I mean seriously the #1 responses of fathers when they get any present is “how much $ did you spend on this?”, “was this expensive?”, “where did you get it?”, “ did you keep the receipt?”
Joshua Ash when I would go on vacation, my dad always said, “bring me back a fishing pole.” The one time I did, he complained I spend too much. Like dude. You got a fishing pole, can you be grateful. 😂
Because if there’s something he wants he’s already researched what’s the best quality, what feels best, what has best reviews. And he bought it already
I'm not even a dad and I think these things when I receive birthday and Christmas gifts (as an adult, not when I was a kid). So I wonder is this a "dad" thing, or a "man" thing.
My father took me out for ice cream at least 3 times. He was very frugal but Thrifty cones were a nickel. He didn’t like chocolate, so I wasn’t allowed chocolate. I couldn’t think of anything else, so he would pick something random like lemon pistachio. I could sort of taste ice cream goodness in between the lemon and nuts. A couple of times he drove us to Tijuana by way of Disneyland or San Diego Zoo. I think he wanted us to see true poverty so we’d be more grateful with what we had, like shoes to wear and walls and ceilings at home. I was the youngest of 4 kids, so the parents had their own room and bathroom at the Travelodge. I don’t think any of us were happy, but I finally appreciate that he was the Dad. He provided what we needed and even took us on trips. Other than Disneyland, I didn’t think the rest was a big deal. I’ve taken insults from Europeans for not crossing oceans when I was young. But our big drive from LA to Tijuana was a big deal, because he was giving us the summer vacation trip and it was the most he could afford. It was the best he ever had and he did it for us.
Yeah my dad's not going to read a book for fun. Dads are tired. Always. Too tired to read. They get home from spending 9 hours fixing broken stuff. They just want to sit down and mindlessly watch Alaskan State Troopers. Or Deadliest Catch. Or some show about parking enforcement. If I wanted to get my dad a book he might actually read, I'd find and download the owners manual to that damn 20 year old lawnmower that's always acting up. Print it out and laminate all the pages so it's waterproof and can stay out in the shed. Bind it all together. Mind you, he doesn't want a new lawnmower. He already has a lawnmower. If you got him a new one, he'd have to figure out something to do with the old one. It won't fit in the garbage can. He's not going to leave it out on the curb so someone else can get a free one. Why should they get a free one and fix it when he could have fixed it. But he doesn't want to fix it. That's too much work. He just wants it to work for 1 hour, once a week. No need to get a new lawnmower when you only use it for 1 hour, once a week. Thus is the dichotomy of dad.
Nothing ! Save your money ! That's what my Dad always said . My Dad also told us the ice cream truck only played music when it was OUT OF ICE CREAM (>ლ)
Yes! My mom told me it was the Music Man who only played music when we ran inside. Probably so we wouldn't notice that the Music Man has pictures of Ice Cream all over his truck!
Who IS this guy and why haven't I heard of him before? He is hilarious! Some of the intonations and glances he gives are subtle but that's what makes them even more genuine and funnier.
@T J women usually want something men just get it themselves. Unless you know your father's favorite team favorite car or favorite country to visit their is nothing you can get him. Maybe give him his favorite food and alone time.
@@jayTerry9 but how can YOU NOT know those 3 basic things about your father though? Favorite team, car, and country?? Well if it's not the Patriots, a Ford and America, then he isn't your father. He's your mother.
@@jayTerry9 I agree. I don't think this is just a father thing. I think it's a man thing. or it's a father thing and me. When I receive gifts for Christmas or birthday and it's something I want, I always appreciate the thought, but I wonder how much was spent on it. Because if it's something I've been wanting and I haven't gone out and bought it yet, it's because I've been doing research. My fear is that they overspent. Or they got what I wanted, but it isn't the exact model, spec, quality, brand that I wanted. I agree with Frank Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond. The episode "The Gift". You know what's a nice gift, one of those magnetic coin holders for your car. $1.50 at any car wash. that's a good gift for a father. I don't have to like it. I don't have to feel obligated to use it. It's cheap and it says they remembered me.
Have you ever woken up for no reason on family vacation, thought about all the things that as a father drives you crazy on said vacation, decided to watch UA-cam to see people more miserable than you but then find a man who does this exact thing better than you? I have. Love Tom Papa! Laughed so hard at this.
That is so true! I don't even ask my Mum what my Dad wants for his Birthday, he just scolds us for ever giving him presents. The only thing my Father wants is to sit on the couch and watch the discovery channel.
That's all the little brats need 😶💛 Can't spoil them with cones and samples and more than two toppings... They grow up to be absolutely useless. Look at steve bing or prince harry or andrew 😒😶
Damn, Papa killed. I was afraid Colbert wouldn't give him time but Papa took time. That was funny and cool as Hell, to see him come on like a boss. Cheers Papa my, boy, well done.
So glad to see him back doing the rounds. He’s hilarious. I took a flight back to LA with him about 10 years ago. I’ve been wondering where he went away to.
One of the things I love about Tom Papa is he isn't vulgar like so many other "comedians". So many times I have started to listen to one, and their language is so offensive, just a constant string of profanities, that I turn them off. Real funny doesn't need the "f" word!!!
I don't even remember ever getting anything for my dad... when I'm a dad don't make a paper tie for me. It might be cute but I'm not wearing it to work. I don't even wear regular ties to work!
I watched this video and laughed and laughed. Then I remembered I'm going on family vacation this weekend, on Father's Day... to the in-laws' place. Dammit.
Melinda Virosteck didnt you watch it properly...it says clearly.."NO FATHER WANTS ANYTHING FOR FATHER'S DAY!!!" ... go hang out with your dad and let him be . ✌
Dad does want something...some peace and damn quiet, time alone with the gaming console of his choosing, and some sloppy toppy when the kids go to bed. That’s all.
Ugh, men have to stay the same. I love going through phases too much and get surprised when other things change. thank you Tom Papa for understanding the constant art project; my face that im in love with.
My apologies... I dint know... But isnt the fact that a person such as me who doesnt know that he is a standup comedian, saying that he would do well as a standup comedian is a sort of praise to him...
I would like to use the bathroom in peace just once, or find my tools back where they belong. Or that you didn't park the truck with an empty tank. That's it. Happy Father's day.
I hate that when talking about wives and daughters the first thing they say is “they are so beautiful, she is so beautiful.” I don’t want to be defined by my beauty! And there are billions of ugly women who are quality women!
Thank you!! It's such a bullshitty restricted answer. As if they are afraid to say anything of value. Can you imagine just simply saying my sons are handsome, and that's all you got?!
He said it with a tone that makes me think he’s seen tears for forgetting to compliment them. Smart, creative, are great, but a girl needs to know that her Daddy thought she was pretty. I don’t understand it, but if he never tells you, it hurts.
When I was seven we had a car trip planed to visit the grandparents (moms family) for Easter, but a few days before the trip I was playing in the car and put it in reverse and it rolled into a tree. Did a little damage, I thought I was gonna be killed by my dad! He just had a little grin on his face when he said " Damn I guess the trip is off need to repair the car"! And then patted me on the sholder and I swear he whispered "good job"!
I discovered this guy kinda by accident about 8 years ago, and he’s been one of my favorites ever since. I have, since discovering him, also had two daughters. He’s more relevant to me now than ever. Everything he has said about raising two girls has been 100% true to this point.
One of the top comedians today who has been working for 25 years. He missed the Johnny Carson show by just a year, but made many appearances on Letterman, Conan, and Leno. Check some of them out for intelligent and hilarious comedy.
Saw him perform live; after the show, he graciously met & took photos w/ everyone. A real pro & a class act 100%
Tom has timeless comedy. He could tell the same jokes in 1951 and not even change his look.
I mean seriously the #1 responses of fathers when they get any present is
“how much $ did you spend on this?”,
“was this expensive?”,
“where did you get it?”,
“ did you keep the receipt?”
Joshua Ash when I would go on vacation, my dad always said, “bring me back a fishing pole.” The one time I did, he complained I spend too much. Like dude. You got a fishing pole, can you be grateful. 😂
Thought it was just my dad, he would take me back to the store to return it, so I just gave up
Because if there’s something he wants he’s already researched what’s the best quality, what feels best, what has best reviews. And he bought it already
I'm not even a dad and I think these things when I receive birthday and Christmas gifts (as an adult, not when I was a kid). So I wonder is this a "dad" thing, or a "man" thing.
"I have no way of knowing that." HAHAHAHAHAH Tom Papa is a fucking national treasure.
Steven losing it during the dad in the hotel bit!😂😂😂

Tom Papa, you're a gem, and this is a favorite interview. I come here, when I need a laugh, and it never disappoints. My endless thanks.
Lol being in the pool with people you'd otherwise avoid on the streets 😂😂😂 soooo true
I’m a week away from 23, unmarried, no kids… and I relate to Tom Papa on such a deep level.
sorry
Polar bear rummaging through a dumpster full of balloons?
He went for it with that one, Tom with his joke AND his father, HEYOOOOOO.
Blak i didnt get it
Yeah my dad's not going to read a book for fun.

This is glorious, near-poetry
Pay for the repair...
*Daughter's thinking about the conundrum*
STEPHEN! Unexpectedly one of the best, most insightful interviews EVER! I'll watch this again and again!
Hilarious! The polar bear balloon joke is pure genius.
Sarah Nichols Stephen couldn't keep a straight face :-)
Stephen sure loved it!!
@@serene5345 who's Steven?? And so do all of y'all in here know each other or just all know the same person or something?? Just wondering tbh.
@@josephblanchard6248 Stephen Colbert is the person doing the interview.
Great children's book title: "If You Buy a Clam a Sweater".
...It's not gonna wear it and neither is your father"
Or "The Clam's Sweater", "The Sweater Of The Clam' or "The Clam Loses It's Sweater" or "There's White Sauce On The Clam's Sweater Again..."
Nothing ! Save your money ! That's what my Dad always said . My Dad also told us the ice cream truck only played music when it was OUT OF ICE CREAM (>ლ)
Now, that's funny!
Diabolical yet genius. LOL
Well, yeah.
Everyone knows when the play music it's to let you know they've run out.
........
Oh.
ThE DuCk Are you trying to tell me my whole life has been a lie?
Yes! My mom told me it was the Music Man who only played music when we ran inside. Probably so we wouldn't notice that the Music Man has pictures of Ice Cream all over his truck!
Happy Father's Day Tom Papa😊
That was a funny conversation. Even his name is perfect for father's day.
yashiWinchest
Who IS this guy and why haven't I heard of him before? He is hilarious! Some of the intonations and glances he gives are subtle but that's what makes them even more genuine and funnier.
Johnny Shabazz
Why are you pretending to be Nick Offerman?
Because he is SOOOOO much more handsome than I am!
i just find out his talks, on facebook, youtube , Spotify , he is really funny
@@cys1817 so Facebook, UA-cam and Spotify and ect are all funny topics??
Oh and you probably haven't heard of him because he doesn't tour through Indiana much
I agree, as a father, I dont want anything for fathers day.

yep me neither , i just want them to leave me alone for a while
Never heard of this guy before but I'm glad I have now! Frig, he's funny.
If frig is a part of your vocabulary, then his comedy and material is perfectly suited for you and right up your alley tbh.
Two of my favorites in one video!
Have you ever woken up for no reason on family vacation, thought about all the things that as a father drives you crazy on said vacation, decided to watch UA-cam to see people more miserable than you but then find a man who does this exact thing better than you? I have.
Love Tom Papa! Laughed so hard at this.
@D Hill well why would you even take a vacation to Transylvania in the first place tho
How am I just learning about this guy? He is hilarious!
Dont know him, but he's funny!
Check him out. He's funny.
Tom Papa is just fucking hilarious
This guy is spot on!
this man deserves a high five, because he is correct.
This gut is hilarious. My jaw still hurts and he told all those jokes with a straight face.
That is so true! I don't even ask my Mum what my Dad wants for his Birthday, he just scolds us for ever giving him presents. The only thing my Father wants is to sit on the couch and watch the discovery channel.
This man gets me
Polar bear rummaging through a dumpster full of balloons. LMAO.
One scoop of vanilla, no cone, put out your hands. Pfffffffff hahahaha :)
That's all the little brats need 😶💛
Can't spoil them with cones and samples and more than two toppings...
They grow up to be absolutely useless. Look at steve bing or prince harry or andrew 😒😶
My father wants to be left alone...lol! He says the same thing every year!
Omg first my side now everything hurts from so much laughing.
If you guys want more Tom papa he recently did the Joe rogan podcast and I highly recommend it because this guy is hilarious
Darth Star Killer ' '
Darth Star Killer thanks🙏..he is hilarious 🤣🤣
When I saw the title of this video my first thought was he got that from his conversation with Joe
also Tom Papa has his own podcast called "Come to Papa" you can listen to it on soundcloud soundcloud.com/cometopapa
Thanks :)
Not knowing the guy, I've expected that interview to be really boring.. so glad I've watched anyway :)
He's so funny, he's been around for years.
miss fluffy buns me too🤣🤣🤣
If you have Spotify, he's well worth a listen. One of the funniest guys around!
haha do yourself a favor and watch his comedy specials.....
Check Out Tom papa../if you're married.you win.
Tom Papa is really the best.
He's still working? I loved this guy.
Tom Papa sounds like Jim Gaffigan!! LOL
Damn, Papa killed. I was afraid Colbert wouldn't give him time but Papa took time. That was funny and cool as Hell, to see him come on like a boss. Cheers Papa my, boy, well done.
Happy Papa's Day. Great appearance.👌👍👊
Doesn't Tom Papa look like Johnny Knoxville's conservative older brother.
Johnny's life choices don't look so ill-chosen after all, now, do they? He's still out there, living free, in the wild....
nah... Tom Papa looks like a retired gay football player
Nailed it
The fact that he isn't in a weekend Oom - pah - pah band is criminal.
Funny guy this Tom Papa, happy I watched.
EVERY TIME I laugh every time I watch Tom Papa --- be it stand-up or an interview, or whatever.
Such a funny guy and the book of awesome!
Hate to say I never heard of him (I don't live in the USA and never watch TV) but he is hilarious. I'll look for more of him. :)
I love it when they call me Tom Papa, I only eat bread if it's baked propa'.
+100
Made my day.
I see some ladies tonight who will be embarrassed by me daily, baby.
Haha Tom needs to see this
Not bad 👍
Stephen, please wear black lipstick in the next episode you record...!❤😂
Michael Berthelsen YES!!!!! Somebody had to say it!
What a funny guy!!!! I can relate to everything he just said!
I love this dude
So glad to see him back doing the rounds. He’s hilarious. I took a flight back to LA with him about 10 years ago. I’ve been wondering where he went away to.
Why do i love this guy? Tom Papa is da man.
Colbert’s interviews work well with Comedians and political people. The celebrities are are hit or miss.
One of the things I love about Tom Papa is he isn't vulgar like so many other "comedians". So many times I have started to listen to one, and their language is so offensive, just a constant string of profanities, that I turn them off. Real funny doesn't need the "f" word!!!
That's exaktly right... last year my husband and I ended up just driving.... away and back with me crying from being tired.... ah life!
I agree with Tom Papa. My dad just likes getting take out. He doesn't want presents, he just wants to be with us.
I don't even remember ever getting anything for my dad... when I'm a dad don't make a paper tie for me. It might be cute but I'm not wearing it to work. I don't even wear regular ties to work!
He is SO right! On everything 😂😂😂 #EvenKnowImTheMother
Have you ever read Tom Papa's quotes in his voice? I have.
I subconsciously just did it reading your comment and then again while writing this message.. xD
This guy's better than all those standups Colbert brings on.
Often the standups are up and comers getting a break into TV, Tom Papa has been doing this 30 years
He’s perfect if the Simpsons have a live-action movie. Get rid the glasses and..... it’s Homer.
Bruce Nguyen im thinking slim down and u have a good Joker or The Riddler
The new special is so good.
He´s going to sell a lot of books
I watched this video and laughed and laughed. Then I remembered I'm going on family vacation this weekend, on Father's Day... to the in-laws' place. Dammit.
omg. laughed so hard. right on the money.
I laughed til I wept. I am stoned, but still.
Me too
Stephen didn't hold this interview we'll, tom was carrying it by itself...
Tom Papa is the best
Come to Papa - kills it again!
Tom papa is my future spirit animal
Tom, you make us all smile! Family vacations are the worst lol...........
Tom Papa is awesome!
Phew I'm glad I watched this! I had no clue father's day is Sunday! Time to bust out the craft supplies with my lovely Lotus...or not?
Melinda Virosteck didnt you watch it properly...it says clearly.."NO FATHER WANTS ANYTHING FOR FATHER'S DAY!!!" ... go hang out with your dad and let him be . ✌
Dad does want something...some peace and damn quiet, time alone with the gaming console of his choosing, and some sloppy toppy when the kids go to bed. That’s all.
Best presents for Fathers Day.
1) Quiet
2) Simple,favorite, home cooked meal
3) Easy sex or better, more quiet.
Thank you for giving sound advice on what to get our fathers, although the third one might be a little challenging.
John Mista Those sound more like anniversary gifts from a spouse! Especially 2 and 3
John Mista sweet home Alabama 😂
Number 3, aka gtfo of the house (but make sure it's clean first).
Ugh, men have to stay the same. I love going through phases too much and get surprised when other things change. thank you Tom Papa for understanding the constant art project; my face that im in love with.
OK, I totally just started to google what month Father’s Day was in Colbert said it!
He would make a great stand up comedian.
selvaracp08 If only he was one, with UA-cam videos and a decade of standup history...if only.
My apologies... I dint know... But isnt the fact that a person such as me who doesnt know that he is a standup comedian, saying that he would do well as a standup comedian is a sort of praise to him...
I would like to use the bathroom in peace just once, or find my tools back where they belong. Or that you didn't park the truck with an empty tank. That's it. Happy Father's day.
I've never heard of him, he's hilarious.
I hate that when talking about wives and daughters the first thing they say is “they are so beautiful, she is so beautiful.” I don’t want to be defined by my beauty! And there are billions of ugly women who are quality women!
don't worry, you don't suffer from beauty....
All fathers and mothers think their daughters are beautiful.
Thank you!! It's such a bullshitty restricted answer. As if they are afraid to say anything of value. Can you imagine just simply saying my sons are handsome, and that's all you got?!
He said it with a tone that makes me think he’s seen tears for forgetting to compliment them. Smart, creative, are great, but a girl needs to know that her Daddy thought she was pretty. I don’t understand it, but if he never tells you, it hurts.
Colberts last quip was top notch.
I love this Guy!!!! I Miss his Show! 😍😂😂😂
Man I can actually see Stephen Colbert going Goth.
LOL
I LOVE THIS GUY
So true.
When I was seven we had a car trip planed to visit the grandparents (moms family) for Easter, but a few days before the trip I was playing in the car and put it in reverse and it rolled into a tree. Did a little damage, I thought I was gonna be killed by my dad! He just had a little grin on his face when he said " Damn I guess the trip is off need to repair the car"! And then patted me on the sholder and I swear he whispered "good job"!
Many fathers also want to be able to see their children on father's day...
true
If you watch the video, he says that.
This guy has a Netflix show....check it out, very funny
Hilarious and true. This fellow reminds me of Calvin Trillin.
I discovered this guy kinda by accident about 8 years ago, and he’s been one of my favorites ever since. I have, since discovering him, also had two daughters. He’s more relevant to me now than ever. Everything he has said about raising two girls has been 100% true to this point.
He is right!!! My fam ask me wat do I want? I said nothing... WAIT I want fo everyone to live for the day wait!!! Maybe a week huh
There really isn't much point to giving someone a present they can easily buy themselves.
I just found my new favorite person.
Seinfeld has that great line about dad's vacation.
One of the top comedians today who has been working for 25 years. He missed the Johnny Carson show by just a year, but made many appearances on Letterman, Conan, and Leno. Check some of them out for intelligent and hilarious comedy.
I don't know who this guy is but hes funny.
Pay attention Col-Bert, this is what funny people sound like.
Tom Papa is so fucking funny! He's the best!
