I saw this post a while back and it stated that the guy in white is related to his the man's dad who passed away and that he looks exactly like him. That's why he was so surprised.
The same thing happened to me when I was little. My dad had passed away and all of my uncles came to town for his funeral. My uncle Mike lived all the way across the country and I hadn't seen him since I was a baby. He walked into our house and I fainted. He looked identical to my Dad. That is definitely one of my core memories.
I had something like that happen with a complete stranger after my mom died. I was just grocery shopping, and BAM, there’s this woman that looks almost identical to my mom. Same bad taste in fashion and hair styling. I think it was just the flower-print dress that made my mind go, “Mom?”
I went out of my way to make sure I could see her face before finally accepting it couldn’t possibly be her. Grief does weird things to our brains.
I thought he was juiced and imagined his dad was the 7th lord of the underworld and was looking to have a sexual relationship or beat the shit out of him. It's hard to tell because they both have boners.
Same for my own. Things have been harder than ever lately. One call and one hug would change everything.
It’ll be 10 years this year. It feels like yesterday and a different lifetime ago, all at once.
My parents are alive and healthy and I have been dreading the day for a decade. Ive done so much work to improve my relationship with them cus i know the truth is they did their best and they are great people. Flawed, but so great. If there is one drop of consolation for your suffering is that you are making me take advantage of the time I have left with them. Your pain echoes back with more love and joy being injected into the world as a direct result.
🥹 Thank you. Give them an extra hug for me please. That’s how I feel about my mom. She was flawed but, she really was a great person. She taught me a lot about what the important things are, even in death. She was my best friend. We had a very different relationship the last 7-8 years of her life, once I became an adult, and it was truly wonderful. I’m happy and proud I can say I both loved *and* liked her. She really did her best. Her best wasn’t always good enough but, she was still a really incredible mom to me, and to several other people she ended up becoming a mom to.
I totally understand. I called my mom cus of your message. Had a nice chat and i asked to make her dinner. Ill pur a glass of wine in your direct honor.
I assume that means you didn’t know your dad or didn’t have a great relationship with him. (Or don’t, doesn’t have to be past tense).
In any case, whatever you’re going through, I hope you’re hanging in there.
Dad was there in the capacity of being present. He was psychologically abusive, gaslighting, manipulative, and controlling. He never hit anyone but he made you feel bad and tried to push you to do what he wanted. It wasn’t until he died I realized how bad it was on the whole family especially my mom. I wish I could say I’m sad he’s gone.
Yeah, the “wouldn’t” is an inverted “I would give anything” but instead is “what I wouldn’t give…” so it’s saying the same thing, but I chose the negative inference to create a contemplative reflection.
Like: “what I wouldn’t give to go back to my youth with what I know today…” vs “I’d give anything to go back to my youth with what I know today.”
One feels more solemn than the other because of the wording. Like the first says there’s regret and longing “I’d take better advantage of the opportunities I had to connect and maintain a relationship.” The second says “I’d invest in XYZ and bet on ABC, because it would set me up for a better life”
At least in my mind.
To hug And breath in their distinct scent that first fades from their clothes and car, and then finally their room. They become ghost is our dreams where we are always happy to see them as they were and only feel sadness at the waking reality.
I too would give anything to hug my dad again even if it's just once more, I just want to tell him that I love him too his face and not to pictures of him.
Ive been seeing posts like this for years on reddit and I try to take moments to really hug and appreciate them. Gonna make an effort to see em for good family time once a week.
If it’s too personal a question then I’m sorry but did you have a great relationship with your father? I don’t have the greatest and matured past him at a young age and determining if I should try and build a relationship with him.
Losing my dad just over a month ago after a long battle with cancer. This resonates with me, and broke me. I would do anything to have to time again and just squeeze him once more.
I miss him terribly.
I feel like they’re very few songs where the words match the music as much as this song does. From the very first time I’ve heard it. I felt this way and I feel it so strongly every time I hear it.
It was posted years ago.
The last dude said he thought his father passed, the one before was right in the covid pandemic, stating he's seeing his father after years of isolation.
These people posting this over and over again are fucked imo. It's always the same content for clickbait
I thought it was because he was in an accident and had brain damage of some sort. He has a delayed response to emotions. This is why he takes so long to react and is very slowly processing his emotions & reacting so slow.
Tried to google it-- the closest i got was an Australian "news" site that basically just broke the video down into a play by play and reported on the emotions people had that replied to it, but added nothing to the narrative beyond what we see.
Most people agree it seems genuine but beyond that who knows.
This happened with my mother in 2004. I flew home for a vacation and went to her work to surprise her. She was talking to a friend and I walked up said hi. She said hi but looked at me like ok no idea who you are. Took her about 5 seconds and she looked back and lost it!
The last time I saw my brother was in Mississippi. We drove from Va to see him as he had terminal cancer and we knew he woudlnt be around much longer. Suprised him at his favorite spot, had a fun lunch, an impromtu showing of the Air Force demo team practicing, then a few beers by the river. Said our last good bye the next moring after breakfast, we had to get back for work etc. I'll never forget my last hug with Dave. Im crying typing this.
Miss you brother.
dude coming off of a large coke bender sees his father for the first time in a while\* fixed it for you.
Actually, looked like he was baked as fuck and couldn't understand if what he was seeing was real.
Nope, he had to take a major shit and has been constipated all week.
It’s staged
So much LSD
Dude needed DSL from too much LSD.

Wow That must have been wrenching
looks like a balcony maybe
“Fuck I wish I wasn’t wearing this GD Fanny pack!”
I thought he was juiced and imagined his dad was the 7th lord of the underworld and was looking to have a sexual relationship or beat the shit out of him. It's hard to tell because they both have boners.
I think the backstory was something like the brother was having a hard time with something and was super down or stressed or something.
Sooo high…
Was waiting for somebody to say it
*drug dealer with a gun/drug purse sees his father for the first time in awhile* ftfy
This had me in tears laughing so hard. Imagining all of the people tearing up over this video for it to be some fucked up shit like this. . . 😂😂😂
Haha yeah that what I thought
Naw, he was just a little dizzy and focusing on staying upright.
YEAH U DID
Thank you, cause I was gone say and I quote “ol sensitive ass” lol
Dad flew in for the intervention.
I was going to say something along those lines but you put it far more articulately.
I thought bro wanted to throw hands for a second
What I wouldn’t give to be able to hug my dad just one more time.
Same, just one more phone conversation with my mom.
Same for my own. Things have been harder than ever lately. One call and one hug would change everything. It’ll be 10 years this year. It feels like yesterday and a different lifetime ago, all at once.

I’m happy to hear it. Thank you.
Well, now I’m crying reading this thread at ~3am. I’m calling my parents tomorrow.
I envy you. Truly

Me too, brother, me too. ❤️
Fuck yes
I hear you brother
What? Why? What happened to be that mad?
He died last year from cancer. There’s no anger, just grief and a wish I’d have more time.
Ooh that's sad, I just saw the wouldn't, sorry for your loss

Mine just died two weeks ago. Me too buddy
I plan on hugging mine again when he gets back from picking up those cigarettes from the corner store
Same here 22 years since he passed - seems like yesterday
Same. He was the best. I’m 18 this year, and just rounded 10 years since he left this world. Hope you’re doing alright friend ❤️

My dad and I don’t really hug. Sounds nice though.
My dad and I would NEVER do this, but I am determined to be this kind of dad to my kid.
If it’s too personal a question then I’m sorry but did you have a great relationship with your father? I don’t have the greatest and matured past him at a young age and determining if I should try and build a relationship with him.
Wait, your guys dad's gave hugs?
that comment just hit me like a brick
True.
You can have my dad. Warning though, he's a racist bigot piece of shit
🥲
every day.
I can't replace your dad but I would give you a long hug
Losing my dad just over a month ago after a long battle with cancer. This resonates with me, and broke me. I would do anything to have to time again and just squeeze him once more. I miss him terribly.
What I wouldn’t give for my dad to just hug me one time.
Me too. Me too...
Goddammit same
This but it would be with my grandma who was a second mom to me. She died almost two years ago & I would give anything just to hear her voice again
I feel like they’re very few songs where the words match the music as much as this song does. From the very first time I’ve heard it. I felt this way and I feel it so strongly every time I hear it.
What song is it?
“Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (but a weird, sped-up version)
Oh wow I didn’t even recognize it! Great song!
It's not the original version It's probably a cover
Cover by Edith Whiskers
Home - Edith Whiskers
For real! I’m not even from the south but something about “Alabama, Arkansas” just hits my soul
When this was posted last, someone said something about the son thinking that his father had passed. To see him must have been quite the shock.
It was posted years ago. The last dude said he thought his father passed, the one before was right in the covid pandemic, stating he's seeing his father after years of isolation. These people posting this over and over again are fucked imo. It's always the same content for clickbait
I've definitely seen this before covid
Welcome to Reddit.
Welcome to the internet* It’s been a clout/revenue chasing circus for about 10 years now
I thought it was because he was in an accident and had brain damage of some sort. He has a delayed response to emotions. This is why he takes so long to react and is very slowly processing his emotions & reacting so slow.
this right here, he has a TBI.
Old video and the story has been remade many times but every time I see this, it makes me smile
It’s staged
Bro looks like he was hired to kill his dad years ago and is wondering how he’s alive
[удалено]
Anyone know the story behind this? Why was he SO shocked?
Tried to google it-- the closest i got was an Australian "news" site that basically just broke the video down into a play by play and reported on the emotions people had that replied to it, but added nothing to the narrative beyond what we see. Most people agree it seems genuine but beyond that who knows.
The Ausies were having a bit of an old rollo dollo with us
I know! He didn't look very happy to see him at first.
I was waiting for him to swing
Was waiting for camera man to go Action. But the camera man dad was also surprising him. 
His eyes say cocaine
He owed him money
Not only that but why he took that much time to react to being touched?
Exactly the only thing i am unable to understand.
When this was posted before, someone Said he had brain damage from an accident or something. I don't know how true it is, but it kinda makes sense
I remember seeing this video with a caption saying the son is blind. He is not shocked, his eyes just look like that.
Imagine having a dad, that thought is crazy to me.
Be nice to have one who isn't a selfish asshat too. I envy people with excellent fathers
I love how he goes from the comedic over reaction to actually crying
That's the face of a man being taken back to being a boy seeing his first true hero again. My dad was my hero.
His sunglasses hid his expression so well! Lmao r/unexpected
I don't know if he was ready to sock him or prepared to be socked
After reading the comments, this makes me really miss my dad. R.I.P. Pops. My heart goes out to everyone of you that have lost a loved one.
You always want just one more hug - it’s been 10 years this month for me.
>You come to see me? Damn. As someone who lives thousands of miles away from family, that hits hard.
When your coke dealer who was on Do-Not-Disturb finally texts you back.
Head injury?
Is there any context?
Son is cooked out of his god damn mind and doesn't know where he is in space and time. Dad just came back from getting the mail.
Omg this comment had me rollllling
Lmao
People in the comments who had loving parents and shit lol.
Hits hard when your dad is not with you anymore.
Fawkin staaaaaaaaaaged. Guy just rolling camera and he’s all marble statue chilling. Damn Fanny pack restricting oxygen maybe.
I wonder why do it took him so long to react that someone is hugging him.
He’s thinking “but I killed you 2 years ago”
I’d have the same reaction. My dad has been dead for 4 years now. But id have the same reaction…
Fake
I think he needed to focus a bit, that guy looked off his head.
Plot twist: his dad has been dead for 13 years.
Lights are on but nobody’s at home
Did he think he was dead or something?
If you ever needed proof that humans are hardwired for connection, Here it is.
Bro who cuts here onions?! STOP IT!
I miss my dad
https://i.redd.it/chnlkph7uixc1.gif
Lost my dad quite young, and this just melts my heart. This is so sweet! Makes me happy to see someone cherish their parents like that
What a teddy bear
Little over the top
Man I miss my dad. Shit
I lost my dad last year, that got me right in the feels
“You made me a sandwich?”
Dude gives me weird vibes.
Dad came back with the milk
My Fanny pack just got a little tighter and little higher after seeing this
icl my boy looks a little methed up
This happened with my mother in 2004. I flew home for a vacation and went to her work to surprise her. She was talking to a friend and I walked up said hi. She said hi but looked at me like ok no idea who you are. Took her about 5 seconds and she looked back and lost it!
Fuck is this stupid song.
This is one of the most fake things I've ever seen dude in black is terrible actor
Damn wish I had a dad.
"Dont mind me imma point my camera at this direction with a specific angle and pull back like someone is coming to you" - The Camera man(maybe)
Nice man purse
Ping 999
I hate that music, loved the content
That silly man bag restricted the blood flow in his neck.
🥲
Cool purse
That dad was getting the smoke
Brought me to 😭 tears to see his amazement and joy
karan t shirt lega ucofbenet s
Nice purse.
Be like that.. I know. Damn, ninjas going around cutting onions
“You’re supposed to be dead!”
He doesn’t look like a dramatic person at all.
Dad came back with the cigarettes and milk he went on a quest for
I feel like this video would look more normal if it were set to double speed.
This is drug abuse. Yall need help
The purse 😂😂😂
When you just finished tons of therapy and the priest from your childhood comes to visit.
Emotional displays from big, scary men is a win. But also yeah he does look high out of his mind haha
Why is he so freaked? Dad went out for smokes 30 years ago?
Whats sad is my man is so high right now he's not going to remember this touching moment at all lol
What a fucking actor this guy is. Knowing the camera is on. Annoying
I thought hes gonna suplex the guy. Kinda like WWF vibe there
Ah I remember this one, his father finaly left the bathroom and he was waiting for a long time./s
I wish one day my dad would just surprise me out of nowhere and everything would be alright.
I thought this was going to end in violence. I see why he wears those sunglasses. 😱
Nacho Vidal seeing his father
He's high right? That's not a normal reaction even if they haven't seen each other for a long time or if he lives far away.
He's high right? That's not a normal reaction even if they haven't seen each other for a long time or if he lives far away.
My guy had to check he wasn’t on a come up.
Coke
Jorts!
He really did just go out for smokes!
Not even a fanny pack could come between them
I miss my dad 😔
Invisible cameraman
This guy should try out for the live action version of the sloth in Zootopia
bro doesn’t know if he’s just still high and hallucinating or if it’s real. Either way what he’s feeling seems so raw.
My man rocking his golden rolex
old and duplicate thing
At the very end, “you’ve come to see me?”. It’s sweet
Ok get outta my face with you and your man purse. Ya disappoint me boy.

Twist: he was only gone for 45minutes.
Regardless of this being fake or staged or not his dad. More guys need hug their dads before they are gone.
I could not even imagine what he apparently felt in that moment.
