My dad decided to join me while I watched The Bachelor Monday night. I’m embarrassed enough just watching it alone, but now my parents get to see the filth I subject myself to each week. Here are my dad’s thoughts:
“Why do people think they should go date on TV?”
“This is like that Go Daddy Commercial.”
“So they really don’t have ego problems on this show.”
“You’re not going to watch any of that Notre Dame basketball game that’s on right now, are you?”
“Drinking goat milk?!”
Random snort laugh.
“Can I check the score really quickly?”
Heavy sigh.
“Are they all relatively superficial people?”
“A graphic designer! That’s like you! Graphic designer slash marketing expert slash back to school!”
“I’ve got a question. How long has this show been on? Have they stayed married?”
A kissing scene comes on and he changes it to the basketball game without asking.
“Have you ever been horseback riding?”
Actually starts twiddling his thumbs
Asks my mom if he can go listen to her practice piano.
“Are you rooting against somebody?” (Me: I hate Tierra) ”You HATE her? Why do you hate her?”
“Clare you agree with that girl! You hate Tierra too!”
“Who’s that one?”
“What does she mean she can’t breath?”
“His suit is too small.”
Starts snapping in front of my face.
Falls asleep. (I wake him up yelling DANG!)
“What’d I miss? Did they punch each other?”
Snoring.
(Me: It’s over dad.)
Doesn’t even open his eyes before he changes the channel.
Hahaha, this made me laugh out loud at my desk. Your dad should do a guest vlog next week about his thoughts on the Bachelor. So funny!
best idea i’ve heard all week!!
OMG. Yes. I can’t watch the show within 50 feet of my dad or I’ll be subjected to his commentary the entire time.
Bahahahha your dad sounds like my parents when I watch shows like PLL. It’s so ridiculous sometimes. Parents are in a totally different generation sometimes, although they are pretty entertaining to watch some things with!
haha!! This cracked me up. I should do a post like this, because my fiance watched the end with me this week and he had similar comments. Then I went on a rant about Tierra and he looked really concerned about me.
So funny!!!! This was pretty close to my husband’s reaction last night too. He said it was like watching a train wreck though, you just couldn’t stop watching. I suppose I owe it to him to watch one of his boring documentaries now.
this may be my favorite post from your blog. ever.
haha! I loved that you wrote this up! I’ve never watched bachelor with my dad, but I bet it’d be funny! I watch the bachelor with some friends from grad school, and since we’re all counselors it definitely gets interesting:)
P.S.- not liking tierra either:)
thank you for making my morning and making me laugh out loud. don’t even care that people in my office are weirdly staring at me. love this!
HHAHAAHAH THIS IS HILARIOUS! Thanks for giving me a good laugh today! (:
Hahahah this was seriously fantastic!
this was so funny to read.
bachelor 2 nights in a row – great way to start the week in my opinion
Haha LOVE your dad!
Literally laughed out loud reading this!! I don’t watch The Bachelor, but most of my friends do and they all hate Tierra as well! Your dad is hilarious.
Hahaha hilarious! I can only imagine the comments coming out of my dad’s mouth during this!
lol!!! i’d love to sit next time him while he watches jersey shore or 16 and pregnant
Omg this cracked me up! My dad used to not be into the Bachelor but after many seasons of getting roped into it with my mom and me he’s now totally on board! I always love his commentary because he’s so into it too!
hahahah! That’s so funny! I honestly love this show, even though I think it’s really stupid! I bet my dad would have said the same things!
IrishTim..Good ol’ IrishTim…
CRACKING up as I am reading this because I can hear and see your dad saying ALL OF IT!! bahaha
Haha yes! So much better if you actually know him.
Haha, these sound like my husband’s reactions. It’s hard to watch it with him because he’ll talk through the whole thing!
Hilarious! I’d be too embarassed to watch with my dad. : )
hahaha, definitely laughed out loud at this. I’m curious to know not who you are rooting for! You should do Bachelor related posts more often.
LOL. I would love to do this with my dad.
Haha that sounds exactly like what my fiance says! Guys just don’t understand the need for drama
LMAO! You’re dad is hilarious!
Omg your dad is too funny! haha This sounds like my dad when watching American Idol. “They can’t even sing.” “Do they really think they sound good?” “Why would they wear that to an audition?” It’s ridiculous.
