Why Watch? Technically, there can only be one World’s Greatest Dad.
The fact that Josh Izenberg took this foam hat witticism seriously is a good indication of the kind of comedy at work in this short. It focuses on two men (wearing said hats) at a backyard party who get into a verbal pissing contest about which one of them is the better dad. The writing is sharp, and the two actors (John Sullivan and Justin Page) sell the escalating absurdity of the one-upmanship.
Happy Father’s Day, everyone. Be happy your dad cares enough to flip you some burgers.
What will it cost? Only 1 minute.
