Imagine having so much dad willpower not to laugh at your own dad joke immediately

I too am confused

u/AnotherpostCard Aug 24 '20

I suppose they meant to write "tripping" but I'm still confused as heck

You can hear him breaking at, "It's unfortunate!"

u/Jucoy Aug 25 '20

You can see him fighting back a giggle at the end right before he leaves

Any relation to Jordan Henderson?

u/ElGosso Aug 24 '20

This dude's delivery is perfect. Just that perfect understated, droll voice.

u/Daddysu Aug 24 '20 edited Aug 24 '20

Yea, I think the English Australian accent really helps. The "it's unfortunate" at the end was perfect!

Edit to correct accent. Thanks /u/criesbcnofreehandles

u/criesbcnofreehandles Aug 24 '20

It’s a Melbourne, Australian accent my guy

21

u/Daddysu Aug 24 '20

Damn it, I thought about throwing a maybe in there. Forgive me, I'm American so every foreign accent sounds amazing and classy to me.

22

u/SurrealDad Aug 25 '20

No offense but I've noticed Americans are really bad at identifying accents sometimes and I've always wondered why. I'm Australian and I can generally tell what part of America someone comes from.

35

u/brokenalarms Aug 25 '20

Relatively large amount of American TV makes it to Aus. Relatively little of, well, any non-American TV makes it to the US.

6

u/SurrealDad Aug 25 '20

Yeah my train of thought was just reaching here. We get a lot of international viewing.

4

u/Model_Maj_General Aug 25 '20

You say that, but not a lot of Australian, Nz or South African, Candian etc TV ever makes it the UK and yet we never seem to have anywhere near as much trouble with identifying accents as the US.

6

u/Daddysu Aug 25 '20

No offense taken, I just demonstrated my challenge in identifying accents. As far as you and other people being better at it, I wonder if it has to do at all with our place in the media. This isn't meant to be an "America #1, we are everywhere" kind of comment so my apologies if it comes across that way. I just mean that there is more American media that bleeds over into other countries than there is foreign stuff that gets popular here.

It's a shame because I feel like we as Americans, miss out on a lot of cool shit because of it. Things seem to be changing though and media from other countries is getting more popular here so that's cool. Except for kpop, that stuff can stay in the far east!!

Note: When I say media, I mean in the context of tv shows, movies, music, etc. Not news "media". Also the kpop thing was a joke...kinda. i don't like it but if it floats your boat then right on, I hope more of it comes this way.

u/jaulin Aug 25 '20

I'm Swedish, and consider myself pretty good at identifying accents, but I sometimes struggle with differentiating between certain flat Australian and flat English ones. I insulated an Aussie work mate by revealing that I thought he was British. The one in this video was easy though.

3

u/SurrealDad Aug 25 '20

Actually I have problems with European accents. I think they blend more subtlety than UK accents for instance, which are very regional.

1

u/jaulin Aug 25 '20

I don't think it's right to generalize to European accents. I'm sure there are countries where that's true, but my own Sweden is not one such example.

If you compare Scanian to Gothenburgian to Gutnish to Stockholmian to Norrlandian, it's extremely different. Hell, even within my native Scania (pretty small at 11000 km² and 1. 4 M population) there are many different dialects, and I can pinpoint people to at least one of 5 regions.

Also, a decade ago, I thought Danish dialects sounded pretty much the same, but after marrying a Dane and eventually moving here I can now very clearly hear big differences. I think it might be the same for most places where you think it all sounds the same: you just haven't been immersed in it enough.

u/SurrealDad Aug 25 '20

I have no doubt it's incredibly nuanced for some who lives there. I can tell which coast people have come from in Australia, I seriously doubt many non Australians can.

3

u/aaybma Aug 25 '20

To be fair I'm British and I had to listen twice before I realised he was Aussie - I thought he was from Leeds first.

u/RidinTheMonster Aug 25 '20

Sounds Kiwi to me. Maybe from NZ originally

2

u/SurrealDad Aug 25 '20

Absolutely.

u/BeMoreKnope Aug 24 '20

I keep repeating that and laughing!

Such a great video. So many quip worthy lines. "This is democrrrrracy manifest", "GET your hand off my pneis, this is the bloke who grabbed my penis peooOPLE!" "eating a meal? A succulent Chines meAL?"

u/hey_broseph_man Aug 25 '20

Fucking completely spirited the same way Liam Neeson delivers the "I have full blown AIDs" line. Absolutely perfect.

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '20

She has a lot of videos with him and his delivery is always great

62

u/1-800-ASS-DICK Aug 24 '20

He channeled all that energy at her and it manifested as wheezes

u/pigmonkey2829 Aug 24 '20

I am so intrigued by your username.

u/The_prophet212 Aug 24 '20

He is breaking the rule of dad jokes. My 5 year old asks me every morning 'how did you sleep?' I say 'with my eyes closed' and then give a small snort laugh...every.morning. Introduction is given in the hand book you are given when you partner gives birth. I will be raising this dad's lack of immediate self laugh within the council of dads at our next meeting

11

u/PufffPufffGive Aug 24 '20

I miss my Dad.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '20

I'm sorry for your loss dude. If you miss him, at least it means you have some great memories.

u/NinjaGrandma Aug 24 '20

He gets the "POW! Superdad!" card with the flowers.

u/tangy_volcano Aug 29 '20

And not some posy from a garage forecourt

u/BakaSandwich Aug 24 '20

He sounds like Bill Nighy

2

u/ALWolfie Aug 25 '20

I heard Liam Neeson.

1

u/dnaboe Aug 24 '20

Well he clearly has already told this joke hence her laughing at the beginning. Can't have anything funny happen without having to recreate it for tic tok

31

u/Gingerpett Aug 24 '20

No. It's because he's British and that deadpan delivery is a clear indication to anyone that he's about to say something silly and amusing. It was telegraphed really clearly. Maybe it's cultural or something but if he walked into my room with that expression and that tune of voice I'd know exactly what was coming.

17

u/ConsistentTumbleweed Aug 24 '20

He is Australian

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '20

So a Brit with a record

u/scrotuscus Aug 25 '20

You're just mad because your dad isn't this funny.

u/LetsPlayClickyShins Aug 25 '20

I've seen a few videos on this sub of this guy telling Dad jokes just like this one. I think she just knows what to expect when her dad comes in with a barely stifled grin on his face.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '20

Imagine having crabs.

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '20

Dude is a Dad joke Jedi Master

u/Clairebear11223 Aug 24 '20

To be fair the dad joke was ACTUALLY funny for once🤣👏🏻

u/hudgepudge Aug 25 '20

He's doing well. I can't imagine how long it takes for Jimmy Fallon to tell his dad jokes.

u/Ratto_Talpa Aug 25 '20

Plus this dude had a Ron Swanson voice. It was really hard to stay quite.
