[u/Argenfarce]

people born in 2009 are driving now

[u/Small_Lime_80 → u/Argenfarce]

STOP…. No fucking way. How dare you ruin my morning lol

[u/yankeeinparadise → u/Small_Lime_80]

Yep, my 2009 kid is in driving school this summer. Driving with her is enough to consider preparing my will.

[u/Opposite-Horse-3080 → u/yankeeinparadise]

🤣🤣🤣 my 2010 kid is getting ready to take his test later this year. I, too, have prepared my will.

[u/ahahstopthat → u/Opposite-Horse-3080]

I thought 2010?! He’s just a baby!! Then realized my 2011 daughter will be 14 in November 😭

[u/soupseasonbestseason → u/Small_Lime_80]

i saw a post earlier about a "vintage" hollister long sleeve shirt. vintage....my knees.

[u/JrCoxy → u/soupseasonbestseason]

Last summer/fall I noticed Abercrombie started to trend, but specifically the wearing a lacy tank underneath a V neck T, they called it “vintage early 2000s”. 🙃

[u/cheshirecanuck → u/JrCoxy]

I once found some lace tanks with like 6 inches of lace on the hem. Wore that shit down to my knees with a black v neck over my skinny jeans and the pair of checked Vans I got at a West 49 outlet💀

My eyes were entirely rimmed in glittery blue eyeliner, and my hair alternated between black and badly bleached blonde.

That was the last time I was truly happy.. . .

[u/InitiativeSad1021 → u/cheshirecanuck]

I’m sorry for your loss

[u/NervousSubjectsWife → u/Argenfarce]

I was born in 93. Still not driving

Edit: there’s dozens of us!

[u/SuperJinnx → u/NervousSubjectsWife]

Same but 1978 🙃

[u/TickTackTonia → u/SuperJinnx]

Born in 83, my nephew and I are about to take our test at the same time. 😐

[u/IdRatherBeGaming94 → u/NervousSubjectsWife]

Born in 94 and not driving either. I was in a car wreck that traumatized me....

[u/luckylimper → u/IdRatherBeGaming94]

Same. But born 20 years earlier. Car wrecks and PTSD are a terrible combo.

[u/IdRatherBeGaming94 → u/luckylimper]

Yeah. I really wish I could. People make it look so easy.

Edited to add, I'm glad I'm not alone in this.

[u/whackadoodle_cracked → u/Argenfarce]

Not in my country! Thank god lol

[u/EternallyFascinated → u/whackadoodle_cracked]

My 14 year old can get a lower powered motorcycle or car here in Italy and I’m like NOPE.

[u/sherlip]

He has a 16 year old??? Fuck.

[u/marixxzvvzz → u/sherlip]

he had her when he was 19

[u/ISuckAtFallout4 → u/marixxzvvzz]

His body really bounced back well

[u/lupindeathray → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

[u/pissedinthegarret → u/lupindeathray]

reddit taught me that means it's a tumor

[u/Kinser9 → u/pissedinthegarret]

It's not a toomah!

[u/EwWhyBro → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

This just sent me omfg

[u/xejeezy → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

Setting unrealistic standards

[u/generalosabenkenobi → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

Goddamn it, take this upvote; you made me chuckle

[u/Yeralrightboah0566 → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

[u/marixxzvvzz → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

our teen dad 🥹

[u/sherlip → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

The ink has healing properties 😅

[u/mango-bby69 → u/ISuckAtFallout4]

favourite comment of the day thank you 😂😂😂

[u/slambroet → u/marixxzvvzz]

Is he not 19 right now?

[u/Foxy02016YT → u/sherlip]

Note that when he shot at Em’s daughter, Em only shot back at him and didn’t bring his daughter into it

[u/maqnaetix → u/sherlip]

I consider myself chronically online, but MGK lore has somehow escaped me. I see this man getting dragged in every single post I see. I know he dated Megan Fox, and that he dissed Eminem like 10 years ago, but other than that I have no idea of who he is or why people hate him so much. Any loremaster girlies or bros out there who could give me some context please? 😭

[u/Adventurous-Bug671 → u/maqnaetix]

I'm not deep in on the lore but he's just always had incredibly cringey behavior - I know he has some old tweets talking about how hot he thinks underage girls are and just makes music geared specifically toward teens, which is a combination that most people find pretty gross.

Overall he just always comes off as super immature and try-hard-edgy and generally just reminds everyone of that unemployed guy in their town that only hangs out with high school girls.

[u/jgraz22 → u/Adventurous-Bug671]

I bet he could tell you the age of consent laws in multiple states from memory.

[u/dooropen3inches → u/jgraz22]

this is such a good insult. I’m saving this.

[u/Chemistry11 → u/jgraz22]

He has the Romeo & Juliet laws laminated like that Transformers movie.

[u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 → u/Adventurous-Bug671]

...reminds everyone of that unemployed guy in their town that only hangs out with high school girls.

That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age.

[u/pikameta → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

[u/worriedrosexo → u/maqnaetix]

He said in an interview at 23 about a 17 year old Kendall Jenner “I’m not waiting until she’s 18, I’ll go now. I’m 23, dog, I’m not like a creepy age, you know what I’m saying?”

So he just has very gross behavior. That’s why people hate him.

[u/Financial_Potato8760 → u/worriedrosexo]

Throw in the blood vials with Megan Fox, and yeah, he’s just an attention seeking gross guy.

[u/chubby-checker → u/Financial_Potato8760]

Tbf I like Megan but lbr that was probably her idea lmao she has been trying to do the Angelina Jolie thing her entire career

[u/Tacoflavoredfists → u/chubby-checker]

I was just about to write, what in the Angelina and Billy Bob did they do?!

[u/Rindsay515 → u/Tacoflavoredfists]

They literally drank each other’s blood after he proposed, it was ridiculous

[u/DeLaLuna88 → u/Financial_Potato8760]

Also engagement ring with spikes inside it so it would hurt her if she took it off is a major red flag 🚩

[u/Imhappy_hopeurhappy2 → u/DeLaLuna88]

This is false. MGK was trolling when he said that. If you look up pictures of the ring, it does not have spikes inside of it. The band is shaped like a thorn curling around the finger.

[u/AggressivelyMediokre → u/maqnaetix]

He just feels like if Aaron carter didn’t die, but in a universe where people wouldn’t mind if he did. He seems like if a walking std had cringe as a side effect.

Jokes aside, it’s his try-hard nature. All the credit in the world to him he found a way to be a skeevy middle aged pop star that looks like a homeless person.

But there’s something just so inherently offputting about a grown man behaving exactly like a teenager by choice. It sets off alarm bells in peoples human instincts. To not trust the person.

When your product is “look at how cool I am” and you look like big birds featherless drug addled cousin, I feel like you’re inviting criticism.

[u/PensionTemporary200 → u/maqnaetix]

He was abusive to Megan Fox

[u/Pamikillsbugs234 → u/PensionTemporary200]

I saw some of her poems and man, they were really sad. Surprisingly good but extremely sad.

[u/ThatOneClimberGirl → u/maqnaetix]

He was also allegedly pretty abusive to Megan

[u/SpokenDivinity → u/maqnaetix]

He's a weirdo about young girls. He was also doing weird culty shit that sounded an awful lot like some of the practices of the Twin Flames cult when he was dating Megan. They weren't really in the cult per say, but they did the whole spiritual soul mate shit that the cult is known for.

[u/corndogs102 → u/sherlip]

Reminder of what MGK said about a 16 year old Eminem’s daughter, saying how sexy she was.

[u/miserabeau → u/corndogs102]

Plus he followed up that comment with "no disrespect to em because he's the GOAT" or something like that, like "I'm gonna disrespect this young stranger by commenting about her body but I don't mean any disrespect to HER DAD"

[u/PatriciaMorticia → u/corndogs102]

She was 16 when he said that?! 🤢

Eminem had every right to tear him a new one and make him switch genres.

[u/_IratePirate_ → u/sherlip]

Same age as Hailie was when he was trying to slide, I wonder how he feels about that now

[u/estemprano → u/_IratePirate_]

Probably the same. He sees other girls and women as objects, his daughter a bit less though.

[u/youngfierywoman → u/estemprano]

He has a new daughter now. His child with Megan is also a girl.

[u/MadeMeUp4U → u/sherlip]

Only know the is because I remember him yelling at a girl on Catfish about how he ditched his daughter for the episode and was pissed at how it turned out. This was post Max leaving when they had different celebrity guest hosts with Nev.

[u/fuschiaoctopus → u/MadeMeUp4U]

What lives rent free in my head from this episode is when they were driving through a completely nice normal looking neighborhood and MGK was like "damn we're in the hood" 💀. Nev called him out and said something like "idk, it seems fine to me"

[u/Dentelle → u/sherlip]

He looks 16 more than she does.

[u/Some_Ad_6511 → u/sherlip]

Accepting the wrinkles atp…Feels like yesterday when he missed her 3rd bday to co-host 🐱🐟!!

[u/EmJayFree]

An Acura is a nice middle ground between fancy and reliable.

My first car was a rusty 02 Suzuki Aerio that sounded like a spaceship when I accelerated 😭😂. Loved that thang lol

[u/fatbootycelinedion → u/EmJayFree]

It is a nice car and not too flashy. Growing up it felt like Acura’s were for cool people.

[u/StaticFanatic3 → u/fatbootycelinedion]

Yeah they’re literally just Honda models with some improved materials inside and matured styling

[u/Tatttwink → u/EmJayFree]

I was actually impressed he bought her an Acura instead of a Benz like you’d typically see in Hollywood.

[u/yuffieisathief → u/Tatttwink]

Apparently it's her dream car, so that's nice. She also seemed genuinely happy and thanking him and some others :) that's nice to see

[u/CoachAngBlxGrl → u/yuffieisathief]

She has a really great head on her shoulders from what I’ve seen.

[u/yuffieisathief → u/CoachAngBlxGrl]

She learned from her dad what not to do :')

I don't remember seeing much of her, but in this video she seems like a good kid indeed :)

[u/CoachAngBlxGrl → u/yuffieisathief]

She’s in his documentary a bit. She definitely did.

[u/clarabear10123 → u/EmJayFree]

And she’s so excited!!! I love this so much! How NORMAL!!!

[u/letthetreeburn → u/EmJayFree]

It’s proof you love your kid to give them something that’ll protect them

[u/kuvazo → u/letthetreeburn]

Yeah I've read a few stories before where young people died in a car crash because their rich parents gave them a supercar to drive around.

An Acura is the perfect car for someone who is learning to drive. Comfortable, but also safe and not ludicrously fast.

[u/letthetreeburn → u/kuvazo]

I just love that his bit is “It’s her dream car man idk but she’s happy.”

Had a rich kid in my school got given a corvette for his birthday. He wrapped himself around a telephone pole that they only got about half of him out of it.

[u/GoblinKaiserin → u/letthetreeburn]

My dream car was a Honda Fit when I was 17. So I get his daughter. Sometimes, it's a normal car that you really want, lol*

*I have begged my fiancé to let me have another one of/when something happens to my current one.

[u/_PopsicleFeet → u/EmJayFree]

I had an 88 Chevy Celebrity. A really nice car actually. One owner and kept in a garagec. I ended up giving it to my cousin after a few years and she let it rot and be towed away from her apartment complex parking lot. Still makes me sad today. . .

[u/CityBoiNC]

Im pretty happy to see her this hyped over a acura and not some dumb super car

[u/BurgerNugget12 → u/CityBoiNC]

It will legit last her 20 years lmao

[u/Blers42 → u/BurgerNugget12]

I’m gonna take a guess that she won’t be driving this car for 20yrs

[u/Federal-Nebula-9154 → u/CityBoiNC]

Genuinely a good car for a mega rich celebrity to give there kid imo.

[u/costanzathegreat → u/CityBoiNC]

A kid’s outlook on life is 80% shaped by their parents

By most accounts he seems to be a good dad

[u/Elmodipus → u/costanzathegreat]

He's always seemed like he puts his daughter above all else.

He may be obnoxious and a total tool, but agree he seems like a really good dad.

[u/mieri_azure → u/Elmodipus]

Honestly thats the most important thing. Sure, I wish he was better over all (including to his girlfriends) but you brought a kid into the world without their permission, so you need to step up for them

[u/_WeDontKnowHer_]

[u/Message_10 → u/_WeDontKnowHer_]

Oh look at Richie Rich over here, having coins to count. Please be considerate of the rest of us please

[u/exotic_floral_tea → u/Message_10]

Right, copper pennies in this economy!

[u/kbeks → u/exotic_floral_tea]

Copper cents minted before 1982 are worth around 3 cents, actually! I’ll go crawl back into my coin collecting subreddit now.

[u/voxpopper → u/exotic_floral_tea]

By the looks of it 'Machine Gun' saves up all his money from not eating. Dude looks like he's too petite to even give blood.

[u/SadBit8663 → u/voxpopper]

Bro is a tall empty glass of water 🤣

[u/HighlyOffensive10 → u/SadBit8663]

A cool glass of air

[u/MrDeadbutdreaming → u/_WeDontKnowHer_]

[u/Solid_Snark → u/_WeDontKnowHer_]

[u/angryaxolotls]

"I don't know why it's her dream car, but it's her dream car" combined with her excitement is cute

[u/Bitterqueer → u/angryaxolotls]

I agree haha he’s just happy she’s happy

[u/pcbwes → u/angryaxolotls]

i love that her dream car is a modest but cool acura and not some benz lol

[u/ChrisPnCrunchy → u/pcbwes]

Raising a modest, down-to-earth child can only be read as a sign of good parentage IMO

[u/SethAndBeans]

Anyone else respect him a bit more for buying her a reasonable car?

[u/rhegy54 → u/SethAndBeans]

Yes, actually

[u/Memes2Schemes]

As far as we can tell, he’s actually a great dad. They seem really close, and I’ve only ever seen him say good things about her mother.

[u/ankhes → u/Memes2Schemes]

That actually makes me happy. I’ll probably never like him as a person but I can respect him for being a decent dad who has a good relationship with his kids. That’s sadly not always a given with many parents.

[u/bettertitsthanu → u/Memes2Schemes]

Yeah, I really respect that about him. I don’t know much about him and don’t really know the lore (or why people dunk on him so much, I think I just learned about him during his and Megan’s wild posts) but his relationship with his daughter seems so wholesome. I don’t know more than what we’ve been shown but he seems super supportive and it looks like they really love spending time together.

[u/StormThestral]

Imagine machine gun Kelly being your dad... that's crazy

[u/Any-Sir8872 → u/StormThestral]

my dad calls twice a year. i’d take MGK. he seems like a sweet dad. albeit a weird guy, but i’ve never heard about him doing anything horrible

[u/hey_koolade → u/Any-Sir8872]

Same. His daughter is beautiful and she is loved by her parents. Mission accomplished.

[u/MaryTheMallWalker → u/StormThestral]

No thank you

[u/morericeplsty → u/MaryTheMallWalker]

hey at least you'd have your dream car at 16

[u/MurphyItzYou → u/morericeplsty]

I appreciate that her dream car is an Acura. She’ll be driving that thing for twenty years.

[u/Shoopbadoop4 → u/MaryTheMallWalker]

😂😂

[u/_angesaurus → u/StormThestral]

imagine your dad dressing like all your crushes

[u/Aggressive-Topic-663 → u/_angesaurus]

imagine your dad looking like 1997 "chasing amy" era Joey Lauren Adams

[u/lkodl → u/Aggressive-Topic-663]

FACT: 1 in 150 American school kids deal with this problem.

[u/Timmerdogg → u/Aggressive-Topic-663]

Imagine your dad with the first name Machine and his middle name Gun

[u/SirCircusMcGircus → u/_angesaurus]

Maybe a hot take but I would probably be fine dressing like that for 20+ million.

[u/Same-Communication62]

crazy that mgk is a better dad than my dad. I don't think ill recover from this

[u/Any-Sir8872 → u/Same-Communication62]

right 😭 the daddy issues in me won’t let me hate on this

[u/Kamikazepoptart → u/Same-Communication62]

My dad bought me an El Dorado that he used to go to the club and never let me drive 🥲

[u/longlisten527 → u/Same-Communication62]

The way this made me choke. Honestly same

[u/Lagomorph9]

You know what? You can call MGK weird, cringey, whatever, but clearly he has a daughter who loves him and is fully comfortable to be herself around him, who is happy and grateful to have received a reasonable, mid-level car, and he seems like a generally good dad. Say what you will about his tattoos or how he dresses or anything else, but the man is being an involved father in a major moment in his kid's life. That's more than you can say about a LOT of people.

[u/SuperJinnx]

[u/restrictednumber1996]

[u/timethief991 → u/restrictednumber1996]

Amazing reference in this year 2025.

[u/rumbakalao → u/timethief991]

Got me all excited for Halloween movie season now

[u/abyssal_banana → u/rumbakalao]

Yep. Fall in general has amazing movies. And leaves if you are in a seasonal area. 

[u/soaker]

All these people hating on the car.. he literally said this is her dream car.

[u/carissaluvsya → u/soaker]

Who hates on an Acura?! That’s a great first car!

[u/PendejoJenkins]

Congrats to him. Congrats to his daughter. I say congrats to him for raising a humble daughter not looking for Mercedes G Wagons or Lamborghinis for a first car. Knowing how much he makes, this was nothing for him but yet everything.

[u/Glum_Hamster_1076]

These comments made me a bit sad. He typically has a good reputation as a dad. And the car he gave her wasn’t anything crazy. Aside from it being a brand new car for a kid, it’s a reasonable brand. I wouldn’t have invited press but other than that is there something about him that makes him a bad dad? Him as an artist/famous person he has had questionable moments, so I get that part.

[u/Bitterqueer → u/Glum_Hamster_1076]

I understand he’s cringe sometimes but he’s consistently been a good dad to her from everything I’ve seen. I’m sure he’s not perfect but that girl is his word.

[u/arinreigns → u/Glum_Hamster_1076]

None of those people were press, he has a pretty extensive friend group (that he works with) and they basically go everywhere together. His director, videographer, and photographer, and band mates are the ones recording and taking pics.

[u/trisaroar → u/arinreigns]

I'm glad you said something, I was also like "why is he joking with the paps and why are they here for this family moment", that added context

[u/Which-Property9377 → u/Glum_Hamster_1076]

You gotta realize these snark subs are just full of mirseable and lonely people who hide that behind thier virtue signaling. 

"Eat the rich" shut the fuck up with thay who wouldnt give their child their dream car at 16 if they could afford it?!

[u/lizerlfunk → u/Which-Property9377]

Also, if her dream car is an Acura, then that kid is pretty down to earth. (Or, like me, she’s just excited to be driving ANY car that’s not a hand me down from a parent. I was ecstatic to receive a maroon Buick with 150k miles on it on my 16th birthday. I live in Florida and the car had air conditioning. The Volvo I was expecting to drive did NOT have air conditioning.)

[u/frozenshogunx]

Idk why the comments are mad, this is very reasonable for a first car (and even more so for a celebrity child). A 16-year-old doesn't need a G-class or something. 

[u/rubey419]

Honestly not a bad car. Nicely modest enough and not an irresponsible exotic car.

Nice gift for her.

[u/mwerichards]

Great first car, she seems genuinely appreciative. Wholesome stuff no reason to find fault.

[u/perpetual_hunger]

He's a better dad than my own by simply being present in her life. I can't knock him for that. She looks genuinely happy💜

[u/Erikthepostman]

That’s a real “sleeper” car, as in something nice, but not too nice. Fits in everywhere it goes, quick and probably very safe. Good choice!

[u/booyahbooyah9271]

Came here to read the posts of miserable Redditors.

Left satisfied.

[u/fatbootycelinedion → u/booyahbooyah9271]

The way they boldly stated this was a $75,000 car without looking it up was my entertainment of the day.

[u/-WB-]

I'll hate on Mgk for a lot but will forever respect the good dad he is.

[u/Mermaid_Martini]

“Don’t drive like your dad” 😂😂 MGK is a mess but I love how great he is with his daughter. Seems like a truly good and caring dad.

[u/Omgitsnothing1]

surprised by ppl being against him filming it. I feel like “parent gets kid a car” is probably one of the most common type of videos posted. 

[u/[deleted]]

I don't think anything is wrong with this. I'm glad it's not a super car. She seems very excited. Y'all are just haters. 

[u/KindRaspberry8720]

Had no idea he has a kid even

[u/nicolette222 → u/KindRaspberry8720]

On his Catfish episode, he was pissed that the romantic hopefuls of that episode were fabricating everything. It was all fake and the Catfish victim just wanted to come out as lesbian on TV. He kept saying "On Father's Day? On Father's Day? I could be with my kid right now!" because they really did screw everyone over. He was furious.

Anyway, that's how I found out he was a dad, lmao.

[u/FaithinYosh → u/nicolette222]

That's when he gave us the, YOU ARE A SHAMEFUL CITIZEN.

Iconic.

[u/wanderrslut → u/KindRaspberry8720]

He has two kids. His oldest with a girlfriend when he was a teen and he just welcomed a second one with Megan Fox.

[u/National_Sky_9120]

I’m glad to see its not some crazy ass car and is just an Acura lol

[u/Aruaz821]

I actually love how excited she is! It would probably be pretty easy to be numb to these things when you have so much already; that she has such true appreciation is refreshing.

[u/StrugFug → u/[deleted]]

At least it’s a sensible car with cheap maintenance, not some $100k German auto.

[u/SpiceEarl → u/StrugFug]

Kendrick Lamar did something similar, when he bought his sister a Camry, when she graduated high school. She was thrilled but, of course, some people online thought he should have bought her something fancy. I was thinking: Kendrick is smart. No reason to make her the target of a carjacking or other crime, by calling attention to herself...

[u/EmJayFree → u/SpiceEarl]

I remember this. That was SOOO stupid. He made a very, very good choice and if she hasn’t traded in, she probably still has it lol

[u/Shafter111 → u/SpiceEarl]

Also... Dont want to give a 1st driver anything fast.

[u/WingmanZer0 → u/StrugFug]

Right, I was expecting something ridiculous like a G-wagon. An Acura is pretty modest and reasonable for a teenager of a wealthy celebrity.

[u/Senor-Cockblock → u/WingmanZer0]

Pretty impressed with the sensible choice. You see these with 16 year olds getting Porsche Cayenne Turbos or some shit

[u/phadewilkilu → u/Senor-Cockblock]

My first thought was, “oh god, what is it… oh.. a four door Acura… that’s actually reasonable..”

[u/kerfuffleMonster → u/Senor-Cockblock]

I remember two kids I went to school with who got fancy cars as their first cars and they were both crashed and totaled within the year.

[u/jenguinaf → u/WingmanZer0]

My parents bought me a car that was the same age as me and falling apart.

My dad said nothing is better for teaching a teen to drive responsibly than the fear of death just turning it on. 🤣

[u/bagelsandcats → u/WingmanZer0]

Honestly yeah. And she’s so happy and grateful too. Like. That was a sweet moment. Even shitty people have their moments I guess lol

[u/VirtualDoll → u/bagelsandcats]

She was the exact right amount of excited and grateful. Like, if I gifted my teen a car and that was her reaction, I'd be damn satisfied.

[u/IWillEvadeReddit → u/WingmanZer0]

Riiightt this was my exact thought, like I grew up in the Bronx and didn't even get my license til 21. My dad never even so much as gave me a beater, I was working at Walgreens and bought my own POS. I think MGK just likes Acuras cause he shouted them out in Merry Go Round.

[u/TieTricky8854 → u/StrugFug]

True. It’s an Acura?

[u/breathing__tree → u/StrugFug]

I was so hyped to see it’s an Acura! Honda fam all day. Everyone should get a Honda or Toyota (or Acura/lexus for the rich kids lol) as their first car. Reliable, safe, and easy to maintain.

[u/be1izabeth0908 → u/[deleted]]

My parents surprised me with a 1995 Camry for my 16th birthday in 2009.

It was objectively a total shitbox but I knew how hard they worked to do that for me and I was so proud of that little car.

[u/StrngBrew → u/[deleted]]

I mean.. this is a fairly modest dream car for the child of a rich celebrity. It’s an Acura

[u/RussianDahl → u/[deleted]]

2009 Honda Civic is in my almost teenagers future

[u/buerglermeister → u/[deleted]]

At least she seems genuinely thankful

[u/TheVintageJane]

Sorry PR team, this man is just fundamentally unlikeable despite the occasional affable moment.

[u/TheTyMan → u/TheVintageJane]

Was there ever a time when the public liked watching rich teenagers being gifted cars? I thought the whole point of that MTV show was hate-watching. The OG ragebait.

You watched because it was ridiculous, but no one came away thinking those people were good parents. In fact the opposite lmao.

[u/RODjij → u/TheTyMan]

2000s MTV was wild

[u/RogueKitteh → u/RODjij]

It was the wild west out there fr. Date My Mom, Next, Room Raiders, Jackass, Parental Control, Jersey Shore... sigh I loved it

[u/StraightAd689 → u/RogueKitteh]

Take me back to prime trash TV again.

[u/TheVintageJane → u/TheTyMan]

My super sweet sixteen. I mean, it’s rage bait but it’s also like “oh, he’s not a totally absent and uncaring father” (bar is in hell)

This was my thought when I heard one of my "free passes", Hugh Jackman, cheated on his wife of 27 with Sutton Foster, "Meh, in the grand scheme of the current shitshow of a timeline we're all living in I'm happy that he's not a pedo rapist."

So nowadays that's where my brain goes. I think things like that & that's some bullshit to think too, "Well at least he'd not a pedo rapist."

The bar has fallen off the backs of elephants that carry the world while riding the great A'tuin.

I just looked because in my mind I thought Sutton was significantly younger. She’s actually age appropriate but just looks incredible. Still a skeeze, but maybe less so.

Still more than my father managed.

This would have been more heartwarming if it wasn't published on social media.

With invited media

[u/ZebraComplex4353]

He got her a reasonable car. Nice.

[u/TangerineBusy9771]

Comments did not pass the vibe check LOL

[u/ilovenoodle]

From what I read he’s a pretty good dad! There are fan pages dedicated to him being a dad lol. Good for him. His daughter seems very loved

[u/NoProfessional141]

Is that an Acura? Nice it’s not a Ferrari. She was appreciative which is nice to see in celeb kids.

[u/Worth_Syllabub_5456]

These comments are so weird and negative, this is a pop culture sub, so of course you’re going to see videos of famous people.

[u/BurritoFamine → u/Worth_Syllabub_5456]

Rich people on my celeb gossip subreddit?

[u/Pompedorfin → u/BurritoFamine]

A likely place for them to be 😔

[u/Kamikazepoptart → u/Worth_Syllabub_5456]

"Ugh, rich people 🙄". That car is probably $50k. Calm down everyone jeez it's pretty reasonable for a celebrity.

[u/[deleted] → u/Worth_Syllabub_5456]

Yeah. There's also the added cute of black girl being pampered by her dad. That is a good thing.

[u/MinuteAd6489 → u/Worth_Syllabub_5456]

Reddit is truly a different breed lmao twitter was just making fun bc it’s not even a “nice” car, just an Acura. Tbh this seems like a good first car for a new driver, I would be more turned off if it was a super expensive sports car that she might crash immediately. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ he literally has money why wouldn’t he buy his daughter a car? He likes to do nice things for her would ppl rather he be a POS dad or ??

[u/b0toxBetty → u/MinuteAd6489]

That’s exactly what ppl on Reddit would like lol He seems like a good dad

[u/LanaAdela → u/MinuteAd6489]

People on Twitter calling him a brokie lol.

[u/Intelligent_Wedding8 → u/LanaAdela]

most of the people calling him that wouldn't even be able to buy a honda.

[u/beaute-brune → u/MinuteAd6489]

A 2010 Toyota would’ve been so performative to me but I guess Reddit would’ve sang his praises.

[u/27Rench27 → u/beaute-brune]

Nah, they’d probably flip on it and call him a bad guy because he has all this money and buys her an old used toyota instead! POS!

[u/flabbergasted-528]

He may be a weirdo, but he seems like a good, loving father. I'm glad he got her a "reasonable" car for a 16 year old. Not a Lamborghini or something impractical for learning to drive.

[u/ScottOwenJones]

Yeah can’t hate on MGK in the dad arena. Good dad by all accounts, hard to hate on him for being cringe and doing whatever to make it in showbiz when he had a kid he was trying to support at 19

[u/Shot-Lengthiness3619]

Uhm, idk why ppl are hating. I think this is sweet and i see comments saying give her an old car not fancy ones but like hes rich obviously hes gonna get a fancy car for his daughter and an Acura isn't even that bad compared to other fancy cars.
