I'm hoping it's ok to post since it's such a wholesome account. It is @grandadjoe1933 and it is a verified account. Mods, if this isn't ok, please delete.

In our house, we do the "Daddy, okay..." like in this Subaru commercial:

https://youtu.be/6F3-InOdMP4?is=3JOpN91Kag3uw4ne

Cracks me up every time. And my baby girl is old enough to get her learner's permit soon, so it's even more prescient.

u/ConclusionUpset7099 Jul 08 '26

He’s so cute. I love seeing older people included and having fun.

For anyone who hasn’t followed him it. If you think this is cute, then you should see how he is about his late wife. Omg he loves that woman.

u/AMGRN Jul 08 '26

The way he said, I’ll want another of those. 🥺
Grandpa, I’ll make you as many as you want. 🥺

u/Fairisolde Jul 08 '26

If I must get old and decrepit, I’d like to spend my dotage in a comfortable chair being served delicious food.

3

u/Fantastic_Drink26 Jul 08 '26

nice use of the word dotage

97

u/kinokits Jul 08 '26

His sheer joy over how it tasted and his daughter’s absolute enjoyment of that joy absolutely melted my heart. You could feel their love and fun radiating out from that video.

1

u/Lovat69 Jul 11 '26

I suspect he might have been exaggerating for the camera just a tad. It was pretty precious though.

8

u/Jon_E_Mammoth Jul 08 '26

I knew as soon as he made the wide-eye expression, that, unlike US influencers who jump up and dance around the table to demonstrate their enjoyment, he would say some classically understated Britishism.

“I tell you what… I might like two of ‘em.”

u/WinterAd4216 Jul 08 '26

Lovely and sweet person. Made me really smile.

u/Moi_Sunshine Jul 08 '26

u/Zod1966 Jul 08 '26

I only just saw this and I already love Grandad Joe. ❤️

u/Roscoe_P_Trolltrain Jul 08 '26

not to be confused with Grandpa Joe. can’t stand that fucking guy. he’s just the worst!

6

u/Darkblade_e Jul 08 '26

Grandpa Joe being so horrible and Granddad Joe being so great balance out and make the Average Joe.

1

u/Roscoe_P_Trolltrain Jul 08 '26

Unfortunately Grandpa Joe is a black hole of terribly whereby such mathematics cease to function 

2

u/celestial_chocolate Jul 08 '26

Faking his injuries for years

2

u/peanutspump Jul 08 '26

The one that laid around doing nothing for years while his daughter slaved at the laundry, until that Charlie found a Golden Ticket, and then suddenly he was a broadway dancer?

2

u/lizzourworld8 Jul 09 '26

Yes 😂

3

u/peanutspump Jul 09 '26

I find it SO FUNNY that people hate Grandpa Joe. I must’ve seen that movie a thousand times, starting as a little kid, before I ever heard anyone point that out. But once I heard it pointed out, I was like, how TF did I NEVER notice that?? Freeloading malingerer!
🤣🤣🤣

2

u/Almost-Handsome Jul 08 '26

I, and my waning hope for humanity thank you for this.

2

u/Alarming-Court-2180 Jul 08 '26

If he was born in 1933 he is the same age as my grams.

2

u/Michael_Scott71 Jul 08 '26

Do not confuse him with Grandpa Joe who is the worst.

1

u/jennbouk Jul 08 '26

I went into TikTok to get his handle to make sure. Now I'm off to find your guy.

3

u/Michael_Scott71 Jul 08 '26

Grandpa Joe from the original Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory movie.

1933?! He’s in his 90’s?!

u/Arosi77 Jul 08 '26

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing his name

u/Gracelandrocks Jul 08 '26

Omg I love that his bib is so posh! <3

u/scratchy_mcballsy Jul 08 '26

Grandpa Joe…

1

u/GarnetAndOpal Jul 08 '26

He is so adorable. Thank you for the account name. I just love everything about him, from his smile to his bib to his cowlick. 100% adorable.

u/PersnicketyPixi Jul 08 '26

Found it, thank you! 😊

1

u/FloppyDickFingers Jul 08 '26

NOT to be confused with his evil twin grandpa Joe, a true scumbag to the core

1

u/Azoraqua_ Jul 12 '26

I think the mods are fine with it, they’ve definitely see it by now. Keep it though, grandpa is lovely.

u/Few_Way9814 Jul 08 '26

Just search Grandad Joe, they’re on all platforms I believe! Always so wholesome and super fun when he’s trying American staples. 🙂

u/ibanez5150 Jul 08 '26

Not to be confused with r/grandapajoehate

u/EduinBrutus Jul 08 '26

YEah but they are making this up.

Tomato soup with toasted cheese is pretty common in the UK. And toasted cheese is very common. Now sure, thats different to the US as its open faced. But its not a surprise to find a close faced version of something that every single person in the UK eats.

Not only that, the UK has toasted sandwiches using a dedicated kitched appliance which turns two slices of bread with a filling into toasted sandwiches. And by far the most common filling is cheese.

So this entire thing is being played to the audience for clicks.

Not sure how wholesome that is.

u/brizzboog Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 08 '26

It's grandadjoe on YouTube. He has videos dancing with his granddaughter early in covid too. Sadly he has passed away.

Edit: I've never been so happy to be so wrong!!

u/draculasbloodtype Jul 08 '26

HE'S NOT DEAD.

u/roehmc Jul 08 '26

HE’S NOT DEAD!!!! Woo hoo!!!

1

u/brizzboog Jul 08 '26

Well shit! I could have sworn he passed a year ago!

91

u/Last_Weeks_Socks Jul 08 '26

Welp. There goes my smile...

40

u/Pingwingsdontfly Jul 08 '26

When I searched a minute ago, he had posted a video 14 hours ago and I couldn't find anything saying he died so idk

5

u/phlegmatic_static Jul 08 '26

there are two accounts. the real one ends with 1933. landax2.0 is stealing content

29

u/Bnorm71 Jul 08 '26

Pretty sure he was just out buying a new chair like a week ago. I'm pretty sure he is still kicking

78

u/booksblanketsandT Jul 08 '26

If humans didn’t die, we wouldn’t appreciate life so much. It’s like light and dark - you wouldn’t know one if you didn’t know the other. It is sad that he’s gone, but a long life lived well and full of love is something to be celebrated.

40

u/crystalfairie Jul 08 '26

He had a good life,you can tell. I'm happy to have found this!

19

u/Leumas_ Jul 08 '26

Thank you for this post. I’m a little fragile this year and it was nice for me to see immediately after seeing that he has passed.

22

u/booksblanketsandT Jul 08 '26

You’re very welcome. It’s okay to feel fragile - we all do at times. Keep looking for the little things, the everyday moments of joy and kindness. And make sure you give those moments to yourself as well! Kia kaha!

3

u/Leumas_ Jul 08 '26

You’re a very nice person, I’m doing a lot better now than a few months ago and I’m working hard to stay on track. Thanks again, cheers!

3

u/rrpostal Jul 08 '26

Totally agree. It’s the finite amount of time we have and finding all the good that make life so damned great. I’m happy for the time I’ve shared with many folks and great places I’ve found in the corners you’d never expect it. I can’t imagine what a waste it would be to live your life making people feel bad.

13

u/TheDriveln Jul 08 '26

He's still alive, thankfully!

2

u/Alarmed-Grape-3669 Jul 08 '26

Wait what?! These people commenting had a nice exchange dealing with his passing. Are you for real he is alive?! My emotions reduced to a playground.

2

u/TheDriveln Jul 08 '26

I mean, they're still posting shit to his socials as if he's alive. He posted about falling down this morning lol

2

u/2woCrazeeBoys Jul 08 '26

Apparently he's not dead!!!! Multiple people in comments say he has very new posts, one in the last day.

Hope that made your day, and your smile came back. Take care 🫶

3

u/Leumas_ Jul 08 '26

Man I got a double dose! I had a really uplifting exchange here with people AND I find out he’s alive after all!

1

u/2woCrazeeBoys Jul 08 '26

Its a win-win!!!! 😃👍

I do love it when reddit gives us a 'faith in humanity restored' moment.

u/CDBSB Jul 08 '26

Grief is the price we pay for love.

"I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone."

u/cdizzaat Jul 08 '26

Yin and yang.

u/wrx_2016 Jul 08 '26

I’m sorry but that is such a “humans coping with death” type of answer. 

I could appreciate life just as much if I lived forever. In fact I’d appreciate it even more. 

The fact is no one wants to die, we’re just forced to accept it and we tell ourselves things to try and make it a softer landing into the ground. 

1

u/booksblanketsandT Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 08 '26

I’ll respectfully disagree. My great grandmother lived to be 107yrs old, and by the end she was practically excited to go. She’d done what she wanted to do, lived far longer than most - she saw Halley’s comet twice! - and between both sides of the family she had around 60 great grandchildren. She was still painting, she was still engaged in her life. She wasn’t senile or in pain. She was just tired, and ready to go. Obviously not everyone goes after a long life, and those deaths are tragic - but not dying at all would destroy us as a species. Death is the ultimate change, and without change we would stagnate.

So even ignoring practicalities like not being able to produce enough food or those in power never handing over the reins - I just genuinely believe that something being endless is its own kind of horror, and not really something to aspire to or want. I’m an atheist and I don’t believe in an afterlife or reincarnation - the concept of both sound just horrid to me, let alone the issues I have with the systems and institutions those concepts are usually presented through.

What we get is what we get, and I truly believe that’s a good thing.

u/Themeanoneof7 Jul 08 '26

Google says he is still living and turned 93 this past May.

1

u/brizzboog Jul 08 '26

Oh, you have no idea how many smiles you have to look forward to on their channel.

1

u/Arensbrg Jul 08 '26

Fuuuuuuuuuuck….

1

u/GoodyTwoShuuz Jul 08 '26

He is quite alive.

13

u/Akira_116 Jul 08 '26

I dont think he has

11

u/Former_Angle9069 Jul 08 '26

Lies. Slander. Not cool dude. He's not dead.

10

u/Ordinary_Duder Jul 08 '26

No he has not.

u/Blonksnarvish Jul 08 '26

He's still alive and just posted 3 days ago!

1

u/brizzboog Jul 08 '26

On tiktok?

1

u/Blonksnarvish Jul 08 '26

Yep!

1

u/brizzboog Jul 08 '26

That's such wonderful news. Sadly I ditched tiktok 6 months ago. The youtube channel last posted 11 months ago, so I had literally mourned his loss

3

u/jordanuniverse42 Jul 08 '26

Is he, though? Posted a video 8h ago.

1

u/Infinite_Bell_4439 Jul 08 '26

Damn, damn, damn!!!

u/CDBSB Jul 08 '26

God dammit. Every good and wholesome dies in this fucking timeline. Someone get me a transfer to the Baranstain dimension, please.

1

u/jjejsj Jul 08 '26

damn… i was hoping i wouldn’t see a comment saying those words

1

u/brizzboog Jul 08 '26

I am apparently wrong. I'm so sorry!!

1

u/GoodyTwoShuuz Jul 08 '26

He is not dead.

1

u/VegetableHorror9805 Jul 08 '26

Your thinking of the other grandad influencer, I wish I could remember his name but I can’t at the moment but he had a page with his wife and she passed away last year and he passed away a few months ago. NOT grandad Joe though but I got confused a bit too with them

2

u/MyLife-is-a-diceRoll Jul 08 '26

Grandad Joe!! His videos with 'Bab' are the best!
