- (React) Happy Father's Day! - Thank you!
- (React) Today, as is annual tradition here at React,
you'll be trying not to cry as we roll you some dad-centric clips
in honor of this year's Father's Day.
- Okay, that was a Sierra thing before.
Now, I get to not like you. (chuckles) - Not cool. I'm a crier.
- Let's try this again.
♪ (soft piano music) ♪ - Oh, man. These are rough.
- "Welcome home, Daddy." Oh.
Must be a military...?
- Those military ones, they always get me one way or another.
- (people cheering) - Awww.
That's a sensitive age, you know? - So, as the dad in that situation,
seeing all the family members and stuff like that,
I think it would be very hard for me to keep in formation.
I would simply want to run over to my kids and family
and stuff like that, so that's tough.
- I know that as a dad that that's the kind of reaction you would like.
- "Ukranian father says goodbye to daughter as he stays behind
to fight against Russia."
- Aww. Aw, that is a heart broken. - Hm.
- That's the reality of life that's happening on the other side
of the world. While we're here enjoying our freedom,
these people are out there fighting for their country.
And that's a tough one. - I saw similar videos when I was
watching the early stages of the invasion.
And it got to me. You know, you get a little choked up
in the throat and stuff like that. This is extremely difficult.
- You don't know if you're gonna see them again.
That's the thing.
- Ooh. That was very emotional too. - That's a hard one to swallow.
In the previous one, the little girl was welcoming her dad,
and he hadn't seen her in a while. And in this one,
she's saying goodbye to her father and may not ever seem him ever again.
- Heaven forbid they-- they're at that age where they know
that he might not even come home. It's that possibility.
It's not fun to watch. It's sad.
- (Johnny) You kicked ass today. - Damn, that scene!
- (Johnny) Could've gone either way. - (Robby) Yeah.
Thanks.
- (Johnny) Hey, it's just a match.
Don't let it eat you up. Trust me.
- (Robby) It's not that. Um...
It's this kid. Kenny.
I thought I could take him under my wing.
Be the mentor I wish I had when I was younger.
- Kind of reflecting his own life.
- (Robby) And I realized I screwed everything up.
And I had all this hate inside of me for you and for Miguel.
But it just made things worse, and now it's never gonna get better.
- (Johnny) That's not true.
You had a good thing going with LaRusso.
I got in the way of that. Don't blame yourself. You blame me.
- (Robby) I'm sick of blaming you, Dad.
- (Johnny) It's gonna be all right.
- I know from the earlier seasons that the father wasn't there for him.
- Sometime, a breakdown like that,
let it all out is a relief and release.
- When my kids have opened up to me-- see, it's already making me,
you know, tear up--
it causes this emotion in me.
It causes something in me to just react the way I'm doing now.
- The last thing that we want while we're making those mistakes
is to hurt our kids, but it does happen.
And sometimes, the kids feel resentment because of that.
And the only thing we can say is we're sorry.
♪ (soft piano music) ♪
- Yes, that's awesome.
- This sucks. (laughs) - (React laughs)
- Oh, man. - My daughter, Nicole,
we just recently had her reception at the beginning
of this year, and so it's that same thing as a father.
You provide protection to your daughter up to now.
And now you're turning over that protection to somebody else.
- You don't want to have them deal with anything that's gonna
cause them hurt and pain. You help them by the way
you treat them and act. - I can put myself in that situation
and know it's just gonna be difficult emotionally.
I'll be very happy, of course. But it'll bring a lot
of emotion out for sure.
- (narrator) It's one of the most important moments
in a young officer's life: a commissioning ceremony.
- That's a big thing. - (narrator) This one last month
marking the moment candidate Michael Fisher
was promoted to an officer in the US Marine Corps.
The tradition, centuries old, made even more special
when Second Lieutenant Fisher's hero, his own father, honored him
with his first salute. - (dad) It is a privilege
to render you your first salute. - (narrator) The master sergeant
choking back tears, his voice breaking
as he celebrated his son's success. - (dad) It is...
a greater honor to say
congratulations, sir,
on your commissioning.
- He's proud.
- (narrator) A father and son now forever linked by service.
- That's extremely emotional too. I think it's predicated on the fact
that, as a father, you always want your kids
to do well, but in that respect, you hope that they're able
to do better than you. - Your dream and desire
is to one day, one of your kids follow
in your footsteps. And for them to do that,
you've done your job. - What you have done in your life
and being able to share that unique bond and--
it's just a very special moment.
(winding) ♪ (soft instrumental music) ♪
- (girl squeals softly)
- Is that a single parent?
- (girl gasps)
(monitor beeps steadily)
(monitor beeping faster)
- Well, it shows definitely how much that he loves his girl.
- Ahhh!
I know it's a frickin' cartoon, but jeez, man.
- (choked up) You wanna soak up all the pain that your kids have.
And it's not supposed to be that us, as parents, see our kids
going through pain. We wanna be there,
and we wanna just take it all for them.
That's hard. - It's like my oldest daughter,
you know, when she had cancer. I think it's 33,
which is very young to have. You know, when she was
in the hospital, I was running in and out.
You just wanna be there. - I tried not to.
Failed miserably. It's all right, though.
- (React) All right, Gary, we've got one more, all right?
- Okay. - (Traci) Hi, Dad.
Happy Father's Day. - She's the one. (laughs)
- (Traci) You are the best dad in the entire world.
- (choked up) So happy she's gotten through, you know?
- (Lucas) Hi, Dad. - (Nicole) Hey, Dad.
I hope they didn't make you cry too much.
Sorry I didn't tell you what you were coming in to film.
- (Jordan) 'Ello, poppet. - (chuckles)
- (Jordan) Hey, Dad! - (Jaden) We've already done one
like this before, so you better start crying now.
- (Nicolas) Thank you so much for being a great role model
for us and showing us love and support in everything
that we do. - (Meghan) Thank you for being
the most amazing father anyone could ask for.
And I know I wouldn't be able to make it through
each day without you.
- (Jaden) Even just playing baseball or just being at games,
you're able to just be an honest person with me.
- (Jordan) Does this look familiar?
- Yes, I was gonna say that's my hat. (chuckles)
- (Maximo) You know, you've made so many sacrifices,
not just for me, but for our whole family.
And I can't express enough how much I appreciate you
and all that you do. - (Nicole) ...for teaching me,
most importantly, how to cook and the joy of avocado toast.
- (chuckles) - (Nicole) And for just being
the person that I know I can always rely on for any problem.
- (Jordan) And you help take care of us.
And I love how obsessed you are with mom. (chuckles)
It's so cute. - (Traci) And you are always
making me laugh. So, again, Happy Father's Day
and I love you. - (Lucas) I love you so much
for supporting me in dancing and for always being there for me.
- (Jaden) I love you, Dad. - (Meghan) I love you so much,
and I hope you have a wonderful and amazing day.
- Ah. I was always call her an independent bitch. (laughs)
She is so strong, you know, and so brave in front of us,
you know? And I make sure that she knows
I'm always there for her-- for them. - Trust me, any tears
that are coming out are tears of joy.
Although, it may not look like I'm enjoying it.
- This is something that makes me happy
because, I mean, they are my life. - You know, that's all we can wish for
as a dad is, you know, that your family sees the hard work
and, you know, appreciate it. And that's all we can do.
- Sometimes, those are reinforcements for me
to get me to step back and think, "You know,
things in my life can't be that bad when I have
a daughter like that."
- I'd like to wish every father and person who is a father
to that person's life Happy Father's Day.
- Like and subscribe for more fun videos.
- Bye-bye. - (laughs)
- You're crying. Haha. - Oh. You see why I can't cry
in front of them? - (React) I love it.
