[@EddyBurback]

ryan and shane forced me to sign a form that made them my official dads

[@andythai8676]

Coercion at its finest

[@valenfigurka3869]

Congrats on the new family!!

[@redwiltshire1816]

You don’t realise how many wattpad stories you just created with that sentence

[@criticallol3039]

Well, that does suck. On the upside, you've doubled the backs you can ride for piggybacks. And in this economy?! That's a great deal!

[@aname5102]

Can you impregnate me?

[@LoveaBornVillain]

Eddy's list is absent dads who's kids have trauma, Ryan's is mostly dads who died and Shane's is so obscure which is so on brand for him

[@brieason]

i dont think god is obscure

[@annayoesting6232]

Pongo was a elete choice 💯

[@LoveaBornVillain]

@@annayoesting6232100% agree

[@GingerChild22]

I also hate to add, Shane has two dads on his list that have 100+ children and are animals… which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[@Atuchy]

@@GingerChild22I came to say essentially this but you said it way better and way funnier.

[@opossum7637]

I love the absolute glossing over of Shane’s dad apparently having been HIT BY LIGHTNING?

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS

[@evacalles5442]

I came to say the same thing wtf 😂

[@calliope720]

I want to know the story so bad but I also know that it's way funnier that they made that edit to leave it hanging

[@DaggerGee]

Fr like was he joking or serious??

[@amishamrock]

​@@DaggerGeeno that did actually happen, they mentioned it in another video (I don't remember which) but they glossed over it then too

[@woschaebedip]

The fact that Gomez Addams didn't make any of these lists is a crime against everything I hold dear

[@ichmeiner4531]

Yes! Always supportive of anything his family wants, very protective, immense pride for any of his kids achievements, always making sure that their needs and wants are met and he puts his opinion and ego aside if it might benefit the child. AND a great husband. AND he's doing it with ease and grace, without giving up himself.

[@kristinchilders8052]

Agreed

[@tiffanyr134]

100% agree!

[@frankensteinlives]

Agreed

[@abbywolffe4114]

To be fair, I think Raoul Julia's Gomez Addams crosses the threshold into DILF

[@isam6988]

“ I wouldn’t mind her being my mother “ “ I’d wear a collar I don’t wear clothes” Shane is not gonna be beating those freak allegations any time soon 😭😭

[@carla_coded]

The zoom in on Ryan's face after Shane talks about Cruel Ella 😂

[@void9938]

Is he even trying to tho?

[@solitarelee6200]

Shane picking God as his top choice is going to make the "Shane is a demon" fangirls go absolutely INSANE. Bring out the red string! I'VE CONNECTED THE DOTS

[@alex-fs9yt]

i have a morbid curiosity about this now 😂

[@kutiekat671]

Technically speaking, Pongo was the bio dad to about 15 of the pups, he adopted the rest after rescuing them from DeVille's mansion. My boy should be ranked higher because he's not just a step-dad, but the dad that stepped up.

[@SapientGalaxy]

Shane always chooses the most wild shit, but his number one truly was genius. Ryan clearly was thinking too small when he picked Darth Vader just for force powers.

[@Areyousayingidontknowmyname]

To be fair I believe Darth Vader would kick Jesus's ass. Unless Vader was susceptible to random healing... Change of menu at big outdoor events or sudden above water sports. ;)

[@katemartin113]

it was quite obvious ryan wasn’t thinking of the outcome of his picks when he picked well-known child murderers death vader and joel

[@sarahk1820]

Shane’s number one pick only reinforces that he’s a demon theory. 😏

Bob Belcher should have been on someone’s list! He’s the best dad. He’s so supportive to all his kids

[@romigithepope]

Agreed!

[@sdrawkcabemdaer5]

"You're my family and I love you but you're terrible" is the perfect dad vibe tbh 😂

[@hlf3769]

yes!!

[@dimwitdove3813]

i went to the comments to see if someone said him. he would have hands down been my number 1. i’ve cried an embarrassing amount of time while watching bob’s burgers because of bob and linda being outstanding parents.

[@hannahpark0]

It's cardinally sinful that Goofy is not on any of the lists here. THE ENTIRETY OF A GOOFY MOVIE IS JUST HIM TRYING TO BE A THE BEST DAD TO MAX, AND HE RAISED MAX ALONE BUT DIDNT LET ALL THE EMOTIONAL STRESS GET TO HIM 😢

[@gabiluch87]

Im flabbergasted that RYAN didn't put him as his number one pick

[@kogumasmommy]

Its also concerning because he was at the top of their lists for DILFS. That means they think goofy brings in more for sex appeal than actual dad qualities

[@hlf2381]

​@@gabiluch87I thought for sure Ryan's #1 was going to be Goofy

[@adambump5297]

@@groofayWell like Ryan said it's a selfish pick because he wants power he didn't chose Anakin because he was a great father the whole just wanting the Force thing makes so much sense I get that I really do because being the child of the Chosen One basically means that you're a freaking Demi-God. That said I feel like if circumstances were different for Anakin like if it wasn't for the nightmares driving him crazy making him unable to properly sleep, the whole turning to the Dark Side and needing to do horrible things to gain strength in the Dark Side then he probably would've turned out to be a great dad.

[@amandamfds]

i was looking for a comment like this lol

[@michiyoymzk4504]

OMG i just realized it

[@_Cotton]

so shane wants a lot of siblings, ryan wants incestuous siblings, and eddy wants no dad

[@gilbertbernand]

well, that's pretty accurate 😂

[@PrimRooks]

The wild pendulum swing that Eddy's list took from absentee/dead dads to actually sweet and heartwarming father figures was my favorite part

[@calliope720]

It tells a story of "If I can't have a good dad, I'll take no dad" which is so correct but also sad

[@user-uj5og1yy1b]

for the first 3 i really thought, oh hey therapy

[@jongininikim5219]

he's mentioned before that he's a child of divorce and from what i remember his relationship with his dad wasn't that great so yeah...

[@CoDakArtz]

Eddys list being mainly abscent, Ryan having dads who died at some point, then you have fucking Shane with the most wild picks💀💀 I love the absurdity

i watched a short video essay called "Everyone Everywhere Needs Waymond Wang (and Ke Huy Quan)" and it's so good at explaining just how versatile waymond was yet he was also the only character out of the entire original cast of characters who didn't change despite having the most impact. i fuckin love that movie.

[@blobfishcool]

Two Thoughts: 1. Shane had me WHEEZING with Pongo, less for the pick and more for the men with a collar as the 99th dalmation 2. Where's the Pacha rep.? Pacha is a wonderful father and I would die for him (From Emperor's New Groove)

[@casmadison9092]

Yes I was thinking Pacha!! Also Bandit from bluey like duh

[@scarlettbat]

right?? they blew past that with nary a follow-up query!!

[@joeshmuck9683]

Shane pulling an Irish Goodbye on an X-Box lobby has earned him a new level of respect for me I didn’t even know was possible. Bravo sir.

[@presentlycrescent]

Uncle Iro IS such an incredible character because of his growth He was, arguably, monstrous And a lot of people got hurt because of him But even when he was doing those things, he still spared the dragons He was part of the White Lotus, he transcended borders And when he lost Lu Ten and understood the cost of war, his change and personal growth and his capacity for compassion grew even further And that’s all BEFORE he became a father figure to Zuko and offered guidance and support from random strangers to the rest of the Gaang His words legitimately got me through very hard times. I don’t remember the quote exactly, but he said something along the lines of “do not give in to despair. Hope is something you must give yourself” and as someone struggling almost every day, that hit hard. It gave me strength and it didn’t make me feel bad about myself like some advice for depression does.

[@teddycat7218]
