Awe poor Jack, that's so mean!

[@-----REDACTED-----]

One side of Michael: “why don’t you go play in the water and drown?” The other side: “get my son back here NOW!” *RAGING INTO THE LION’S DEN*

[@BellydancingAmazon]

I love how his dad is constantly complaining about school fees.

[@freyatrull4589]

Don’t you just love how much Michael try’s his hardest not to laugh at Jacks jokes, but can’t help himself 😂

[@manawearblack]

It’s him breaking character, he’s not an actor after all

[@newnewnwo4-life497]

Really? I find Michael is more amusing. Jack isn't great at stand up I think Jack is much funnier when he has in a situation and people to interact with and that unknown back and forth is always rather funny. I've rarely seen Michael laugh hard at jacks jokes and never lost it like Jack does when Michael says something outrageous and silly

I love that Jack is so respectful of his father to not constantly interrupt him or rush his stories. He just politely sits and listens. You can see the admiration and genuine love he has for him. I love watching you too!

“We has to go to Barbados” “it was a struggle” “why don’t you go in the water and drown” “eighteen” haha Micheal is an actual icon!

Is Jack the eldest?

@@emmawainwright5527 Yeah.

[@graysono]

Hearing Dad say 'fucking Scientology' made me laugh out loud and for quite a while too! Brilliant.

[@nodstarz]

Love the fact the story was supported by old family videos. Honestly these two make the best duo.

[@soul_asmr]

Jacks dad really is quite sweet :( Reminds me of my father. Stern exterior but actually quite a softie. Something about their generation. Same type of guys, I suppose

[@AnnabellaRedwood]

He reminds me of my Dad too. A real Gent.

[@jazzedaboutcheese]

Same with my dad. He's a little softer because he has all daughters but very similar exterior. Lol

[@pauldriver9615]

Exactly the same as mine. Also always wears a smart outfit for all occasions.

[@elsajohansson5316]

same but with those kind of fathers they are never satisfied with your achievements 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@seoulv8427]

This may be the most animated I’ve ever seen Mr.Whitehall. I adore you sir.

[@SouthCountyGal]

Oh my goodness; the mutual adoration between Jack and both his parents is obvious and wonderful! What I loved most about this vid is how animated Michael got. I knew that guy had to be somewhere behind the curmudgeonly facade he usually puts on. Good on Michael for rescuing little golem Jack from L. Ron Hubbard (disguised as T. Dan Smith). A friend of mine was not so lucky; it took him nearly 20 years to rescue his children from the Scientologists.

[@Animation27]

I just love Michael. Under his uptight British persona, you can tell he is a lovely man who adores his son

[@ossswin]

you: L. Ron Hubbard me, an intellectual: T. Dan Smith, northern businessman

[@oyemate8647]

I love how jack says he's never had a lisp when he still does

He doesn't.

Jack DEFINITELY still has a lisp.

He does, it's subtle but when he's emotional it's more pronounced. I find it cute!
