"i can only explain so many things in a day, if i'm being honest." 😂
As a dad of little kids who never stop asking questions, I can fully relate to that statement.
I loved that bit
this is the most i've ever related to anything in my life lol
I laughed out so loud at this!!!! I am still laughing as I type....🤣🤣🤣
As an English major, I love this. When he leans over and says: "I'm going to need more context," that is brilliant.
He should have started with that.
The daughter's face was priceless. Great short!
And the brown marker the whole time . . .
Now I want another scene when she's back at her Mom's house 😄
@@etcetraetcetra3173Oooooo…yeassss….that would be great, get both sides😁
@@etcetraetcetra3173That, I want to see 😂
F-bomb basic definition is "to make love to someone you don't even like". Brilliant!!! Beyond brilliant!!!!!
"Why would you do that?" ... "I wouldn't. I wouldn't."
Sometimes you love each other and still want to F*ck. 🤷♀
It’s terrible tho.
Great explanation. What struck me is that I grew up in a time in which fathers and daughters could never have had this conversation. What a difference such trust and honesty would have made!
Why, I was a brave father and had these conversations.
I grew up in the same era only we never had to ask our father 😂 we knew what swearing was as 5 year olds
I talked w/ mine like that - ‘course I’ve been divorced for 25 yrs & my granddaughter got even less of a filter.
They’re fine.
Really.
I once had a similar conversation with someone whose first language is not English. It was quite entertaining and I remember it fondly.
I'll bet you ------- do.
Well, maybe minus the bitter complaining and back biting od the girl's mother. 18 is soon enough to discuss the other parent that way.
Farking brilliant. As an Australian, this word is a staple in our vernacular.
I"m guessing it's a staple in most places and languages.
Oh, okay. 😂
Even our Aussie ravens say it.
Fekkin A!

Absolutely brilliant. This should be in every film festival.
& school recess!
Agreed! Here are some emojis to denote my conviction. 🎥🎞🎬
It should be in every classroom.😂 just kidding!
Truly the most versatile word on the planet. It is used in almost every language. It crosses every boundary.
That was art.
💯
“Do you know about the cognates? The cognates are amazing”. Brilliant.
Should be compounds, not cognates. Cognates are a different thing.
@@babababad Like how the Dutch are very into horse-fokking.
She will never ask him anything again. He did a great job of explaining it.
This short wins the internet!
Amazing father being able to talk things out like this while other parents would avoid it. Great short
Though he doesn't seem to be handling his divorce appropriately in front of his child....
@@lorinichols1847 Who are you to define "appropriate"?
@@echt114 The same general sort of person as all of the others commenting on YT videos. Duh. The word "seem" is a qualifier that suggests it is my opinion, not a definition. Duh. And the scenario is fictional. Duh.
@@lorinichols1847 Did you for some reason think I was NOT talking about your opinion? Just to be clear, I was talking about your opinion. I was also dropping an unstated hint that it was a dumb one. Not because of the rightness or wrongness of his speaking of the divorce in a particular way, but the idea that YOU can have the kind of certainty you seem to have about what's "appropriate" for others.
@@echt114opinions are like what? And everybody has one.
the very end....priceless!
😂😂
....it was a LOT of brown....🎉
The sketch was funny but the end is what really sold it.
That kid clearly deeply regrets asking that question.
Doesn't seem like it!
I don't see regrets on either side of the conversation.
This is scripted it's a short film so the girl is an actor, a very professional one 🎉
I don't think she's been programmed by cynical idiot culture yet, so no, she wouldn't regret asking. Unlike those programmed by cynical idiot culture, she doesn't seem to have the attention span of a nervous squirrel.
Of him, at least. She was just looking for an intro into talking about being excluded, at school - not that any kid’s gotten a more comprehensive definition.
Nothing like quality daddy/daughter time
Growing up we were allowed to cuss all we wanted but we were not allowed to use derogatory words against people or their religion. It was a great foundation. The F word is so useful in so many ways.
Same. We couldn’t say the ‘s’ word, until age 11, but by 12, all cuss words were fair game - except for the ‘F’ word. Had to have a driver’s license, for that 😄
After all George Carlin always said Fuck’s a friendly word.
@@kittywalker2944 Excellent! You could use it once you had a driver's license. I find that much better then the unrealistic "never".
I once met a woman (though her boyfriend) who still, even as an adult, took literally her parents' admonition, when she was a child, to never speak to strangers.
We knew not to swear growing up. The worst word I heard my mother say was ruddy. But we were encouraged to use derogatory terms against religion and think for ourselves. Common-sense I'm still grateful for to this day.
@@SamStone1964Never ever in my life ever heard of the swear word “ruddy.”🤔
Thoroughly enjoyed this short and learning all the proper ways to use the "F" word in the english language. What a diverse word. I appreciate it being so flexible and useful.
Brilliant. Perfect in every word and gesture I’d like to study the entire English language with these two.
Delaney Quinn & Chris Gethard are both effing hilariously awesome 🤩
What a brave dialogue in a brie brave presentation. Kudos to the young lady and the actors involved with this many thanks
Brilliantly acted. This begets a series - of flexible 'bad words' 😁
"And now that you know it, the most important thing is that you never ever say it." 😂
Lol…that kid’s face is perfect
The New Yorker DELIVERS
It is the perfect word - verb, noun, adjective…list goes on and on! ❤
Hilariously brilliant. 👏
That kid is so sweet!!
That girl is a future Oscar winner.
This is soooo NEW YORK. You just use it all the time. No lie. All the time. All the time 😂
seriously, this is adorable - an open & honest conversation between a dad & his daughter. it *is* a really useful & diverse term. I had a similar relationship with my dad - (thought not about this LOL) - he was also very practical & loved language. he always treated me like a mini-adult not as a child, which, when I was a child & still as an adult, I really appreciated.
“You learned about nouns.” Hahaha😂
I remember the first time I heard my son use this word (middle school). I didn't flip out, or scold him in any way. I simply told him that I know kids talk that way, but I never want to hear him saying that in front of adults, family, or social gatherings. That worked for us... Great video.
The kid's drawing kept changing.
CGI. They spared no costs
@@CatatonicImperfect True. I mean they had to. You can't trust art like that to some kid in a serious film like this!
Of course it did. I track visual and story continuity. She had to draw this multiple times over multiple angles in multiple takes. It’s never going to be the same drawing. 😑 it’s not like all the camera angles are being shot at once
He was so excited to talk about the word that he didn't acknowledge that nobody wanted to play with his kid. Humans are gloriously imperfect and just trying to figure things out as we go.
I think that's kinda the whole point. But also, that the daughter was kind of empowered by the end, however imperfectly he got her there in his bumbling dad way.
But yet he taught her how to follow the rules but to be able to use that little nugget when necessary. Brilliant!
I believe that's called "the joke"
😂 “and now that you know it you should never say it again”
I had to explain what the F word meant to my kid and in return he explained to me what non-binary meant.
that's fair 😂
😂
Is there such a thing as binary?
@@charlenemack7040 Yes
Hopefully you both learned something, but it was your responsibility to understand what nonbinary meant.
Will Become a Classic, the tone and presentation is ..ucking pitch perfect!!
Wish my dad had given this answer when I asked in 3rd grade !
Clearly this kid should have gone to Samuel L. Jackon.
Lol
Samuel L Jackson made the word classic when wrote and read his book "go the f*** to sleep" 🤣
Or Joe Pesci 😂
I'm sure mommy's boyfriend also said it.
More like did it than said it
Dad going into full depth charge with Fuckery Galore.
This was Brill, just Brill 😄.
I like the line I can only explain so much in one day😅
F*** me, that was fabulous!
This short was f*cking awesome!
너무 솔직한 아버님 😂😅
I taught English as a Second Language last year to newcomer high schoolers and told them nothing (within reason) was off limits. This was essentially an entire class period.
This is how I talk to my kids too & let’s see how they turn out 🤷🏻♀️
my dad talked to me like this - as a mini adult, not as a kid. open & honest. I appreciated it as a kid, and as an adult.
I'm very pleased with how my son turned out. We always spoke with him this way, although we never had this particular conversation. I support the approach. 🙂
Us too and both of them, now in their late 20’s, have turned out just fine.
They’re both kinder and better humans than we were at their age, less inclined to act before they’ve thought and more aware of how others are responding to their influence.
As their step-dad and a relatively late addition to their family I don’t think I’m too guilty of the dreaded parental bias. The fact they’ve turned out ok is far more due to their mother’s input than mine.
It takes a child to ask a simple question for a grown-up to make it into a monologue.
No kidding. Just ask my kid. I'm the worst at this because I want them to have all the info but I take it too far I suppose.
The acting/editing is so sharp.
Daughter is a great actor.
Infuckingcredible!
The father thoroughly enjoyed explaining the “F” word to his daughter:)
Great to see Chris Gethard! One of the most delightful weirdos in comedy.
3:03 This was so much of my childhood. I cannot stop laughing.
That was excellent! I wish I had that conversation with my son.
Two things wrong here- he's swearing, while explaining, and she's swearing too!
@@pauljohnson6019 I don't see the problem.
@pauljohnson6019 ...He's EXPLAINING the meanings...using explanations is necessary. ..she asked the question....it deserves to be answered HONESTY. ...words aren't scary dude.
F*cking genius 😂
That poor guy, ... and that lucky daughter!
Except he missed the whole point that the other kid wouldn't let her play the game with them.
@@UkeCan1 but now she knows what she could tell her.. (but shouldn't)
That was amazing, hilarious and absolutely true…
I told my kids it is peer language. So you wouldn’t say it to your kids unless/until they’re your peers
It is not a bad word but some people will judge you badly fir using it so make sure you know they’re your peer before using it infront of others
Instead of saying it’s a “bad word”, I think it’s better to say it’s an adult word.
It's still a 'bad' word though so...
We refer to bad words as “mommy” words…she uses them way more freely than I do.
I've been teaching middle school long enough to know parents don't explain complicated social issues to their children. They expect their teachers to do it. I guess, in order to have some one else to blame. A Little teacher's truth.
HAHA! This made me laugh. It reminded me of my child asking what it meant. Excellent short.
So fun to see Chris Gethard doing something a little different than what he usually does.
Is he still stuck in his self-loathing male feminista trap?
Im extremely happy to see him still breathing; he’s been through a lot.
@@InAHollowTree Most of us are not.
I loved the credits, and the two encores! Very well done.
The dad really went all out! The dad was fantastic 😂😊
Thanks for my first laugh of the day. This was so cute!
This reminds me of when my daughters taught me how to use the word.
Or maybe this child might like to just say "Biscuits'. Like they do in Bluey.
That's not NEAR as fun.
My granny said "fadoochee" lol
Neva use it...? F**** that!!! 😂😂😂😂
Bond is great between.
Love it!
I know I probably shouldn't say, but this was hilarious 😂. My parents would have never taken the time to explain the F word (or any word) for that matter. I was at my moms best friends house while she was away, Francis had two boys and one morning I was in their bedroom trying to come up with a new name for Flipper (the dolphin). So at one point I said Fker having no idea it was even a word lol, the boys backed up in their beds, eyes wide saying to me, that's the King of the nasties (had no idea what that phrase meant either), Francis flew into the room, turned me around and started spanking me, I started crying explaining about Flipper, she realized I was genuinely clueless, she then grabbed and hugged me while saying, don't ever say that word again,lol. I didn't ever say that word again until I was 21,lol.
oceanwoods,
Thanks, this was back in the 60's, the moment Francis understood I had no idea what I said, she stopped and started laughing while hugging me saying don't ever use that word again. All was forgiven,lol.❤️
Hey clueless people. This isn’t real.
@@MD-bu3xc Are you okay?
I found myself constantly wondering if the father and daughter were actually in the same room ...
Thank You!!♥️
This was hilarious, but just to be precise, fuckstick is not a cognate, it's a compound.
Brilliantly done in so many ways
Fing brilliant!
This was excellent lol
F*@king GREAT!
Oh my Lord I grew up in the fifties when you didn't get to say *anything*! (although my mother was French and I'm sure she was swearing at times--o, putain--but I didn't know) . Slowly slowly added a few words, until finally had the full range by the time I was in college. Fast forward a few decades and my elderly mom has finally embraced how wonderful the f-word is, but I have to say it was still startling to hear her say it. But boy was she entitled. I think we all are.
Made my month watching this with my two girls
Absolutely priceless.
This is just brilliant! ❤
Precious. ❤
😂😂😂 I love that it was going to be a sh1t show if the boyfriend was using it, he then proceeds with a full on academic course. 😂😂😂
Absolutely beautiful. ❤
Love this.
Fantastic 👏
Absolutely Great.
That was fun! Thank you!
This was fantastic!!!
I loved this!
Pure genius!
Thank you 😁 Gold!
I’m hollering 😂😂😂
Thank you, excellent!
omg was brilliant!!
I love this so very much.
