This is the type of dad who has like one daughter who he names Parker or Jordan or something and then raises her exactly like his sons and is so proud about what a tomboy his daughter is and then doesn't accept her when she comes out as a lesbian (this after he makes jokes about how boys better watch out with his baby girl for her whole life)
That is actually my dad except my brother and I are both theater kids...so basically my dad lives in a fantasy world and tries to delude himself into believing we like sports 😂
I had an adventure stepdad. He once insisted on doing backflips down a hiking trail in California (showing off his outdoorsy manliness), and landed with his rear perfectly on a huge cactus. He spent the rest of the hike picking cactus needles out of his bottom and his legs, grinning and red-faced all the while.. talking loudly about something, I don't remember what, with great enthusiasm.
This video forced me to accept that I grew up in an Adventure Family. I've been downhill skiing since the age of 7, and I've actually been white water rafting. One thing I think Chris forgot to mention is that most Adventure Families own a beach/lake house/cabin. Our property on Lake Superior has been passed down from my great-grandfather, who bought it for 15 cents an acre in the 1930s.
My dad thought he had two sons, both of whom snowboarded, then I turned out to be trans and my brother converted to Islam for good measure. Pretty sure the fact that we both still snowboard is the only thing keeping him together.
@@AdamLindell why is there a transphobe lurking in the comments of a chris fleming video? i'm almost impressed with your ability to stick it through chris's innate ability to explode the heads of any transphobe in the tri-state area. how's that townie homophobe grip going for ya?
Every single white boy that plays lacrosse in my school, or is in ski club (or both) (I live in Connecticut) Is like this. The stereotype is SCARY. Also, the posts on facebook every winter and spring when their weekends are filled with traveling to Colorado and Vermont smh. Every. SINGLE. WEEKEND.
"On the outside this may look like a small house" Mmhmm "but on the inside," Yes "It's" You have my attention "A Whole Foods." I was not prepared for this. My sides are escaping and are already halfway to the border. I had to reconstruct my laptop with gorilla glue after it was ground into oblivion by my spastic convulsions. What have you done to me? And whatever it was, thank you.
my uncle (not blood related. important that you know this.) is a geocaching dad - a very specific subgenre of adventure dad who forces his kids to make their own geodes and 'indulges' in organic, locally grown chocolate covered almonds
+Kbird13 At first I thought, wait, how could they have known he'd grow to like the power rangers, then I realized...your DAD likes the power rangers, and named his son Ranger.
i was going to reply to this to say i was the smile that "counts as indecent exposure" but it looks like i already replied to this comment a year ago despite having no memory of doing so
"I'm gonna go through a shoplifting phase and get away with it" shade of blonde lmaooooo but this is somehow such a perfect description how does he do thisssssss
My name is Caleb, so when that part came where you look directly into the camera and said my name, I freaked out a little bit. Also, I probably will eat a lot of burgers.
I’m surprised he didn’t mention that one. There are a lot of people who hunt in the more rurual parts of New England. I remember when I lived in upstate new york for a year and all the kids were excited to turn twleve cuz they could get their hunting license 😬
I know a family from my town that has three sons, one of which is named Gavin, they are the very definition of an Adventure Family, and we also live in the egg noodle state. The accuracy and precision of this video haunts me
Wow. Apparently, I had an adventure family and yet escaped having an adventure dad? My dad’s a huge nerd so he acts nothing like this, and yet every summer of my childhood was spent highpointing and occasionally white water rafting, ziplining, and helicopter rides. I was so unwittingly close to hell and I had no idea.
my dad wants an adventure family and at first i was laughing because this is accurate but then the first "active family" name you put out there was my last name and i don't know how to handle this
For the first time in my life I'm proud to live in New Jersey, because Gayle Waters-Waters just gave us a shout out. We may be pretty damn awful, but at LEAST we're not Connecticut.
I feel like you're describing white upper middle class culture and that's so funny to me. But what is white culture even? I'm sure this video describes a quarter of it.
the way i just had so many violent flashbacks to different encounters with adventure families that i met on girlscout trips in the span of 5 minutes help sjdkjskfd
I love and hate how he smiles at 1:51 because it makes him look scarily like my old high school classmate whose name actually was Hayden and who I'd be willing to bet actually went through a shoplifting phase and got away with it.
My sister works at a preschool and she had to deal with one of these jock douchebag parents last year. They would show up every morning with their son and be like “Hey Gavin! DOMINATE today Gavin! Yeaaah, DOMINATE Gavin!” My sister would always be like “are you kidding me? He’s 3 years old. 😐”
my brother stopped in the middle of a conversation and said "you know how people are mom friends? i think i'm an adventure dad friend." anyway this video slaps
This is my uncle who lives in North Carolina. He’s a lawyer with a three story house, a wife who has a recreational painting studio, and three sons whose only personality traits are soccer and bible quotes. Also the youngest one collects rare fish.
This was absolutely spot on, unfortunately. I still have flashbacks to ski trips. My brother is named Jonas. My father posed a video from the ambulance to Facebook after having a stroke. I am suffering.
I just found Chris last weekend. I binge watched “Gayle”, and now I’m going through everything else. I love how uncomfortable he makes me feel. That’s a sign that he’s telling the truth about societal norms or lack there of. Your agile long legs and adept physical humor is perfection. You are so cute and smart and funny, Mr. Fleming! Thank you for all!
Sigh... I used to laugh at this video when I was younger now I’m in college going for an adventure recreation and tourism major. Still one of my favorite videos though lol
This is the best thing that’s ever been in my recommended. I live very close to two skiing mountains in Pennsylvania and this couldn’t be more accurate.
This video changed the way I speak lol for whatever reason I really latched onto "Murphy-Coopers, let's motor!" to get my partner and cat going (not any of our names)
as the daughter of an adventure dad let me tell you that this video is what my nightmares are made of and he isn't even exaggerating one bit tbh
sparkydoodle96 is your name Brooke?
@@Hope-vb9ox lol no thank GOD my mom named meand made sure my father had nothing to do with life-changing decisions
Its comforting to know that the children of Adventure Dads suffer just as much as the rest of us.
This reminds me too much of my own dad and it causes me physical pain. I feel you.
@@Diana-pe7qd we should start a support group for adventure dad children
Until finding Chris, I've never seen comedy so surreal yet completely and utterly honest to the actual daily human experience.
So true, I completely agree! A genius!
Until finding Chris, I didn't really know how to use CZcams or, if I'm honest, my phone.
The perfect balance between absurdity and relatability
its always either:
- not true but funny
- overly specific
- frighteningly honest and accurate

The fact that he put effort into making the dads nose red just proves how awesome Chris is

also mocks femininity

my brother's name is ranger... not because my dad is an adventure dad, but because he likes the Power Rangers.
+Kbird13 At first I thought, wait, how could they have known he'd grow to like the power rangers, then I realized...your DAD likes the power rangers, and named his son Ranger.
i know brothers named ranger and hudson. i guess their parents couldn't think of any first names.
That has to be the name of one of Robert Rodriguez’ kids
Oh your dad likes power rangers, I thought for a second this was one of those hipster families that waits until their kids can talk to name themselves
The breakdown of connecticut is so accurate. As someone who lives in it, cts the worst
The absolutely chaotic and unhinged yet razor-like precise way Chris uses music in his videos is my favourite thing about his comedy
tag yourself im the bass boost when the dad claps

Chris's ability to switch from the Gayle persona to looking like a dude who exclusively listens to Eminem is incredible.
"I'm gonna go through a shoplifting phase and get away with it" shade of blonde lmaooooo but this is somehow such a perfect description how does he do thisssssss
Graduating high school, i knew a Gavin, a Parker, a Colby, and a Jordan. All of them snowboarded.
I lost it at group scuba lessons.

I love his use of the censor beep without actually censoring the word "dick".

"makes me want to put myself in a pelican's mouth and say 'just drive'" now THAT sounds like an adventure!
I worked at a ski resort for a few years. I hate these people lol
As in, fucking everyone at any ski resort?
these are the types of families you see in articles from 2014 about the dad killing his entire family and moving to ontario
