"I admire what he's trying to do" somehow feels mean when a parent says it.

Tryyyyiiiing

[@mordicaiknode]

BRUTAL. I had to pause it to see when it was originally posted!

[@skeliskellington5233]

This just gives the vibes of parents looking at their toddler perform a lil dance for them which in a sense is exactly what’s happening 😂❤️

[@lottielameko2990]

Hahahahaha his parents are so adorable! Love the enthusiasm!

[@MissKilman]

I wanna see Rose Matafeo do this

[@sephora.baddie123]

honestly it feels so weird seeing him without his taskmaster suit on lol

[@chrisjb241]

Watch his singing

[@robertbrookes2000]

Paul looks so like his mother!

[@JBond-zf4dj]

Omg, I love Paul Williams ❤️

[@SamOGr]

I think Guy Williams would be good on this with his parents

[@missxelocin]

Paul and Maria look like a blend of both the parents but Guy looks soooo much more like their mum. Roseanne's smiling but all I see is Guy. I love genetics.

[@sisokzero6430]

Nice voice

[@ebaymagot]

Is Paul Williams in Mexico Football jersey?

[@dannydanbo58]

I do like him on Taskmaster NZ but if they didn't laugh at what he was wearing, then they weren't going to laugh at his jokes.

[@rachelcookie321]

What’s funny about his outfit?

[@jasonarons8637]

I bet they like Guy better

[@cj4607]

Is his mother American?

[@ChanelPalace-dx6jn]

maybe canadian bc i know paul’s canadian

[@HolyGhostofBobbyLupo]

There is no Tough Crowd without Colin Quinn!

[@ericanton7]

Well said.

[@mcol4644]

I honestly thought the mother was Irish in the first clip she talks in

[@katiehough2499]

I'm Irish and I wondered that too... The way she says 'eight'

[@sleepwalksidewalk]

I have NO IDEA what her accent is, I came to the comments to find out.

[@PoissonVisageStudios]

@@sleepwalksidewalk She's American.

[@sleepwalksidewalk]

@@PoissonVisageStudios that's actually what I thought at first (I am too) but I thought I might by biased

[@missnaomir]

@@PoissonVisageStudios she’s actually Canadian, I think

[@brianallely8740]

These people are to be commended on the support they have shown for their special needs son.

[@shin-ae2670]
