Tracee Ellis Ross’s Dad on a Virtual Reality Roller Coaster Is Exactly What We Needed to See Today

Tracee Ellis Ross shared a priceless video that’s bound to brighten anyone’s day.

Earlier this month, the Black-ish star, 49, posted a never-before-seen clip on social media, featuring her dad, Robert Ellis Silberstein, on a virtual reality roller coaster.

In the video, Silberstein is sitting in a lit-up chair and wearing a VR headset. While the goggles display a roller coaster track, the chair also rocks back and forth to create a realistic experience.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me. Holy sh-,” he says before swinging his legs back and forth, yelling, “Woo!” At the end of the clip, someone says, “What do you think, Bob?” Silberstein responds with an affirmative fist bump.

The caption read, “Wholesome content alert: my dad @bobellis333 on a VR roller coaster [laughing emoji].”

As expected, fans enjoyed the video and filled the comments section with spot-on messages. One person wrote, “Omg wholesome is the right word.” Another added, “You two, are a comedy duo.” Someone even commented on his rag doll legs, writing, “His feet!”

This isn’t the first time Ross has posted content with her dad on social media. Earlier this year, the actress posted a heartwarming video on her personal Instagram account, featuring the moment she broke social distancing protocol to reunite with Silberstein. Last month, Ross documented the moment her dad bought every copy of her Harper’s Bazaar cover at Barnes & Noble.

We adore this father-daughter relationship.
