Father's Day was comical in part because fathers seemed so out of place or uncomfortable in this holiday world of sentimental gifts
and domestic flattery. The little remembrances
of flowers, cards, and novelties became funny when showered on Father; they
opened up a line of humor that played on the gendered incongruities of holiday gift giving. As one editorial writer on the holiday
put the matter in 1925, fathers have 'no talent for the fribbles and frabbles and furbelows with which Mother signalizes well-being.

The relationship of the toastmaster to the speaker should be the same as that of the fan to the fan
