@@DadFeels I will start from the beginning of Dad's videos. For those with eyes to see and ears to hear will understand. The words between the silence, reflection of thought to answer. The knowledge of the hidden voice in the silence. I will find my way back to myself, through you who is I and I am.
dude the scene with Anton remembering his wife before his mission legit made me cry. It doesn't even need the voice overs. They're both very talented actors and convey so much emotion through their facial expressions. It was shot beautifully as well. He should actually make a movie, no joke
I'm sure I've just lost my mind over analyzing Dad, but most of the music playing during the second IHOP scene is super coincidental. David Bowie (The Man Who Fell to Earth), Out of Touch (I'm out of time), Venus, Drive (Who's gonna drive you home tonight?), Where the Streets Have No Name (I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside).
"Town, USA is not a real place" "Town, USA it *is* a place, that's where I escaped from" "But its a mock...it's a mock town." "Town is in the facility-" "It's not real." "It's a whole town I've seen it" "But it's not real." "But it exists" my last two braincells trying to process information
One of the funniest things that you haven't covered is how the real True Value Hardware responds to Dad and actually rolls with this whole concept. Hell, "Dad" might be some weird advertisement for them, I don't know. I don't even care. I shop at my locally-owned True Value now because of how they're playing along. And yes, I checked, double checked, and then triple checked (just call me Emily ;-) ), the True Value accounts that respond to Dad ARE the real accounts. If they aren't they've taken some quasi-legal steps to become verified and are meticulously mimicking the deals and sales offered on the True Value website every day, without fail.
yea this whole think struck me as some sort of experiment in brand awareness/advertising. the true value and ihop brand inclusion seems too out of place for it not to be.
Can we take a second to appreciate the sound design? It’s so beautiful. I never thought I’d get so invested in this series and I think a huge part of why I did was how immersive the sound is.
After rewatching these breakdowns and watching the full series myself, I’m curious no one brings up the speech vs telepathy, especially when we first see neighbor talking to Dad. Also, how Mom seems so robotic at first, then we see her in the past being absolutely normal, then in the present, breaking for the smell of the lilies, then never seeming that robotic afterward. Especially when Dad (Andon) disappears. Like, she’s suddenly broken some spell she was under. Even when she was alone in certain scenes she was very robotic. Suddenly now she has a full range of emotion. Any theories?
that's something I've been thinking about a lot too! I've seen theories that Mum purposefully allowed herself to be intoxicated by food in order to make the act more believable. For me personally, I think either the corperation who are behind Dad perhaps are doing so to stop her from acting out or she does it because part of her really misses having a family, with a daughter which I think would be super impactful if true.
@@amadotcom5788 Maybe. I feel that Dad is who his flashbacks say he is; An astronaut from the future who has through forces unknown been catapulted backwards to very near our time; He's being held in some kind of internal VR system by the corporation to try and get him to explain what he knows about the FTL drive ( Quantum based, clearly ), and Mom is the lead researcher on the project; A simulacrum of her is in the VR system and operates robotically when the actual Mom on the outside is not connected. Dad is trying to sort out what is real and what is not, hampered by the fact that he is from a period in the future where the understanding of the time period he is in is distorted at least in the mind of average people like himself - we all eat generic food, we b are obsessed with work, TH-cam, DIY and Minecraft, etc., - so he couldn't function completely wehn he first escaped, until he found assistance. Too bad the corporation cant get what they want anyway. Dad seems like a pilot rather than someone with any detailed knowledge of the FTL drive on a theoretical basis.
NM: *makes entire video about Dad, including possible theories of where the story might go and how the audience might interact* Carl, coming in from the side of the shot: "Mhmm. Just as I thought. Ol' Carl's on tea."
i'm pretty sure Carl is a composite for all of the people investigating the content and seemingly sure they have the right answers, including NM. He's a friendly jab similar to the 'TH-cam cult' angle.
Also, since “Neighbors’s” tools (which he buys from Durk’s) apparently break after a single use they definitely would be these literal sticks and stones that wouldn’t last a second.
I feel like there's more with Cheryl, I don't think she's completely evil, I think she's just misguided more than anything, and dealing with a lot of pain from losing her daughter. I just think there's a lot more to her story
Maybe, in addition to scientific ambition, she wants to reverse time to be with her daughter again and her husband before their relationship got messed up, as that's what she's effectively doing with the robot.

This is why people from his time know about Earth, and also explains how Dad was basically an interstellar truck driver.
I think you are spot on, the weirdness of the first few strings of vids really covers up the humor, and not only is the space trucker premise more blatantly funny, it is a less absurd allegory for fame and how streamers treat interactions with fans. Not to get super nerdy but the genre sort of evolved around the same time.
@@panda_commanda On one of dad’s older streams, people were commenting that dad was dead. So I decided to comment “Is dad dead?”, or something like that. Dad actually read it and was like calling me stupid or something, and he went on this full rant. The rant was about like how stupid of a question that was and if I watched his videos, I wouldn’t be so foolish to ask that question. It was fucking hilarious and I will never forget it.
59:00 I love how easy-going he makes it sound, like someone with actual casual expertise with superior tech just enough to give us basic descriptions, but also someone just trying to do his job. 1:08:05 OH GOD THE LITTLE TOWELS WERE A TRAP, HE'S RELAPSING 1:19:20 is… is this a reference to the 'The End' Dad video that just went up? This is great- the conspirators as a PART of the ARG is such a fun twist on the concept!
This summary is just... *chef’s kiss*. The Dad series is one of my favorites so far. It’s incredibly well set up with great payoffs. When I first watched Dad, I never thought I’d get so invested that I’d watch a movie length summary of his videos but damn. Just every little detail and character and story arc is interesting as hell
"Every time someone unironically uses the term tea I vow to add another person to the final figure of people i'm going to eat if I ever snap and revert back to basic instincts" im crYLAUGHING WHY ARE YALL SLEEPIN ON THIS
"I need a favor." "Babe...anything." "A big one." "Anything!" "...I've kidnapped someone and I need you to help me keep him sedated to I can continue my quantum physics research." "..." "..." "WHAT THE FU-"
I'll be honest, the whole Dad going off the rails a bit made sense. Especially, after the DadBot reveal. It turns out that I was off track, but... It seemed a pretty open-and-shut case of unclear parameters. DadBot wants to be the best TH-camr. Let's see, what's popular on TH-cam? Let's plays are popular and some of the most popular is Minecraft. So, he's going for that. What else? Valve games. Especially, the big darling of them all, Portal. Nice, that's one more tick. Hmm, what else is really big? Music videos. Especially, ones featuring other artists. Therefore, we get music videos. What else, though? Oh, conspiracy theories really light up the charts. So, we get the whole cult business. And so on.
"In some schools of Buddhism, bardo (Classical Tibetan: བར་དོ་ Wylie: bar do), antarabhāv (Sanskrit), or chūu (Japanese: 中有)[1] is an intermediate, transitional, or liminal state between death and rebirth." The fact that the helper is named Bardo Industries is a little interesting in this context (I say, like this is an original observation)
I've been watching your content throughout most of today. I thought I was done for the day, and went back to the homepage, only to find that you just uploaded this. Just when I think I'm out, you pull me back in!
@@juliemassam933 I dont think that the wood would remind her of marvin i think that it would remind her of the neighbor character as to who sent it is beyond me mabye they sent it to keep her in line on her orders but im not sure just guessing
Malvin stating "we don't know that she's gone" has been stuck in my mind for a while, nagging some obscure corner of my mind. I keep seeing other comments on a deceased daughter but that one sentence has been bugging me. Perhaps rather than passing on, the daughter of their marriage was shot into space for one of Mom's experiments and never came back, perhaps hitting an irregularity in space/time leading Mom's experiments into capturing Andan and Emily when she was actually trying to get her child back. Or I'm overthinking things again.
In the dad cfb music video there are hidden letters through out it, 15:48 I, 15:59 M, 16:09 G, 16:28, R and at 16:35, there is a period. This spells Imgr. There could be numbers or letters in other videos that make a imgr link for a image. I hope this is seen and helps.
I am happy for this summary because honestly Dad lost me when he started live streaming. It just kinda took me out of the story and felt like way too much content to get through inorder to keep up
Hey Night Mind, not sure if you'll read this but recently Dad has been interacting with streamers, but not the normal kind. He's been sending superchats to Vtubers, and the Vtubers he does it to have some correlation to the occult, death, and immortality. I don't know if this means anything but I think you should give it a look.
Wasn’t expecting a reference to HOME, Porter Robinson, and Madeon. I honestly thought Marshmallow would be the only thing weirdly music related I would find here. It feels like this whole ARG is just one giant and frankly unnerving reference to something. I’m going to pull out now.
I commented on his insta saying "I cant wait for the series to end so night mind can explain it to me with his amazing voice" and he said "it will never end" Edit: dont get me wrong I love the series and would hate for it to end but I'm just excited for his recap.
Today Dad posted a video that named "The End".. I wish Nick would've waited a few more days to do this video. Of course Nick couldn't have known that video would've come out today but it would've been perfect timing i think. But of course its not really the end of dad, theres too many plot lines to follow.
So I came here right after binging all of Dad having no idea who Night Mind is, and I was not expecting the voice of every early 2000s movie trailer voiceover.
It gets to level that feels hard to hold onto, but it manages to hook me back in at every turn. The genius of getting to the level of sitting down at an IHOP, being dumbfounded by a stranger acting odd, and interrupting your own conversation about interstellar travel. Genius. If I were ever to compare a project like this to a trip on say, LSD, (a lot of them fit the bill) this is actually the most accurate.
The humor in this series is so awesome. The coagitor dialogue and hearing about ship crashing at IHOP with Hall and Oates in the background is just really funny
I'm just listening to the part where the guys are talking in the Ihop and I can hear out of touch by hall and oates playing in the back and I know I'm probably going too deep into it but hey He's out of touch with his entire world and any contact he has for getting back to it so that's a fun thought
She is trying to reach the "9th Planet" and I know Pluto isn't a planet but it was considered one at one point. Dad looked up Pluto during his Cult Expose' video. This might just be a coincidental observation but hey, that's just something I noticed at the end.
the frecuency of cellphones help "finetune" the telepahy, your ears cant hear phone waves, but your mind can(?) use it for communication. in case you didnt know, lots of creatures use telepathy in the world, and then there are all sorts of radiowaves, basycally everyone is shouting hard all the time so... that.
My hope was that Dads packages to the investigative TH-camr's was more of a "stop poking holes in my plot - youre giving too much away" than actual hostilities. There's already been evidence that the legal action never happened for real - it was just story level.
I have a theory. When andon first meets the guy whose name I can’t remember, the guy mentions something about The OA. The OA is a show on Netflix about a girl traveling through dimensions, so I wonder if that has anything to do with Dad.
This Nathan Barnatt guy is truly dedicated to his project as if it's alive and evolving gradually. It's really impressive. He truly introduced a new form of "interactive artistic project."

I think you are spot on, the weirdness of the first few strings of vids really covers up the humor, and not only is the space trucker premise more blatantly funny, it is a less absurd allegory for fame and how streamers treat interactions with fans. Not to get super nerdy but the genre sort of evolved around the same time.
I remember getting yelled at by dad/dad bot on one of his livestreams. BEST. THING. EVER.
describe please.
elaborate???
Edge lord explain
@@panda_commanda On one of dad’s older streams, people were commenting that dad was dead. So I decided to comment “Is dad dead?”, or something like that. Dad actually read it and was like calling me stupid or something, and he went on this full rant. The rant was about like how stupid of a question that was and if I watched his videos, I wouldn’t be so foolish to ask that question. It was fucking hilarious and I will never forget it.
Edge lord ok thanks
Probably my favorite line from the whole series is "My dad doesn't play video games. He does taxes with his calculator. He always loses."
Honestly if the only thing keeping me from getting mind controlled was NOT eating pancakes with syrup I'd probably be in the same boat as dad.
Good thing I don’t like pancakes
It's called Fœøđ §åűşə
59:00 I love how easy-going he makes it sound, like someone with actual casual expertise with superior tech just enough to give us basic descriptions, but also someone just trying to do his job.
1:08:05 OH GOD THE LITTLE TOWELS WERE A TRAP, HE'S RELAPSING
1:19:20 is… is this a reference to the 'The End' Dad video that just went up? This is great- the conspirators as a PART of the ARG is such a fun twist on the concept!
Just got done watching The End by Dad. Man am I ready for this.
I just hope andon is ok
its almost like they talk to each other
Dad is dead :(
@@ChrisTheMemeMan dont think so, cant end that fast
@@ChrisTheMemeMan DadBOT is pro a ly dead Andan is likely still out and about. And if that was the end of the series Im gonna be disappointed
I watched him take a bite of the switched out pancakes and was like NONONONONONO FOOD SAUCE FOOD SAUCE
You and me both buddy, I got yelled at for yelling so late at night XD
But FOOD sauce is sooooo good!
@@arealgamer342 hmm yum yum i do love the food sause
"Oh, look at that, your lips have bangs." hahahaha I love dad.
"we can put it in our pocket, for safe keeping :)" a man with priorities, gotta keep the little towels safe
Dad/Andan eating the syrup covered pancakes while Tom is telling him not to is a cinematic parallel to my cats trying to eat plastic
This summary is just... *chef’s kiss*. The Dad series is one of my favorites so far. It’s incredibly well set up with great payoffs. When I first watched Dad, I never thought I’d get so invested that I’d watch a movie length summary of his videos but damn. Just every little detail and character and story arc is interesting as hell
carl is the best character hands down,him and his cinnamon roll stew
i agree and for that, you deserve some cinnamon roll stew
Uh huh. Just as I thought. Ol' Carl is on to you.
Nobody:
Griffin: HEY GIRLFRIEND THINK YOUR DAD WILL PLAY MINECRAFT WITH ME?
I have a migraine, and so I come back here, to listen to the audio equivalent of a perfectly dark, comfortably cool room.
Last time I was this early, Night Mind still sped up his speech artificially.
Watching.
Such dark, young days of old... I was but a kitten then.
Wait, weh? ._.
@@XwX1001 in his older videos he sped up his voice to make his videos shorter
Heeey leave young nocturne alone!
@@NightMind Why did you do it? seems like such an odd choice
imagine if a random person who's not part of this eavesdropped their whole conversation about planets and aliens and be like
I’d really like to think that some hardcore “truther” was sitting behind them in that IHOP, and he just walked away telling all his nut job friends.
"Every time someone unironically uses the term tea I vow to add another person to the final figure of people i'm going to eat if I ever snap and revert back to basic instincts" im crYLAUGHING WHY ARE YALL SLEEPIN ON THIS

Your spilling 'The Tea'
You mean when I'm drinking the beverage?
Zetta_Stone honestly

"Babe...anything."
"A big one."
"Anything!"
"...I've kidnapped someone and I need you to help me keep him sedated to I can continue my quantum physics research."

i read this comment before finishing the whole vid and thought this was a joke
where is that?
**so**
@@phaenom7872here 1:28:46
I read this RIGHT when it happened, and considering this video is pretty long that’s crazy lol
Everyone: "Oh, this is interesting, so many secrets. This could mean this-and-this."
Me: "Mom is hot"
she's so cute!
Bruh
Dad kinda cute doe ngl
That's all I keep thinking every time I see her.
@@timsar4809 yooo they gets it
I'll be honest, the whole Dad going off the rails a bit made sense. Especially, after the DadBot reveal. It turns out that I was off track, but... It seemed a pretty open-and-shut case of unclear parameters.
DadBot wants to be the best TH-camr. Let's see, what's popular on TH-cam? Let's plays are popular and some of the most popular is Minecraft. So, he's going for that. What else? Valve games. Especially, the big darling of them all, Portal. Nice, that's one more tick. Hmm, what else is really big? Music videos. Especially, ones featuring other artists. Therefore, we get music videos. What else, though? Oh, conspiracy theories really light up the charts. So, we get the whole cult business. And so on.
"Now you gotta hold on, because THIS is where it gets weird."
You mean it hasn't been weird up until now?
I might be sleep deprived, because Griffin asking if Dad would play Minecraft with him has absolutely sent me into an uncontrollable fit
I've said it many times before, but dad looks like my english teacher who made us watch disenchantment instead of learning.
Why? That's not even a good show lol
Edit: probably better than school tho haha. What was the reason?
@@smileyp4535 i think he wanted to show us the accents or something? (We're a laungage group) Or just wanted a break from teaching us once a week lol.
@@Jenns228 that's cool
He looks like my mom. Ngl
"This is the greatest night I have ever had today". Well your not wrong...
"In some schools of Buddhism, bardo (Classical Tibetan: བར་དོ་ Wylie: bar do), antarabhāv (Sanskrit), or chūu (Japanese: 中有)[1] is an intermediate, transitional, or liminal state between death and rebirth." The fact that the helper is named Bardo Industries is a little interesting in this context (I say, like this is an original observation)
Ben Goldstein omg you're right
damn you’re observant!
This is where I exist,
lingering between what is the lie and the new.
Captured between joy and fear.
Not many know what it is to live, to feel life
I've been watching your content throughout most of today. I thought I was done for the day, and went back to the homepage, only to find that you just uploaded this.
Just when I think I'm out, you pull me back in!
But what about when Cheryl was also being controlled? When she was talking about the flowers?
Yeah strange how NM didn't mention it
1:41:55
Maybe she programmed herself, to help keep up the illusion? But then why would they send in the wood, which would remind her of Malvin?
@@juliemassam933 I dont think that the wood would remind her of marvin i think that it would remind her of the neighbor character as to who sent it is beyond me mabye they sent it to keep her in line on her orders but im not sure just guessing
"It sounds like you're not a very good Captain"
"I do fine!"
I love Nathan. :)
Thanks for the great video Night Mind!
Malvin stating "we don't know that she's gone" has been stuck in my mind for a while, nagging some obscure corner of my mind. I keep seeing other comments on a deceased daughter but that one sentence has been bugging me. Perhaps rather than passing on, the daughter of their marriage was shot into space for one of Mom's experiments and never came back, perhaps hitting an irregularity in space/time leading Mom's experiments into capturing Andan and Emily when she was actually trying to get her child back.
Or I'm overthinking things again.
i like that theory
Andon's channeling the Habit voice. That's all I could think during those segments.
In the dad cfb music video there are hidden letters through out it, 15:48 I, 15:59 M, 16:09 G, 16:28, R and at 16:35, there is a period. This spells Imgr. There could be numbers or letters in other videos that make a imgr link for a image. I hope this is seen and helps.
Nightmind: makes a video encouraging Dadbot to break free
Dadbot: *gets shot*
w h a t
I am happy for this summary because honestly Dad lost me when he started live streaming. It just kinda took me out of the story and felt like way too much content to get through inorder to keep up
The most unrealistic thing about this is the fact that Cheryl funding her project with 100k subscribers
I can respect an ad read that’s actually relevant to the video
not gonna lie, the dad music videos are pretty good. some of these are BOPS
Hey Night Mind, not sure if you'll read this but recently Dad has been interacting with streamers, but not the normal kind. He's been sending superchats to Vtubers, and the Vtubers he does it to have some correlation to the occult, death, and immortality. I don't know if this means anything but I think you should give it a look.
Do you got a link to where you found that info by chance 😃
Wasn’t expecting a reference to HOME, Porter Robinson, and Madeon. I honestly thought Marshmallow would be the only thing weirdly music related I would find here. It feels like this whole ARG is just one giant and frankly unnerving reference to something. I’m going to pull out now.
could you imagine being one of those families in that ihop overhearing them? Or even the waitress lmao
Actually it would be more like watching them look at each other in silence. Cause they speak with voice overs.
@@honque2490 that'd be just as weird tbh like just watching these 4 people look at each other with weird expressions
"Would you still love me if I was old and bald?" The Ella and Andan section makes me feel feelings.
I commented on his insta saying "I cant wait for the series to end so night mind can explain it to me with his amazing voice" and he said "it will never end"
Edit: dont get me wrong I love the series and would hate for it to end but I'm just excited for his recap.
zoinks
It's better to be ongoing. More videos from both Dad AND Night Mind.
@@Squidbush8563 yeah, nightmind and dad are the best youtubers lol.
Today Dad posted a video that named "The End".. I wish Nick would've waited a few more days to do this video. Of course Nick couldn't have known that video would've come out today but it would've been perfect timing i think. But of course its not really the end of dad, theres too many plot lines to follow.
So, dad uploaded The End....but maybe not the end. Still, this video might need a short coda extra video
idk why but anton's voice as a rugged space traveler do be kinda sexy ngl
Really
moai
Don't worry you aren't alone
@@aidan3595 thank god
So I came here right after binging all of Dad having no idea who Night Mind is, and I was not expecting the voice of every early 2000s movie trailer voiceover.
"hi I'm Lazlo"
... the finest mind of her generation?
god, poor lazlo!
Oh dear god no, they got Lazlo. He was the greatest mind of his generation.
I barely managed to suppress the urge to yell that out and wake up my whole family.
Fucking Antlions
Dad is a average regular guy! (ARG) thanks for noticing!
“I got four of them against your set of two” me with quad nods: are you sure about that?
Rosie Gal yeah meet up with strelok, had some vodka, got some artifacts, got some cool aks and got scammed by scammerovich. Great time
It gets to level that feels hard to hold onto, but it manages to hook me back in at every turn. The genius of getting to the level of sitting down at an IHOP, being dumbfounded by a stranger acting odd, and interrupting your own conversation about interstellar travel. Genius.
If I were ever to compare a project like this to a trip on say, LSD, (a lot of them fit the bill) this is actually the most accurate.
Jesus Christ, I would never notice all of that. I'm totally dependent of these explanations.
Same. I missed so much lmao
I DIED SO HARD WHEN HE PUT A PANCAKE IN HIS POCKET FOR SAFE KEEPING
“Ol’ Carl’s on to ya” - quote of next century
The last time I was this Dad, Dad was Dad.
Thank you Dad
The humor in this series is so awesome. The coagitor dialogue and hearing about ship crashing at IHOP with Hall and Oates in the background is just really funny
"Agents from TH-cam". No. They are clients. Mom created them & programmed them to do their jobs. Although, they've been going rogue lately..
I miss Daisy Brown that was a fun arg to watch play out
ProdigyGirl I know, she might make something else one day
ProdigyGirl She’s the same person behind Echo Rose if you want to go check that out.
Isabell Lunsford Whats the Echo Rose? Is it on TH-cam like her Daisy Brown channel?
@@ProdigyGirlGaming Yep, it's an Instagram account to and you can find a link to that through the echo rose TH-cam channel 😁
ProdigyGirl there's a couple videos about it on TH-cam already also
I'm just listening to the part where the guys are talking in the Ihop and I can hear out of touch by hall and oates playing in the back and I know I'm probably going too deep into it but hey
He's out of touch with his entire world and any contact he has for getting back to it so that's a fun thought
"Where the Streets Have No Name" by U2 also plays in the background in that scene. Didn't Dad say he loves U2? :D
Owner of a lonely heart by Yes also plays in the background
an absolute banger
She is trying to reach the "9th Planet" and I know Pluto isn't a planet but it was considered one at one point. Dad looked up Pluto during his Cult Expose' video. This might just be a coincidental observation but hey, that's just something I noticed at the end.
I’m a bit confused that telephones obviously are necessary for telepathy.
Telepathy is for localized communication. The phone is basically a stand-in for a laptop, doing communication with the greater internet and the like.
the frecuency of cellphones help "finetune" the telepahy, your ears cant hear phone waves, but your mind can(?) use it for communication.
in case you didnt know, lots of creatures use telepathy in the world, and then there are all sorts of radiowaves, basycally everyone is shouting hard all the time so... that.
if you wanna look back to all the matrix connections, maybe the cellphones are a portal between TH-cam and the real world.
ShroudedWolf51 How do you know?
5G Elon Musssssssssssssssssssk
I love how you’re playing along with this, it adds to the lore and it’s super exciting
"The way you speak seems more telepathetic to me"
My hope was that Dads packages to the investigative TH-camr's was more of a "stop poking holes in my plot - youre giving too much away" than actual hostilities. There's already been evidence that the legal action never happened for real - it was just story level.
it's just Dad parodying Mystery youtube in a fun/loving way
I have a theory. When andon first meets the guy whose name I can’t remember, the guy mentions something about The OA. The OA is a show on Netflix about a girl traveling through dimensions, so I wonder if that has anything to do with Dad.
The guy with the tarot cards in the true value vest? He mentioned OA his name is Cruthers
I noticed that too!!!!
"We can help Dad-Bot"
...kinda impossible to do that now.
Not if he has an indestructible endoskeleton.
We need the Dadinator!!
Now we can help dadbot 69
This Nathan Barnatt guy is truly dedicated to his project as if it's alive and evolving gradually. It's really impressive. He truly introduced a new form of "interactive artistic project."
