*AS YOUR FATHER I EXPRESSLY FORBID IT!*

I have this hunch this might've been the inspiration for Neil's newest album "Spirit Phone" song "As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It". The concepts are very similar.

[@oole6626]

It is

[@PastaMaster115]

My god, is Spirit Phone really over 5 years old already?!? Is that why I'm withering away into dust?

[@lemon-dragon_deez_nuts_]

HE DOSENT UNDERSTAND! >:(

[@YellowYoshi398]

I like how Billy is older than his dad.

[@BellaExclamationMark]

I want a 10 hour video just of grandpa neil dancing

[@elfzilla]

I love how Ryan is just grinning the whole time. XD "BUT IT'S THE SHIT, MOM!". Emmy is so cute and funny in this.

[@pillai9786]

As your father I expressly forbid it.

[@smurfy]

Wow. Grandpa captured your essence and threw it back at you with humor and rhetorical devices.

[@redmantis3336]

WELL YOU CAN'T, GRANDPA YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF I NEED YOUR TEETH

[@calabacin90]

Neil, you play an senile old man very convincingly. Ryan is delightful as an enthusiastic young boy scout. Ben and Emmy are great as the parents too. Emmy nailed that voice! Great job everyone!

Ryan plays an excited child well TOO well...

[@Echoreyn]

Neil makes such a convincing old person. XD Is it bad that I laughed hysterically at the "Oh, Granpa. You and your Alzheimer's!" line? *shakes head* Ryan's done it again.

[@Laur0sie]

My grandmother actually thought I had no interests and no personality because we never talked about anything I was into in front of her. We figured it would just confuse her, but it made her think I was boring.

[@furiousmagician5912]

[@cyanthe100]

don't talk about As You Father I Expressly Forbid It in front of grandpa, he doesn't understand

[@thisistheglasshouse]

1:52 Is that the Spirit Phone cat?

[@cottontaelle]

the cats name is maui. i think so

[@coronelfalk]

rest in peace

[@belladonnamirkwood6669]

I have the same colour of cat

[@gabsalanna]

rip :(

[@jjam1025]

I don't think so... the spirit phone cat is not that color im retty sure...

[@Brainstrain91]

It...reminds me of Sunday afternoons with Grandma... bless her heart...

[@MrCaptainFlix]

ahaha the cast for this is absolutely perfect. neil is great as grandpa

[@milkbox103]

i love that neil is playing the father of his two siblings lol. also, cat in the background hehe

[@mobius273]

i couldn't help but notice the wii behind neil.

[@theabyss310]

A video made 12 years ago has no right to be this hilarious

[@una_10bananas]

My favourite thing is that Ben is playing the dad while Ryan is playing the kid like who even thought of that

[@Rugford]

It's great how you can see the cat meandering about in the background. Brings me back to the good ol' days of when I had to walk to school uphill, both ways and I would return home to see my little kittykat, Juniper, and I would finish my run-on sentences diligently.

[@Vicious516]

Let's just say that he forgot that he bought them...

[@phase866]

"I saw wymyn CRYING over their blown up BABIES", and then her face, and then I laugh and just can't stop laughing until I wake up my parents and become grounded myself.

[@thisindianajo]

"Because it's the SHIT, Grandpa!" Thank makes me smile. :)

[@sesquipedalianmoose]

Ryan Murphy is a comic genius.

[@jokidzzz]

Ryan Murphy is my hero.

[@EmmaLilacflarevids]

What a gem

[@kssykssygg]

I really love the acting in this short. Neil plays a very convincing grandpa, Emmy and Ben are the typical uptight parents, and Ryan actually sounds like one of those boy scouts who always know everything about anything and don't mind flaunting it. I wish that Neil could be my third Grandpa. He would be the perfect mate for my Grandma. She's the kind of lady who, if she could see and walk better, would probably be able to kick my ass. I love my Nana. She's cool.

[@RI2VA]

Neil has got to be the best dancer ever...

[@nocoho1]

That was entirely worth it for the dance number at the end!!!

[@theprairiemailbox]

Ryan looks so funny with that maniac smile on his face.

[@amjPeace]

OMG! Grandpa rocks! What an inspiration for that young whippersnapper! And he sure knows how to cut the rug! 5 *****'s

[@MarauderNo5]

Ya'll did a great job with the make up and costumes in this one. Really superb. Particularly Neil's makeup. He really looks like an old maaaan.

[@PlebeianGoth]

I almost laughed until I cried! I love it! Especially PlayStation 3! Don't stop being wicked awesome!

[@wenryapart]

i can't believe i didn't watch this till now. it was awesome

[@CarowTheDreamer]

I love the little dance Neil does at the end xD And the look on your face the entire time!

[@Pipistrelle]

emmys face during neils rant... priceless

[@MonkeyNamedEric]

HAHAHA. I laughed so hard when Ryan said, "BUT IT'S THE SHIT MOM!"

[@spiderpig433]

Neil makes a good grandpa.

[@talkingharvs]

neil being his siblings' dad is hilarious 2 me

[@gulsz]

you are all so great actors, I love you!

[@oohlalaooh]

I love Emmy in this video! Neil is very credible as grandpa :D

[@Dumbledoresarmy13]

XD OMG THAT WAS BRILLIANT. Incredibly brilliant to the 30th power. xD Neil does a fantastic old man imitation and Ryan's little kid enthusiasm about video games is dead on.

[@Poppy224]

lol 1:42, does anybody else hear that cracking sound when grandpa points at himself. Ouch, I'm glad that was a sound effect! I love this it's awesome! Kinda ironic that there's a flat screen tv and wii console behind grandpa, though. Neil looks exactly the same as he was at the end of 'Ryan's Christmas Wish' he makes a very convincing elderly person. :P

[@MaxPacheco]

I must say, we're all adjusting quite well to using only public domain music. It ain't so bad. Besides that, great job to all involved. I can hardly recognize Neil even though he's barely disguised.

[@HolywaterHangover]

Neil wins at life.

[@pettybun]

I LOOOOOVE THIS ONE.

[@tegalto]

Haha... Love the old man dance, Neil!

[@BlistersOnMyFingers8]

I LOVE THIS!! Sometimes,I wish my family would act like this........

[@ZackVitus]

Hahaha!! Check out Grandpa's dance moves at the end.

[@Laur0sie]

I love Emmy's face at 2:26.

[@MommaHagrid]

I love awkward old man dance. It makes for laughs. Nice short shorts. You're a brave man, Ryan. A brave man with shapely, attractive legs.

[@HollyToadstool]

Geez, Ben is growing up so fast! O_O Lovely acting btw, Neil :) It's also awesome to see Emmy in the clips more often, she was so shy about it a few years ago ;D (Don't say you weren't LOL!) And now that still leaves something cool to be said about Ryan! ...Eh... Ummm... hm.. Nice... knees? ;) Thanks for making this man, it made me smile :)

[@23Allie23]

Hahah Neil looks like he's going to crack up any second through all his rambling around 1:48. Ryan's face at 2:41 - priceless!!! Boy scout! Honestly! Most definately favoriting this one!

[@jjam1025]

1:48 2:41

[@WildHoneyPie4]

I love Emmy's face at 2:24 and your face 2:41 xDDD Neil makes a pretty darn good rambling old man. :D lol

[@helloyoutobe]

lol this is awesome. love the look on emmy's face at 2:26

[@rosedrunner]

lol both the parents call him dad SOOO funny!!

[@SamShard]

i was rofl at 2:41 because of ryans face and the whole atmosphere of the vid! good job!

[@theprairiemailbox]

Ben is Ryan's dad. Hahaha And you're all right. Neil is a really good old man.

[@blucheryl25]

I love Ryan's face at 2:14! It's the shit!

Haha Ryan Murphy and Neil are the best in this xD

I love that you can see every single Harry Potter book in the background at 0:54

[@happykitty11]

the cat in the background is the perfect detail!!! lol

[@ruudiluca]

Nice dancing Old Man Neil!

[@Snelliuss]

I watched my mum playing mario kart wii, and my grandpa playing wii sports. Lol, that's painful and funny at the same time.

Thank you, Ryan. This just made my day. Everyones acting was fantastic. :)

[@kanalet8460]

i like that there’s a wii at grandpa’s house as well

[@PlebeianGoth]

Whoa, in normal quality at about 1:49, the cat is cleaning himself. Then when he walks to the left, it looks like he freezes in time. IDK, I thought it was kinda freaky. I love this vid!!1! It's been quite some time since I've seen it last, and I think it's funnier than the last time I saw it! You rock!

[@PseudoKitsch]

I love how there's a Wii on the table behind grandpa.

[@HelmetComedy]

this video is so underapritiated i love it

This video makes me laugh everytime I watch it. Go you!

yes.

[@MyspaceTomLuvsMeNotU]

EPIC dance! =D

[@ElderSwear07]

I totally see what you mean!

[@animeluvergurl9]

Ryan was always like ^.^

[@noyeska]

TRUE FACT: Neil actually suffers from Alzheimer's. His videos are just a feeble attempt to reenact what are left from his fragmented childhood memories. Yet, due to the onset of madness and senility, his version of events tend to vary wildly from what actually happened.

[@theroboticrobot]

that was brilliant.

[@peaceofpie3]

LOL when ben smacked ryan in the back of the head "we don't use that language!"
