My moms house had a keyless lock while it was being renovated, and having her and 3 other adults between 50 and 75 try to open it for fifteen minutes before letting me do it and getting it open on the first try was hilarious
Plot twist: Nancy knows exactly how to open the door but doesn't offer to help because she knows that doing so would severely threaten her husband's masculinity.
I don't even think it's a plot twist: it's just a fact! I'm _so grateful_ my dad doesn't see asking for help or directions as an affront to his masculinity. Reading some of these comments makes me want to send him a card: "Dear Dad, thank you for understanding that asking for assistance doesn't mean you're less of a man." I don't think Hallmark carries those, though...
I just love the detail of the repeated "jerko" -- captures perfectly how a frustrated dad's vocabulary will be reduced to one pat insult, used so liberally that hearing it produces an anxious response for the rest of your life...
My dad has "flipping dogs", especially when he's woodworking, but also once a guy with mirrored sunglasses cut him off in traffic and his response was "watch it, Mirror Boy!"
This is identical to the keyless entry my grandparents use, and not _once_ have they successfully opened the door with it. They have had it for two years.
The feeling of your dad failing at something so that you know you’re abt to spend the next 10 minutes in silent agony while he tries fixing it is universal
the ghost of the two cocktails i was allowed on my family self-catered accommodation holidays fizzle into terrified sobriety all over again when the flashlight caught the folder
He couldn't write the password down in case some hacker would see it and break into the cabin and after all, his memory is super sharp. He knows at least the 6 first numbers in pi, that are in his opinion 3.141679. Don't look that up.
Your comment made me giggle-snort. I remember the numbers of π because it was part of a sports cheer at my college (we didn't excel at sports, obviously).
@@jospinner1183 Ah, I see you're from my alma mater! I could be wrong: if I'm mistaken about the cheer being original to a PNW hippie/hipster liberal arts school with a functioning student-run nuclear reactor 😉 And I realized made a mistake in my 1st comment: our poor aptitude for sports didn't apply to every student! During my years (2000-2004) our women's rugby team kicked *major* ass. I think we did well in a couple fencing and aikido tournaments during those years, but the gals on our rugby team were in-cre-di-ble.
The facial expressions... the simultaneous use of the flashlight and sunglasses... the frustrated bursts of paternal rage... immaculate. Chris has obviously put a lot of work into this video, researching dad behaviours and observing dads in their natural habitats. It really paid off!
they saw a movie. the sun was out when they left, now it’s too dark. he already once complained how hard it was to find the car in the dark parking lot. it took a while. now they finally made it home. scene commence
the pause between him taking his jacket off and him throwing it on the ground had me on the edge of my seat like a dog after you say "who wants to go for a walk?" and before you say "is it you?"
1:29 - 1:37 is so fluid and makes so much natural sense that it makes me wonder if these are movements vital to human expression that were just lost in the sands of time until now
The people over at Schlage are FUMING. “It’s ‘shleg’ not “shLOGeeeee’!” This flashlight facing backwards…I just caught it on my third watch and I’m DYING 😂😂😂
As someone that used to work as a locksmith, I can validate that this is 100% accurate. Dude literally paid me to come get them in their house, yet the first thing he says when I arrive is "H-Hold on I gotta try one more time..."
This is the pre game to the part where I'd finally be ordered to fix the _"obviously broken"_ lock, with dad's barely contained seething rage as I complete and explain each simple step too quickly for him to write down in a big clumsy notebook that he would later misplace (again). Jerko was great btw. Dad's usual word here was jackpot; in lieu of saying jerkoff because good Christians don't swear. Your tone of voice is so perfect it's uncanny. Thank you for inducing that wonderful sense of resigned anxiety and dread in me again.
Chris I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you’re a comedic genius. Not just a national treasure (I’m not from the states anyway), but a treasure of the world for sure 😌
The phone being the wrong way round so that the flashlight didn't help at all is what elevates this to modern art
Well that's why he needed the sunglasses
And once he had the sunglasses, he shone the light the right way XD
I died 🤣🤣🤣
Reminds me of the interrogation scene from Seinfeld, when the interrogator shines the heat lamp on himself
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The tragedy of a baby boomer father being betrayed and humiliated by the device he installed is just breathtaking to witness.
and incredibly hilarious
Me explaining why I wish god were defeated in Paradise Lost
I imagine they’re at an Airbnb on a family vacation. This hits a little too close to home..
The chaotic internal rage of failing at your own keyless lock is spot on.

THE NUMBER OF TIMES THIS HAPPENS TO ME AS I'M WATCHING MY DAD STRUGGLE...BUT I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING...IT'S PHYSICALLY PAINFUL...
Plot twists he forgot to lock in the first place
I just love the detail of the repeated "jerko" -- captures perfectly how a frustrated dad's vocabulary will be reduced to one pat insult, used so liberally that hearing it produces an anxious response for the rest of your life...
My dad would say stupid when he got mad but he would like drag out the s so when every he started going this is sssssstupid we know he was pissed
my dad's was "Guy" hardest G you'll ever hear in your life. "cmon GUY!"
My dad's is numbskull lol it's usually directed at people on the tv or cvs
My dad has "flipping dogs", especially when he's woodworking, but also once a guy with mirrored sunglasses cut him off in traffic and his response was "watch it, Mirror Boy!"
my step dads is shit lips, born after a particularly bad case of road rage. hearing it to this day makes me laugh
he can play so many differently shaped ppl it's astounding
It's because his bones are non-newtonian
He is both the clay and the sculptor

This is identical to the keyless entry my grandparents use, and not _once_ have they successfully opened the door with it. They have had it for two years.
My grandfather would have had a much more spectacular meltdown than this video portrayed, and that's no joke.
Then how do they get in
@@Rose-qn2ed it still has a keyhole
They're homeless now 🙏🏻
I assume this means they haven't been anywhere together for 5 years now because one of them always has to be home to let the other one in.
my anxiety went right up as soon as the first "aw christ" hit, brought back so many memories
The feeling of your dad failing at something so that you know you’re abt to spend the next 10 minutes in silent agony while he tries fixing it is universal
it was 15 seconds in and i lost it 💀💀💀
you just slowly inch away and wonder if you should offer to help
@@julianm4176 and then you offer to help. and he yells at you.
but if you walk away then within minutes he gets angry at you because you weren’t there to hold the flashlight for him
My dad isn't even like this and yet somehow I still relate.
My dad died when I was nine and I still relate as well.
That’s the power of Fleming.
ditto, except i was 11. add to it that my dad was from mass and this is. spot on, 10/10 dad
The soft, resigned "jesus christ" hits really deep
I think everyone's dad is like this with *something*. For mine it's his like 8 Alexas
I don’t even have a dad but I can still relate
Poor Nancy. She’s had to put up with this kinda crap goin on 50 years.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
When he pulled out the folder for the WiFi password... I felt that
the ghost of the two cocktails i was allowed on my family self-catered accommodation holidays fizzle into terrified sobriety all over again when the flashlight caught the folder
🤣🤣🤣🤣
one time we locked ourselves out of our house and my dad swiftly assumed this exact character and broke in through the window
Omg I just LOLed IRL.
Same. And that window didn’t get fixed for months
The fact that he says "Nancy" makes me think this actually happened to Chris's dad.
Chris’s dad is named joe so yeah probably
he's having war flashbacks again
He couldn't write the password down in case some hacker would see it and break into the cabin and after all, his memory is super sharp. He knows at least the 6 first numbers in pi, that are in his opinion 3.141679. Don't look that up.

It's 3.14159 and I only know that because that's my dad's debit card PIN and has been since the 90's 😂
The camera person I mean “wife” trying not to laugh is also a nice touch

you're funny
how is it that this flightless bird so perfectly captures the essence of every middle aged parent
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i have two moms and this still resonated with me on a deep emotional level
grew up with a single mom and i feel you, moms absolutely can have dad energy
@@ezrawallet my mom who’s a single parent making up for the lack of a father by making enough dad jokes that we don’t even need one 💀
this transported me back to when i was 8 watching my dad freak out over our hotel room door when they had just started using electronic cards for keys
pippa - until your comment, I had DEEPLY buried the SAME incident in MY life. 👀
Oh GODS same. Now, at least, I remember. I do remember now.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally the male version of gayle
Mayle
theyre from alternate timelines
Her long lost cousin
We missed these Chris, so so so much. Your humor is unmatched.
as someone who frequently blasts the camera flashlight directly into their own eyes i feel a sense of kinship and solidarity with this good man
Its a gradual ascension into insanity on par with the greats, such as the Shining.
The grimace while trying to see/read was so spot on. It's those little details that make these skits so perfect.
This is the type of minute-content TikTok wanted so desperately to be

Well, he is also on tiktok...

Is the same dad who will have a temper tantrum cause he hit his knee on the table in the middle of Bertucci's lunch rush???
I'm guessing it's the same one who had an existential crisis when he said "Love you, bye" to his Chris's soccer coach?

@@MsFuzzipoo i think sooooo

the denouement being a rogue Bluetooth connection is utterly perfect

your experiences are not universal, but i do understand somehow
the pause between him taking his jacket off and him throwing it on the ground had me on the edge of my seat like a dog after you say "who wants to go for a walk?" and before you say "is it you?"
only the highest of art could ever make me this viscerally uncomfortable.
They say great art disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed...
I think Chris disturbs the disturbed; It may be that he has transcended art.
looks like the modern film adaptation of who's afraid of virginia woolf is coming along great
you know it's gonna be good when chris breaks out the founding father wig
Calling happy feet a film really makes this even more magical
And when the world needed him the most he came back
The return of the phrase "Jesus joe" is iconic
I haven't spoken to my father in 7 years and yet this is very relatable
Chris knows exactly how to change the perspective of uncomfortable/mundane things in life and turn them into an absolute hoot.
I mean I am still discomforted 😂
Imagine if it was a thermostat.
It would be done without even needing to look. While shouting about not being made of money.
The strained grimace was the perfect representation of every stressed father/husband everywhere
For the past few days I've been fighting the urge to call everything Schloggy
the dad reading face is pure genius
On his way back from Bagera Bread after his pit stop at Artbucks Coffee Palace for his daily grand black coffee
“Jerko” rehydrated so many brain cells from my childhood
This is exactly how my mom is. Last night she looked right at our WiFi name on her phone and asked if it was ours. When SHE NAMED IT!! 😭
As someone who grew up without a dad.......... I feel like I gained all I needed right here
I haven’t been this early since Jan worked at H&R Block
some say the Happy Feet trailer is still playing to this day
You've finally got what it takes to be a father. I'm so proud of you bud.
The light tap on the wall after throwing the jacket is certainly the level of rage containment I need in my life.
the noises after “yeah it was a great night” were ABSOLUTELY spot on sad noises. obsessed.
Oh this is this best thing I could get today!!! Omg thank you thank you!!
“I know I made up the code Nancy”
This was my dad when we were staying at an Airbnb in Seattle last year. He struggled for so long but then my mom did it in like four seconds
1:29 - 1:37 is so fluid and makes so much natural sense that it makes me wonder if these are movements vital to human expression that were just lost in the sands of time until now
It’s the frackin’ grippy gloves 🧤 for me
The people over at Schlage are FUMING.
“It’s ‘shleg’ not “shLOGeeeee’!”
This flashlight facing backwards…I just caught it on my third watch and I’m DYING 😂😂😂
I didn't realize the flashlight was backwards until I read the comments... in my defense: I just woke up!
i didn't know what schloge meant but now i get it lol
It’s true! The moment my father doesn’t get something right the first time he must bring out a plethora of tools and a flashlight that I have to hold.
Same! 🤣
The fact that he used his actual parents’ names makes me believe his dad really did this
Somehow just the soft "...ahhh, okay..." in the beginning absolutely sent me
The faces made while trying to read the WiFi password were spot on
"If I just hit Schloggy....."
This made me laugh so much Chris, the laundry room at my apartment complex has a 'Schloggy' button as well 😂😂😂
Weird I don't remember Chris renting a cabin with me and my dad but this video shows he was CLEARLY there with us...
He's always holding about four bags and doesn't need your help with them don't forget that
The heavy breathing and dad noises are what truly takes this video to the next level
melissa laughing quitely while filming is what makes this video so realistic to me sgjjfk great job!
As someone that used to work as a locksmith, I can validate that this is 100% accurate. Dude literally paid me to come get them in their house, yet the first thing he says when I arrive is "H-Hold on I gotta try one more time..."
Every time he says "schloggy" I laugh harder and harder
The getting frustrated and immediately starting to throw belongings on the ground is resonates to an incomparable degree.
"It's a video of penguins!" had me rolling 💜
This feels like it’s 10 minutes long and I love it
meanwhile the children or grandchildren have let themselves into the house and gotten themselves a snack
It’s like you KNOW my dad- this is art, and distressing lol 😂 thank you Chris, your talents astound me as usual ✨
the pause before the jacket whip sends me ☠️☠️☠️
Nice voice acting in adventure time ! Perfect fit for the show. 👍🏼
"Motorboat me Joe. Pfffff. Ohh. Joe. JOE!"
This made my year- no, week--nono, LIFETIME. THIS MADE MY DAY AND LIFETIME 🥰 Love you Chris 🙏🏻💕

My grandparents are still very abled, but stuff like this is one of the reasons why I live with them 😂
I'm dad. This is me at every air bnb ever.
What makes this brilliant skit hit even harder for me is that Nancy is my moms name. Chris you’ve effectively portrayed my day to day reality
I've never seen a number pad door on a house, but somehow it still just makes sense that this is exactly what dads would do with it.
His 'dad face' is astoundingly accurate
Having the flashlight pointed into his own eyes.....beautiful
Chris always posts videos right around when I forget Chris exists
I don't remember signing a waiver to give you permission to record my 76 year old father like this
So much joy... so much joy this person brings to me.
i don't know why, but the wifi password being happyfeet is an incredibly deep cut.
The camerawoman trying her very, *very* hardest not to laugh really establishes a mood for this video.
Chris I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you’re a comedic genius. Not just a national treasure (I’m not from the states anyway), but a treasure of the world for sure 😌
for some reason the add of Amy Schumer putting a tampon in her mouth that happened right after this video makes so much sense
When he pulls out the briefcase I died
I love your dad with every fiber of my being ❤️
This is why my dad will never get a keyless lock. I can just hear his frustration, and it sounds just like this.
I thought Bonnie's husband was more skilled in using Bluetooth
Thank you from the bottom of my ❤
The fact that nancy is my moms name makes this even more authentic for me
Just noticed the cameraperson is quietly holding in laughter LOL
The accidental googling of the Happy Feet trailer triggered my fight or flight.
