-tech world of Gen-Z.

The Bad Boys actor has been keeping busy with filming and getting in shape, but that does not mean he does not have time to make his classic dad jokes. As he appeared to be seated on a plane, the actor played around with the Spider filter. More precisely, the spider filter played him. As the spider moved from one corner of the face to another, the 54-year-old actor tried his best to slap it. And no, he did not have any Oscar slap jokes to make.

The Pursuit of Happyness actor wrote in the caption, “A spider on a plane? We call that a no-fly zone,” leaving us all open-mouthed. While it was the perfect opportunity to say “Get this spider out of my f****ing mouth,” Smith’s joke was not too bad either.
