Uh, dad? Did you ever stop for one second and think that your kid might actually want to PLAY WITH HIS TOY rather than send it into space on a balloon? Ugh. Some dads are just so selfish. It’s like all they ever think about is sending their kid’s toy into space on a balloon with a camera and GPS device on it, and then it’s like all they ever think about is making that into a cute video about it for the Internet. Gross. Just so gross. (Via TastefullyOffensive.)

The fuck is Thomas supposed to do up there? I don’t know if he needs oxygen or not, but I’m sure he’d like to at least have a place to roll around!
In space no one can hear you steam.
And so begins satellite pollution…
Sorry to be the commenting Scrooge here, but WHO THE HELL THINKS OF CUTE INTERNET VIDEOS AND THEN PUTS IN THE HOURS OF WORK TO MAKE A CUTE AND HEARTFELT INTERNET VIDEO!?!? Can’t cute things be, instead, natural and not captured on video and sans a whistled-tune to go along with it?!!? And poor kid, he loved that toy!
Yeah, I felt like an old person when I was at a concert this week and people were recording their favorite songs on video on their cell phone… just enjoy the moment! Capture the MEMORY! Also, please get off my lawn.
I’m right there with you about putting away your phone and enjoying the moment.
But the other thing about it that puzzles me is this – when are you going to go back and watch the shitty cell phone video of three minutes of a concert? What’s the end game here?
What if this becomes the dad equivalent to obsessive scrap booking? Like they’ll be so into making these twee videos that they’re literally only around to film the moments and then the rest of the day is spent putting stuff together on the Mac so they can put it online…
Also this is probably what happened afterward:
Int. Home
MOM comes in with groceries and her laptop bag after a long 12-hour day.
KID: Hey mommy!
MOM: Hi honey, how was your day? BEAT Um, honey, where’s your Thomas train?
KID: Daddy sent him to space.
MOM: Oh, did he now? Are you okay with that? Not having Thomas anymore?
KID: Daddy made a video about it with the whistle-song he recorded. Wanna see?
MOM: Sure, just let me talk to your daddy first. Go ahead and set it up though.
KID: Okay!
MOM walks into the kitchen where DAD is looking smug and tired.
MOM: What were you doing today?
DAD: We sent the Thomas Train to space and made a video.
MOM: (in a quieter voice) You know how much he loves that toy. He’s going to be crying tonight, and he’ll be sleeping in our bed!
DAD: Listen, we worked really hard to make that video. It took me forever to come up with that whistled tune. Can’t you be happy for me?! I set a goal and I made it.
KID: (in the distance) Mommy! It’s ready, come and watch.
MOM: (yelling) Be right there! (to DAD): I’ll deal with you later.
END
Wait… he got the toy back, no?
I’ll be completely honest. When I saw the pillsbury-faced train go into space AND make a face at me, I pressed pause and began commenting.
Please someone tell me they can explain how the toy train appears to be sentient. This is going to bother me all day.
Oh it just is I think
Also this is video that will give me great ideas for future punishment for future children. “You can’t clean up your toys, I’m just going to SEND THEM TO SPACE!!!!”
Ohhh, your favorite gerbil pooped on the floor again? SPACE.
Wait wait wait, what the fuck was up with that thing’s monster face? Is that added post production? Or is the toy itself possessed by the soul of a serial killer, chucky style? Either way, AAAAAAAAAAAH.
I was wondering that myself. I think R2, LBT and I would like an answer. Thank you!
It’s like I’m the only person who’s seen the documentary Toy Story in here.
” Get that fucking pillsbury monster faced thing out of my face dad ! ” – the kid
” allright, son” – overprotective dad
I assume Dad has some experience with motion graphics – After Effects and what not.
“THE TOY KEEPS MAKING FACES AT ME, DAD. SEND IT INTO SPACE!!!”
Look at all these Negative Nancy comments!! Am I the only one who thought it was cute to see a dad and his kid playing together and learning about science and engineering and being OUTDOORS for pete’s sake? I could have done without the whistle song, but I thought the face-animation was super sweet though. When Stanley got a little sadface when the balloon fell!! AHHH, too cute!
ALRIGHT! SORRY. No more negative comments for the rest of the day!
The kid was seriously adorable. The Stay Puff Marshmallow expressions on Stanley? Terrifying.
Thank you “Old Man Fatima” – you are the only who gets this right. What’s wrong with all you people outthere to negate the whole video. What a great learning experience for a kid, involving true science (from why is the balloon able to carry Thomas to who does GPS work that we can find Thomas), questions of faith (space, the universe) and bonding with his dad – and if dad was clever enough he had his son even participating in the post-production, the videomaking – where he learned even more.
This is a great idea, with a great result and I think some of the comments are just pure jealousy, of either not being able to this for their kids…. oh well I guess I shouldn’t have expected anything else from nonfunctional Americans who send their kids to be raised by the Xbox….
I choo choo choose another Dad.
Is radioactivity a concern at all?
“This isn’t really all that original. I’m probably older than most of you here, but some 40 years ago when I was a boy my dad strapped my favorite toy to a rocket and launched it into space. It even made the local news and everything because space travel was still a really big deal back then. Unfortunately, this was long before GPS so after it came back down we didn’t have a good way to find it again. I spent the rest of my life trying to track down where it ended up. It was only a few weeks ago that I was reading the paper and finally found out what had eventually happened with my favorite toy… Neil Armstrong.”
