 What is shake in booktube and my name is cam and welcome back to another video first of all congratulations if you willingly clipped onto this video because I get it's it's kind of weird of all the things to be ranking within the bookish world why dads or why indeed my good friends as you may have noticed I am currently in possession of a luscious moustache style choice no although I'm flattered you think I could pull that off I'm growing a moustache for reason I do move ember is to raise money for suicide prevention in memory of my father and butter bang butter boom we come full circle here we are dads book dads even so book dads it was actually not that easy to find a good list of like far even father figures within books but I've got seven here and they range from really good to really bad and maybe somewhere in between but that's the joy of tier list I'm going to tell you what I think what categories I think these dads fit into going from s being the best and d being the worst and then in the comments below you can tell me whether you agree or disagree or whatever or better yet how about this in the comments below I want you to leave me your very best dad joke to get us started I'll tell you my favorite dad joke it's pretty it's pretty good if you put your child down to go to sleep and they don't if they stay up all night screaming and basically just refusing to go to sleep are they technically resisting arrest so bookish dad tier list I want to start with the very first dad that came to my mind when I thought of bookish dads and that is mr weasley mr arthur weasley I could have said serious as well as a father figure but I only wanted to put one harry potter dad in here and really you you can't go past arthur weasley when you're talking about bookish dads it's difficult to think of one single negative trait about the guy him and his family live within a you know magical wizarding world where wealth is pretty common considering the ability to do magic and yet he and his family still find themselves in poverty as far as wizarding goes and yet despite it being a disappointing experience at times for all of their children and there's a lot of children but did we ever talk about the fact that mr weasley and mrs weasley must have been banging on the reg mr weasley must have been born to be a dad or he just straight up has never heard of birth control in his life anyway at times all of their children are disenfranchised being in the company of middle class or extremely wealthy wizards but mr weasley and mrs weasley have always had nothing but an optimistic out view on it they have the yeah it sounds corny but they have the view of well at least we have each other I think that's pretty cool I guess one negative I could give mr weasley although this is a part of his charm is that he's he's a little bit irresponsible like let's be real his son and his son's friend took his magical car for a joy ride over the skies of a muggle city potentially exposing the entire wizarding world and he thought it was kind of cool I mean we all did but he's a dad so he probably shouldn't have anyway I'm gonna give mr weasley an a a for awesome and like how cool is it that he also became a father figure to harry although harry had you know maybe a few father figures to be honest but he welcomed this child that had a target on his back into his family with loving arms without any hesitation whatsoever I think mr weasley is part of the reason that harry potter and like especially for me growing up it was kind of a lesson I had to take with myself a lot of the times as well as that family doesn't just have to be blood it can be about people who are compassionate the you and people that you choose to be compassionate to anyway following up directly from that where do you think we should put jack torrance from the shining I mean gotta give jack credit right he's persistent desperate to be in the company of his family to the point where he will literally try to chop his way through a door with an axe just to be in the company of his family I mean even before the hotel kind of took over me it was still a little bit of an asshole I'm just not sure if I should rank him as a dad either before or after the events of the shining personally I think after because like that's kind of his whole story is the shining again yeah like ooh he tried to murder his family with an axe like get over it first of all okay did he not get what he deserved he ended up frozen up to his neck in a in a maze the poor guy got tricked there was a bunch of ghosts you know a prank in him he they were pranking him maybe they wouldn't have even let him go through with entirely maybe he would have been standing over his wife at the axe about the swing it down on her and the ghosts would come out and be like oh shit bro damn it was it was a prank man chill jack torrance gets a c I'm gonna keep a little bit of faith there for jack I have I have faith so recently I rewatched twilight yeah I know twilight you know what's funny about those movies like don't get me wrong the acting is horrible there's so many points where the dialogue is just so jilted and like the acting wasn't very good the story itself is obviously quite dumb you know it romanticizes the idea of super unhealthy and extreme codependency sure but they're kind of fun to rewatch every now and then right does anyone else feel like like it's weird like I know they're bad movies objectively but they're still kind of fun there's a lot of brilliant cinematography in there but anyway I watched twilight so we're talking about charlie swan let me say something about charlie swan charlie is he's a mood all right bring him in we have all been a charlie swan at a lot of points in our lives I think we can all agree on that he just seems perpetually exhausted with life not just exhausted but also confused charlie's like the only one in all of the twilight movies who kind of he doesn't really know everything that's going on obviously but he sees things like a strange almost albino boy dating his daughter and acting all weird and he's kind of like what the fuck is going on here he's the only one that seems to really question the weird shit that happens in those movies but that's not what makes him a great dad I say charlie swan is a great dad because he pulls off something that a lot of dads even in real life a lot of good dads struggle with but it is something very important if I ever become a dad I know it's something I would struggle with as well and that is although you may not approve of your child's actions and although you may try to steer them on the right path he was never not supportive of bella we know he didn't like edward and we know he tried to get bella to hang around more with jacob because they were a family that he trusted a lot more but he never tried to give her any ultimatums and say like you can't see that boy anymore or i'll disown you or anything like that he was always hesitant and cautious but I feel he was also pretty supportive almost all the time my personal view on it is that bella swan was a fucking terrible daughter and terrible to her father but charlie was always good to her I think charlie swan is super underrated so I'm gonna put him up next to artha weasley I think I think they're both awesome dads mr wormwood from matilda I would be quite torn on this because I freaking love denny devido and I love denny devido in this movie as mr wormwood but because he's so brilliant in it I fucking hate the character and we're meant to we're meant to have an extreme dislike for this character because although mr wormwood is in a children's movie Matilda is a children's movie and I think it's entirely appropriate for children to watch as an adult if you go back and watch it through an adult's lens you see that mr wormwood and mrs wormwood are fucking horrible parents I would honestly say worse than the dursleys in harry potter they're extremely neglectful they put um Matilda through an extreme amount of like emotional abuse they let their other kid like bully the hell out of her the real parents that exist like mr wormwood are the parents that cause the type of damage to kids that they carry with them their whole lives like the whole I'm big you're small I'm smart you're dumb I'm right you're wrong and there's nothing you can do about it constantly drilling into a kid's head that they're dumb and they don't know what they're talking about that's the type of shit that does real damage in the long run so yeah I'm going to give mr wormwood a d for dickhead d for dipshit d for the doodle brain d for demonetized what do we think about humbert from lowlita next up denny swift from the art of racing in the rain the art of racing in the rain is a fictional story told through the eyes of a dog but a really smart dog it's basically like a human really human perspective told through the eyes of a dog it starts off a lot like other dog themed books where you know you get adopted by someone and the dog you know goes through their life with this person as they change and get a family and all that it's kind of the same although it doesn't just hinge on the dog dying as being the sad thing of the story there's a whole lot of other intricacies and the art of racing in the rain is actually like one of my favorite books of all time it's absolutely fantastic and there was a movie that came out recently but anyway denny swift he's a racecar driver and i'm not going to give any spoilers but denny and his dog enzo they you know their best friends and eventually enzo and denny they meet who is going to be denny's future wife and denny and his wife have a child and then from that point onward some of the most depressingly just horrible stuff that could possibly happen to a family happens despite going through some of just the roughest trials i could ever imagine a father going through he manages to kind of keep the faith i missed the whole way through until a certain point where it feels like he's going to crumble to the depression and the misery and obviously that's the point where enzo helps him through i don't want to give any spoilers but basically what i'm saying is denny swift goes through just some of the worst stuff a father could go through and manages to come out the other side without completely losing himself that's kind of where the title comes from the art of racing and the reigning i think denny deserves an s last but not least we have mr tywin lannister like he's a horrible person right awesome character great in the show as well he's a villain sure but is he a bad father yes i mean he he builds a legacy for his family sure he also he also demonizes his own son for being born differently and blames his own son for the death of his wife even though he's a smart enough guy to know that that's not rational and i mean there's also the tiny little thing of him letting two of his kids bang each other the b tier is looking quite empty there okay all right i'll put him in c okay then there's the compromise c for i guess a good way to think about it is would you want that person as a father and i would rather have a tractor run over my balls than have tywin lannister as a dad well there you go there's pretty much all the there's all the bookish dads i could find let me know what you think of my rankings in the comments below i mean i know i'm objectively correct 100 percent without any room for error whatsoever but maybe you have a different opinion a different dumb opinion do me a favor go tell your dad you love him or your father figure even if your mom happens to be your father figure if your mom's a you know single mom that's raised you on her own tell her you love her just just do it you never know and if you are a dad don't let your kids bang each other catch you
