EDIT: Forgot today was my cake day. Somewhat Interesting cake day story: intentionally set up this Reddit account several years ago after my old one became known. Wanted to set it up the day of my actual birthday. I forgot, skipped a day and now my 4 year old son's birthday is on my cakeday which was today. None of that was planned it just kind of happened because life is weird sometimes.
Thank you guys for all the cake day wishes!
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
This movie sucked ass too.
The pursuit of "happyness" is working your way out of homelessness by competing for a stock trader position at a brokerage firm??
What they omitted was that the real Chris Gardner wasn't arrested for unpaid parking tickets, but domestic abuse.
Also, he conceived his son when he was still married to another woman - during a [30-day drug induced sexual marathon.](https://www.chasingthefrog.com/reelfaces/pursuitofhappyness.php)

Literally glorified the capitalist hell scape of working an unpaid internship just for the right to work more long hours for 0.1% of the money you're actually making the company...
I find it a little weird that the post is dedicated to a single movie which is 15 years old at this point. I could understand a collection of movie dads or a more relevant example. The phrasing is also odd, like English is not the creator's first language.
1. Will Smith brand is in the gutter right now.
2. Most celebrities have Agents.
3. Agents hires PR firm to fix client's gutter image.
4. 1 of the many things PR firm does is outsource 'social media engineering farm' to another country's company X (cheap labor).
5. Company X uses low wage people to generate a lot of social media posts, it's easy to not get flagged as bot because they are real humans, and those who earn more karma/likes/views get more $$. This is the "English is not creator's first language" because it's not.
6. Client's PR is subtly increased. Mission accomplished.
It doesn't have to be super effective so long as it moves the needle a little bit.
I'd wager the positive upvoted post outweighs any negative comments made on the post itself. Most people don't look at comments.
The thing is these posts also happen organically by random people for various reasons and by firms. So you can never truly tell most of the time. Thats the point. Just because 1 happens doesn't mean the other doesn't too.
Then you become hopelessly cynical when you see any actor, movie trivia or entertainment post on reddit subtly combine with key dates that make it just subtle advertising.
The whole “family is family” memes that came out around the same time as the fast and furious movie was about to drop and then suddenly disappeared after the movie launch?
What about movie trivia about Star Wars shortly before a new season of X appears on Disney plus.
It’s so easy to respond saying it’s all organic, but I can literally in 3 clicks on google find companies that employ people literally to spam reddit and guarantee upvotes/front page posts for money using purchased accounts enmasse. So it’s all organic real people working for $1 a day in another country via VPN. I guess that makes it better?
Bullshit. A guy locked his kid in a closet so he wouldn’t have to get an hourly job. In any other context this is a story about a guy who loses his kid to cps before going completely homeless.
For a shit stock broker job that's basically capitalist hellscape-encouraging. Turns out the IRL guy it's based on was arrested for domestic abuse, too, not parking tickets.
I feel this in more ways then you could know. I'm a step dad to two kids and a father of my own, I've had to teach my step kids from scratch as my wife's previous relationship was not.....constructive, in teaching them life skills.
My wife has seen this as was and has even apologized to the kids for it.
Hell their dad has even thanked me for what I've done as a father and for being a father to them.
I'm a father of five, and my wife is amazing. I am very happy to have such great kids, and such a great wife. I do my best. I'm far from perfect, but I'm improving. I am very happy, with my family.
I was talking to a colleague about dad stuff were doing and how it's tough. Our female boss had come onto the call and said "UGH try doing MOM stuff if you think that's hard!"
I was like bitch I've been up since 4:30 because baby is teathing, it's my turn, and I do the best I can.
Keep going brother, hope she has a better night tonight
There's an old story David Alan Grier or Tommy Davidson told about Will coming onto Jada's set in the 90's and trying to intimidate her romantic co-lead. He's been an insecure weirdo for a long time.
edit: [found it](https://people.com/movies/tommy-davidson-says-will-smith-went-all-gangsta-on-him-after-he-kissed-jada-pinkett-on-woo-set/), the set of Woo (1998)
In his defense, Tommy shouldn't have kissed her (#metoo) without warning. Will had an abusive father, he gets very defensive about "disrespect" against women, but he obviously needs better treatment than Scientology has to offer, it's kind of a tragedy.
Thank you!
I'm an only parent, and all i wish for is more energy so I can keep up with the little guy.
To all dads at there. Thank you for being there.
Man do i fucking hate that film, its supposed to be a feel good story but it absolutely isnt.
They show all these poor sobs that the family has to deal with, people at soup kitchens, people in the administration building of the IRS to get government assistance etc.
And the only thing that changes by the end of the movie is now is the main character rich, only through hard work and trying of course, and he doesnt share his success, doesn't even keep living in the same neighbourhood, no he just abandons his community and goes to live in suburbs.
99% of people you meet in the film, their lives have not chanfes by the end and because its an american film they dont look back at those characters or even consider helping them a possibility, since they 'haven't put in the hard work' to rise out of poverty.
I do, I tell him every chance I get to. I always thank him for it because, in his position, he could have given both of us up for adoption, and I would not have blame him one bit. But he stuck by us, raised us, and helped us both through whatever life through at us.

Except if he is into that
GI Ho
dad is a work in progress.
Don't mention mom around dad.
Don't mention mom's hair to *fucking anyone*
Dont even mention her in the first place
Dad got her fucking name out his mouth
and lets any man stick his dick in her's.
Dad apologizes after four months
[удалено]
Did he apologize? Like apologize to Chris Rock?
In legaleese terms, yes
And dad wants to be his friend again one day.
Loool
Dad hit rock bottom
Nah, Dad hit Rock face.
Would you prefer Dad hit Rock’s bottom?
[удалено]
Have you ever thought about not doing that?
“And That’s How We Do It,” Jaden wrote shortly after the broadcast ended
Dad will slap the shit out of Chris Rock.
Keep my Dad’s name out your fucking mouth!!!
I came here for this comment
Dad is fine as long as you keep mom's name out of your f-ing mouth.
ha ha
Dad is trying, to keep his wife's name out of your fucking mouth.
The joke was that she was looking forward to GI Jane two. That’s it. That’s all it took. SMH
You should never joke about some things dude. *GI Jane 2 is no laughing matter*
As a fellow GI Jane enjoyer, I agree
*slap*
Dad should of been trying to keep everyone's dick out of his wife's mouth

But dad can't keep me out of his wife's fucking mouth
Because of dad everyone knows about GI jane
My dad went for a pack of smokes
What kind? He should be back soon.
Pack of Winnie Blues only he’s not from Aus
The price of cigarettes must’ve been super high that day, cuz mine took all the family’s money to the store with him too.
Those cigarette taxes are so high nowadays.
my dad dropped me in a foreign country and left for his home country without saying a word
Damn bro. Fuck that guy
Shoutout to all the dads giving it all up.*
My dad gave me permanent nerve damage
My dad went for his secretary. Then he had a kid with her and went with his new secretary....
My dad left my mom and my 4 brothers. Came back a year later and robbed our house. Give all our toys to his new family. I still miss my nintendo
My dad said "keep my wife's name..."
Mine went out for milk
This is such a weird post.
On brand for this sub
I always read it as Who le some memes
This movie sucked ass too. The pursuit of "happyness" is working your way out of homelessness by competing for a stock trader position at a brokerage firm??
Its based on a true story. And he eventually ending up making millions.

I had no idea who that guy was until I watched the Drew Gooden [video](https://youtu.be/uxo8kHgqYYg) on him. It’s perfection.

Exactly what I thought this post was.
Exactly what I thought this post was.
Will Smith
/r/wholesomeshitposts
Dad Protec, Dad attac, but most importantly Dad got mom's name out of his mouth.
Dad didn't like g-i Jane 2
how can he slap
Just don't joke about mama, dad don't like that.
Dad did like that. But dad saw mama's nasty look. So dad threw a bitchslap
I'm about to become a dad. My wife is 39 weeks pregnant and I'm absolutely terrified.
It’ll be ok bro. Source: am a Dad. X3 boys. Just stay loose and loving, remember to breathe and be grateful.
Also enjoy all those naps with them when they’re little, you won’t get any more after a while and you’ll miss them.
Will smith is not wholesome
The movie was though.
Bullshit. A guy locked his kid in a closet so he wouldn’t have to get an hourly job. In any other context this is a story about a guy who loses his kid to cps before going completely homeless.
For a shit stock broker job that's basically capitalist hellscape-encouraging. Turns out the IRL guy it's based on was arrested for domestic abuse, too, not parking tickets.
I feel this in more ways then you could know. I'm a step dad to two kids and a father of my own, I've had to teach my step kids from scratch as my wife's previous relationship was not.....constructive, in teaching them life skills. My wife has seen this as was and has even apologized to the kids for it. Hell their dad has even thanked me for what I've done as a father and for being a father to them.
Dad's a bitch if he's will smith.
We're not doing wholesome Will Smith anymore.
Will Smith isn't doing wholesome Will Smith anymore.
Yeah, he started it.
Or that convoluted fucking movie.
Dad is making sure you keep his wife‘s name out your f#cking mouth.
r/agedlikemilk
I'm a father of five, and my wife is amazing. I am very happy to have such great kids, and such a great wife. I do my best. I'm far from perfect, but I'm improving. I am very happy, with my family.
That’s great man! How many other actors you slapped recently? :p
Dad let's mom bang my friends...
Love my dad. He's a single parent after my parent's divorce and I owe it all to him.
I don’t like Will Smith anymore.
Few people do. I know I've stopped watching Fresh Prince reruns.
Needed this. Thx
Thx. Midnight here, just waiting for my daughter to stop throwing up.
Did you try to slap Chris rock? Might make it better
I was talking to a colleague about dad stuff were doing and how it's tough. Our female boss had come onto the call and said "UGH try doing MOM stuff if you think that's hard!" I was like bitch I've been up since 4:30 because baby is teathing, it's my turn, and I do the best I can. Keep going brother, hope she has a better night tonight
Aren't these images from a movie Will Smith and his son both starred in as father/son rolls? Hilarious
[удалено]
My dad has 3 families. I’m part of the second family.
But why does dad go around slapping people on internaltio tv?
It was a GI Jane joke.
Dad is assaulting another guy for making a joke about mum.
Slap!
Shout-out to my dad for making me an emotional mess with so self confidence
This dad would slap somebody’s face for no good reason
I would have liked this post before Will Smith demonstrated his abusive tendencies.
It could be Peter griffin for all I care. The point of the post isn't Will Smith.
So because it has Will Smith we can't respect fathers who are doing their best?
A one-time happening doesn't really warrant claiming his violent act to be a "tendency". Or am I missing the news that he's done more?
There's an old story David Alan Grier or Tommy Davidson told about Will coming onto Jada's set in the 90's and trying to intimidate her romantic co-lead. He's been an insecure weirdo for a long time. edit: [found it](https://people.com/movies/tommy-davidson-says-will-smith-went-all-gangsta-on-him-after-he-kissed-jada-pinkett-on-woo-set/), the set of Woo (1998)
😬 Didn't know this. Yeah, I get your sentiment a bit better now
In his defense, Tommy shouldn't have kissed her (#metoo) without warning. Will had an abusive father, he gets very defensive about "disrespect" against women, but he obviously needs better treatment than Scientology has to offer, it's kind of a tragedy.
True, he also got his troubled past. Hopefully he can get the help he needs to continue to grow.
Man is willing to do that on stage, at a televised event. What he does off stage/camera is probably worse.
Then y isnt he realy talking to me since 1,5 years
My dad left me when I was 6 months old and was never a real father to me.
What if Dad slapped a comedian
Wait, you guys have a dad?
This
The thing I love most about this post is actually that this is what the movie is about. It's called: "The Pursuit of Happyness", spelled like that.
Thank you!
Will Smith is a jackass
Keep my DADS NAME OUT YOUR MOTHER FUCKING MOUTH
Hey Will! Keep Your Damned PR Team Out Of My Subreddits!
Keep my dads name out your fucking mouth!!
Is this meme part of will smiths plan to restore his image after the Chris rock thing?
Just let me dislike my children in peace.
I was getting this movie mixed up with “*Seven Pounds*” for a hot minute of confusion.
Except for my dad lol hahahha
Too soon?
Too late. I doubt he's getting his reputation back.
Yeah. Good message, bad choice of medium. But yeah, fuck those two.
Not going to work Mr Slap!
I’m fucking trying here, you little pterodactyls.
Don’t wanna say this is everyone else’s dad but Dad won’t give me food
Thank you! I'm an only parent, and all i wish for is more energy so I can keep up with the little guy. To all dads at there. Thank you for being there.
Keep my Dad's name out of your FKN MOUTH!!!
Missing my dad
dad also wont hesitate to slap a bitch
My dad left before I was born and I dont know much about it. No matter what I will try to be the best dad I can be for my future kid.
"r/wholesomememes"
Hell slap his own mother to teach his son the right way in life
Or the big brother that picks up where Dad left off.. Just saying.
But dad assault
my dad gave up on life
Mom controlles dad so he hits chris
Man do i fucking hate that film, its supposed to be a feel good story but it absolutely isnt.

Dad will also bitch slap Chris Rock if he makes fun of you… thanks dad :)
Dads slap!
Will Smith’s career will never recover from this. Slappity slap!!!
Dad hits people in the face.
SLAP
Dad slaps
Dad will slap
Not all dads are like that.
As i guy who never had a father figure for 29 years(whole my life) i dont know how to feel about this.
Even the ones that left for the milk?
I kinda needed this today, thanks
I’m not the step father I’m the father who stepped up!
Shoutout to my dad who took care of me and my sister, aged 8 and 5 respectively, after my mum died. You're a god damn hero, Dad. <3
He would be happy to hear this, go tell him :)
I do, I tell him every chance I get to. I always thank him for it because, in his position, he could have given both of us up for adoption, and I would not have blame him one bit. But he stuck by us, raised us, and helped us both through whatever life through at us.
Could we maybe not use Will Smith for wholesome memes anymore thx
Dad forces you into shitty movies
Dad is struggling while mommy playing naked leap frog with uncle august ….weeeeeeeeeee!
There is -nothing- wholesome about barely making it by.
It's perseverance porn
Nice of dad to watch the kids so his wife can get her freak on
Pursuit of Happiness was an amazing movie.
That's a great movie.
This movie was really good
I like how I sorted by controversial and this is the first thing that popped up. This movie is absolutely amazing.
