It’s always fun on a friend’s birthday to do a simple YouTube search for “Happy Birthday” and your friend’s name and to then send them the link as their e-card. For example. But the same is also true for Father’s Day. Just search for “Happy Father’s Day” and your dad’s name and you are sure to turn up an unexpected gem he will definitely love. (Promise. There is no way he will not love whatever weird video that someone else’s loving family actually took time to make for him that you spent 30 seconds searching for on YouTube based on a half-joking blog post on a site he has never heard of and never wants to hear of instead of putting actual effort into showing him some kind of genuine symbol of your love and respect.) What else were you going to do? Call him and have some tense, emotionally-withholding conversation about barbecue?

Better. Father’s Day 2010, you guys. Never forget.

  3. Have a Happy Father’s Day, Mosnters! If you can’t find a youtube with your dad’s name, I’m sure he’d appreciate a gif instead.

  4. Guess what stings, Gabe? GETTING NO RESULTS FOR MY NAME. And on my very first Father’s Day!

    Promise: broken.

  5. I seriously expected him to get hit in the balls at some point.

    I’m kinda disappointed now.

  6. The Internet has tainted me. I watched that video fully expecting him to get hit in the balls or accidentally knock one of the kids down or for the TV to break or something. About a second after it finished, my lizard brain went, “Oh, it’s supposed to be heartwarming” at which point I had to re-watch. Thanks for making me a monster, Internet.

  7. I would send this to my dad, but instead of teaching me that laughter was the best medicine, he taught me to repress all human emotion.

    Of course, we are midwestern lutherans. It’s just how we roll.

  8. My brother and I used to play this same game with my dad, but it wasn’t very fun. In fact, it was pretty scary.

  9. And if you can’t find anything on YouTube, try looking for their name on findagrave.com
