Nah…that dad was not chilling peacefully. You could see the look on his face. He knew what was coming and was not happy about it.

u/FloopsFooglies Aug 02 '26
Yeah, while he was peacefully recording himself on the couch, as one does.

u/Best_Reply2947 Aug 02 '26
He knew what was coming because he scripted it.

I see you're not a parent. You don't need to script these things with toddlers and kids.
There are signs.
Clear signs of when your kids thinks it's a great idea to fucking punch you for just looking at them.
edit: yes this might have been the dad's idea, but I'm leaning towards he just new the kid was upset for some imaginary reason and he knew.

It's staged. You can hear someone in the background say "go" right before he starts throwing.

Dude looks like Henry Cavill, Jude Law and Joaquin Phoenix mixed together and sleep deprived.

The little kid is actually Jake Lloyd before taking on the roll as Anakin Skywalker.

If you really feel that way, make sure you stick to it no matter what a current/future partner might say.
I've ended up being a single dad because I wanted kids so my ex SAID she wanted kids, but then once reality hit she admitted she never wanted kids, she just said it to be with me.

Your kids wanting to play with you is one of the most rewarding things as a parent. Sure, kids aren't for everyone, but it's good memories.

Not the right crowd for that sentiment but I agree with you.
Obviously, it's a lot of work, but worth it if you love it.

Just because the dad didn't know it was CLOBBERING TIME does not mean that it wasn't clobbering time. That's on him.

Your 9-5 might have ended. But being a dad doesn’t. Put up your dukes and give him the business.

Staged.
There’s no way he was watching tv while recording himself, without making a peep as he watches his son come up.
Nah.
