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.

[@Monica-vt4mz]

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.

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.

@@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.

[@Tiniestwombat]

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

[@ZzZ-qd1zo]

I mean, not this week. Kind of wild how easy some people have it not having lunatic MAGA parents.

[@nw42]

@@ZzZ-qd1zo I'm sorry that MAGA got your parents. That's brutal.

[@ZzZ-qd1zo]

@@nw42 Well, I appreciate it. Me, and a few million others. I'm glad people are having these relatively sweet interactions with their dads.

[@jvmt8719]

Or at least Boomer dads. I hope I'll be a little more emotionally available to my son (2 years old at the moment) when he's grown and calls me.

[@Tiniestwombat]

@@ZzZ-qd1zo My dad seems a bit depressed after the election. He just wanted to talk about Steven King books. Books are his sports.

My stepdad has cancer, and we've had some pretty important talks. Hes strong 💪

My dad just passed away on 10/31. We buried him on Monday. This skit feels like I wrote it. He was a diehard Eagles fan.

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

This reminds me of when I'd talk to my grandfather. He'd always start conversations with "How's the car running?" He was the greatest man I've ever known and I miss him every day.

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.

devon is such an underrated cast member. he's super funny and should be in way more skits

My dad is in the hospital with cancer. Thanks for reminding me to call.

[@Nikunikuniku583]

I just laughed cried so hard to this. My dad and I cannot talk about anything else than work, politics or weather. I have had very rare moments of real connection with him. I am so far from my family and I doubt I will spend as much time with them anymore. I just miss my dad sometimes. but we dont talk about it.

[@YodatheHobbit]

"I'll let you go" is what my stepdad used to always say on the phone. I never wanted to go, but he always said that. I missed being a happy family after my mom separated from him. I miss him. Stephen Kirchner RIP | Died 2019.

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
