Hilarious! THIS dad is a real live Elf On The Shelf!

Not content with a miniature ‘Elf on the Shelf’, one clever Dad decided to make himself into a real-life version – with hilarious results!

‘Fle’ is Father of four Joe Wynberg’s alter-ego elf name. Joe’s wife, Megan, takes photos of Fle in all sorts of hilarious, compromising and sometimes downright perplexing positions.

Sharing their Fle photo shoots on Facebook, Joe and Megan are gaining a loyal following as viewers log on to see what Fle has been up to during the night.

With four kids, Joe told Buzzfeed Canada that finding time for the nightly shoot has been extremely tricky, but people waiting to see what Fle will do next, they feel a certain obligation.

“Now people are looking forward to it every night at around 8 or 9 o’clock to see what Fle is going to get into next,” he said. “I don’t think we were planning to all 24 days at first, but now we’re kind of forced to.”

Check out some of these hilarious situations that Fle has found himself in – we wonder what he will get up to next!

Haha absolutely laughed at the one where he is taped to the wall. Im sure all the local kids would think he is the best dad ever. Well done for going above and beyond the normal elf on the shelf

Very comical – hope they own the house – big renovations coming up soon. Can’t decide if ‘Fle’ looks more like a young Dick Van Dyke, or a Bob Denver from Gilligan’s Island.

I think Fle has a little too much time on his hands. Elf on the Shelf became popular after my son had learned about Santa. I would have loved it when my son was younger and definitely would have gone at it with gusto.

No, I’m not using an Elf on the Shelf in my house. It’s a completely new tradition to me.

Hahaha our elf got “touched” so he is hiding in a cupboard… I mean the North Pole after sprinkling enough glitter… Magic dust to fly back and restore his magic

We never did Elf on the shelf.
