9-1-1: Lone Star. Ready as ever to be getting back into the swing of things is Rob Lowe, and he brought out a dad joke to prove that he fits the parental role both on screen and off.

And of course, his real-life sons couldn’t help but to call him out for it. Not much is known about what's going down in 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4, aside from the anticipated Tarlos wedding or the possibility of a 9-1-1 crossover.

While fans wait for answers there, Rob Lowe posted a pretty fun photo to Instagram. It looks like one of the first episodes of the season will take place at a fair, and that’s not the only thing that’s on fire -- as Lowe embraced a double whammy of a dad joke:Not only is the caption on brand for Lone Star, considering that Rob Lowe portrays a fire captain, but it's also a punny take on Alicia Keys’ popular song, “Girl On Fire. ” It’s hilariously bad, but that’s how just about all dad jokes are.

Obviously, the actor’s own sons had to comment, with Lowe’s eldest son, Matthew, wondering if this was his dad’s way of trying to be like one of the cool kids by captioning a post with song lyrics:Meanwhile, Rob Lowe’s other son, John Owen, simply did not have the words for what his dad posted, and his response is quite funny:It’s always nice and funny to see that no matter how famous someone gets, they can still take the time to embarrass their children and come up with A+ puns.
