What Happens

We watch a commercial about what to do if your father abandons you. You could buy a “Dad doll.” It’s like your dad never left! It also works for dead Dads! We watch old videotape footage of family fights. Aren’t dads great?

We pull out and see a man calling to order a dad. It looks nothing like the one in the commercial, but that doesn’t make it any less creepy.  

Commentary

People actually watched the Transporter movies? Who knew?

The initial commercial is a bit much, but once we get to the man and his father doll, it gets much more interesting. We get the commercial, the story with the young man, and then it all gets a little meta as we continue on with the filmmaker. 

It’s very weird. Nice!
