This will be skit that I save for all eternity. I shared this with my siblings last night at midnight. My Dad passed away today, on Veterans Day at 8am. He LOVED the Steelers. So many of our conversations were like this. He had a great sense of humor, but really could not talk about feelings. Just football. He was 86. I feel like this was the message he wanted to send.

This is one of the realest sketches SNL has done. It captures old school dads to a tee. Getting them to open up and show vulnerability is like pulling teeth. I guess it’s because they grew up in a time when feelings weren't talked about much. They just did what they had to do because they didn’t have the luxury sit around and be introspective and ask themselves how things made them feel.

Bro being in your 20's in the 70's wasn't bad lol.

[@L_Martin]

It’s not a question of if it was bad, it’s a question of what was expected of men, how they were allowed to behave.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Were you in your 20s back in the 70s? If not, you can only infer that from what you heard from people who were, and assume everything they said was 100% accurate. That, or, you just assumed. That's like saying it isn't that bad for people in their 20s today. You know you. Everyone else's experiences at different times is just hearsay. Again, even if you were in your 20s in the 70s, speak for yourself.

[@rob6345]

😂 It's because you're taught from an early age as a boy Not to show emotion and especially don't show weakness. Because you'll get made fun of by men and women alike. It's what happens when women aren't soft and understanding and empathetic anymore. Because that's who men used to be able to go to with their problems.

[@daackmpoy]

It depends, its not the same if you got to smoke weed and dont shower in a commune for a year, than being sent to vietnam and loose your leg on a jungle trap while watching your buddies being shot by kids with AKs.

He was full of witt and wisdom that he shared with my sister and I and the neighborhood kids. He was one of the Dads that came out to play with the kids.

He was such a kind man and great father. He took care of 4 kids after he finally won custody, because my mom was a physically abusive NIGHTMARE. This makes me miss him so much.

[@nw42]

I hear you. I lost my dad in the summer of 2020. He didn't die of COVID, but all of the rules made everything so much harder. It was the reason I missed his final moments. It even forced his funeral to be cut short. He was a wonderful man. He kept his mind until near the very end, but he got uncharacteristically cranky. We both thought he had a few more months than he did, and we didn't know that our last phone call would be our last phone call. We spent a good chunk of it discussing different routes for a cross-country trip I'd taken with my wife, and he was surprisingly upset to learn that we'd driven through a relatively rural area. ("What if you had a breakdown!" "But we didn't have a breakdown, and we were never more than a few miles away from other people." "That's not the point!") It was a ridiculous conversation, but it was his way of expressing love and concern. I wish I'd been more present for it, and I still regret that. Anyway. I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry that it was under those conditions. It sounds like your dad was an amazing, stand-up guy.

[@jaydoggy9043]

Fate can be so cruel to the greatest people. But the legacy remains: that you and your three siblings got to thrive. He sacrificed so that four wonderful people could safely be themselves. And his legacy is there - because your heart works, thanks to him. I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you can share his story and can be here to thrive and share a moment with the world.

I loved it too!

[@SnakeBitBob1982]

I miss my dad SO much. It doesnt get easier with time. Just a hole in my heart and life that has been there since he died. If you still have your dad go see him. One day in the future you would give anything to see him just one more time. I know I would.

[@bravebetsy]

I didn't expect to cry at an SNL skit❤ I miss my Dad❤

I lost my dad at 14 and my mom at 22, not a day goes by were I don't think about them!

Ugh the tears.. 😢 My dad is dying.. I spent the entire last summer watching baseball with him and as sad and painful as it is I’m glad I got to have that time with him.

[@danielpittman889]

My stepdad thinks I watch a lot of baseball. I just watch the highlights reels so I have something to talk about with him. I haven't watched a complete game since 2008.

@ aww that’s still nice of you tho

[@zerocal76]

@@danielpittman889 Thanks for sharing that. It helped me decide to watch Formula 1 highlights for the same reason. I considered it a few times but would end up being selfish choosing to watch my fav things. Now I'll do the same with my dad 😀

[@michaelesgro9506]

@@danielpittman889 Ok, these comments are blowing my mind, the similar experiences in such detail. I am probably a lot older than you (in my 60s), just a feeling, but apparently not much has changed about fathers through the decades.

Genuinely, a brilliant sketch. Deserved more love.

[@surefireshore]

I'm cannot stop laughing at "Dad, your car is not your car's car."

[@ohmfly]

I feel happy for all of you who can reach out to your dads and have conversations . I lost my dad when I was 20 in 2001. Don’t take your parents for granted and call them today. Apologize for anything and tell them thank you.

[@TheWellnessAmbassador1970]

That was Rich....heartfelt and moving. My Dad passed earlier this year and this was a vivid reminder of the love language we spoke so often....cars...sports....economy and the job ...the four areas when translated in dad language meant....I love you son! I am indeed my father's son....thank you SNL🙏🙏

[@ramirezproductions0826]

I swear, Kenan and Devon have the best comedic chemistry! 😊

Been watching SNL since it premiered when I was only 5 and this is the first time I ever teared up during a sketch.

Call your Cars and Eagles if you still got yours-this hits deep. Cherish those moments while you can, because regret comes too late.. ask me ❤

[@idfishthat.yt1]

This skit hits differently now that I'm the dad, great job SNL.

[@tiffanymoton704]

oh my god my dad literally made a "phone works both ways" comment to me less than 3 hours ago

[@nunyabizness214.]

Sounds like a sweet moment

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

That is why I'm waiting to see how long it takes my dad to call me before I call him...

[@Anonymous56657]

Wow. They must have based the skit on him

[@zerocal76]

@@MatthewTheWanderer Don't wait very long. One day he won't be able to pick up the phone even if he has/had the intention to do so. Some of us have to accept that we're the ones who will be the ones reaching out, showing some emotion, some expression of care. Some dads just can't bring it out though its there (my dad for example).

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@zerocal76 My dad is an insufferable asshole. The thought of calling him again for any reason makes me sad and anxious. My dad has never had trouble expressing emotion and neither have I. That's not our problem. I used to call him on a regular basis, even though I often regretted it. I can't deal with his emotional and mental abuse and bigotry anymore. Same with my mom and 2 or my 3 siblings. I really hate the idea that I always have to be the one to "reach out" to people (family, friends, relatives, etc.). I'm introverted and have social anxiety, damn it! Why must I have to reach out first EVERY time!? Yet, that is how it is. No one reaches out to me and I don't reach out to them, so I remain socially isolated.

[@Tiniestwombat]

Yup, that's about how it goes talking to dads.

My grandma was like this. Weather she called or someone called her, she would be like “everything good? That’s good, well I’ll let you go.” Lol

[@thirdstratus8746]

keep comedy funny but meaningful and you win. So many Dad's try to communicate love for their family but it's difficult when you have to be the tough provider protector all the time. God bless the Dads that try

[@Smackman219]

This is the most Dad skit ever 😂😂😂

[@divine.feline]

Seeing this, reading the comments… Kinda nice to know I’m not the only got this kinda thing going on with the father.

Wish I could call my dad tight now. It's been 2 years. I missed him😢

[@bobbyrooney]

This is the realist thing I've ever seen. I laughed hysterically, and there wasn't one joke.

[@blainebishop5913]

That "How's the car holding up?" was too real.

[@remus2565]

Man this is so spot on. I call my dad a couple of times a month. He always asks how my car is doing or how work is going. Sometimes he opens up, but most of the time if I try to ask, he says "hey, here's your mom". But he has those rare times when he opens up, but if it gets too much he will end the phone call. But he randomly tells me sometimes "hey, I never got to talk to my Dad the way we talk". Me being a father, I sort of understand that loneliness. My daughter is a teenager and she asks me all the time "hey Dad are you okay? Can I get anything for you?". And my response is always "Nah, i'm fine Princess." Even though I may not be 100% truthful. I'm silently afraid of the time when I can't call to just hear his voice. But that day will come for all of us.
