Dad thought he was being surprised with basketball shoes — then he found something else tucked inside

It is wonderful to receive something that you have wanted for years, especially at a time when you least expect it. A YouTube personality who bought his dad his dream car wrapped the gift in the most unexpected way, leaving his father stunned for a moment. The person, David Dobrik, took to YouTube to share the moment when he gave his dad a car in the guise of gifting him basketball shoes. The interaction that followed was both hilarious and heartwarming.

"Close your eyes," Dobrik announced as he rushed inside with a present. He asked his dad, "What is the one thing your son took from you and never gave you back?" The dad joked, "My life," before eventually responding, "My basketball shoes." Dobrik agreed and asked his dad to close his eyes. "I so appreciate you letting me borrow those shoes," Dobrik said while laughing. He gave his dad basketball shoes. "Basketball shoes! Thanks, Davey," the dad exclaimed. However, he noticed something inside the shoes and tried to get it out. "With a remote control," the dad said as he took out the car keys hidden inside the shoe until he realized what it actually was. "Wow, these are good shoes."

The family went out to see the BMW standing outside their house that the son had gotten for the dad. "Oh my god!" a person behind the camera screamed. "Wow, wow, man," the dad remarked as he walked towards his brand-new car. "Do you like it?" Dobrik asked. "I love it," his dad expressed. "I am just impressed. I am enjoying it," the dad said as he drove the car around briefly, still in a little disbelief over what had just happened. The creator wondered why his dad was so quiet and joked about wanting to get a bigger reaction from him. His dad complied. The man went inside and gave a dramatic reaction as he came out, even taking off and throwing his hat. The dad went ahead and gave his son a big hug, thanking him once again for the gift.

People took to the comments section of the video to share their thoughts on the wholesome interaction between the dad and his son.

In this vlog, they gift his dad a blue car, then they joke about how everyone in Vernon Hills likes blue and the vlog ends with some heartwarming shots with the song 'My favorite color is you' playing in the background. I remembered the song randomly and had an itch to watch this vlog. I mean, I sound crazy right now, but damn, I somehow just realized so much thought goes into each of his vlogs. The bits are great, but these little intricacies are what make it so wholesome and irreplaceable. Come back with the vlogs, David!"

@hannahboyo8441 commented, "David’s dad's basketball shoes with remote control' literally dying of laughter." @leonardtoenow remarked, "David’s father seems like a great father. I wonder how my life would be if I was raised by a genuine, loving father who supported me. My life is great now. I had to learn to be my own man and create the morals and ethics myself instead of being taught by a father who would do this. It’s okay, mama’s got me. Thank you, mama! Love the vlogs, David!"
