This is spooky-accurate. Everything from the exercise bike in the basement to the multiple freezers, even the old fashioned oven in the background. Its amazing.
Listen up. The Pixburgh basement had a purpose. Extra shitter for the dirty Ironworker. He came and had to download his P-bros sammiches. And shake out his dirty undies. Don't forget that this was Pittsburgh 's history. The Pittsburgh basement is that for a reason. It was needed.
Totally digging the "Pizza Hut" pitcher and "Blend" lemonade. The bit about opening all the containers to find everything but what you're looking for...priceless.
Oh my God, my mom would put things in other containers. And plastic shopping bags. I left my shoes at her house. Came back and couldn't find them. She already put them in a plastic bag. I'm like what...
I'm from the good old Oil City and I swear this is a documentary of my early childhood. I remember being told to go downstairs to the basement and play and being bored out of my mind bc there was only the exercise bike or the old train toys my uncle used to play with.
This is just exactly it. This is grandma's house. Gross with smoke, bottles of Canadian Club, 1960s furniture and cabinets, crummy old hard candies, quirky little things, kids hanging in the basement with weird stuff. Well done.
true story I remember going into the store to get my mom smokes in the very early 90s .. I went to my dads for a summer .. came back ..went to go in for smokes for her?..no can do buddy that's against the law now ... she's out in the car you can see her through the window ..nope they cracked down we can be fined now .. that was it .. I think it was 92 into 93 ..
LOL Why did my grandparents have one in the basement no one ever used? Same with a spare fridge and freezer from the '50s. Plus a spare room with canned goods from years ago
I'm a Pittsburgher by marriage (and now live here!) and spent many a holiday at the in-laws house. My father in law passed away last fall and mom in law moved to assisted living. Their house now sits empty, with a for sale sign out front. Your video made me laugh and sad at the same time. Thank you for the sweet memories - the smoke was dead on, spent many a freezing night standing outside trying to clear my lungs. :) but dad's exercise bike in the basement actually still had the seat!
Holy cow! 😂 I've never even been to Pittsburgh and this video totally captures my childhood! My parents sitting around the table, drinking, chain smoking and playing cards while us kids are bored to tears! Lol I still have trust issues with Cool Whip bowls! The parachute always got lost from every little parachute guy so we'd use plastic grocery bags, we'd rummage through boxes of old VHS tapes (even before DVDs) hoping to find a whole movie that hasn't been taped over with my grandparent's MANY vacation trips to Branson! Ah the good ol days.
I remember going to my great aunt's house. My dad was the only man in the whole town she trusted to work on her place. He'd be cleaning the gutters and drinking beer and I'd be inside with her. Her walls were yellow with Doral cigarette smoke. There was an excersize bike crammed up against the front door. She made bbq chipped beef sandwiches. Crime documentaries were always on the TV and she had a stack of crossword books next to her recliner. She often remarked about her head stone, "I've got the year on there and I'm waitin' for the other year." There's nothing like a Polish Catholic woman from southwest PA.
This is absolutely awesome. When I was growing up, my parents had the exact same Pizza pitcher and I had the ET glass collection. I would give anything for those days back! Also had the glassware collection from Long John Slivers also. 😊
It's too on point. We played Rummy 500 and had roast beef, mashed potatoes and corn on every visit to my gramma's in Mt. Washington. She smoked and had a dog that didn't like kids. There was a coffee can full of die cast metal toys and plastic horses for us to play with.
My mom, also a grandma, had smoked Pall Mall unfiltered for over 50 years, then switched to cigars because they were cheaper and wanted to "wean" herself off of smoking! Still going strong with Philly Titans at age 81! And drinking Miller Highlife!
hahaha. I remember my aunt sending me and my cousin to the store to buy her cigarettes when were twelve. And the store sold them to us! All we had to tell them was they were for our aunt. They did stuff like that back then.
Yep. My mom would send my sibs & me into Little Mosses (local little store; Big Mosses was the regular grocery store) for a gallon of milk & a pack of cigarettes many times when we were kids, all under 12 years old. Once in awhile, she'd say we could each get a candy bar, too. Wild times, the 70s. 😂
Our little corner store was called Fuzzy's (great hoagies) and whenever I was at my friend's house in elementary school, her mom would hand us a ten and tell us to go get her "cigarettes and a pound of jumbo...oh, and yinz can get some penny candy too". Back when it actually WAS a penny.
Omg that is so spot on! I remember going to my Grandmas in Allison Or aunts in Cokeburgh PA and that's exactly the things my father or mother would say. We used to go in the basement and play with the ringer washer! Oh the memories....
I thought it couldn't get more accurate after the laundry room and basement freezer then he started talking about stuffed cabbage and blend and I lost it. How does every pittsburgher have the same freaking memories. Minus the smoke at my grammas my pap-pap quit before I was born and he had an awesome basement with air hockey and lots of dress up clothes too you'd have to drag us out of there haha.
This brings back summer memories of going to my grandparents in Pittsburgh, they lived in an old house in Highland Park! The exercise bike in the basement along with all kinds of old rusty exercise equipment brings back endless memories.
Love the pope candle on the counter hahaha! Back when I was young, anytime a thunderstorm would blow in my mom would race up the stairs and grab the big white "church" candles, light them and put them in the bathtub.
I really love watching your videos, it reminds me of when I grew up in Pittsburgh with my family. Thank you for bringing back memories and reminding me of my family. 😄
I remember all the movies & tv shows that he mention & the Pizza Hut jug, but I really don't remember the VHS tapes holding that many movies on it lol. Except my grandparents didn't smoke. But my sister & I had fun when we went to visit them.
My "MiMa" would often give me cash and ask me to "run dahn the corner store" to get her a pack of cigarettes. The lady that worked at the corner store was probably older than my MiMa and she actually taught me how to calculate sales tax and make change. She sold little baggies of Swedish Fish for 50 cents. Good memories associated with this video.
I'm late to the party but just had to say how insanely accurate this was of life back in the day - the smoke, run to the store for cigarettes, plastic cover on the sofa, Gramps circus peanuts and the dreaded moth balls!
I was just thinking the other day how as kids we were allowed to run in the store and buy cigarettes for our parents, Did it all the time. And I still have a VHS tape that was made from HBO with Platoon, La Bamba, and Dirty Dancing on it. Doesn't get any better. Those were the days!
My parents have Ben Hur and Mickey Christmas Carol on recordable VHSes, amongst many other shows/movies like Cannonball Run, Dances with Wolves, etc., etc.! These videos are so true to (a Pittsburgher's) life it's scary and funny ;)
i have a coworker from south and shes constantly saying "What did you say?" What do you want? Ive had to splain gumbands and bushels and what a woosh rag was and i thought im just gona buy her a yinzer dictionary. I KNOW she makes fun of me. One of these day im gona tell her. Anyone can be like you talk like you look like you but only a yinzer talks looks and acts like me. We may be many but we are few. I miss my dad. He died last year and he had a strong nor side accent which i am proud to say I too am to busy to formulate my words into their proper enunciation according to anyone outside the tri state area . To us I saund just right.. Miss you dad. never a better and truer pittsburgh dad
I live in Central Pa and this looks exactly like the way we grew up in the 80s. Lived in the burgh for 6 years and it's still one of my favorite cities.
Sooo I may have just spent over an hour watching these videos. I'll admit I'm 31 and laughed so hard 🤣. My childhood. You just earned yourself another Subscriber!!!!
This reminds me of my grandma and grandpas place growing up, all outdated, smoke 4 feet off the floor, she used to have us looking for her tobacco to make more cigarettes and my grandpa fried everything in bacon grease! So spot on for a couple generations!
Sweet Jesus. I had a nightrider bigwheel at my gram and paps house. And it absolutely was always buried way in the back of the shed. And I'll be damned if there wasn't bees and wasps in there 100% of the time.
I remember when my uncle got out of the service..he was living with with my Grandpap and Grandma, then ..he bought them a colored TV...we would love to go to Grandma's and Grandpap's to watch colored TV. My Grandpap would roll his own papers with Cutty Pipe and Half and would have an empty can of Half and Half for his spit tune. Their whole house smelled of tobacco smoke...God how I miss them and those days.
Hey, my names Todd, we used to go to my aunt margerats trailer in mutual by westmoreland fairgrounds on friday nights. I love virginia slims to this day!! Thanks aunt maggie
This brings me back. I used to live with my gram. The smoke from Uncle George when he visited. The Popsicles in the fridge. I can't even tell you how many times we ate halushki.
Cliff Hartle Nice. No, but living with gram had its benefits. Never went hungry and usually spoiled. She always used to eat the fat and gristle left on the plates cuz "we can't waste that!"
The burning Pall Malls was the perfect touch... Oh, and the plastic on the couch... Oh, and the bacon grease... And, the multiple unrelated videos on on VCR tape...
I'm so happy that apparently every kid from the Pittsburgh area in the 80's and 90's had the exact same childhood I had.
This is spooky-accurate. Everything from the exercise bike in the basement to the multiple freezers, even the old fashioned oven in the background. Its amazing.
Dude my great aunt always had an exercise bike in her basement haha and a electric piano. Probably still there but I haven’t seen her house in awhile.
The crib liner in the basement yesss lol
Mom still has that same oven, JESUS!!!!
Listen up. The Pixburgh basement had a purpose. Extra shitter for the dirty Ironworker. He came and had to download his P-bros sammiches. And shake out his dirty undies. Don't forget that this was Pittsburgh 's history. The Pittsburgh basement is that for a reason. It was needed.
The most accurate video ever made.
Totally digging the "Pizza Hut" pitcher and "Blend" lemonade. The bit about opening all the containers to find everything but what you're looking for...priceless.
They could have at least put little labels made out of masking tape written in pencil. :)
Stephen Walker look at the old school ET glass lol
They could have made labels, but where's the comedy in reading a label?
Oh my God, my mom would put things in other containers. And plastic shopping bags. I left my shoes at her house. Came back and couldn't find them. She already put them in a plastic bag. I'm like what...
I'm from the good old Oil City and I swear this is a documentary of my early childhood. I remember being told to go downstairs to the basement and play and being bored out of my mind bc there was only the exercise bike or the old train toys my uncle used to play with.
@Cindy Mauro I have relatives from Oil City PA they’re really nice people
Same here!!
This is just exactly it. This is grandma's house. Gross with smoke, bottles of Canadian Club, 1960s furniture and cabinets, crummy old hard candies, quirky little things, kids hanging in the basement with weird stuff. Well done.
That's a real home. Plastic on the furniture. Smell of shitty candles until you cook. Home.
More of a documentary of our lives than a comedy sketch.
Robert Filbert Actually, it's a documentary of our lives that is a comedy sketch.
Robert Filbert exactly like my grammas house
true story I remember going into the store to get my mom smokes in the very early 90s .. I went to my dads for a summer .. came back ..went to go in for smokes for her?..no can do buddy that's against the law now ... she's out in the car you can see her through the window ..nope they cracked down we can be fined now .. that was it .. I think it was 92 into 93 ..
That Pizza Hut pitcher 👌🏼
"Product Placement." Ka-ching!
And the "ET" collector's glass!
The old exercise bike in the basement! YES!!!
LOL Why did my grandparents have one in the basement no one ever used? Same with a spare fridge and freezer from the '50s. Plus a spare room with canned goods from years ago
I think you are given one once you become a grandparent of at least 4 grand kids.
Omg yesss
This is like a total flashback to my childhood. Laughed so hard I had tears...
Love the JP II candle on the counter!!!!
I've seen A LOT of Pittsburgh Dad videos. In my opinion this is the funniest and most relatable installment
this is the most accurate thing i have ever watched. Both of my pittsburgh grandmothers houses were like this haha.
I love that when they open the window its like they elected a pope

"You can't assume nuthin' in this house." My grandmother saved containers too, and you never knew what might be stored in them. Well done.
Holy cow! 😂 I've never even been to Pittsburgh and this video totally captures my childhood!

Roast beef with potatoes and carrots
My mom, also a grandma, had smoked Pall Mall unfiltered for over 50 years, then switched to cigars because they were cheaper and wanted to "wean" herself off of smoking! Still going strong with Philly Titans at age 81! And drinking Miller Highlife!
This episode was gold! Who would down vote this? Ravens fan no doubt!
I love the blend jug behind the pizza hut pitcher.
hahaha. I remember my aunt sending me and my cousin to the store to buy her cigarettes when were twelve. And the store sold them to us! All we had to tell them was they were for our aunt. They did stuff like that back then.
The good old days lol! Now I still get carded for buying cigarettes and I'm 38...
rofyle yup! I even would do it less than 10 years ago
The Eradicator lol yep got smokes when I was 12 in 93 and now at 35 I get carded. Kids got plenty of drugs though.
Yep. My mom would send my sibs & me into Little Mosses (local little store; Big Mosses was the regular grocery store) for a gallon of milk & a pack of cigarettes many times when we were kids, all under 12 years old.

We grew up going to gram and granpas house every weekend and as a teen, I lived with them. This is completely accurate on an insane level
Omg the smoke
We Can’t BREATHE‼️‼️🥰🥰
You hit those memories/moments with everyone's gram's perfectly. Well done
LOL I totally relate to the multiple freezers in the house
This may be my favorite one yet. Mainly because I can relate to just about everything in it. Well done fellas.
Lost it at "deer meat"!
This brings back summer memories of going to my grandparents in Pittsburgh, they lived in an old house in Highland Park! The exercise bike in the basement along with all kinds of old rusty exercise equipment brings back endless memories.

I really love watching your videos, it reminds me of when I grew up in Pittsburgh with my family. Thank you for bringing back memories and reminding me of my family. 😄
It's not a basement, it's a cellar!
Reminds me exactly of weekends in Leetsdale at my own grandparents house. So great!!
This is one of my favorites! The props are spot on! And the note! This is so perfect!
It's common knowledge that you get sick if you go to bed with wet hair!
Then I should have perpetual pneumonia!
Fun fact: it also makes the heat rash on your neck you won't admit you have worse. Learned that thanks to my son.
I remember all the movies & tv shows that he mention & the Pizza Hut jug, but I really don't remember the VHS tapes holding that many movies on it lol. Except my grandparents didn't smoke. But my sister & I had fun when we went to visit them.

Wow, the ET cup and the Pizza Hut pitcher really take me back.
That smoke, that was totally my Gram's house when I was little!
this is definitely one of the best pittsburgh dad episodes. great work. hilarious !
I'm late to the party but just had to say how insanely accurate this was of life back in the day - the smoke, run to the store for cigarettes, plastic cover on the sofa, Gramps circus peanuts and the dreaded moth balls!
The Maulers shirt LOL. Halushki and stuff cabbage IS special!!!
I was just thinking the other day how as kids we were allowed to run in the store and buy cigarettes for our parents, Did it all the time. And I still have a VHS tape that was made from HBO with Platoon, La Bamba, and Dirty Dancing on it. Doesn't get any better. Those were the days!
The pizza hut jug😂 classic
My parents have Ben Hur and Mickey Christmas Carol on recordable VHSes, amongst many other shows/movies like Cannonball Run, Dances with Wolves, etc., etc.! These videos are so true to (a Pittsburgher's) life it's scary and funny ;)
You're funny, Pittsburgh Dad! My best friend lives in Pitt and I'm dying to visit but I live in Northern California. Still a Steelers fan though!
Oh Dear Lord! I'm still laughing! So much like my Gram & Pap's house. Thank you!
These just get better and better.
i have a coworker from south and shes constantly saying "What did you say?" What do you want?

Keep them coming! We love them, thanks for the great laughs.
I swear everyone's gramma smoked Pall Malls.
this is my favorite episode cause it has background character development
I live in Central Pa and this looks exactly like the way we grew up in the 80s. Lived in the burgh for 6 years and it's still one of my favorite cities.
this vídeo make me feel so old keep up the good job
Sooo I may have just spent over an hour watching these videos. I'll admit I'm 31 and laughed so hard 🤣. My childhood. You just earned yourself another Subscriber!!!!
LOVE the Maulers Shirt !!!
This reminds me of my grandma and grandpas place growing up, all outdated, smoke 4 feet off the floor, she used to have us looking for her tobacco to make more cigarettes and my grandpa fried everything in bacon grease! So spot on for a couple generations!
Sweet Jesus. I had a nightrider bigwheel at my gram and paps house. And it absolutely was always buried way in the back of the shed. And I'll be damned if there wasn't bees and wasps in there 100% of the time.
All I can say is this video is so darn funny love it I laughed until I cried😂❤😂❤
I remember when my uncle got out of the service..he was living with with my Grandpap and Grandma, then ..he bought them a colored TV...we would love to go to Grandma's and Grandpap's to watch colored TV.

Amazing. So many flashbacks.
I really want one of those Maulers shirts!!!!
My mother was from around Kittanning PA and this so reminds me of growing up. Keep up the great videos!
grew up in kittanning ,, ford city now .
My grandparents live in Fairmont West Virginia, but it is a very similar culture
Reminded me of my grandpaws house in Harisburgh but the ashtray was much bigger! And there was Charlie chips and a jar full of dum dums:)
So true, my late grandmother smoked like a chimney, kept everything in old Cool Whip containers, and everything smelled like mothballs.
Is that Lemon Blennd I spy? That was such a treat when I visited my gram and pap.
Totally popped for the Gansett can. Glad to see it made it to Pittsburgh.
this is one funny dude he cracks me up
Love the Maulers t-shirt, Pizza Hut pitcher and ET glass. Holy crap, that’s hilarious.
Awesome Maulers t-shirt there.
Look at the Pope candle on the counter! "Try on Grandmas' coats if you're bored!" So funny, this one is like memory lane.
So spooky-accurate!! Love it
Now that was spot on!!
This brought back memories lol! The good old days.

This brings me back. I used to live with my gram. The smoke from Uncle George when he visited. The Popsicles in the fridge. I can't even tell you how many times we ate halushki.
Did you get both halves or did you have to share?
Cliff Hartle haha. Yeah, usually me and my cousin would split them so we could try two different flavors
Nathan Alfano You got two halfs!!!
Your gram must have been rich and lived in Mt Lebanon. :)
Cliff Hartle Nice. No, but living with gram had its benefits. Never went hungry and usually spoiled. She always used to eat the fat and gristle left on the plates cuz "we can't waste that!"
Lawn Darts
It’s a wonder we’re not dead🤩🤩
Is that really a maulers t-shirt? That's so awesome I remember going to like 2 games.
The burning Pall Malls was the perfect touch... Oh, and the plastic on the couch... Oh, and the bacon grease... And, the multiple unrelated videos on on VCR tape...
