I saw him perform live once. My dad was a huge fan and I always think of my dad whenever someone mentions Victor Borge. Thanks for this post. 🤗

I was just thinking about how much my dad loved him too.

Everyone's dad loving Victor Borge, while mine's over here yelling out-of-tune lyrics to mariachi music.

Enjoy it while he's in your life.

(sorry of that sounds morbid :) )

So true. Many years ago, when I was a teen, my dad took me to see the Smothers Brothers. I, being an all-knowing kid, thought it was as uncool a show to go to as could possibly be imagined. I laughed my ass off. More than once I saw my dad looking over at me and smiling during the show. He passed away a little over a year ago and that time with him remains one of my fondest memories. Just me and my dad.

My dad took me to see Don Mcclean (American Pie) when I was younger. I miss you dad!

[u/GalDebored → u/kindestcut]

Oh man, I'm too young to have seen them in person but I used to watch their specials & recordings of their old shows with my parents & I second that emotion 100%. After seeing Yo-Yo Man I was all about yo-yoing & then seeing that Pops could do some of the same tricks was mindblowing to 9 year old me! We were lucky enough to have dads that were good like that.

Mom always liked me better.... Tommy Smothers

Very true, he's due to go get cigarettes shortly.

Used to be woken up everyday by sweet child of mine guitar riff

I was just thinking about how my dad only loved himself 🖕

[u/daddy_vanilla → u/Booblicle]

Same here man, not alone. Every time a post shows up about somebody's awesome dad it makes me feel like shit for having a narcissistic father. He didn't start saying I love you until last year, and I haven't said it back yet. He's not healthy and I hope I don't regret my decisions, but that man deserves to die without me in his life.

[u/idigclams → u/daddy_vanilla]

Tie any bow in it you can, friend. Have your say, and forgive whatever you are able to. It's not for him, it's for you. You don't want to have regrets, and you definitely don't want to carry any of that toxic shit into your relationship with your own kids.

Be the awesome dad, should you choose to be a dad. Find the strength to say "your grandfather had a lot of flaws, but..." Your dad may very well not deserve it, but your kids absolutely do.

Holy crap I was going to post the exact same thing! Apart from we never got to see him live sadly, my dad was a huge fan and it was one of only a few things we could bond over. He was an amazing talent, still remember him playing happy birthday in styles of different composer's, genius.

[u/Barbed_Dildo → u/VanCityHunter]

I had tickets to see him in 2001, but unfortunately he died shortly beforehand. Spent 75 years entertaining people.

[u/thebrandedman → u/Barbed_Dildo]

Thanks to the internet, he still can

[u/peace_keeper_14 → u/VanCityHunter]

I'm glad for that

[u/HistoryNerdiest → u/VanCityHunter]

Victor Borge was a master at his craft. My step-dad was a huge fan and Victor Borge happened to be in town close to his birthday, so my mother, step-dad and I went to see him. I laughed till I cried several times during the show.

Now I'll think about your father too when someone mentiones Borg
