Dad Makes Goth Daughter Feel At Home In This German Hardware Store Ad

This is everything. I love my daughter unconditionally and will support her no matter what. Always be yourself... unless you suck. Also, I really want to paint my house black now.

I see a red door and I want to paint it black.

oh gosh i teared up, this is way more wholesome than I expected. Having family that supports you unconditionally is the greatest gift a child can have

Parent of the year award goes to...Goth Girl Dad!!

THis ad is actually a few years old (Geman gothic here) and I have to say, even I cried ugly tears when I saw it first. Not a single Gothic, metal-head, geek or nerd who hasn't experienced that kind of loneliness and back-talk, especially when you live in the more rural places in Germany. I usually approach them all with total kindness, firstly because it seems to calm them down and assure them I will not whip out a dead squirrel from somewhere and proclaim my love for Satan (Atheist anyway) and secondly because its hilarious as F. They're always so comfused by the discrepancy between how I look and how I act. But yeah, the ad went over well in Germany with many Gothics hailing it as a great thing. Plus, it made us laugh (we like to laugh, we just have a weird sense of humour) :) Hornbach always does commercials that makes you laugh^^

im goth i saw this ad

My question is why doesn't she have to do gym class

Any Goth would feel at home at 2400 Fulton Street in San Francisco when it used to be the Jefferson Airplane house. This is how it looked back then: 9c7ffaa4fc...0a2e78.jpg

This is from 2014. I remember when this ad was new and it was posted in all websites. When I noticed this article I wished that they had made a sequel to that ad but it was just an aticle about the original ad.

she is pretty

The Gothfather. Soon coming to a hardware store close to you.

Reminds me of this..... Raise Your Freak Flag High by Ryan Hamilton. Contains language that may offend, it’s not littered with swearing but you wouldn’t want your children repeating it in polite company 😜 https://youtu.be/3HSsLbs1k8Y

this makes me so happy I wanna cry

Annoying and ridiculously stereotypical of how the head popular mean girl of the group just HAD to be a girl with blonde hair. Really? There are plenty of goth girls in real life who have blonde hair too, and they don’t dye it black.

someone just found out hornbach adds.... its 4 years old, but still awesome. Hornbach make such awesome, funny and wholesome adds, look for more :)

While I don't question that she may be started at from time to time I do question whether or not the kids and grown ups in all of the the 'uncredited' pictures in thie article are really being condemning or if these are just pictures the poster picked off the internet to make the point.

Although fictional ; What a great dad! I'm sure he does not dig the life-style of his daughter, i'm sure he would never dress as her or listen to her music. But he loves en aproves of her. Parentel aproval has such a big impact on children. You are the world to them, never forget this. Try to understand what you don't understand, and you will see that the bond between you and your child will strengthen a lot. Because they will feel important and understood.

love this!

Isn't she making the point that she is different? Would she really appreciate her father's efforts?

I went through a very goth 'phase' when i was a teen and we were all intentionally so miserable and sad, it was so silly, but goth girls are very hot. i still love the music though

This isn't goth, it's heavy emo or punk but not goth. Awesome story though!
