I love how the clothes made him age 20 years.

[@thediamondavenger2657]

Actually, a lot of Dad’s want the electric over the gas and they can stop complaining about the gas prices

[@iamwhumxn6153]

After 3 years of marriage every man becomes this

[@TheBrownSys]

Not true. The good ones use gasoline in their mowers.

[@bvictory5698]

Pshhh. 3 years married, 4 kids and I have a reel mower. Lmao, I get to spend an extra 3 hours mowing.

[@laverdadbuscador]

I've been married for 15yrs and I thought I was one. I said it in front of my wife, kids, and some friends I had over and they laughed hysterically at me. Apparently (according to them) I'm far from "basic".

[@indonesianaspie5279]

I'm gay and I LOVE MEN SO MUCH HELP ME

[@badazz2969]

@@TheBrownSys very true what's the fun in mowing the lawn if you can't fight the carbureted beast on an early cool spring morning??

[@Swagtothetenth5]

“ I left some gas in there for ya” “thanks baby” 🤣🤣

[@TestifyApologetics]

"I'm not getting a gut I'm just putting a shed over my tools" 😂🤣

[@The_Cooler_Will]

Every dad knows that attire is comfortable as hell lol

[@ashleyvaala3562]

You just trolled the shit out of my husband. EVERYTHING but the white new balance. The before attire, the after, coors, the gut, the polos with shorts and phone clip. Big headphones when he mows... everything. Lmfao this is great

[@MC4D.]

Sounds like he's ready for the white new balaance

[@jessicaweeks5621]

I can bet ur husband is 200+lbs, high blood pressure and a hidden drinking habit…. And he is slipping his eel into the neighbor or your sister…. Ur husband has wanted a divorce after 18 months being with ur lazy thighs…

[@penguins.227]

It's been 8 months Ashley, where are the New Balances

[@joannabusinessaccount7293]

Sleeping everywhere, shorts, dad gut, dad outfits, dad jokes - omg - omg - you’ve described the man of the household to a T!!!!!!

[@loudtyper]

Now we need Basic Wife. I told myself I would never be one of those wives that would make everyone's lunches and organize the calendar. . .I started doing it this year!!!

[@johnnyv9024]

Basic mom

[@augustinradac1749]

Basic moms are special and lovely

[@horatiohuffnagel7978]

Family glue. Be proud.

[@briannarichardson9511]

You are what I aspire to be.

[@watermelonwonders5213]

What's wrong with making lunches and organizing the calendar?

[@davidcattin7006]

You went right from young dad to old geezer as soon as you put on the white New Balance.

[@jocelyneke6445]

I miss my dad. He had shirts (long and short sleeve) like the blue one. I think they're golf shirts. And when my dad fell asleep, he called it a sinking spell. He taught me how to mow a yard and lots more.

[@nathanskroch3605]

The basic dad cackle is the best thing on this channel, and this channel has a LOT of great stuff on it.

[@ashleypnw6922]

When I mart my husband In his 20s, he said lawns were stupid and stuck goats in them to keep down the grass. Now in his mid 30s, he is about to upgrade to his dream zero turn driving lawn mower and our yard gets bigger every year.

[@TheJonathanc82]

I am a basic dad. I have accepted this after 17.5 years of marriage and two daughters.

[@ProfessionalGasLighting]

The half mowed lawn and electric mower hurt my heart 😂 surprised there was no “I’m not paying to cool the whole neighborhood” ac comment

[@angeloruiz4211]

He nailed it with the hat pulling the hair up in the back of your head. LOL

[@MamaB313]

As a joke for my husbands bday this year, since im pregnant with #1, i got him a pair of white reebok sneakers like his dad always wears. Well he thought it was pretty funny but he ended up switching to them immediately. Haha 😆 no more cool sneaks, dad shoes all the way!

[@jordanr991ify]

If this isn’t me as a dad. I’d consider myself a failure.

[@LindseyN1223]

My husband is definitely the mower guy 😂 every spring I think he gets a little broken hearted that the cheapie mower we have still works great and he doesn’t get to go shop for a new one.

[@Margatatials]

2:54 that is the exact position my Dad sleeps in when he falls asleep in the chair on his way back to bed after his midnight cheese snack

[@Thatoneguy2550]

The “ahhhhh” when you sit down and put your shoes on.. gotta have that too!

[@tsenpozombie4975]

"Whats up Rick, you got that T-time" So underrated 😂

[@DezertLTZYoutube]

Should of been mowing the lawn at 6am on the final stage acceptance 😂 comedy stuff man ! I’m having my first boy in January of 2022 so I’m looking for pointers 😂

[@brittneygearheard5485]

100% accurate 🤣🤣🤣 I even sent this to my brother, it reminded me of our dad so much! Lol

[@constructapex2021]

As a new dad my brother got me a pair of new balances not those lawn jockey 350s but some walking shoes, complete game changer

[@golfnz34me]

I'm a basic Dad, and proud of it!

[@alexryherd9810]

They need to do a video about the classes of basic dad lol because there are different ones, different mower brands, different models of NB shoes 🤣 not all dads listen to Bon Jovi while they mow either lol. Great video

[@SpaceTrsh]

I can feel myself morphing into this now.

[@jijiji9520]

This is like the American version of New Zealand's how to dad

[@storytimewithrodney]

This was so funny yet true. So this is how super heroes are made.

[@1whowasNEVERhere]

Been a Dad 7 years and the wicking shirts are awesome and Stage 5 is my jam 😂

[@CharlieZuko]

I mean it when I say I’m never gonna become a basic dad. 3 years basic-free so far and counting.

[@alonjar]

Wow... I havent laughed this hard in YEARS

[@garyking1705]

This is absolutely HILARIOUS

[@DanBee123]

Holy crap stage 5 is me all day - just came from my in-laws where I fell asleep on the couch

[@davecummings7477]

Omg. I even have that exact belt he wears in the end. I accept it. 😀

[@forestrot666]

I realized I have full arrived into adulthood when I get excited about new lawn equipment, especially when it is electric. I want to mow the lawn now, instead of dreading "breaking my back" trying to start a old push mower. I am just basic adult now, sans kids.

[@garyv2498]

Stage 4 is literally my alcoholic uncle when I was a kid. Not much changed except he quit drinking and is less of a jerk since becoming Basic Granddad.

[@GaryLiseo]

“I’m not getting a gut, I’m just putting some shade over my tools”

[@gilnbek]

The hat pulling the hair up made me subscribe. 🤣 Way to find the details I didn't know I forgot @DudeDad

[@johnnyv9024]

That battery comment offended me on a tech dad level I didn't know existed. Thanks for teaching me about myself! :P

[@jessediem3064]

Even as a female, I'm deathly afraid of becoming this...so I threw on a workout bra with the old man khaki cargo shorts and mowed the lawn that way😁

[@austinbatalis4574]

I have a neighbor that says all the dad jokes literally all the time.

[@tiggerintn]

OMG, I cackled at the NB shoes coming out of the box. My husband had to check on me 😂😂😂

[@gabriellenichole3445]

My dad bought a fresh pair of white new balance this spring!!! 😆☠️

Gotta get those grass stains on em' STAT!

I’ve been watching these changes in my youngest son ( he recently turned 34) I had to laugh because .. mmhmm that’s what J is going through.

That falling asleep everywhere one is the most me. Had me laughing my ass off

It's the subtle things... like the way he put the hat on at 3:20 😂

I have been a dad for 12 years and still have not fallen for any of this.

Literally lol’ing so hard right now 😆😆😆😆😆

[@theaceofspades485]

I am 35 and I have achieved some of these. I give it a good 5 years and I will make it to the New Balance.

[@TempestIsa]

"Like a jock strap for your feet"🤣.......I laughed my ass off through this entire skit,......my Dad did a lot of cussing in the yard, its where I learned to say "son-of-a-bitch" at 4 years old!

[@alexpompu4634]

Just got my new balance shoes! 5 steps complete!

This was so spot on it hurt a little. Made me laugh my head off though.

[@NtheMist]

I'm a gen x only child and i live next door to my boomer parents in a rural setting. I bought a riding mower last year so my dad could take a break, Wrong! He mows his yard, my yard, and if the neighbors would let him, their yard. He told us to bury him on his mower. I now have a twice used riding mower for sale.

[@kaitlinrose6352]

It’s the mask for me haha Such a weird time and it’s all documented

True Dad confession: I once fell asleep at a monster truck rally. At least it was during the intermission...

This evolutionary progression must be brought into the books of science.

[@thejollyroger9281]

After 8 years of being a dad, I have only become the dad that falls asleep everywhere 😂 otherwise avoided all other stages

[@banshee200]

Holy crap - did I just see this dude in that AMC show ‘Halt and Catch Fire’?!

[@christopherauvenshine2092]

When you realize you became a dad little over a year ago and just bought the same mower….

[@mr_bulow]

That electric mower has great engine sound ;)

[@pritambachar6495]

The singing at the end made my day 😂

Falling asleep everywhere!!! I can't 😁😭

Holster like John Wayne 🤣

I died at the NB discovery

[@nateb4543]

Being included with the mower was an awesome touch

[@ajinovoselic4473]

I wear Converse and Vans back in my skateboarding era and now i wear a New balance shoes which comfortable AF in my opinion...

LOL you get New Balance shoes with the mower XD

Ooh! Those are some big words from a guy who drives a Toyota

The only thing missing from this video is back pain.

[@garyg9815]

Married for 8 years, dad for 4 years, i have a lawn. Yet this isnt me. I have a crappy mower i got on Craigslist for cheep that gets the job done. I just wear my regular clothing. And no dad jokes. Although i did start taking power naps after i became a dad, but i think that that is due to necessity. Kids never let me sleep at night.

[@mikeherb]

That riff at 3:10

[@nickbuckley4371]

My dad takes me and my brother to Home Depot every weekend in the summer

[@MultiJohnmike]

What it this? Comfort my son, comfort

Is that a Ford, I could tell because the hood was up

[@lorol5224]

everyone talks shit about new balance shoes until they try them hehehe I may look dorky but I am comfortable as hell!

New balance you say?, I will have to try some on next time I’m at the store

Falling a sleep is real thing after becoming dad lol

Pretty amazing how universal that is.

I am howling with laughter ... hahahahahhahahahahahhahahah

[@jerradgideon4099]

Oh god, I’ve become that guy!!!☹️. I used to party and go crazy and now I’m in bed by 10:00p. And I do own new balances and they are really comfortable!! And I do fall asleep everywhere!

Could you look into doing a collab with Ben Rector?? I think that would be awesome--maybe a music video for his song "Dream On" !

[@RainAngel111]

Dude, the falling asleep everywhere thing? That's my dad

[@ruthcaperchione4103]

It all went downhill after putting on those silly shoes 😆

[@joannabusinessaccount7293]

Omg. That’s how it happens!

Looked down at my new balance sneakers which match my moisture wicking shirt....

What about falling asleep while watching TV and waking up the moment you turn it off

I know our lawn is not that big but a guy can dream. 😂

Oof 😅, I need to step it up a notch or 3. I haven’t even got the mower or shoes

I wish my mower came with some sleek new balances
