Okay, we have seen a lot of homemade versions of mom and dads rapping, trying to make parenthood look awesome. But in this video, Toyota has definitely invested in creating an inspired take on suburban minivanning.
Beautifully shot in black and white, there is an everyman appeal to this video, and it’s hard not to wince with a little self-awareness of how self-important we are as parents.. While I think some of the other “Meet the parents” videos for the Sienna wagon from Toyota, featuring these same actors, are pretty lame and a lot clichéd, this one is pretty funny.
And, good on Toyota for recognizing dads as being just as goofy in the parenting game as moms. While a Boycott Pampers movement brews for their negligence of dads, it’s nice to see a company at least giving us a nod.
Definitely worth viewing and passing on.

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.

In this episode of Great Dad Talks, I talk with psychotherapist and author Dr. Brian DeRoche (Living a Trigger Free Life) about the neuroscience behind why our kids trigger us and how nervous systems influence each other through co-regulation. Brian explains “emotional influence,” the role of nonverbal cues and facial presence in creating safety, and how repeated disconnection can teach children painful emotional lessons about not mattering.
Whether you’re dealing with tantrums, feeling triggered at home, or just want to connect more deeply with your kids, this interview will give you science-backed guidance for building stronger, happier family bonds.
