    Still takes some getting used to, seeing these two as greying dad types. 2009 sometimes doesn't seem that far away. And yet at other times it feels like a lifetime ago. So, so good to see the guys back though.

      Me too, friend. Felt like I was a similar age to them while the FotC series was running. In my 30s but still youthful enough that the world was still full of possibility. Now they look old, and I'm suddenly confronted with the fact that I'm only a couple of years away from looking exactly the same.

    • @TheHongKongHermit

  • @happytime11
    @happytime11 5 років тому +226

    I think this may be FOTC's best work to date. Even after hearing it multiple times I still feel moved by the father and son reminiscing about their day together at the beginning of the song. Then Bret's line "she just hooked up with another guy" always cracks me up. The way this song can lure you into one feeling and then shatter it, I believe only true art can really manipulate your feelings like that. The last part also got me thinking, why does the 33-year old son still want to sit on his Dad's knee and hear his advice? Did he grow up and realise he needed his Dad after all? But his Dad, tired of being cruelly thrown out and shunned, feels like he can't make up that relationship again that was snatched away from him?
    Or maybe 33 just rhymes with knee.

    • @DavidAddis
      @DavidAddis 9 місяців тому +3

      I thought it was just because a 33 year-old couldn't comfortably sit on the knee of a man in his (presumably) 60s or 70s. I didn't think he was shunned.
      My question is did that happen years later or was he 33 for the whole song?

  • @JoshuaThompson-z6n
    @JoshuaThompson-z6n Рік тому +19

    I love how this song doesn't immediately deliver on what you're expecting, and before it does you don't care because it's really sweet, and you remember again that these guys are really talented and are really good doing a lot of different things, as evidenced in most of their stuff. Easy to assume they are just really good at life and do quite well in their private lives off camera, which they seem to enjoy as well. It's all very wholesome but never not funny too.

    Honourable Mentions:
    * look up their song “Jenny” if you wanna laugh even harder...
    * the film What They Do In The Shadows ...for a giggle.
    * ...and watch up “Rhys Darby Live: Imagine That” ...if you miss Murray ...you’ll utterly enjoy.
    “...robot”
    From LOTR, to Men In Black III ...these guys never left us.
