- Yikes, this dad is savage. - Dad, live your life.
You do you. ♪ (upbeat intro) ♪ - (FBE) So today,
we're gonna be reading some pretty awkward
parent text messages. - Ooh, the cringey ones.
This could be some innuendos, could be parents not knowing
how to text. - Sometimes my mom is
very cringe when it comes to texting.
It's just like, what are you doing? - My dad used to travel a lot,
so he would always send me selfies in different locations
and multiple selfies a day and I'm like, "Dad,
that's not how you take a selfie." - I feel like I don't really
text my parents. All these text conversations
I'm like, how did these happen? - Usually, I don't text my parents.
I usually just call them, 'cause texting for them
is very slow, so I wonder how this
is gonna be. - I'm scared for these people.
Hopefully, everything was okay after these awkward
text messages. - Mom.
"Your great aunt just passed away, lol."
"Why is that funny?" "It's not funny, David.
What do you mean?" "Mom, lol means laughing
out loud." - "Oh my goodness.
I sent that to everyone. I thought it meant
lots of love. I have to call everyone back.
Oh God." Aw, that's so horrible.
That's the worst. - That's why parents, they should
stay away from texting and just keep it simple.
Don't do any abbreviations. - That's not too awkward.
I mean, you could take it as lots of love. - My friends were just having
this debate if lol means laughing out loud
or lots of love. Personally, it has to be lol,
especially with caps, lol is laughing out loud. - Moms are so innocent.
We need to protect them from this world,
this cruel world. - "Dad, I got my girlfriend
pregnant." "What!?" - "Nah, I'm just kidding.
I just failed my bio exam." "Oh thank God." - That's smart.
Doing one thing and then saying something else
that's also somewhat bad, but not as bad as
the first thing, it's like, "Ah, it's okay." - That's a good way to kinda
cheat the system. - Why is he just okay with that?
I would still be questioning. Are you sure about the
pregnancy thing? - Poor dad.
Probably got so stressed out over one little text message. - "I got an A in chem."
"WTF, well done." "Mom, what do you think
WTF means?" - "Well that's fantastic."
Yeah. All these would work. - I can just picture some
tiny little lady on her phone being so proud of herself
and her child and it's just like, oh no, no, no, no. - That was pretty mom behavior. - See how pure and innocent
they are. - How do parents find
the abbreviations? Where do they look? - "Hey honey,
how was your day?" "Good, I'm having the best
weed of my life." - "Oh, me too.
Where did you get yours from?" "No, no, no.
I meant week." - "Wait, what, dad?"
"Let's not tell mom about this conversation."
So he just found out that his dad is a pothead.
Wow. - Dad, live your life.
You do you. - Hey, I mean if you're feeling
it, at least you got a dad that could do it with you,
so it's some father son time, I guess. - I don't think I'd ever have
these kind of conversations with my parents,
in person or through texts. - "Hey sorry, I missed
your call, what's up?" "Hold on one second.
I am [bleep] your brother in bed." "Ew mom, what the [bleep]?" - "Oh sorry, I meant tucking.
This darn phone." - Dot, dot, dot.
Yeah that would be my response, the dot, dot.
That's weird. - Is the F and the T
that close? - Doesn't auto correct
correct to what you usually text, so it's like
are they texting that on a daily basis? - That's one that you might
want to double check before you send it.
That could be a real scary two minutes of someone
else's life. - "Hey, what's up?"
"Gas prices." True. - "Lol dad, I meant like
what are you doing?" "Your mom."
"I want to move out." - Oh my God,
that's so awkward. This can't be his dad. - That's the dad trying
that's trying to be cool and trendy and it's just like,
"Dad, can you stop?" - I love how this dad
is so immature. This is something you would
expect from a twelve year old. You would not expect this
from your dad. - This is very twelve year old
who happens to not have aged since being a father.
I'd rather have this over text than in person. - Smiley face.
"Have a Hershey kiss." "Mom, that is poop."
"What, that looks like Hershey's. I don't have my glasses." - It could be a chocolate chip.
It doesn't have to be [bleep]. It can be whatever you want
it to be. - I mean, if you're far away
and you're not used to it, sure, that could look like
a Hershey's Kiss. - She's definitely old.
I bet you she just got her iPhone, too.
That's why she's like, "Aw, these are all these
cute emojis." - That's so funny.
That's something my parents would do.
They use emojis all the time. - Honestly, I feel like
that was a text sent to me. That's honestly something
that my mom would send me. That's really good. - "You're bringing the
hermaphrodite, right?" "Uh."
"Damn, Heineken." - What?
This is really confusing. - Okay yeah, I'd be like,
huh? - Autocorrect is wild. - It's all these autocorrect ones
and then it's always such obscure words. - How does hermaphrodite
be Heineken? Are you kidding me?
Sure, it starts with H, but I don't really see how
it goes from that to that. - "Hey honey,
how's the science fair?" "Pretty good actually.
Abbey got first for her erupting vagina."
Oh, oh my God. - "Vagina equals volcano.
Stupid auto correct." - "I got nervous for
a second there, honey. Abbey is almost eight."
Poor Abbey. - At least this person caught
themselves - The mom should not
have said anything. She should just have been
okay. - I appreciate this family
dynamic. I really do.
This is comedy gold. They need their own
TV show at this point. - "Hey son.
Do you need anything from the store while I'm here?"
"Yeah, can you pick me up some condoms?
I have a date tonight." "Son."
"Yeah, dad?" "You realize that you can't
get your hand pregnant." Roasted.
Yikes, this dad is savage. - Sometimes these dad jokes
work better over text than in person or at least
it's less uncomfortable over text. - I didn't want to know that. - Oh God, wow.
That's real weird. - Why are you texting
your kid that? - Would some dads really
do that? That's so awkward. - I can imagine all the stress
and anxiety going to either the child or the parents too,
'cause they're probably like, "What do you mean?" - If I were to receive something
like this, I would just assume they typed something wrong.
I wouldn't think, oh my gosh, this is what
they're actually saying. - I've had some bad
autocorrects, but some of these, they were a little extreme.
I do not want to be in the shoes of any of these
people. - Thanks for watching us read
