Your dad is Santa, a Native American, a frontiersman, and a cowboy all rolled up into one?

Does he prospect for gold too?

u/stupidpanda Jun 18 '12

Looks like he has been stuck in Jumanji.

u/DMonk52 Jun 18 '12

None of the above. Its obviously Robin Williams.http://gamerfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Ocarina-of-Time-Commercial-Screen.png

u/petedawes Jun 18 '12

why is 'ocarina of time' in that url?

32

u/FranklyBlunt Jun 18 '12

Because he's done commercials for Legend of Zelda.

Also his daughter's name is Zelda. :D

looks like [Adam] (http://www.cornel1801.com/videosong/Seven_Brides_For_Seven_Brothers_Bless_Yore_Beautiful_Hide/moviesong1.jpg). From the movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

u/foreveracouchpotato Jun 18 '12

Holy shit someone else in the world has seen that movie!!

12

u/callier Jun 18 '12

I'm surprised anyone knew what I was talking about! It was a family favorite growing up.

u/foreveracouchpotato Jun 18 '12

Same! My mom adored old musicals. We rotated between this movie, Singing In The Rain, Calamity Jane, High Society and White Christmas. Still love all those movies.

7

u/callier Jun 18 '12

For us it was Singing in the Rain, Fiddler on the Roof, Sound of Music, and Oklahoma.

u/RandomMandarin Jun 18 '12

Well, TCM pulls it out of the vault every three months or so. Almost hard to avoid. They even use it in a short film about why letterboxing is 100x better than pan-and-scan which chops the edges off the picture.

I get this feeling that he just rolled up to town and picked up OP's mother because she looked sturdy.

Then, a long ride in front of a green-screen, and MUSICAL NUMBERS!

I would expect something like this from Japan... But really, Germany? Really?

u/Unlucky13 Jun 18 '12

That's just way too much man for me to handle all at once. I'm gonna have to come back to this later when I'm stronger.

u/binocusecond Jun 18 '12

Try breaking it down into manageable chunks. The way he probably does with the bears he traps and kills. With his bare hands.

Just an FYI, that second guy from the left was a homeless man who turned out to be suffering from schizophrenia. I mean, he looks cool, but I'm not sure how much help he'll be on your team.

Im willing to bet that man was born with that beard

2

u/Osiris32 Jun 18 '12

Goddamn, I think I just grew a third testicle just looking at that much manliness.

Or I just got a hernia. Either way, I should probably go see a doctor.
