Harmontown 295: Dadfished Dan tells a story about how he was "dadfished" Featuring: Dan Harmon Spencer Crittenden Brandon Johnson Heath Cullins Find full episodes at www.harmontown.com/
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!"
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
@@jackiechannel6351 You arrnt making him sympayhetic. Thoae arent problems. Theyre issues or gievances at best I enjoy this pod when it is challenging or inventive Rn and for the last little while ...meh
Reflective of life. We've had ~7 billion years of creation and suns exploding, evolution and wars all to lead up this comment on this video of boring anecdotes. Lol another 23 minutes "wasted" :^)
@@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
