that man's level of dedication to dancing for an hour on the street for an arg is literally a level of dedication i wish i could have for any portion of my life jeeze.
Nathan Barnatt is well known for his dancing skill. His body is very flexible and created the boneless dancing style (that shamelessly stolen by fortnite).
Does anybody else notice that Neighbor is able to move his mouth & speak, but Dad, Daughter, and Mother aren't? (13:40) Dad only got this when he escaped and realized he had a voice, but when he came back he didn't. I feel like Neighbor has a lot more to do with this than we think.
I definitely think Neighbor is even more of a “character” than the entire Family. I believe Wife and Daughter are a bit closer to what Dad is (even if Dad is a bigger focus of the “experiment”), but I think that Neighbor instead exists purely to create conflict within the Family. He makes Wife think of cheating, he makes Dad think of pornography, he stirs up discord and conflict.
first impression: dad has a dog brain and is worried hes not a good boy if wife is gone. poor buddy has seperation anxiety. i suggest wife puts a blanket over his kennel with the radio on before leaving home for the day.
There is more to Dad. Live streams were done and deleted. Myself and others have transcribed them on r/dadfeels. Also, the female voice asking Dad to wake up is believed to be Other Daughter. Dad has hinted towards her on stream but also seems to fear her for unknown reasons. There has also been hints that Dad has had an affair with Dianne. Dad has also made references that he believes Mom has been "spending to much time" with Neighbor. One night we witnessed (in text. The screen was black and Dad couldn't talk.) Dad bringing his family on vacation. Then Neighbor showed up. As far as we could tell a fight ensued and the stream ended. The next night everything was fine. Almost as if Dad had been reset. Unfortunately I became very busy with life happening early in this game. While Dad was streaming I had to sleep and free time was just at a premium for me. So thank you Nick for bringing me up to speed with this video. But I promise you there is more to Dad you haven't heard yet.
Fallen Gamer This is great info, but just wanted to let you know that it's spelled "neighbor" not "nieghbor". At first I thought it was just a mistype, but you do it twice. No judgement, just giving ya some info.
@@nobodyimportant9056 Not going to lie. That was a mix of stupidity and exhaustion. At the time I was at my busiest period of my work year. And Dad was doing his streams anytime between 12am-5am my time. Between being a long time supporter of Nathan and being very intrigued by the Dad character. I was running myself extremely thin. Which is why I had to take a break from the Dad ARG and thanks to Nick I am caught up.
@@bridget281100 Things have been very hectic at work. If the new plans we have in works ending up doing what they supposed to do. I will start to have time again to jump back into it. I miss Dad and everyone else very much.

Wait...the sudden shift to musical content. The fact Dad gets punished for assumably a lewd content magazine and doesn't get to use the server till an arbitrary number...like a demonitization strike? Is Dad a metaphor for TH-cam itself prehaps?
I think that some of the details of the story diverge from that (like the being an alien thing), but I totally agree that those things are just the framework for that exact TH-cam metaphor. It seems pretty clear. I wonder if the orbs are the comment section... sometimes keeping content on track for quality, sometimes influencing it negatively.
imagine you get kidnapped, lose your family and are used as some robot tool to try and take over youtube this isn't an arg that is horror themed this is terror
@@andreiradu582 basically a story that isn’t true, but is made in a way where it feels like it actually happened/is happening. it also has clues scattered so that you’re able to figure out everything that’s not directly stated
I was working on one, but my parents said no bc of shit like the slender stabbing incident and that i can do it when im 18 and a legal adult so it's my fault if shit goes wrong. So im just waiting out my 2 years
Dad continuing to chop wood even when the wood falls off reminds me of Wife continuing to vacuum even when she drops it. It's like they're programmed to continue these tasks even when something goes wrong, or glitches, or they are unable to recognize it. Those two scenes were so similar.
16 minutes in I understood. Dad is exactly like my real life Dad. He has lived his whole life accepting control. He was living the American dream, but now he realizes everything has been all wrong. Mom is not a loving wife, she is a controlling wife. The relationship is held together not by love, but by fear, and Dad has accepted it, but he can no longer live a lie.
@@b.collins2656 It's meant to connect the two. Pie can mean multiple things, and there are no doubt many people named Felix - but only one well-known Felix is associated with Pie because it's in their user handle. That way someone can puzzle out what the visual represents.
Not really. There's already been way more character development in Dad than in the years of Poppy. I love Poppy, but being honest this is way ahead of that.
This ARG has gotten even more interesting since this video. He’s almost...established as a real TH-camr. He’s a musician, gamer and exposé creator all in one.
considering how important it was that Dad realised he had a voice and could hear; WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW NEIGHBOR HAD A VOICE INSIDE THE SYSTEM
I honestly love Daughter’s reaction because she is obviously uncomfortable with that. In a human family, the mom or whoever accusing the culprit would confront the culprit in private, not in front of the children unless the children needed to know what was going on for safety reasons. However, telling the kids still should be a very very last resort, making us sympathetic to Daughter’s reaction.
I so glad you covered this! Nathan Barnatt is honestly one of most talented creators out there, really underrated, so I'm thankful he gets some exposure through Dad (this is how I found him too).
There have been a few updates since. It seems the character of Cheryl or Mom is in on it. In the most recent video, she is seen with 3 people, as if she was directing a project, and when one makes a comment, the TH-cam agent escorts him out. After a bit, the words "Quantum violation" flash on the screen. Plus, in Little Towels, she's the one who rushes to Dad to feed him from the can of food after Dad takes a bite out of a pancake and comes to his senses, asking "Where am I?" and asking Cheryl "Who are you?" Whoever took Dad and is maintaining him in the server, and whatever it is they're doing with him, Cheryl is in on it. Maybe that's why she has power over the server? Maybe she's part of the team keeping Dad there?
@@bornajap if you know the guy who created this Dad's channel, you would understand very much where I'm coming from. It's a bit bizarre to see him making this content, especially after he was on AVGN's last Christmas special.
I think, judging from "Nathan's" videos, it's about an artist who creates a character, then when they feel they're done with the character and want to move on they are forced by some corporation or entity to keep that character "alive" even though creatively there is nothing left for them according to the original creator.
This, this is the kinda stuff I subbed to this channel for; introducing me and other viewers to interesting and entertaining internet mysteries and horror. Dad is officially one of my new favorites!
I was playing tomodachi life while watching this, and I made a dad mii for fun, I watched the evening news report, and lo and behold dad was in space, while NM was talking about the part II opening, threw me for a loop, it did.
At 4:11 when his right hand is in that thumbs up position, he might be referencing youtube likes since in that moment he's talking about being a youtuber, but it's probably worth noting that with the way the thumbs up is resting in the palm of his other hand and being raised up, it could also be the ASL sign for "help." Either way it's probably a meta moment asking the viewer to help Dad's channel grow, or maybe it's something deeper??
20:05 I know there's no way of actually getting an infant to intentionally do this, but I think it's funny that the infant reaches out his hand and grasps at the air and then sticks his hand in his mouth. very similarly to how DAD reaches out his hand and grasps at the air to catch his own words.
You where talking about how weird dad acts and I was like "Nah hes not that strange" and then he enters the real and talks to an actual human and WOW that really put things into perspective
Night Mind? Talking about something not always drenched in the inky blackness of the abyss always staring back at us?... ...Did Day Brain highjack your channel?
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat The program is given a number, all it knows is that it has to maximize that number. Say I want the program to learn to walk left in a 2D room. I would write code that if the program walks left, that number goes up (that's a reward) and the game is reset, and if it goes right, the number would go down (that's a punishment) and the game is reset. Over time, the program will make the connection between walking left and the number going up, and it will starting doing that more and more.
Do not question Dad, he is doing perfectly fine! Dad loves his job, and Good Value! Dad is fine with the server! Do not look further into this, trust Dad!.
40:54 what struck me about that shot even more than Dad's reflection and "feed the server," was that the poster is for the 2009 film Moon, directed by Duncan Jones. No spoilers, but trust me that's... perhaps not directly relavent per se, but thematically significant, albeit possibly a hat tip to a source of inspiration rather than a clue as such. Moreover, the opening of Act 2 put me very much in mind of the 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth, which starred Duncan Jones' dad, David Bowie, who also made pop music from time to time. Again, no spoilers and probably not a clue, but pretty likely an inspiration. Just saying, if it turns out Dad is a spider from Mars, the signs were all there.
hey, thanks for putting out an upload, I know how hard you work on each one. I've been having a pretty rough time, but your uploads give me something to look forward to, which I need at this point lol. love u NM
I’m so happy seeing Nathan get so much exposure from his new “Dad” content. I’ve been watching him since 2010 and seeing you cover his newest creation really made my day. Thank you Nick
You forgot about the song "Can't be Stopped" where Dad says "Day dream of the older days, days spent under Kepler rays, represent 22B". This confirms that he came from Kepler-22B for sure, rather than just the Kepler system in general. EDIT: You also missed the song "Dad Is On" where binary code translates to "Andan come in this is base" and a second message translates to a TH-cam link to a german translation of a clip from Lost. In the clip, a man screams "Andan" many times before a large group of people come (I think Andan means others). So it says "Others, come in this is base".
Thankfully, passing people must have noticed the camera. So i suppose at least no one thought he was actually crazy. Middle age man dancing weirdly outside to some odd music... If there wasnt an obvious camera the cops prolly woulda been called lol. Still good tho.
16:55 I've only watched this far, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a commentary on the current state of TH-cam or even censorship in general. Dad has "naughty" content, Dad has content suppressed by "wife" with access to entire server. "Daughter" is an outside observer, concerned, but unable to do anything about it. Edit: Well, I was definitely wrong about the entire show being about that, but I still hold that specific episode is discussing things like this.

Thank you for posting, but why are you up? It's day time, silly Cat Daddy.
Night for me
*_he's up just for you._*
@@DeclanCorey for me as well lol
Bryn M It’s evening for me
Not gonna lie, this is an accurate representation of being a father. Im definitely subbing
drsatanrx 😉
I like how neighbor has his mouth moving and dad uses his brain to talk
31:01
but he’s answering the question someone asked? “what planet are you from?” and he responds with “earth”
my brain for the past 24 hours have been nothin but that diane song on loop
Mine is 'Shop' from Ocarina of Time
Wasn't the "FOOD" one of the things that came out of that vending machine SCP?
Dad is an uncontained SCP confirmed
Vaiman tobe he seems pretty contained to me
To be fair that has appeared in a few things as a sight gag
Night Mind? Talking about something not always drenched in the inky blackness of the abyss always staring back at us?...
...Did Day Brain highjack your channel?
The 2 eyed dog (day brain) has run him out this episode *loud screaming*
Day Brain? I guess this really is a scary video.
Who?
@@genericprotaganist5042 watch the Welcome to Nightvale analysis video for context.
Nathan Barnett / Keith Apicary is one of the most underrated TH-cam creators ever!!
When the acting is actually good that you feel bad about his family not being there. 😭😭😭
The pewdiepie reference is even more obvious because if you have subtitles on, it'll also say ***** lasagna when the sledgehammer hits the pie. ^_^
Nicole Hoffman lol lasaga
i dont get the cat part
@@rogerdalzell Felix the Cat is an old cartoon character, who shares the same first name with Pewds.
34:32 I have to add that punishment and reward are very important aspects of training an AI, reinforcement learning specifically.
How do you reward a program?
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat The program is given a number, all it knows is that it has to maximize that number.
Say I want the program to learn to walk left in a 2D room.
I would write code that if the program walks left, that number goes up (that's a reward) and the game is reset, and if it goes right, the number would go down (that's a punishment) and the game is reset.
Over time, the program will make the connection between walking left and the number going up, and it will starting doing that more and more.
... That's uncanny. This video dropped on my own dad's birthday...
Tell your Dad we all wish him a happy birthday!
@@dylanchouinard6141 I will! Thank you! :D
Dad scheduled his very first upload when my brother had his twin brothers. Dad knows.
Oh hey me too! Happy birthday to yours lol
BrokenHedgehog wtf thats my birthday too,,,am I a dad?
Do not question Dad, he is doing perfectly fine! Dad loves his job, and Good Value! Dad is fine with the server!
Do not look further into this, trust Dad!.
I'm a DAUGHTER and when DAD came home from JOB and FAMILY wasn't there for DAD I got UPSET! :( poor dad.
No one:
Night Mind: Another high quality and entertaining upload
i don't think that's how the meme works, buddy
I'm just trying to be hip and cool with the kids man
So much better than his Petscop 2 upload!
papa nocturne finally let me reunite with my dad. im glad he's found a successful career on youtube. i love u dad
this arg makes me kind of sad
edit: the daughter is a mood
it makes me sad too. maybe bc i dont have a dad umu
@@nhilz absent father gang rise up
Hi sad I'm dad
40:54 what struck me about that shot even more than Dad's reflection and "feed the server," was that the poster is for the 2009 film Moon, directed by Duncan Jones. No spoilers, but trust me that's... perhaps not directly relavent per se, but thematically significant, albeit possibly a hat tip to a source of inspiration rather than a clue as such. Moreover, the opening of Act 2 put me very much in mind of the 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth, which starred Duncan Jones' dad, David Bowie, who also made pop music from time to time. Again, no spoilers and probably not a clue, but pretty likely an inspiration. Just saying, if it turns out Dad is a spider from Mars, the signs were all there.
meta theory: Dad is a elaborate marketing campaign for true value. also true value is owned by aliens
cant wait for dad act 6 intermission 2
LittleBear / madotspooki 👴♾
LittleBear / madotspooki dad stopped being good after act 5, don’t play yourself

I start my GCSE's on Monday, the thing that take precedence over everything else.
Apart from Night Mind.
good luck with gcses!
*apart from dad
Good luck on ya GCSEs!
Good luck on your GCSEs! I'm in a similar position (just with A levels 😂) so I get what you mean
@@ammytersau I don't know what those are, but good luck! Sounds stressful. You got it though!
hey, thanks for putting out an upload, I know how hard you work on each one. I've been having a pretty rough time, but your uploads give me something to look forward to, which I need at this point lol. love u NM
I’m so happy seeing Nathan get so much exposure from his new “Dad” content. I’ve been watching him since 2010 and seeing you cover his newest creation really made my day. Thank you Nick
Avacado 👴
This is amazing, Dad is great, Dad makes best music, gives feels
nick you are really picking up your upload schedule
PS keep up the good work
You forgot about the song "Can't be Stopped" where Dad says "Day dream of the older days, days spent under Kepler rays, represent 22B". This confirms that he came from Kepler-22B for sure, rather than just the Kepler system in general.
EDIT: You also missed the song "Dad Is On" where binary code translates to "Andan come in this is base" and a second message translates to a TH-cam link to a german translation of a clip from Lost. In the clip, a man screams "Andan" many times before a large group of people come (I think Andan means others). So it says "Others, come in this is base".

@@DadFeels haha, classic dad!
ander is other in german
AAYYYY! Just when I'm searching what to listen while I'm drawing BAM!! My favorite black cat shows up! What a gift~
Kid: What is that man doing over there?
Father: It is the call of my people, I must respond.
Used to Love Nathan Barnatt, I'm so impressed with what hes done recently
gabe newell 👴
Thankfully, passing people must have noticed the camera. So i suppose at least no one thought he was actually crazy.
Middle age man dancing weirdly outside to some odd music... If there wasnt an obvious camera the cops prolly woulda been called lol.
Still good tho.
@YourAverageBriton i love that song hahaha. It really is tbh.
What surprised me is no one trying to talk to him because he's Nathan Barnatt.
he really took the joke "hi hungry im dad." to the *NEXT* level.
Never would I ever had thought NightMind would cover Nathan Barnatt.
Dad is Dad
YOU'VE BEEN CAUGHT, DAD
Sorry, Dad. Would you like a make up kiss?
It's time to stop no one catches Dad

16:55 I've only watched this far, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a commentary on the current state of TH-cam or even censorship in general. Dad has "naughty" content, Dad has content suppressed by "wife" with access to entire server. "Daughter" is an outside observer, concerned, but unable to do anything about it.
Edit: Well, I was definitely wrong about the entire show being about that, but I still hold that specific episode is discussing things like this.
