  • how about not knowing what you want from the fridge, so you just open it and stare at it and PD gets angry cause your letting all the the cold air out lol

  • how about pittsburgh dad telling you how to buy a car. he aint getting ripped off

  • How about an episode where PD is working in the garden and the rabbits are eating the tomato plants....and the kids are supposed to weed the garden and they aren't. ...also, one of the plants got busted from the kids playing.

  • BLOOMFIELD!!!!

  • I also always heard 'Yinz don't clean up them barbie dolls, I'm gonna burn 'em in the barrel out back. That'll teach you to clean 'em up!'

  • I remember always asking my dad if we could go out to eat and he'd proceed to go through ALL of the kitchen cabinets and the fridge and narrate to us all of the food we had and what we could make for ourselves. He'd put the word 'nice' in front of everything. Like, 'yinz don't need Grandes pizza, I went to Isaly's yesterday and there's a whole pound of nice chipped ham in the fridge. Yinz make a sandwich! And there's a whole case of Fresca in the basement!'

  • My dad is constatnly telling us, "Im gittin ridd-a some-a these animals! Cant even walk through my own hause without walkin into at least 3!"

  • what's the song called that's playing in the background?

  • Makes me homesick!!!!! Love every minute of it!

  • My dad while pacing the house and constantly looking out the window all the while never actually doing anything he says he'll do: "the neighbor's out there burning wood again, making the whole house smell like a camp fire. I should call the fire department on him"

  • I never had a father around - but heard all the same stuff growing up! I grew up just south of Pittsburgh city limits... I always had to weed the garden growing up! I think you should highlight the home gardens that Burgher's have.... AAAAAND the deer problem around the Burgh!

  • "no you can't have a slushy from Hills, it'll rot your teeth"

  • "hey, knock the slush off of those clod-hoppers before you ruin the rugs, this car has to last til you drive, and STOP touchin the windas"

  • "hey, where's your coat?! oh, you don't need one? what if the car breaks dahn, huh?" "oh now you're gonna cry? I'll give you somethin to cry about!" ... a few classics from growing up in an Allegheny Valley suburb.

  • Dad goes to "Permannys" Dad takes Deb to the museum DEFINITELY a Kennywood episode!

  • DAHN'EER i love my pittsburgh accent and i wouldnt change it for the world

  • I wanna be in an episode...

    

  • I grew up in Carrick & now I live in VA. I didn't realize how special our dialect & phrases were until I moved away from Pittsburgh.

    Our dad always yelled about leaving the lights on, leaving the door open,- he'll give us something to cry about ....

    We listened to KDKA radio for school delays (Farkleberry's for donations to Children's Hosp.)

    "Kennywood's open!" = zipper down

    Myron Cope = "YOY"

    Great work guys- we look forward to watching the future episodes

  • I moved to DC for an internship and I have been so homesick. I typed "Pittsburgh" into youtube and came across these episodes and they have been the PERFECT cure to get me through these next 3 months! This is fantastic! Thank you!

  • I just discovered your channel, great job guys, I enjoyed a real laugh, I am actually still laughing as I write this. A real treat for people like us that live in and around the Pittsburgh area.

  • Comment removed

  • I would like to see future episodes include the following key Pixsburgh phrases:

    "Don't feed dem ducks day got diseases!"

    " We were heading dahntahn to pants n at..."

    Not to mention something to do with Donnie Iris, South Side, Giant Eagle and Kennywood.

  • I don't know if you've done this one yet but, "Close that door, I'm not paying to heat the whole world." and "Why is every light on in the house? Do you want to own the electric company."

  • PLEASE, PLEASE, do a Pittsburgh Dad with "Wait till your father gets home" and "Don't make me stop this car, don't make me pull the car over!!!"

  • Gotta say yinz more often!

  • i always remember how i couldn't touch the living room candy jar, "Get you hands outa that jar before I break each one'a dem fingers." "No, the swedish fish are for guests!"

  • You said you grew up in Greensburg? thats pretty awesome i live in greensburg lol

  • God Bless you Lee Sagowitz...

  • You definitely need a cut-off jeans & work boots episode with the whole, "When I was your age......"

    "I walked to school." "Up hill. Both ways. In the snow."

    "We didn't need cell phones."

    "You were home when the street lights came on or you got the belt."

    I also like the:

    "You kids knock it off or I'm pulling over." (as he's reaching behind his seat to try to hit you)

    Keep em coming, they're awesome. I used these videos in a linguistic class to explain regional dialect- hahaha.

  • @ScheaButter We had to be on the step when the street light came on! There was one a door down from our house. How many times did our Dad tell us he was turning the car around if we didn't act right.

  • Family reunion video.

  • No you ain't gettin none of this KFC. yinz got some PB&Js and Huggies. Now go outside n play in traffic, why don't yinz.

  • How about PD saying no to a kid asking for money when the "Goody Bar Man" (the ice cream truck) comes to your street. "We could buy 10 buckets of Neapolitan at Giant Eagle for what it costs for 1 of them ice cream sandwiches."

  • Touching the thermostat! my dad used to get on my case so bad every friggin time i layed a finger on that thing. It was on the wall in my bedroom growing up and my parents bedroom was down the hall. i remember this one time he comes haulin ass down the hall in his bathrobe hollerin about how he heard the heater kick on (i hadnt even touched the damn thing but i think he could feel me lookin at it)" I got it right where it needs to be, go stand outside for a minute, it wont seem so bad up there"

  • Do one on taking the bus and going to Carnegie Library (Liberry!) in Oakland, please.

  • Primanti Bro's Episode!

  • reminds me of my dad and myself , and it is so true and real it is a great show !!

  • Comment removed

  • There needs to be a Kennywood episode and a Primanti's Bro episode!

  • kids falling down scraping knees and wanting those kiddie character band-aids (Pokemon Band-aids!!!) and an ice cream or candy because they hurt themselves like some kinda reward for being clumsy.

  • greensburg represent lol

  • HAHAHA the tucked in cut-off T&A shirt had me cracking up!

  • Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Known for murderers, sexters, and Pittsburgh Dad. Proud to be a Greensburgian

  • @91baikens and im glad to be working in the great Gburg PA....

  • You guys should do an episode where pittsburgh dad is all mad because all of his sockets from his tool box and your recycling bin is empty because the kids are stealing them and making gravity bongs out of it. I got yelled at from my dad because of that once.

  • gotta make one with a fire hall wedding

  • @esetrocolrac Oh man! Your right I could only imagine!

  • Let's talk food: Jumbo, kielbasa, ketchup on scrambled eggs, chipped ham bbq, creamed chipped beef (SOS) and CITY CHICKEN! And of course every family had their favorite jello salad. We called ours "green s**t)

  • @dadsburghgirl we called ours green slime .

  • eating habits. smacking lips, heinz ketch up compared to off brand. 

  • Don't have an idea, but I remember my parents saying all this stuff and embarrassingly enough, I now yell all the same things to my kids. Thanks for the laughter!! This is great since I'm not in Pittsburgh anymore :)

  • 3 people are from Cleveland

  • Pittsburgh Dad needs a Kennywood episode!

  • @kr3367a "Yinz guys better not ride no water rides, I ain't gettin no water in my car, I jess had them seats re-uh-polstered"

  • Pittsburgh Dad and the Ice Cream Truck!!!! : )

  • we had a Snow Cone Truck during the summers!

  • You definitely need to address how serious we are about our food. How we don't say I want chipped ham, but Isalys Chipped Ham....etc

  • @Ladywoo300 With Miracle Whip on a hamburger bun!

  • Love Pittsburgh Dad so much. The script is so nuanced, too. I swear, the Slip 'n Slide episode echoed my dad verbatim (who is Derry-born, and a Mt. Pleasant and Greensburg resident).

  • yinz needa talk baht how dat salt 'll eatda paint off yer car

  • I am from the greensburg area also, specifically jeannette pa. These episodes immitate my dad perfectly. My dad yells at the dog more than anyone. My mother recently got a new puppy that completly soaked the new coach with pee. All hell broke loose with my dad. Please do an episode with PIttsburgh dad and his dog. The key phrase for the dog is always screaming her name at the top of his lungs and tellin it to " get in the haus!"

  • Haha, my wife and I love it. Our favorite word that is used by my wife's dad from the burgh is "schmuck". ahh... what a schmuck!

  • My dad used to mumble in Italian when the steelers would screw up! I miss my dad!

  • my dad yells at us when we leave out accessories for the wii. always says it will get broke. and not wearing shoes outside cuz u could get stung by a bee

  • Ah hell... why don't yinz go play in the crik or somethin.

  • @Mohr1114 yes!!

  • my dad used to yell at us for drawing on the fogged up windows in the car with our fingers. could definitely do a road trip one!

    also I thought Chris' delivery of the lines were funnier in this clip than the shows--just kind of more casual and less of a caricature?

  • I'm from Derry, a little further out than Greensburg. Down in Baltimore area now working. You guys are killin me!!!

  • Love you guys.

  • goin aht to warshington to see your aunt  n@.

  • Stupid youtube. I meant Rick Sebak and it thought I meant "send."

  • You must do a tear-stained tribute to Rick Debak

  • You should definitely do an episode about leaving the lights on in rooms, doors open, and water running. My friends parents used to say "who do i work for the power company, why is the door open were you born in a barn?" You get the idea.

  • I think you should do an episode of going on vacation and starting with packing the car. We had to pack in green and white garbage bags to get it all in the car top carrier which sat on top of Cadillac. We rolled into to Pebble Beach The Lodge looking like that. But hey, we were from Pittsburgh.

  • @Basf108 We did 6 kids and a dog in a Vista Cruiser Station Wagon! Went to the same cabin on the same lake in Northern Michigan the last 3 weeks in August every single year! That would be a really funny one for Pittsburgh Dad!

  • def Giant Iggles is great too and Kaufmans

  • ideas for episodes:

    - saving on street parking with folding chairs

    - my dad to this day doesnt let even the mailman walk on his grass

    - PRIMANTI'S

    - any mention of "S'Liberty" (east liberty)

    - Kennywood school picnic.. a must

    - being "nebby"

    -

  • its "rubbish" not trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Gotta mention getting slowed down on the Parkway by the Squirrel Hill Tunnels or the Liberty tubes.

  • Pittsburgher living in NYC now...totally hooked! An episode about going to church!?

  • my dad has always done this thing where he just talks louder than you and continue to talk if you want to try and interject. he also talks EXTREMELY loud on phones lol. especially cell phones.

  • Thanks for these! Brings back the good old days! I remember my dad yelling at us about having all the lights on in the house. He would say, "What do I look like, Penelec??"

  • Please do an interview with Curt's dad! (or even include him in an upcoming episode!

  • Talk about your kids taking to long of a shower, saving water for the fish, and then turning off the lights and saying enjoy showering in the dark.

  • Make Pittsburgh Dad School= He's yelling at his kids to get ready for school. They say they're sick and he says they're going anyway and more funny stuff like that

  • Do one going to Giant Iggle! Or dahn at the strip!

  • Pittsburgh Dad watching the Superbowl is coming, right?

  • pittsburgh dad givin directions. cause who needs street names

  • I LOVE PITTSBURGH DAD!!

  • Pittsburgh Dad: Going to Kennywood!

  • going to the strip district and eating at permanti brothers.

  • did you go to greensburg salem highschool? my dad went there!

  • you should do an episode about yinz go dahn to the field n play some kickball

    in morningside everyone goes on down to joe natoli field to watch dem kids play football

  • about traffic on the bridges and goin thru the tunnels plus the "know it all" about how they should be doing construction

  • hey yinz kids whered ja hide the clicker...tryna watch dah stillers!

  • For those of us from Pittsburgh's Northside, growing up we kept our schedule by the prison whistles (sad but true) when the whistle blew at 5...Dinner, at 8...time to go in. Not sure this could at all be implemented but its kinda funny to think about!

  • Yinz need to mention the "commode" and watching your "programs". I remember watching that Fred Compelli and company or something kids show as a child on Saturday nights.

  • I think you should post twice a week...

  • jaggerbushes

  • Yinz need to take this to the next step and make a real sitcom. Get a full cast anat and complete stories and get it on the air. I think Yinzers are funny enough and universal enough that folks from other cities would find them funny. You just need to cast a Pittsburgh mom, some little yinzers, some goofy neighbors, and maybe a Pittsburgh grampa (maybe Jim Krenn or Billy Elmer are available). This is too good for yinz to not take it up another notch, anat.

  • do one about donny iris!!!

  • aint nuttin wrong wit faygo pop...yinz kids can drink the neighbors pepsi if you want dhat name brand stuff...also there isnt a place that sells more no AD sunblock then pittsburgh

  • Yaay Greensburg!

  • At Giant Eagle knowing a blizzard is coming and the lines are ridiculous... he's only there for a couple things :)

  • got myself a lil crush on pittsburgh dad! :-D

  • Going through the tunnels in traffic my dad would always say the same thing every time so much that I hear his voice when I go through them "Why do these Jags always push their brakes through the tunnel, you think if they were scared of it they'd go faster, I swear to God if i get through this tunnel and there is no traffic....." and would mumble off 

  • Tremendous work...captures the true spirit of "typical" Pittsburgh adults through the eyes of a kid growing up. I'd love a skit that involves "Dad's Friends" and the different dynamics associated with "Butchy from dahn the bar" and the like.

  • Oh, you didn't take out the trash? Well who didn't know that?

  • Greensburg represent!

  • I can't wait for the next Pittsburgh dad

  • parents hollering for you to come in for dinner, yelling for you to get in before the street lights come on...

  • lol pittsburgh dad in line at giant eagle getting bread & milk cause there is a big snow storm coming. Com' on yinz guys that would be so freakin funny!!!

  • what would pgh dad say if he was on the picketing line?

  • Love this series... Amazing how similar it is to growing up in the Philly suburbs. Accents are different, but all my uncles sounded like this when I was growing up.

  • hey if you guys are ever in san francisco you have to do a skit, pittsburgh dad goes on vacation, at Giordano Brothers restaurant (PERMANTI BROTHERS INSPIRED) in the mission. one of the owners is from greensburg....there are a bunch of us from greensburg out here and we LOVE YOU!

  • Love Pgh dad. Brings back alot of memories from my own family lol. Always look forward to the next video!!!!!!!!!!!

  • No we ain't going to chuck e cheeses.... That damn Animal band gives me a headache just thinking about it... come to think of it where did yinz put all thiode skee ball tickahts anyways,,..

  • Nooooo more funnel cakes at the fair- Moms making pierorgies tonight

  • Pittsburgher roadrage! "Jagoff..he ain't got no business bein in this lane." My dad believes the left lane is his lane and thinks that all other cars should move out of the way even though thats that passing lane.

  • PLEASE do an episode of Pittsburgh Dad: Watching The Pittsburgh Penguins!!!

  • At least one winter episode must involve parking chairs. lol

  • Gotta work in some hoagies 'n pierogies

  • These guys are brilliant!!! Glad to see PGH Dad is blowing up!

  • I love it so much. I think the biggest battle we fought with my Dad growing up was with trampoline gate. Moving it around the yard to prevent brown spots, putting the dog on the trampoline. when we'd fall of the thing... good times... good times.

  • I was hooked at the first show ! love it...

  • My grandma used to call me and my sister "yard apes".

  • Lovin' yinz guys here in OH!! Dad needs to pick up some chip-tam at Gine-Eagle!

  • Episode idea: Pittsburgh Dad is at the Hardware store or running errands. You could get a lot of great lines and situations as he "talks" to the regulars there. As for running errands, Pittsburgh Dad in his car or pick-up. It seems as if he would drive a pick-up, and there's a style of driving in Pittsburgh that's all it's own.

  • You should make one of you guys going to a game or something

  • Jeet yet? No, jew?

  • "C'mon. We're goin' ta Primantis. No, you're not tryin the toungue sandwich. You'll take one bite and spit it auht. Then you'll whine to get something else. So you're gettin a cheese steak and that's it!"

  • It is too fuuny! We also were yelled at by our grandmother "Nanny' about sitting on the cold cement steps outside our front door. Get off those steps your going to get "worms" ? We never knew what she meant by that? I also still say buggy for shopping cart.When we would take our coupons to Thorofare or to the A and P! Our big treat was going in the car to the Original Hot Dog place on Broad Street in East Sliberty! I agree with many that this would make for a good sit-com.

  • Youth athletics: When I was young my dad wouldn't let me have a basketball hoop because the bouncing of the ball made too much of a racket. I am still bitter about this. I also remember having to drag my bike all the up to the "flat part" of the hill because our part of the street was too steep to ride on. My dad would have a SHIT FIT when I'd fly down the hill and skid to a stop using my tennis shoes (probably bought at Hills at the start of the school year.)

  • Don't touch Grandma's nut roll! You know she made that for your dad and yinz ain't old enough to appreciate the work that went into that. Have that yellow Easter Cheese, no one knows whats in that anyway! And quit eatin' all those chocolate bunnies and foil eggs! You'll throw up in the car on the way home, JEEZE!

  • Yinz Guys Need a samach? Jeweat yet? Nice Guys...

  • I grew up with my grandfather and grandmother here in Pittsburgh (Stanton Heights) And I can remember when I was 5 I asked my grandad if I could bring all my toys outside and he said " No, I don't want the front of my house looking like a Toys R Us Yard Sale, for crying out loud"

    If you want to use that in your series, Im allowing you to do so.

  • I live in the eastern part of the state now and my mom recently cancelled her trip to visit (from Pittsburgh) because of the potential for snow "in the mountains". Could be a funny premise for a show. Also second the ideas below about the Kennywood school picnic, 'be home by the time the street lights come on', messing with the thermostat, and wasting water in the shower.

  • Please do an episode on someone touching the thermostat in the house. Pittsburgh Dads have a 6th sense about someone touching their thermostat.

  • @HarvVAG OMG - YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE thermostat spidey sense! I am sitting here cracking up thinking about this, and how I would literally sit on the heater in the mornings before school to warm up! Sometimes when my dad wasn't home my mom would let me turn up the heat a couple of degrees and it was our secret. Now that I am a grown adult, I take indulgent pleasure on turning the thermostat up. Forget shoes or make-up - winter heat is my splurge!

  • As teenage girls we would sit on the driveway at my friend's house on Friday nights to see what guys might drive down the street. Her dad would come out and yell at us "You girls get off that cement!  You're gonna get piles!" We would say "Piles! What the heck are piles?"

  • Makes me miss home. Live in Atlanta now. We used to get yelled at for spilling things in the car. And ALWAYS be in the yard by the time the street lights come on!

  • Let's go to Kennywood!!  The annual school picnic would be classic. Love your work guys!!

  • I love yinz! Thank you thank you thank you! I miss Pittsburgh sooooo much!
