In the world of parenting, not all moms and dads are created equal, and Matt Thompson has a comedic way of pointing that out. Starting his career at Buzzfeed with a series called Whine About It, where he would sip on a drink and vent about life’s annoyances, Thompson has become a relatable voice for many. Imagine getting paid to rant while tipsy—he’s turned that into an art form and is now the self-proclaimed ruler of all things sarcastic.
Thompson has since branched out with his own podcast, Unhappy Hour, where his signature style continues with segments called To Be Honest. This week, he’s focusing his sharp wit on parents who leave a lot to be desired. A word of caution: don’t consume snacks while watching; you might just choke from laughter or accidentally spit your drink everywhere.
“Not every child can be extraordinary. For every prodigy out there, there are at least 50 kids who’ve managed to get a peanut M&M stuck in some unusual place,” he quips. Truth bomb, right?
Then he takes aim at parents who refuse to say “NO” to their kids. “You’re out here crafting mini-despots because you can’t deny your little gremlin another scoop of ice cream. Fantastic. Just fantastic.” Of course, without children of his own, he might not grasp the sheer chaos that follows when your pint-sized tyrant decides to throw a fit.
He further critiques overly enthusiastic sports parents, stating, “No one cares about kids’ sports. It’s akin to watching pigeons fight over breadcrumbs.” It’s an analogy that perfectly captures the absurdity of overly invested adults watching children run around a field.
Keep those rants coming, Matt; we’re all here for it!
In summary, Matt Thompson’s humorous take on parenting shines a light on the not-so-great aspects of parenthood.
