TMZ tries to get the Damn Daniel kids to say something gross, but they're way too savvy.

Graciously posing for photos in their natural habitat outside a mall in California, TMZ accosted the Damn Daniel boyz and tried to get them to talk about the quality of their sex lives following their viral explosion.

"So were the girls just going crazy?" asks the cameraman. "It was pretty enjoyable, high school," responds Daniel of the White Vans. "I had fun at prom." Impressively, neither kid takes the TMZ man's bait to talk about, specifically, if prom night had the "end" that they desired. The cameraman is making some pretty creepy assertions considering the kids have to remind him they're barely even upperclassmen.

The cameraman insists: "You guys are studs!" The boys refrain: "Yeah." They then oblige the man with a "TMZ version of Damn Daniel." It is the same as all the other versions.

These kids are ridiculously well-adjusted to fame, which is kind of too bad because they'll be completely anonymous by this time next year. Or maybe not! They are, undoubtedly, prodigies on the level of Mozart.


Amy Schumer tried to be Anna Wintour for a day, and it went as terribly as you'd expect.

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and comedian Amy Schumer did a cute li'l video to promote Schumer's cover story in the fashion mag's July issue, and it's perfectly enjoyable and funny (Schumer wrote the video herself):

Basically, Schumer struggles at doing Wintour's job (which honestly looks like the easiest thing in the world), and Wintour kills at doing stand-up. However, from the perspective of the New York comedians who write for this website, is ridiculous. So please allow the following rant:

Ugh, Anna, there is no f*cking way that saying "Wintour is coming" would kill at the Cellar. Also you're not really supposed to drop the mic. Come on, that damages it for the next person. "First date, last date?" You're a f*cking hack and you couldn't get booked in the basement of The Creek and the Cave for godssakes.

OK, done. Thanks.

It turns out the Orlando shooter was posting on Facebook during the massacre.

According to a letter written by Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson, Orlando shooter Omar Mateen posted to Facebook during the massacre, and he also checked the social media site to see if the attack was trending. Johnson revealed this information in a letter to Mark Zuckerberg, which he also made public. The letter asks for Facebook's cooperation in investigating the attack.

Apparently, in addition to posting things such as "America and Russia stop bombing the Islamic state..I pledge my alliance to abu bakr al Baghadadi..may Allah accept me," Mateen also used Facebook to search for the terms "Pulse Orlando" and "Shooting" while he was still inside the club. As a reminder, there were approximately three hours between when the shooting began and when Mateen was finally killed by officers.

The letter also notes that Mateen's last status posted to Facebook was "In the next few days you will see attacks from the Islamic state in the usa."

You can see the full letter text, as uploaded to Scribd by Mashable, below. And if you need a reminder that there is good in the world, read about the plane of strangers that took the time to comfort the grandmother of one of the Orlando victims.

Calvin Harris graciously weighs in on Taylor Swift dating Tom Hiddleston, after being hounded by paparazzi.

Because humanity likes to rub salt in people's wounds, people want to know how Scottish DJ Calvin Harris is taking the news of the birth of "Hiddleswift"—the Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston romance that's taken the Internet by storm (even more than her romances usually do). The best way to make someone suffer even more during a horrible public split is to have paparazzi ambush them at their homes or places of work, and ask them questions about exactly how much their hearts hurt now that their ex is with someone new.

So how is Calvin-real-name-Adam doing? Shitty, probably. But as TMZ reports, his first official statement on Hiddleswift is "It's all good, she's doing her thing, she's doing her thing dude." Not audible: "Please dear god leave me alone to get on with my life."

On Wednesday, Harris deleted his nice tweet about the breakup, and then unfollowed Swift on Twitter. Which is a good thing, honestly! Time to move on, get over it. Or at least act like you are, and then go Google "Hiddleswift" and cry while listening to The Smiths.

Disturbing fan video shows Meat Loaf collapsing onstage in the middle of a performance.

On Thursday night, Meat Loaf, 68, collapsed during a performance at the Jubilee Auditorium in Edmonton, Canada. The musician, born Michael Lee Aday, was rushed to the hospital and is now in reportedly in stable condition. The footage is fairly upsetting and disturbing to watch.

Omg he's unconscious! !!! #MeatLoaf #omg #yeg #edmonton #ishedead ?

Posted by DJ Rebellion on Thursday, June 16, 2016

He'd been scheduled to play the Jubilee on Monday, but according to his Facebook page, he had to cancel the show "due to illness."

CBC News spoke to concertgoer Jamie Carriere, who said that Meat Loaf was performing his Grammy-winning song I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) as an encore when he collapsed and just didn't get up. "He fell…he just fell. You could hear the microphone just hit the ground."

Another concert attendee, Mikey McBryan, told AP that Meat Loaf was visibly struggling during the performance. "It was him forgetting words, he wasn’t on cue, but it was forgivable. We’re all loving it and going crazy, and then it just took a turn for the worst." After his collapse, the fans were asked to vacate the stadium.

Last year, Meatloaf apparently told USA Today that he expects to die onstage. "If it's too morbid to leave me lying there, then they'll take me off, and the band will play When the Saints Go Marching In. Then the piano player will play Take Me Out to the Ballgame, and the band will get everybody to stand up and sing. Even if I'm dead, the show's going on."

Finally, we know exactly how soft Kim Kardashian's boob is.

Most of us will never have the privilege of petting Kim Kardashian's breasts—unless, omg, is that what subscribing to her app gets you?—but now, we can all vicariously experience their exquisite softness. Caity Weaver, who interviewed Kim for GQ this month, was asked by the reality TV queen if she wanted to cop a feel. Weaver wisely replied, "Yup."

Here's how Weaver describes Kardashian's luxurious chest (as only Weaver can):

Kim Kardashian West's boob is so soft it makes velvet feel like splinters. It makes the fur on a baby bunny's tummy feel like a plastic bag of syringes. It is so soft that touching it is like scooping up the delicate pink dawn sky with your fingers, or holding a ball of lotion in your hand. It is softer than the thick, warm, all-enveloping smoothness that caresses a globule of wax as it travels up a lava lamp.

So there you have it. You have never touched anything as soft as Kim Kardashian's breast, and unless you're North, Saint, Kanye, or a lucky reporter, you never will.

Miss Great Britain stripped of her crown for being a woman who has sex.

Miss Great Britain is being decrowned for being deflowered. Zara Holland, the beauty queen who received the Miss Great Britain title, has been stripped of her crown after she was shown having sex on the reality show Love Island.

The show Love Island is exactly what it sounds like: 12 single people are placed on an island and inevitably start mating. 20-year-old Holland had consensual sex with a fellow contestant.

The Miss Great Britain organization said since Holland had engaged in consensual P-in-V action, they could no longer promote her as a "positive role model" who embodies the values of the UK pageant system.

“We wholly understand that everyone makes mistakes, but Zara, as an ambassador for Miss Great Britain, simply did not uphold the responsibility expected of the title," the statement concludes.

People are pissed and are accusing the Miss Great Britain organization of sexism. The host of Love Island fired off at the organization itself.

And Holland's former constituents jumped to her defense.

In a follow-up statement that is hilariously straightforward, the Miss Great Britain organization confirmed their position on sex.


People shared the most cringeworthy moments they ever lived through. It's pretty rough.

A group of Redditors were recently taking a stroll down awful memory lane, reminiscing about the things they'd done in their lives that they considered the most "cringeworthy." Everyone's done stupid things, and sometimes sharing them on the internet can make you feel better. Haha, no it can't, but at least there's always someone who's done something worse than you. Get ready for a lot of sympathetic grimacing.

1. Actually, it sounds like Ranchochupacabrash did high school right.

For about a month my freshman year of high school, I wore mirrored glasses and turtlenecks and told people I was a vampire.

2. Rashuns shows what happens when THE PREDICTIONS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE CRUSH.

When I was 13 I made a fake MSN account pretending to be one of those conversation bots. I added my crush and pretended to "predict his future", which of course heavily hinted at eventually marrying me.

3. AidentheHuman found a way to make people laugh, which is almost as good as making people like you.

In the after school care i was in, end of elementary school, I was desperate for friends. And I always made a group of kids laugh when I humped the gym wall (or anything). So I did. A lot. Not realizing what exactly I was doing.

It didn't exactly earn me any friends, but when I invited them to my 11th birthday, their mom's made them come. So... There is that.

4. Kcolonna968 thought he could do mixtapes one better. He was very wrong.

When I was in middle school, I had it in my head I had the whole dark and mysterious vibe locked down. Well I was really into the cute girl in my english class so I had the bright idea to write her a song.. sadly I wasn't lyrically gifted. So the next obvious course of action was to find a song I assumed no one else knew because I was the one to discover it: Point of Authority by Linkin Park. So I grabbed my old walkman, plugged in my original xBox mic (used for some karaoke game) and just sang along to the song while listening to it on my iPod. The tape didn't have any of the music to it, just my awkward pitchy prepubescent voice trying to be extra dark and mysterious. I even listened back to it and was 100% convinced it was the best thing since sliced bread.
I gave it to her the next day in class, and sold it so confidently that she asked the teacher if she could play it for the class. Cue me red faced and itchy from head to toe with embarrassment from all the laughter.

tl;dr just stick to mix tapes, kids.

5. CensorVictim was the victim of a Freudian slip.

I walked into the break room at work once, and an attractive female coworker was in there. We all work at desks all day, so I tried to say something about stretching your legs, but instead out came "so, came back here to spread your legs, eh?"

6. Dinizio had a little laundry mishap. At least they were clean (hopefully).

Had a presentation in college. I dressed fairly nice for it and had a white handkerchief in my back pocket. Got a little sweaty so I pulled the handkerchief out of my back pocket.. It was a pair of white underwear.

7. Brend0ge has had quite a few run-ins with the Cringe Fairy.

In job interview I shook the employer's hand and said "Hi, how are you?" (exercising my assertive social skills) which would've been fine except that I said it at the END of the fucking interview.

In high school I made a (not even remotely funny) joke to my mate about how his dad "probably fucks him in the ass every day". He didn't say anything and just walked off, while everyone stared daggers at me. I'm all "what guys?". His dad had died two days prior.

Oh god make the cringe stop these memories were buried for a reason

Bonus cringe: I went to visit my mum when I was like 19, she gave me a girl's phone number and set me up on a blind date (you could stop reading this here, because that's bad enough). Since I was such a cool guy I texted my friend something like "I'm in this shit-hole town about to go on a date with some random" and of course I sent it directly to the girl, so when I met her I had to lead with "yeah, sorry, just ignore that text.. OK hi nice to meet you..". There was no second date.

Oh, and hell no I did not get the job.

8. Watrudoininmaswamp learned what not to do in a girl's bedroom at a very early age.

When I was younger, around 5-6 I think, my family and I went to visit a friend. He had a daughter and a son and I was quite close friends with the girl. We went up to play in her bedroom and for some reason, and I can't for the life of me remember why I thought it would be a good idea, decided to whip out my one inch wonder and proceed to wipe it on the walls of her bedroom whilst laughing. She excused herself whilst I was doing so and about a minute later I hear my parents shouting from downstairs. That was the most awkward car ride home EVER and I still cringe everytime I think of it.

9. Okay, but Zelon64 probably didn't cause that. Probably.

I once renamed the Pokemon in my party to Will You Go Out With Me and handed my DS to my would be GF. She came out as being gay right there.

10. Ishicourt learned about sexism the hard way.

I, too, was pretty late to the puberty game, and for some reason I was very slow to acknowledge the physical differences between boys and girls. I had glasses, but I never wore them, so maybe that contributed to it.

Anyways, I remember being in 2nd grade, sitting in class, and I felt uncomfortably hot. It occurred to me that boys always take their shirts off, so I saw no logical reason not to do the same. So while the teacher is talking, I casually strip off my shirt, put it in my backpack, and then sit back to listen to the lecture. The classroom became dead silent, and the teacher awkwardly told me to put my shirt back on. He was careful to not make eye contact, which I thought was weird at the time. Instead of recognizing that I had done something weird, I became very angry (I was a very stubborn, headstrong child, and I often look back and pity my parents). I told him I would not put my shirt back on, and I crossed my arms and pouted. He sent me to the principal's office, which infuriated me because it seemed so unjust. Thankfully, it was somewhat chilly outside, so I put my shirt back on when I left the classroom. Anyways, it became a whole big thing with the school and my parents, and everyone had to teach me the differences between boys and girls while I argued and told them it was all stupid because I didn't have any boobs yet and I had been hot.

11. As freethenip learned, some loves are too private to share with friends.

when i was like 10, i'd gather all my family and friends, get on my hands and knees and show them the "cool piggyback trick!" their border collie would perform on me.

this carried on for about a year and no one told me i was being aggressively humped. i'd wondered why they were so awkward about it. :0(

12. N0remack's new job orientation proved to be a tough crowd.

I said "I killed a man, and felt nothing" during a new hire orientation.
Trying to be funny.
Still think about that moment sometimes before I go to bed.
Why the fuck did I say that?

13. Thundertool did a great job of convincing a girl just how much he didn't care.

A girl stood me up for a date. The next day I saw her in the cafeteria and didn't want to seem like I cared or that it bothered me (it did but I wanted to just play it cool). So all I did was smile and give a little wave as I walked into a wall in front of her and all her friends.

14. Germenshipard's teen years sound pretty standard.

When I was 15 I made a video of me "raving" in the dark with glowsticks to the song "Sandstorm."

I have no idea why I did that or posted it to YouTube. This was before I started using drugs, lol.

15. ReverendDean pulled the ol' "Forgot your mic was on" trick. Classic.

We were doing some sort of Jeopardy style game for spirit week at my high school. We're in the auditorium with our entire school, which isn't much because I went to a private Catholic school of about 400ish. The questions are all related to some history of the school, sports teams and other miscellaneous things. The people on the stage playing are all captains of the various fall sports teams including men's soccer, field hockey, women's tennis, women's volleyball, cross country and football. Each team had to have a designated question answerer sitting in view of the whole school and another captain would be the one to ask the question. The person asking the question for each respective team had one of those shirt button mics on so the whole auditorium can hear everything and each question being asked. For some God forsaken reason I was chosen amongst the 4 football captains to have the Mic on and ask questions. The person sitting down had to take a whip cream pie to the face for every wrong answer. Keep in mind that I'm on the side of the stage away from view of the students and faculty members with some of my teammates because you only went on stage when it was your sport's turn. Questions are being answered left and right and no pies to anyone's face. It gets back to the field hockey team and they get asked some obscure school history question which they get wrong. Boom, pie to the face. Me being the little 17 year old douche that I was, looked over at my buddy, who was dating the captain of the FH team at the time, and said "that's not gonna be the last creampie she takes today, huh Mike?" Mike is my friends name for story's purpose. I completely forget that I have the shirt button Mic turned on and I walk on stage to ask the next question only to look at this girl's mortified expression looking at me and see the collective "WTFs" from the whole student body including the faculty members. I paused while looking at everyone and just whisper a nice "God fucking dammit" which everyone hears again lol. I got reamed out real nicely after that fiasco. Definitely cringeworthy, but totally hilarious looking back.

16. At least Victoria-n's cousin did technically know where her dad was.

I was speaking to my cousin at a family get together when he asked me where my father was. Trying to be funny and annoying and replied with, "where's yooouurrrr dad?"

His father's funeral was 2 weeks prior.

17. Eva22167's honesty bit her in the ass, as it is wont to do.

My friend told me he and his gf broke up as an April fools joke, my reply: "I'm sorry. To be honest I couldn't see you guys lasting that long anyway." I cringe to myself every fucking day because of this.

18. PouponMacaque has had so many cringeworthy moments his face probably froze like that.

I was playing the bass at a party... A girl sat next to me and said "Good stuff... I like bass players" and I said "I don't play the bass"

On a first date, after not even hugging the girl, I kissed her on the neck goodbye.

I was at a party... Long story, but I did not know any of the 40 or so people there. I puked red wine onto the white walls in front of everybody. Then the female tenants of the house dressed me in a middle school gym outfit.

I invited a girl to hang out for coffee so I could tell her I was planning on dating someone else and wasn't interested (she was). It took me 8 hours to say it. We had a great conversation until then... Also, she gave me a ride home because the buses had stopped running, which is pathetic because I was 22.

I missed a really easy volleyball... volley... In seventh grade in front of like 1000 kids. The ball hit me in the face and they laughed. I started crying and tried to attack the kid next to me for no reason. The coach had to put me over his shoulder and carry me out amid laughs and jeers.

I was boxing my friend in my pajama pants and the gnarly, super small, shriveled tip of my uncircumcised penis popped out. I'm pretty sure he saw and didn't say anything. I just popped it back in and kept going.

I never kissed my first three girlfriends.

I have failed to get a boner during my first sexual encounter with every girl I have ever been with

I lost $1000 cash on the bus

I'm pretty sure I hit a toddler in the face by accident with the metal tip of my umbrella. I felt the thud, kept walking to sit down on the bus, and then looked back. I saw the girl holding her face and the parent looking afraid. They didn't look at me, and I was too petrified to say anything so I just let them get off the bus.

Edit: today, while I was replying to these comments, I was poking fun at a girl having her dad's signature tattooed on her arm, as if he were a celebrity. Turns out he's dead and it was from a letter he wrote her. His name is almost the same as mine, so then I made fun of the similarity and pointed out that she had my signature on her arm. Yes, I felt bad, I'm not evil.

19. Offtheclip has a pretty positive take on the whole embarrassment situation.

I sometimes feel like I've been in a never ending cringe coma since I was thirteen so it's not all that bad.

This GIF of the Queen publicly scolding Prince William is utterly delightful.

Prince William is all grown up with a wife and two children, but that doesn't mean he is immune to a little scolding from grandma every once in a while. At the 2016 Trooping the Colour, Queen Elizabeth scolded her grandson in front of hundreds of spectators, which turned into millions once the GIF was shared on the internet. You can see Prince William crouching down to tend to his son, then The Queen tapping him on the shoulder and saying "Stand up, William."

It is pretty hard to divert your eyes from The Queen's extremely neon-green ensemble, so you can't miss any move she makes. And no matter what, Will had to oblige. Not only is she his grandma, but also the Queen of England for goodness sake, and you can be beheaded for not following her orders.

They totally still do that, right?

All in all, it was a pretty gentle scolding, but the most embarrassed-looking person in the GIF is definitely Prince George, who totally facepalms after his dad is told to stand up.

Hard work.

We did it.

Girl walks out of her own high school graduation, becomes internet hero.

$

Tayler Michelle Gray is a 19-year-old graduate of Parkland High School in Allentown, Pennsylvania, who walked out of her graduation immediately after she received her diploma. It wasn't a protest or a statement, but rather a sensible move by a woman who already works and wants to maximize time with her family.

Gray entered her high school’s online program to complete her degree while she simultaneously attended Lehigh Career and Technical Institute to become a nursing assistant. This spring, she started working at a senior rehabilitation home. Her ultimate goal is to transfer to a university to study sonography.

Here's the video of her walking and walking out:

She now has a legion of fans on Twitter:

Grey told BuzzFeed that she did it simply to spend time with her family:

I wanted them to see me graduate and see me walk. I would’ve liked to spend that extra time with them than sitting through the whole ceremony.

Her tweets prior to her famous walk-out definitely reflect love for her work, family, and telling it how it is:

She's lucky her last name starts with the letter "G." If it started with a letter later in the alphabet she would've been forced to suffer through most of the commencement like the other half of her class.

Kim Kardashian casually mentioned sifting through evidence from the OJ Simpson trial.

In a GQ cover story that also reveals the softness of her breasts and just how impeccably waxed her pubic area appears to be, Kim Kardashian revealed her thoughts on The People vs. OJ Simpson and her memories of the trial. The OJ trial is the unofficial prequel to Keeping Up with Kardashians, showing how the Kardashian kids, growing up in the shadow of the media circus, were seduced by the idea of fame (and luckily got it without killing anyone).

A scene with a young Kim, Rob, Kourtney and Khloe chanting the proper pronunciation of their name when their dad read O.J.'s suicide note on TV.

Kim said she "loved" the series, and was satisfied with David Schwimmer's performance as her late father. "There were times I was watching it and I was like, 'Oh shit, this is dead-on,'"she said. "Like, 'That looks like my dad. It feels like my dad.' It was eerie to watch sometimes."

While she said that the FX show's portrayal of her father was accurate, the depictions of the rest of the family were not: "I don't think those parts were accurate," she says. "I think our ages were off and our looks were off...[The show] said [O.J.] tried to kill himself in my bedroom and it was Khloé's bedroom, not my bedroom."

David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian.

She shared her memories of the trial, which happened her freshman year at high school. Kim and Kourtney managed to ditch class one day to watch the court session on a day they were talking about alarm codes and security systems.

She also talked about her dad's involvement in the case:

I know people said at the time that he [joined Simpson's defense team] so he couldn't be called as a witness, because he had that Louis Vuitton bag that supposedly had the [murder] weapon and stuff like that. But that bag was sitting at my dad's house. I remember I went through it. The news was like, ‘Where is this Louis Vuitton bag?’ And I'm like, ‘Oh, it's upstairs.’

Rob Kardashian and the murder weapon in his bag (swag)?

Kim WENT THROUGH THE BAG. When asked by the reporter what was in it, she said:

"Just toiletries and clothes and golf clothes. Just random stuff. I'm pretty sure it's, like, still in—probably in my dad's storage."

Toiletries? Both "clothes" AND "golf clothes"? Is Kim being honest, or is she covering for OJ? Where was she on the night of June 12, 1994? Did she view the trial as a rebuke for decades of LAPD misconduct towards people of color? Since the trial continues to trend, hopefully she'll capitalize on the topic and reveal more memories.


Orlando shooter's wife reportedly texted him 'I love you' during the massacre.

CBS News has unearthed a small detail about the Orlando gay nightclub shooting that could have larger implications for the attacker's wife, Noor Salman. As Omar Mateen carried out his rampage that killed 49 people, his wife and he reportedly "exchanged texts."

Reports have also come out that Salman gave "conflicting accounts" of her knowledge of her husband's moves preceding the attack. According to the New York Times, Salman "drove Mr. Mateen to Pulse within a week or two of the shooting, apparently to assess the target." Additionally, "she has told agents that tried to talk her husband out of mounting an attack."

The "I love you" text is so far being portrayed, at least by CNN, as mounting evidence against Salman.

Around 4 a.m. on June 12, about two hours after he started the attack and while holed up in a bathroom, Omar Mateen texted his wife, Noor Salman, asking if she'd seen the news, the official said.

At one point, she responded with a text saying that she loved him.

According to CNN, a U.S. attorney will "bring evidence before a federal jury to determine whether charges will be filed" against Salman, who is cooperating with the investigation.

Salman and her three-year-old son survive her husband, who died in a shootout with police at the scene of the attack.

9 guys who asked for their future father-in-law’s blessing and got an awkward answer.

Some find the idea of asking your soon-to-be fiancé's father for his blessing an antiquated tradition. Others think of it as an integral show of respect for the family you're hoping to join. A lot of dads, though, just think it's a great opportunity to make their future son-in-laws feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Do not ask John Mayer's permission.

The following men took to AskReddittoshare their experiences of that particularly excruciating moment. If you're thinking of proposing to your significant other, you might want to carefully consider how you propose to the father, first.

1. It could have been worse for ColeTheHoward, but not much.

Wasn't told no, but it got awkward for a minute.

My future father in law had to take a day trip for business to Vegas (about a two hour drive from where we lived) so I tag along thinking that the drive would provide ample opportunity to have a conversation about marriage.

So, marriage comes up, and he asks me to tell him why I want to marry his daughter. I talk, I bumble, I share a couple of anecdotes and insights, and wrap up my jumbled case over the course of five or six incoherent minutes.

I stare straight ahead at the freeway as I wait for a response.

Nothing. Complete silence. I turn to look at him. He looks concerned as hell. Disgusted, even. In a panic I start trying to review what the hell I had said while beginning to realize that if this goes bad I still have 8 or 9 hours to spend with the guy.

He reaches up to his mouth and then looks at his hand.

"My tooth fell out."

Sure enough, in his hand was a tooth.

We've been married nine years and my father in law and I are very close.

2. PantalonesPantalones'sfiancé was succinctly humiliated.

When my husband called my dad to ask for his blessing, he said "hi, this is _______" and my dad said "who?"

Wonder how that turned out.

3. Before getting to the more brutal rejections, enjoy Aussiemac17's anecdote. He's just kidding.

I wrote a dumb reggae song about it

    4. Soomuchcoffee's story is kind of adorable, very compelling, and thoroughly unenviable.

    I guess I am the insecure type, but I THOUGHT I was being told no when I asked her dad. I'd just bought the ring, and realized there's no way I'd be able to wait until I saw her parents. So I'm driving home to go propose and I call them up. The dad answers.

    "Uh...yeah hello! Uhh...Yeah. So I was calling, uh. I always said I'd do this in person if I was going to do it, but that isn't going to work out now. Uh. So I'm sorry that I have to do this like this. Yeah, uh, I'll get to the point. Obviously I love your daughter and uh, your family is great and has always welcomed me. So you know, thanks for that. Haha, ya. And uh. Jesus. I wanted to make sure I had your blessing, I want to ask your daughter to marry me?"

    There was an interminable pause. But I mean, I just ranted semi-coherently at the guy, I figure give him a second. He's a quiet man anyway. Then it happened.

    "Hahahahahahahahahah"

    He just died laughing. The longest laugh ever. What does this mean? Did I blow it? Oh shit he thinks I'm a loser. I am such a loser. What was that speech!? God damn it man!

    "Haha...oh man. Yes of course. That's wonderful. The same thing happened to me when I proposed, I couldn't stand to wait."

    Thank god! Woo! Success! Then it happened.

    "You want to tell Karen?"

    NO I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN!

    Then, for the second time in about 90 seconds, I gave basically the same above yammering, ridiculous speech about wanting to marry her daughter. My father in law didn't give her any heads up, just "Hey it's soomuchcoffee, he wants to tell you something."

    She was also on board.

    Then I went home and gave the single worst proposal in the history of proposals. A similar, ranting speech with a loose theme of "I love you and stuff" and then basically tossed the ring box at her.

    I have no idea why any of them put up with me.

    5. Neilson509 learned that his father-in-law would be a stern racist with a penchant for one liners.

    Not very awkward. I knew it was coming but i asked anyway. He didnt want his daughter dating a white guy (she is Indian).

    "We came pure to this country dont want to leave a mixed cocktail"

    But it's also honest.

    6. What is it about dads that make them have no respect for the urgency of the moment?

    I can still remember that day. We were working on his truck that broke down and I said, "You know, I've been shacking up in sin with your daughter for a few years now, I'm thinking about popping the question." He nodded and walked back into his house, leaving me outside in confusion. He came back a few moments later with an old ring box and said, "This is the ring I proposed to her mother with. Use this."

    We married for 20 years, been divorced for over a year now and I still talk to that man frequently.

    7. ZarkMatter's in-law has a great message but a harsh delivery.

    I did...

    "May I have your blessing to marry your daughter."

    "She's not some possession, you and her can do what you want."

    We get along and always have...but he's super super liberal in his thoughts.

    So... yes?

    8. Meanwhile, OnlyWear1Sock tells a cautionary tale of what happens when you don't decide to ask for the blessing before you marry.

    When my aunt and uncle were about 20 they eloped. However, after they were married they continued to live separately with their own parents and neither wore their rings around either family. My grandfather is a neat freak and when my aunt was in the shower he went to straighten up her room and found the ring. He didn't say a word to anyone about it until a few weeks later when my uncle asked for his blessing to marry my aunt to which he replied something along the lines of "get the fuck out of my house. You have some nerve asking my blessing after you already married her" and kicked both my aunt and uncle out of his house.

    9. And LadySmuag has a tale from the other side of "no."

    So, I always knew that my dad had to ask three times for permission to marry my mother but today i got the whole story and was traumatized a bit.

    Apparently, he asked my moms father and mother separately because it's traditional to ask the dad but everyone knew who was really in charge. My grandmother said 'no' three times, because she thought my father was too goodfor my mother. Like, she told him he could do better. I've seen pictures of my dad young and he was a legitimately good looking guy, but he was also (and still is) socially awkward as fuck.

    On her wedding day, my grandmother took my dad aside and said my mother was 'handsome, but she would never be beautiful' and he should reconsider. That was moments before she walked down the aisle, my grandmother tried to convince him to leave my mother at the altar.

    They've been married for almost 30 years and have a full season's worth of Dr.Phil episodes of personal issues between them, but my father has never looked at another woman.

    You never want your bride-to-be's parents to think you're too good for them. Apparently, that means you've got a lifetime of Dr. Phil ahead of you.

    The Rock and Jimmy Fallon finally had the prom date no one dreamed of.

    Senior prom is definitely one of the most romanticized parts of the high school experience, and though many go into it expecting a magical and memorable night, it is usually just an evening filled with bad dancing and awkward boners. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jimmy Fallon captured all that terribleness and more in a prom night sketch they did on The Tonight Showon Thursday.

    The two play "cool guys" at prom who want to get with girls, but lose all mobility in their jaws when confronted with one, devolving into a personified version of the "ERMAHGERD" meme. Yea, that really old one from 2012 that no one thinks is funny anymore.

    Have Fallon's writers been online in the past four years?

    Also, you can slap some braces on The Rock, but he is still The Rock, so even if he was so awkward at prom that he lost the ability to form coherent sentences, he would still totally get laid at the end of the night. Still, the sketch is worth it to see The Rock with hair again! It has been gone longer than that meme has been relevant.

    Kid meets Kanye West and reacts the same way Kanye West would react to meeting Kanye West.

    As it turns out, this is the best interview format for Kanye. Get a little kid who's completely starstruck to scream questions in his general direction on what appears to be a carousel at Disneyland.

    Future reporter for CNN: "Kanye West, the boy! How did you write I love Kanye?"

    Kanye: "I just thought about what I loved."

    Great.

    It certainly went a lot better than that time Kanye stared at Ellen while she tried to giggle him into speaking.

    Kanye with Ellen

    Kanye with small fan

    Kanye with googly eyes (just for fun)

    Kanye was celebrating his daughter's birthday with Kim, so he was already in happy-Kanye mode. But it definitely doesn't hurt that the interviewer had the exact same joy at seeing Kanye's face that Kanye feels every morning when he looks in the mirror.
