I thought it was crazy but I kind see near the end how it can be a bit boring/repetitive since you’re just waiting for him to figure out it’s not his dad. But it’s still a funny and sad story
@@bbarrettgriffith Clearly he doesn’t have that sort of relationship with his dad. But the OP seems to insinuate that over the course of this one day, it’s strange he didn’t talk to his dad, which would have cleared it up.
@@mitchrudolph65 And? Grown men don’t speak to their father every three days. That isn’t unusual at all. Yes, Dan obviously doesn’t have a good relationship with his dad and they clearly don’t speak much at all. But my point still stands that it is not strange at all for someone not to speak to their dad for several days, or even a couple weeks when they live across the country from each other.
@@mitchrudolph65 Holy shit, my point doesn’t change in the slightest. It’s not unusual for someone to not speak to their father every few days. Stop being pedantic.
I can too completely. I love my and we have a great relationship, but we only connect on handful of things. If he casually dropped a Dark Souls reference or something about animation I would lose my shit.
I was really hoping this went on for an absurdly long time, with Dan thinking he has this renewed relationship with his father as seasons change. Then eventually after he finds out, he realizes "I haven't spoken to my dad in years!"
This is hilarious. I also like this format, it’s like a looser form stand up. Dan is a bit awkward, but he actually has really good comedic timing and is kind of reading the room in a way.
He sounds like a flawed man that tried his best. Not trying to make defenses for him, but he sounds like someone that felt the need to be cruel because they were taught that fathers are supposed to be cruel.
It’s hard to truly find this level of sadness. I’m glad there is an outlet to listen and laugh about it but like, damn that one was a serious blow to your core being.
He ended up texting his dad and if I remember correctly they texted back and forth a little bit but nothing really came of it. It kind of highlighted that the reason they don't have much of a relationship isn't just because of Dan because it fizzled out quickly since neither one of them was enthusiastic enough to keep the communication going.
@@dfassna i believe that Colombian is correct, on another podcast there is an update to this story where dan texts his dad live, and there's no response before the podcast ends lol
@@TroutBoneless I don't know why that would be surprising. I do not think people in his dad's generation spend as much time on their phones as he might.
this would be a good movie, like a guy going through finally connecting to his father but it is a younger guy and then the younger dude in the movie's case would think he is connecting to some illegitimate child he never knew about only to realise it's the older guy. they meet up but they don't realise they have been talking to each other, instead they just think they're two different cases while waiting for someone else to show up. they keep doing this a few times until it clicks and they figure out they have been talking to each other the whole time. they get depressed, stop talking because it is weird and time goes by until they finally come to the conclusion that there odd friendship is more meaningful than ever connecting to that lost family they never had.
Wonder what the next conversation with his real dad was like. Probably doesn't feel the same about him knowing in some alternate dimension there is s "cool" version of his dad.
Haha wow thats so rough, funny that life is sometimes more comedic organically than anything you could even think up for a skit. Im sure this will inspire some future plots.
A female friend of mine once gave her cell phone to her mom temporarily to use for some reason, I don't think initially knew it was her mom using it and had sent some inappropriate flirty kinda dirty messages, the sad part is, I was so embarrassed, and the sad part is, I forgot and did it again later.
My dad apologized once in person and i was so damn confused. He said he loved my mom once and i didn't think i heard right. He's ded now so i can't get dadfished
Self congratulatory means to give yourself praise for things you have said or done. A callback is a reference to something that was said or done in a previous scenario. In this instance, the self congratulatory callback is a reference to a funny bit in a TV show that Dan wrote.
Jesus the word ''like'' again............ It infects everybody's speech pattern these days. Um um um like like like like......... like is the new um.............which was irritating as shit years ago when people couldn't fucking finish a goddamn sentence without pausing.
I’m gunna hit you with some hard hard drunk and aggravated knowledge nothing I respeat nothing about dan Harmon’s life is sad. He is living the dream with that being said I still eat his audible shit at least once a week in a act of respect and solidarity spell check is great for spelling big words n stuff
He's got a much more popular show than community now and has definitely had a rough patch this year due to the alt-right targeting him and the #metoo movement.

@@BalancedEarth thanks for the heads up. Now I know why Harmonquest 3 isn't out. How Dan his ex kind of should not be in it. Their not very funny. They'd be better off with having Spencer, what's his face, 1 celeb host for the season, 1season celeb and 1guest celeb. Would probably work out better
i don't know why everyone is saying this is a boring story, I was laughing harder than i have in a long time!!
Just a bunch of kids that can't relate because they haven't figured out how horrible their relationship with their parents is yet.
Get out more often.
This was quality entertainment in my book. Different strokes I guess...

I had to sit down at work I was laughing so hard the first time listening to it. Just so ridiculous
Seems like something that would happen to Jerry
Actually something like this happened with the Dean
Hi the Dean please bring me olives
Jerry is his self-projection so that makes sense
As Niles said, Jerry is in a lot of ways Dan. Season 3 Jerry is basically what Dan was going through and how he saw himself.

That's because Jeff never doesn't wear a suit
Every now and then I come back to this video and come to a new appreciation of my relationship with my dad.
The funniest part to me is that this whole time Dan had absolutely no contact with his actual father.
Yeah it’s strange for a grown man not to speak to his father every 24 hours right.... 🤔

This was so funny but it was also genuinely crushing! I wish dan could have that relationship with his dad that he clearly wishes he had.

This story is so well told !!
this story has everything, so many layers
Epic story. Great bit to develop on the screen.
jesus christ this is what they mean when they say daddy issues
Wonder what the next conversation with his real dad was like. Probably doesn't feel the same about him knowing in some alternate dimension there is s "cool" version of his dad.
"...a batman. A table of stars." Underrated joke!
This is simultaneously one of the funniest and saddest things
I saw this coming a mile away, and it still ran me the fuck over
cut to dans dad sat in the front row gently weeping
I wonder if Dan Harmon's dad would ever watch this, and if so what his reaction would be?
It sounds like he wouldn't
This needs more views
Every time I hear about a story from Dan Harmon's personal life, I can't help but think he drinks too much.
possibly not enough. He wouldn't remember all these altercations if he was blacked out

Wow that's sad .....but it was funny and dark. Kinda like his writing which kinda makes it even more funny.
Wait didn't this exact scenario happen to Dean Pelton in the gas leak season of Community?
The Chinese guy who killed himself.
@@humanaku9135 No the Japanese Guy that became Ayuban, highest leader of the Yakuza

Haha wow thats so rough, funny that life is sometimes more comedic organically than anything you could even think up for a skit. Im sure this will inspire some future plots.
Very relatable subject, Harmon the everyman.
jesus wow. that was horrifying. i hope nothing like that happens to anyone. that must be so embarrassing.
The first time I heard this I had to sit down from laughing so much
The front of the stage looks like a youtube video’s player with a shit ton of ads.
I’d be crushed if this happened to me. My father isn’t the most open person.
This cheered me up. I have yet to watch rick n Morty, seems like a future treasure to be had considering how much I enjoy Community
That show is gonna blow your mind. So freaking hilarious.
jon hamm and edgar wright - sounds like a Baby Driver meeting was going on

"It's so dry!", fucking hell.
Gotta love the Dells reference.

So what was the sad part, exactly? And then the sad part?
Funnier than Dan Harmon’s dad. Not a bad title.
Dan Harmon would be a great mall santa if he wasn’t Dan Harmon
I have a good relationship with my dad, but almost 0 similar interests. I can relate to Dan.
Man, this is funny and shit, but I can’t be the only one who feels bad while listening to this, right?
I couldn't laugh at this, it just feels really sad😥 Dan was so happy
That broke my fuckin heart. I think I'm gonna spend some time with my dad
never met mine....so this is bittersweet
love this guy though...not in a fallout weird way either
lmao
You can freeze frame the exact moment where his heart is broken! 12:29
My dad apologized once in person and i was so damn confused. He said he loved my mom once and i didn't think i heard right.
He's ded now so i can't get dadfished
Haaaaaaaaaa those twists !!
This was hilariously sad 😂
This is wholesome.
He would make a great dad xD
This is such a crazy story 😂
Oh man that was brutal

Is that conversation log his Heath ledger?

Is Brandon Johnson a regular now? I like it.

oh god, this is exactly the sort of thing that would happen to me
This is amazing
This is funny and sad and funny in that order
Spencer has lost like a person and a half in mass
I can't help but feel the punchline was accidentally stolen from him.
This would never happen to me because I don't even have my dad's phone number
Didn't this guy film his coworkers taking a dump?

After all of Dan's father molestation stories, thisis especially bittersweet.
Could you elaborate?
Huh
I don't think he ever said anything about "molestation". Where are you getting that?
If you think this is boring, you are not a real person.
First half was great, but then it carried out in classic harmony narcasistic action
It took 18 years for my dad to tell me he loved me, and 18 more for him to mean it.
So marry him
