[@HotDad]

we're gonna be adding new stuff regularly over at neon grizzly, so bookmark it or memorize the link really well or whatever makes you feel really good. i love y'all big time! neongrizzly.com/collections/hot-dad p.s. if you can't make out the v cute line at the end, turn on CC! 👍👍👍

[@cockbreath01]

Liked,subbed,belled and shared.I have adblocker on though so it's a pointless gesture :) Oh yeah the obvious font is Comic sans.

[@alexkingvideo]

Professional designer here... I play this song every time I pick a font. And when coworkers bring up typography in any way, they listen to this during the discussion. Thank you, Hot Dad... for filling that career void I never knew existed before discovering this masterpiece.

[@HotDad]

you're wonderful! super glad you enjoy this!

[@justthatmichael2176]

This song is my anthem when I visit the *Victor Mono* website. Hot Dad made this song way OP for all the catchy rhymes in this, too.

[@dannybuchanan3661]

This is legitimately Hot Dads best song

[@valeriae6053]

Maybe in late 2018, but I gotta tell ya, in late 2019 with BS Shit and My Tape out, I doubt it.

[@anthonydeadman]

@@valeriae6053 Pffft ya'll kids obviously never heard the 1999 classics I am The Chowder Man and Ready to Shave. Now those were Hot Dad at his best back in the day.

[@biconditionals]

It's 2020 and this is still number 1. I like My Tape, Big Money Salvia City and and Elon Musk... but ain't nothing touching this masterpiece.

Christmas Pain in Christmas Town

[@YangiTheCat]

big money salvia too catchy

[@petesorensenguitar]

When your friends just think it's a meme video but you're trying to figure out how to start a band with this dude.

[@biconditionals]

Why would you want to be in a band with him? He'd eventually drive you mad with jealousy due to the talent and creativity balance in the band being so unequal

[@FrankJavCee]

I like Fipps. It's fun and retro in a video game way.

Unless you challenge and win against the dancer in a dance contest, your opinion is irrelevant.

An emotional and climatic experience always worth returning to

[@fwoqma]

showed my kids this and they were too distracted by the powerful jams that they neglected the font choice entirely! i had to explain and show them the joy of Times New Roman. then they understood. "it's perfect for a wide variety of professional or personal uses!" i told them, gesturing wildly. "we understand and appreciate Times New Roman for its bounty of applicable situations, father." they replied. "it truly is the best font for kidz." we all, naturally, said simultaneously. thank you for that one wonderful evening, and this outrageous hit, Hot Dad.

[@saw_cleaver]

Holy shit I've been listening to this song on repeat for like 2 days straight and I just now realized that the dancer actually does tell him to use Times New Roman. You are my new favorite person Hot Dad, I love you.

[@thelovefromupabove7347]

So many Gr8 lil bits here. The horn when you pray to the font God, the falsetto during the last chorus. Hell, I'll not stop singing this chorus for a while, s'too catchy. PETER THE GOD at it again.

[@dane103]

I can't stop listening to this. Literally a dozen times since I found it last week. I'm a designer but even if I wasn't this would slam hard. The chorus is a masterclass in earworms and I can't get it out of my head.

[@gunkwizardry]

this song is a memetic hazard because i literally cant not think about it when im setting fonts

[@punkitt]

Hot Dad songs are usually great but then you hit the chorus and then they're INCREDIBLE

[@HotDad]

hey, thank you!!!!!

[@punkitt]

@@HotDad no prob mr. Hot Dad!! Keep up the incredible work!!

[@soundofmouse]

when that keyboard comes in at 0:40 i def cant help but [bulbous dance]

[@KhanadaRhodes]

Thanks!

[@maymo]

this made my day

[@HotDad]

really happy i could do that!! ❤❤❤

[@therulerofsquids531]

hot dad you are a national treasure, and you are correct. times new roman is the BEST! times new roman is SO popular with the kids in my school!

[@HotDad]

i knew it, the kids love it!!!!!! they love times new roman! i always hear them screaming about it when i walk past the park, but now i have confirmation!!

[@ExplodingBear117]

Times New Roman brought my dog back from the dead! But he smelled bad so I shot him again.

[@madmaverick]

Only Hot Dad could make such a surreal plot logically consistent and catchy. Personally, I cannot wait for the concerned stares of passerby when I sing this to myself. Another modern classic.

[@DominoFreakShow]

This has gotta be one of the best channels on KZbin

[@Robert-bv4zj]

I think this might be my favourite song of yours so far. I go to this weird-ass channel when I'm having a bad day, I mean that in the best way possible, so thank you.

[@HotDad]

robert, so happy and grateful i can help out when you're having a bad day! you're welcome, and thanks for watching!

[@lucyhtml]

Today I learn what a Skeuomorph is... thanks Hot Dad!

[@HotDad]

haha, i asked some designer friends for input, so i definitely had some help with that one too!

[@lucyhtml]

Hot Dad :)

[@enigmaisgayy9493]

3:14 was genuinely beautiful

[@woopdedo3]

this song is legitimately amazing and i'm so bummed it's not as huge as it deserves to be

[@HotDad]

thank you! you're incredibly kind.

[@TheJfluffy]

You made the right choice! Times New Roman is perfect!!

[@HotDad]

i'm so happy you agree! i knew it when i saw it, simply perfect!! 😍😍😍

[@Blunderbeard]

Wingdings, man! Kids love all those fun pictures!

[@HotDad]

but they're gonna be having too much fun with the bitcoin market to look at those fun pictures! 😭

[@aceofclubs002]

like most white, suburban children, I too was conditioned to only ever use Times New Roman, size 12, no exceptions. so thanks for the validation!

[@evenoddprime]

This song legitimately could not get any better. 10/10

[@cruuump]

This is my favourite internet video, and I’ve seen several!

[@stufco]

This is far and away my new favorite song. It's just such an uplifting jam. I'm really glad I finally watched that comment etiquette video about skibidi toilet that ultimately led me here.

[@MortanAMrk]

@Hot Dad, I once was incredibly sick and i slept to this song for 15 hours so thanks for your beautiful rhythm

[@bored1980]

I beg you, Hot Dad, please consider an album with normal lyrics to sell. Your melodies are beautifully structured and complex, full of sound. I'd love to pump it in the car, but would prefer not to wind up the windows when I pull up to the lights, lest people laugh at my funky song playing which actually sings about children's websites.

[@HotDad]

have you not heard my girls who care record i released last year? would definitely fit the bill, i think! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYTUc3VqfJeKeNk ❤❤❤

[@bored1980]

Crikey, I had no idea. I'm going to check it out now. Thank you. And I'm still in love with your Guy Fieri song. It's brilliant, if bittersweet.

[@kevinfredericks2335]

Dude you made the anthem we need. I'm gonna be hummin' this sick catchy tune every time I'm picking fonts. Just picked Coaster Bold last night. It was a triumph so I rocked this jam.

[@ivegotpetercriss]

I love that he applies the EQ phone effect when he is on the phone and after "I told him." Such a great attention to detail that makes hot dad the best dad.

[@theVHSvlog]

You have outdone yourself

[@HotDad]

these are kind words and i really appreciate 'em!!!! ❤

[@kricku]

NOW I get it! Figure out the clues, get with the times, find what's new...

[@bquietson]

That chorus has been in my head all day.

[@DoomKid]

I wasn't expecting this to be so damn catchy. Great stuff once again!

[@HotDad]

thank you so much! always happy to provide a lil surprise! 😉

[@microwavetrash2501]

Found about you from Big Money Salvia and this channel is possibly the greatest channel on youtube

[@HotDad]

wow, you're terrific and highly appreciated! thank you!!!!

[@appelsap45]

i was actually looking for a font for my website while listening to this. feelsamazingman

[@TPBXDRicky420]

Another BANGER!

[@SmellsLikeNothing]

this has that old youtube feel

[@inktears1164]

SmellsLikeNothing i miss that

[@jm3267]

I think my favourite part of the song is the bridge with the Chorus of Kids; I can't place exactly what it reminds me of...maybe some bits off Paul Simon's Graceland?

[@keithbeef]

I was doing some [bulbous dancing] earlier and reminded me of this song. Thanks Hot Dad.

[@ewyeth7713]

i used to listen to this almost religiously while i was in my typography class, genuinely helped me remember serifs n shit, also showed it to my history of typography professor

[@metaphangmc]

I hate that this will now be in my head for the rest of the day...or wait, no I love that this will be in my head for the rest of the day. I pray some one asks me about fonts today

[@danbeucler3029]

2:04. Subtle, that took me quite a while to realize.

[@Mesquitepigerino]

I love listening to your music at work. It always makes my day a little less boring.

[@DominicSnyder]

This has the same chord progression as "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division. Do with that what you will.

[@kateiwinski4788]

this song showed up on my spotify discover weekly, and i just wanted to say thank u for making this

[@HotDad]

that's great! you're welcome!

[@StevenFramed]

look the fact that I haven't said anything about this one, says pretty much everything necessary, that this is a perfect song and does everything it should with regards to comedy and everything else - great awareness, focus of concept, twist-comedy-writ, and everything else :)

[@StevenFramed]

Except for-this: did anyone else notice -- my girlfriend actually pointed it out, and I noticed too - the obvious khakis pants TAGS and INK STRIP still linked to the fckin' pants? Because :D

[@kevinnolan8404]

Honestly, this song is a fucking jam. Perfectly encapsulates Hot Dad - funny meme content but solid musicianship, with hooks catchy as hell. Bravo good sir.

[@dirtfriend]

yknow after all these years im still not sure if this video was sponsored by squarespace or not

[@AdrianJimenez70]

"I'm totally on top" Hot dad on top of the table. Subscribed

[@checkmateatheistsss]

This came up on my Spotify Weekly Discoveries playlist, and I’m so glad that it did. Damn this is amazing

[@matthewbianchini]

0:40 "intuitive"/"truly is" is a brilliant rhyme

[@skibbz0r]

this is actually catchy as fuck. I'm gonna jam it in my car for real

[@kerfluffle98]

Seriously a masterpiece of the genre. I think about it every time i make websites

[@HiCharity]

If I ever write a synth hook half as good as the one used in the pre-chorus I'll die a happy man... "It's perfect..." All Hail Hot Dad!!!

I love the *Times* hint the dancer gives

[@assuna1932]

TFW Times New Roman is the standard font for essays.

[@djmoonstone]

These hooks you write...god that chorus is so excellent

I thought for sure Wingdings would be best for kids but that's why I'm not a true website boy like Hot Dad.

woah one of the fonts was "Neoliberal NGO" pls gib

i've had the chorus stuck in my head for the past week help

i would LOVE to send help but also i REALLY LIKE this problem. not really sure what to do, sorry!!! 🤔🤔🤔

goddamn you just crank out catchy tunes, that chorus hooked my brain WANNA GET THE CLICKS, MAKE A SITE THAT APPEALS 2 KIDS

Hi hot dad! Do you have guitar tabs for this? I’ve learned all the words and would like to play along

[@kastratos]

I keep coming back to this! Such a cool music video!

[@spensert4933]

Best song musically. Most funny. Quirky. Friendly. Too specific in a great way. This should be a song in Helvetica! The Broadway Show. Kind of song you sing in the shower but cannot execute.

[@mothcub]

watching this again and smiling : - )

[@Yungtacosss]

I love this! my favorite font is wingdings haha

[@SmellsLikeNothing]

pure internet fun like jon lajoie when he first started love it

[@crystalmanta9443]

So, the tune in the bridge (where the totally real children are singing) sounds really familiar. Can someone tell me what it's from?

[@TYCOIX]

This is... a very odd coincidence since the task for my course was to make a website for kids. Quite helpful though, so thanks!

[@kevinfredericks2335]

They put in 'Times New Greek' during the first chorus. No spoilers.

[@Bankside1997]

Great song and music.

[@fartpunch3937]

I got the same feeling listening/watching this that I do when listening to Weird Al and Jon Lajoie.

[@HotDad]

i gotta say, that's a really nice and flattering thing for you to say. thank you! ❤

[@Maddie-kz6lp]

the bulbous dancing was beautiful. i need more

[@HotDad]

i will always do more, i can never do enough!

[@Maddie-kz6lp]

you're the man, dad!

[@Braden123135]

You kick ass hot dad! This is one of the greatest things to geace my ears

[@justadude]

Did he sample "Settle Down" by the 1975 for the chorus? Sounds super similar

[@trouttmanvideos1325]

I don't know if you intended this or not but this is very spiritual.
