00:00I don't know what's worse, the gags or the gas. Here's your Christmas spot in the running press. Pull my finger.
00:21Pull my finger does tell 15 dad jokes.
00:24It's kind of weird the fact that they've actually connected the two things together
00:27because generally when your dad says pull my finger, you're not going to get a joke.
00:30You're going to get a joke, but it's going to come at your own expense.
00:33It does though tell 15 dad jokes.
00:36If you have been a receiver of a dad joke or you're one that likes to give them,
00:39let me know some of the best dad jokes down below in the comments section. Now, I haven't actually opened this up.
00:44I ordered this from Retro Festive. The price listed on the back here is $15.50.
00:50You must be joking. At least here in Canada, I'm not.
00:53If you are lucky enough though to get this in the US, it'd be $11.95.
00:57On the back of the box, it says, need some comic relief?
00:59Just pull the retractable finger and hear one of 15 classic dad jokes that are so embarrassingly bad. They're good.
01:06Set includes a mini book and even more cringe-worthy dad jokes. Sign me up. Comes to us from the folks over at runningpress
01:12at www.runningpress.com. It's for ages seven and up.
01:15I'm, not really sure why it can't be seven below other than maybe perhaps the fact it does have a button cell battery.
01:21It does give you a warning. That's not a joke. That's the serious real thing.
01:24It says, contains button cell battery. Hazardous if swallowed.
01:28Of course, don't be swallowing a button cell battery, whether it comes from somebody's finger or not.
01:32In fact, don't eat anything that's coming from somebody's finger.
01:35Just reaching off to the side though, I'm going to grab my knife here. McCutcheons.
01:38Again, because I haven't actually opened this up.
01:40I wanted to wait and get the same
01:42exact response from myself that you probably are going to be getting yourself when you're looking at this.
01:47So we're going to open up the flap
01:49and let's see exactly what we have. So of course we have our pull our finger.
01:53Looks like something that I would see from like an old 70s Beatles cartoon. Of course, we also have as well the booklet.
02:00I love the fact that we get our
02:02mustache here.
02:04Ah, that's a Tom Selleck mustache if I haven't seen one. Little book of dad jokes.
02:08We're going to read through. I'm not going to read obviously the whole entire book,
02:11but we'll get a few passages in there.
02:13And of course the more serious thing again with product information. Three replaceable, non-rechargeable 1.5 volts.
02:19LR44 button cell batteries are included to activate, remove plastic tab from slot in battery door and discard.
02:26I'm going to hold on to this.
02:28Safety things are always things you didn't want to be throwing out.
02:31Of course, we also have. You want to quickly look through the book? Okay, let's quickly look through the book.
02:35So we got pull my finger.
02:36I don't know if the dad is smiling like this and he's extending out his digit.
02:41I don't care what digit it may be. Don't be pulling it.
02:44Some of the jokes, for example.
02:46A little passage, I suppose, from the at the beginning here from the person who wrote the book.
02:50Q&A dad jokes. Do we need a Q&A? One of the earliest known published appearances of the term dad joke was coined by Jim Calber.
02:59An edition with the Gettysburg Times in Pennsylvania, who in response to a young comic went on national TV proclaiming that all dad jokes be banned.
03:07Responded in his column that
03:10The dad jokes should be preserved and revered.
03:13It is one of the most reliable aspects of fatherhood that everyone can count and and passed on from generation to generation.
03:20These dad jokes will surely make you laugh or cringe.
03:23Isn't that the most important thing?
03:24And also one of the reasons why I wanted to look at this during the Christmas season.
03:29If you have a dad that tells dad bad dad jokes, a perfect gift for him underneath the tree or in his stocking.
03:34Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing?
03:38In case they get a hole in one. No, no, don't throw it at me. I didn't write the book.
03:42Somebody right now is winding up their turnips. Why do cemeteries have fences? Because everyone's dying to get in there.
03:51Producer Tony, by the way, who has been this whole time. Everybody's been wondering where producer Tony. He has been here.
03:56He still works up up in his loft. Producer Tony, do we have the budget for a drum roll?
04:02We don't.
04:04We don't even have a budget for oh, that's why we're that's why we're giving an expired
04:08Expired sandwich meat, right? Yeah, because we don't have the budget. Okay
04:12The next page we'll just go through a couple of these. What did one hat say to the other hat?
04:15Stay here. I'm going on ahead
04:19Actually, that was a legitimate laugh on my part. I sold up the laugh but inside actually I did giggle to that one
04:25Have you heard about the restaurant on the moon? Great food. No atmosphere
04:31Indeed
04:32Well, you know what let's flip ahead a few pages. I don't want to miss the good stuff inside
04:36What do you call a lazy tater tot? A couch potato. Okay, that one that one wasn't very good
04:40Why was the student's report card soaking wet? It was below sea level
04:46Me putting down the book by the way is you probably could see the look on my face. It would just be like
04:52What does the dentist uh, what does the dentist of the year get? A little plaque
04:59Legitimate laugh
05:00Last one. Why do bakers get rich so rich they make so much dough
05:04No, we need to we need to end on a high. Let's let's pick a better joke than that
05:08Anything that has a dog playing drums i'm going to stop right there
05:11I spent a lot of time money and effort childproofing my house, but the kids still get in
05:17The doctor told me i'm going deaf the news was hard for me to hear
05:20Okay, that's that that's one we can go in on a high
05:22So i'm just going to prop the book up here just in case I want to go back to that
05:26I hope by the way, though all the jokes that I finished reading aren't on the figure itself
05:31Now this would be a perfect finger too that it you know
05:34While you pulled it it would emit a smell because generally again with your dad saying
05:38Asks you to pull his finger a dad joke is not usually the thing that's going to be coming with that
05:43Of course the finger itself is all done here in purple plastic paint the nails there in green down below
05:48It says pull my finger just in case you didn't already know
05:50Clearly there is a point a point to this that you have to pull don't point that at me
05:53There's a nail on the end of it. See that's one of my own dad jokes on the bottom of it
05:57There is the battery compartment. Uh, there's the little restraining piece of plastic we can remove that
06:02All right, and I think we're good. The finger has loaded whether that'd be a good thing or not
06:07So let's pull the finger the first time
06:08I don't know. I don't know if i'm going to cycle through all 15 jokes
06:11Do you guys want to stick around for all 15 jokes?
06:14Wow, there's a lot of a lot of hands. Okay, so let's pull the finger on this hand
06:24Oh dad joke hand
06:27It's a little cheesy
06:31I have a fear of speed bumps. I'm slowly getting over them. Ah, see that that one was good
06:37Did you hear about the priest that became a lawyer? He's a father-in-law
06:43Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing in case they get a hole in one
06:49Uh, see unfortunately, I just happen to have already read that in the book. So that's old news finger
06:54Did you hear the rumor about the butter? Well, i'm not gonna spread it
06:58Okay, that one that one that one was actually good. What's it called when a cat gets stuck in a tree?
07:03a cat-astrophe
07:06That that needs work if that was the joke that you're gonna end your your set on
07:11I think people would also be throwing turnips at you. Why are bakers so rich?
07:14They make so much dough. No, no that no we not one of the better ones finger
07:19What did the hot dog say when he crossed the finish line?
07:22I'm the wiener. I'm the wiener
07:25I'm wondering who by the way has done the voice for this
07:27It'd be interesting if they could have brought in an actor
07:30Not like an a-list actor because obviously a lot of the budget would have to have gone into like you couldn't get jerry
07:35Seinfeld also jerry seinfeld's very recognizable character. Um, i'm trying to think of like adult
07:41Well, obviously adult i'm trying to think of like
07:44comics that are dads
07:46I can't think of anybody right now
07:49Gaffigan jim gaffigan jim gaffigan. I don't know like what his going rate is
07:53It can't I can't imagine it'd be all that high jim gaffigan is the one I would probably get to
07:57Narrate all the jokes on this finger. Is jim gaffigan available? He's probably cooking up right now hot pockets
08:03That was his big thing. Let's pull the figure on this side. Maybe we might get in fact better jokes
08:12Couldn't help but also notice too i've been looking at this whole side this whole time on this side
08:16When I look at it this side, I can't help but notice there's a little smudge. Oh, wait, can I get that off?
08:21There's like this little bit of residual
08:24Shininess that came out of the packaging like that
08:27What do you call a lazy tater tot a couch potato old news purple hand old news?
08:39You know, it's so funny too like if you're looking at how many pages are in this book
08:42What are the chances that i've now come across three jokes that were in this book?
08:46I mean look how many jokes we have and yet 15 jokes
08:49I would have almost even had them like the top of the line the a-tier jokes
08:54I would have probably put into the finger here
08:56Not ones that just pulled from the book have the book have their own jokes. These are extra jokes
09:00That's the thing like that book should have all extra things that already aren't on the finger
09:05How many how many have we gone through by the way?
09:06Has anybody been counting taking a tally of jack of dad jokes? Here we go
09:09What did one hat say to the other hat stay here? I'm going on ahead
09:14Have you heard about the restaurant on the moon great food?
09:17No atmosphere. I also feel like we maybe have gotten near the end of our 15 jokes here. Why was the student's report card soaking wet?
09:26It was below sea level. All right finger. We've already gotten all these jokes already. How many how many more do we have?
09:32I finally got around to watching that documentary on clocks. It was about time
09:37So that was I believe the first joke that we heard i'm just curious to see are they all going to be in the same?
09:41Order or is it going to randomize them? I feel like it probably will be the exact same ones each time same order
09:49Yeah, so it seems that once you get to the end of the 15 jokes
09:53It goes right back to the beginning and it plays those 15 jokes again
09:57I'm sure the appeal the novelty of this will wear off after you've already heard the 15 jokes or like myself
10:03You have already skimmed through the book and just happen to have selected the same ones that are on the finger
10:08So I won't give points for the fact that like obviously they were just reusing the same jokes
10:12I think I can like if this is extra books extra dad jokes. These should be extra dad jokes
10:17They shouldn't be the ones that are on the finger. What do you guys think of this?
10:19Let me know down below in the comment section again
10:21I don't know like for looking at the price here
10:23It's 15 dollars and 50 cents canadian and then of course there was the shipping on top of I think when it was all done
10:27I probably paid like 20 dollars for this, but i'm a dad. I appreciate a good dad joke
10:32Do you know any good dad jokes?
10:33Let me know down below in the comment section
