As a female version of my dad, this one hits me right in the feels
Girl same
yeah this one hurt, but like I also feel seen? idk man im upset
😫me too
Sammmmeee
I'm the female version of my dad and ..... 😭😭 Why me??
When grandma said “It’s not as if you’re unattractive to men, you’re just a little bit uglier than you should’ve been” I FELT that 😂😂😂😂😂
My whole life. Didn't hurt my younger sister was the spitting image of our mom. The whole blonde, beautiful, tall beauty queen thing.
The grandma is like horrifying
my nana used to say 'you are JUST like your father'
My moms mom ALWAYS roasted me about how masculine I was.
I got my dad's eyebrows and my mom's depression
Double threat
Same🥺🤦🏻♀️
Xu
Oh my god dying
@@tay2944 Double trouble
Some of y’all don’t realize the way toxic family members get into your head and it shows. I have a friend just like this girl, she’s incredibly beautiful to me but because she “looks more like her dad” she got immensely teased by all her family members growing up giving her incredible body image issues.
"Some of yall don't/didn't/never _______ and it shows."
+
Man thats sad
"Don't say I look manly because I resemble my dad Stanley" - not sure if that's a lyric yet but it works lol
If Mad magazine did it, it would work.
Literal LOL...
I’m stealing that because that’s my Dad’s name.
I feel like they tried really hard to convince us that an attractive person was actually not attractive.
Facts
or esther doesn't think she is
Exactly, Esther is hot I was like what?
• Marzly • says marzly the ladies man!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Billy Jack Ha, I see wasn't the only one that thought that back in the 90s
people who know my parents meet me for the first time and go "oh, she looks like her dad..." as if disappointed. and I've also heard, "wow, your mom's so pretty... you look like your dad, huh?" -___- thanks.
THATS TERRIBLE LMAOOOO
@@Shri100percent IKR HAHA
Ugh I get the second one all the time
@@dangitgrandpa5156 sad high five, girl. (I'm assuming girl given my comment and the vid lol)
@@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202 yeah I am a girl lol
i feel so attacked right now, it's not fair lol. (also yes she's not that ugly, but hollywood has this weird problem with average or "less attractive" women so...
But for a Y chromosome, I would look *exactly* like my dad. While I appreciate inheriting his grandmother's hefty german bosom (and I don't mind the family chipmunk cheeks), I also have stubby german man hands, an enormous forehead, and my hair is thinning on top. x_x
Meanwhile my mom has long elegant fingers, a huge mane of thick silver hair, and not one damn wrinkle at age 76. SO UNFAIR. (That said, glad I didn't inherit her heart & eye problems and high risks of various cancers, so.... plus side?)
"Not that ugly" lolololol sorry its hilarious how it sounds even though we all mean shes pretty attractive at least above average. But it comes out "not that ugly" lolol
I wonder if those are actually her parents because she does actually look a bit like her dad. I know they’re probably all actors but they cast it pretty well tbh
What does Hollywood have to do with it? She’s the one that wrote it and starred in it.
Zaftique What is a German ass/ what are German hands? 😂 Have you been to Germany? People have all kinds of hands and asses there, just like everywhere else. That’s such an American thing to say 😂
So everyone's grandma really destroys your self-esteem and then say "oh sweetie but I love you just the way you are 😉😘☺"
RIGHT LOL
Mine grandma actually says that I am pretty without trying to destroy my self-esteem. But usually she accentuates as the most attractive parts of me or ways of highlighting my beauty that I don't find nice or fitting. It gives really strange feeling.
I get “it’s ok that you’re not pretty like your sisters, you’re so funny!” 🤯
@@Kelly404029 that's kinda harsh as well , I'm sorry 😭
@@begemotowa well you're lucky! Show her as much love as you can, my grandma is testing me I swear 😅 but I'm trying to express my love any time I can
I feel this except with personality traits - I got my dad's anger issues, hyperactivity, immaturity, etc. Meanwhile my mom is super well-adjusted and people just naturally like being around her.
That sounds more like adhd
@@meerchlocxk Yes, I do have ADHD.
The “big forehead” part hit a little too close to home
😄Same! I grabbed my forehead and asked "Did I just get read?"
Samee
My dad always gets insulted. He says "what's wrong with looking like me?!". Nothing, if you're a MAN!
Fucking same
THIS HURTS
Ugh I feel that way too much. Yeah, this prominent chin, wide face and Thick fucking legs (including the ankles!!!) are fine for a guy, but they really make life hard as a woman. :(
@@singenstattatmen5096 Just my two cent woman with thicker legs are hot
@@singenstattatmen5096 I don't know my sister, me, and my brother look like both so I don't get it.
Relatable. I feel like I got the worst features from my parents, and their good ones are the ones I did NOT get.
SAME.
I feel seen, I have my dad's face and my mom's family history of mental illness
Are we the SAME PERSON?!!!?
It meeee
I have my dads face and my dads mental illness lol
@@vmoonbeam6571 you really hit the jackpot
same :))
I feel like many people don't get it. It's not like Ester isn't pretty, she just has a dynamic with her mom where her mom is the pretty one. Growing up hearing someone else is the pretty one can really destroy your self-esteem, even when you yourself are also pretty.
Esther Povitsky: gets called the unattractive sibling/daughter by her family *makes a music video about it*
Internet: you’re not ugly enough to complain about your looks.
lol y’all are just as judgmental as the family. i get that some of the comments are trying to reassure her or something but she’s just making this about her experience with how her family thinks and how she compares to people in her family. also it’s a comedy sketch lol
I was actually just wondering where the comedy part is... this is not a joke it’s a sad song by a grown woman with low self esteem.
VideoVoid TV It’s funny for people who relate
You and videovoid should get together and just complain about stupid shit lmao
Delilah Queen these might be actual comments she’s received. Lord knows how many untrue unwarranted comments I’ve gotten from weird family members or even strangers!
A. It wasn’t funny.
B. The premise doesn’t make sense.
3. It wasn’t funny because the premise doesn’t make sense.
People always say I look like my mom. She is Italian with a strong nose, dark eyes and olive skin. I am fair with hazel eyes and a very small nose. (More like my dad)
I never saw the resemblance and felt like maybe they think I am unattractive. Bitchy I know. But what I realized is I inherited her beautiful smile that lights up a room and that's what people see. My mother is the sweetest, kindest person I know. I wish I was more like her. She is beautiful!
This is what we as women get brainwashed into thinking. It's the same with men thinking they're not manly enough. And attacking them makes them worse.
So, you know, let her know she's hot (........................and will feel better with a good therapist).
I feel you. Everyone says I look more like my dad than my mom. I get sad that my sister looks more like my mother because she passed when I was way to young to understand and I dont remember what she looks like. It got sad at the end.
This is so funny, and I love Esther’s voice. The poor dad just smiling through it all, hahaha! Got her dad´s looks and her mom’s mood swings 🤣 That’s genetics babey! 🎲 🎲
Wow they put a lot of work into this
I relate to the family gatherings where there's one person shut away on their phone
Usually me
ah yes...thats me
Raising hand emoji
"- I have my dad's hands...
-NOBODY LOOK! NOBODY LOOK! NOBODY LOOK!"
Small hands
Where does she mention his hands or even show them? I see him holding a drink once but that’s it?
j0eycans it’s a reference to the male actor’s role in It’s Always Sunny
My dad's a tall athletic guy, my mom's a short (4'10") dancer... I'm 5'2" with a football player's shoulders... deadass the looks like my father thing really hit me hard...
For some reason that sounds hot.
Geez, when someone finally dedicates a song to me it's a callout
I love how everybody in the comments says she’s actually beautiful. I agree too ☺️
I don't see anything wrong with her dad, except maybe his hands...
If she could just put hers on top of his... his hands look pretty small on the screen. You would think the camera would add 10 lbs to his hands.
I love this
Hahaha top comment
NOBODY LOOK! NOBODY LOOK!
Underrated reference 👏
Hold on, fellas. I'm Jack Kelly. I'm a lawyer.
Can confirm. I’m as hairy as my father and look identical.
Hey, be proud. Because of his genes, you will always survive winter! That’s warrior genetics! 😂
I've been waiting for this song for my entire life
You're pretty tho.
@@Axxxel_in_Harlem the picture is small and it's all in the filters 😄😄
@@andreeaLnedelea You should say thank you, instead, buttercup.
@@Axxxel_in_Harlem 😄😄😄 sure
This hits me right in my big nose that I got from my dad
LOL, I look exactly like my dad, and I feel it's an unspoken and underrated subject even tho there are a lot of women looking like their dad, so thank you for picking the glove Esther! Always loved you, now I love you more😊
um?? is that like,, discount andrew rannells over there holding the martini???
Daaaamn! Totally! Especially before th song starts, one could seriously mistake this guy for Andrew. 😳
This is akin to a size 2 friend complaining about her "fat thighs" to me, a size 16 lady with fat thighs.
Everything is relative. Everyone is capable of feeling insecure.
Things don't get interesting till you hit size 14, as far as I'm concerned! Just live your life! ❤️
Girl I feel you the struggle is real
Especially when the setting is a ritzy party in a mansion
Just lose some weight bro
I’m apparently the perfect mix of my dad and mom.... and my sister looks like neither of them. Apparently she looks like my grandma Betty from my mom’s side and my great great grandma cordelia from my dad’s side... (Italian and Mvskoke Creek Native American). Because of that, even though we’re both white with white parents, people often ask my sister “what she is” and often gets assumed to be East Asian or Pacific Islander. It was weird growing up and getting constantly told by my peers that one of us had to be adopted bc we looked nothing alike.
Me who doesn’t look like either of my parents: 👁👄👁
Esther! She's one of my favorite comedian-actors!!!
2:08 I wonder if she has tiny hands just like her dad too.... *NOBODY LOOK*
Really, no one noticed the sunny reference
Nice lol
omg uncle Jack! didn't recognise him without his real hands
We're lawyers!
I love it so much. Ita already in my head
ooh she’s the tiny mouse voicebox girl from crazy ex girlfriend!
Fuuuck how did I never realize!
Yup 😁
Maya
"Big forehead"... 🤣
I feel personally attacked
This is the most relatable song I’ve ever heard
I lost it at "big forehead"
“I look like the daughter with no lines from Fiddler on the Roof” HFKAFHKSKVKAKDJLAPAODIPAA OH MY GOD
I can’t wait to show this to my daughter. She’s 5 now but soon. When the time is right.
the 'receding hairline' was a physical punch to the gut
As the exact female replica of my dad, this is my true pain to bear. My fear is that I would meet the guy of my dreams that actually like and wants me, but as soon at he meets my dad he runs away because where exactly the same.
My mom is 5’4 and was really popular and dated a lot when she was in high school. My dad is 6’4 and was somewhat popular and dated in high school. They also both had incredible metabolisms, and were as skinny as tooth picks.
I’m 5’10 (exactly in between them), was the opposite of popular, went on 1 bad date as a senior in my entire high school career. And I’ve been over weight since I was 12. I got my dad’s wide shoulders, long face, cheek bones, and large nose. And I got my moms eyes and big boobs.
We’re all decently attractive people, but they did not pass on their social capabilities to me.
"big forehead" hit me in the heart 😭
Jack Kelly finally settled down haha
She's a father's daughter daughter...is a very beautiful line...I'm one too
The end slayed everything 🤣🤣🤣
i got my fathers face and my mothers unhinged emotional state
Winner winner chicken dinner 😍
This is so true!! I've got all the bad things my parents have
It so freaking true .I am in tears now((
I really enjoyed this.
Like im really happy for the father caus he's happy
This was beautiful
this hit hard on another level.
That last line 😂
This is the song I've always needed. I recently shaved all my hair off and I look so much more like my dad than I ever thought I could. It's a tragedy.
OHMYGOD A SONG ABOUT ME
I've never related more to any song out there haha thank youuu
What the mom said at the end made me laugh so hard!
Yay there's a song for us now 😂
beautiful song
Relatable as hell.
Haha! Sent this to my mom and dad
In this moment I’m so thankful my father is such a pretty man. Kinda like Liv Tyler getting Steven Tyler’s lips.
I live Esther dancing vignettes lol!!
Too relatable!
wow thanks for this song just for me
At last a song I can relate to😂
This entire stand up is SOGOOD
I love her
...yes but and also great writing and music. Beautifully directed and performed.
I'm 52 and watched "Fiddler on the roof" for the first time a month ago...so, I know who you're talking about. I was deeply moved by the singing and story. I have always kinda wished I was born Jewish.
P.S. You are a stunner Esther!
I heard it at a 1.5X velocity (because I'm a very efficient procrastinator) and the song sounded even better.
It just hit me! She's in that CAKE BROWSER RUclips AD!!!!!!!!!!
And her mum's in SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH HOLY SHMOKES
I was reading the comments and was like “haha, yeah she is pretty” and then I saw the dad is the same dude who plays uncle jack in its always sunny and I sorta just lost my shit
Loved Esther in CEG !!!!
Lol!! The editing and lighting effects are great!
Girl me too relatable
I would send this to my dad but I don't want to hurt his feelings 😕
Yup I can relate.
As a dad of a 22 year old daughter.... this song makes me happy cry.
I felt this shit hard 🤣 I have 2 older sisters, one is prettier(the 2nd one) and people always say "Hey, your sister is so pretty. Ah you look like ur first sister eh." Yey nice
Dude this is so damn catchy. I keep listening to it in the car.
Haha. I came to the right place. I have struggled with this my whole life :(
I had so much anxiety and trouble with and still do. Mostly my mother is small and waif-like thin and my Dad is hefty and “cro-magnon”. A little bit of a stomach he has too. One part I like is I am taller like him. I don’t have much of a stomach because I watch it. Or I feel I have to anyway. In my youth I made the mistake of dieting at a young age because my friends were doing it and I thought I needed it. I had pudgy cheeks. Yep, my Dad has those too. Ended up turning into eating disorder :(
I hope I can get over it. The eating disorder never got severe but it definitely hurt my bones I think since I wasn’t getting enough calories or protein.
Motto: just be thankful for what you have been given.
I am 39 and I’m finally making peace with it and now my goal is to eat til I’m full, with a well rounded unrestricted diet and exercise until I feel satisfied (not until I am depleted or exhausted).
So far my almost full cheeks came back but I have more color in them then when I was thinner and I noticed my bones are getting stringer.
I don’t care what I look like as long as I feel healthy. At almost 40 years old, I am starting to feel our bodies have their limits so just love yours since it is simply here to help you get done everything you need to do. Take care of it.
Sending you love and light! A bit late but still…
painfully relatable
Oh - she's singing my existence. I also got my dad's AUTISM!! Yippee!!
The side burns line hit me deep 😭
I felt this. I look like my dad wearing a woman’s wig.
I look almost exactly like my dad, which I don't mind having that bone structure I just wish I hadn't inherited his slow metabolism and chronic acne
This made me laugh
"I got my dad's weird flat ass" I can relate 😭
It's a bop
I think I’m in love.
Oh crap. This hits
Me too! I look just like my dad! 😂🤣
omfg. i feel so attacked 😭😭
i came to have good time, not be personally attacked in my own home
I love Esther but you’re funny, too 😂
I can relate. I got my Dad’s bone structure which means I have
- knocked knees
- scoliosis
- crooked fingers
- and some of the most jacked up teeth of all time, thank god my dentist declared it a medical emergency so our insurance would cover my braces
I also got his soft spoken voice and his humor which is actually pretty fun
My brother looks like my mom and I look like my dad...guess which one of us has had girlfriends?
@K J 👉👉 yep
