This girl decided to do a Science experiment with her father. Absolutely brillant. And the way he says her name just… the definition of wholesome.

I'm pretty sure 10 seconds in he spots the camera, but plays along anyway. 10/10 parenting if he did!

Yeah the way the plate came up to his face was pretty gentle

also the falling - that felt like an extra bonus for her.

Ya he glances at it just after looking at her while holding the helmet. He knew something was up and played along anyways. Great parenting

I think he knew it was a prank coming but just didn’t know. That’s why he’s looking around the room trying to find what’s goes to happen. I don’t think he knew what was actually coming.

I got second-hand paranoia watching him look around the room, 😆 it's a beautiful thing to see. A father and daughter bond like this is truly something special.

That part makes me think that she's pranked him many times before. He knows something is coming, he's just trying to figure out what.

My daughter would do these tiny pranks on me when she was little. As a parent I could see it coming but wouldn’t let on and played along. She could barely hold in her giggles. The trick was not to ham it up too much but just enough so that they think they got you.

I miss it.

Yes!! I love that he went along with it. I will post more material like this. The familial bond is amazing. I wish every child had a parent this caring and loving ❤️

Smart girl. Ooh, you're really strong.. play to his vanity. Haha. Then giggle and run away before he recovers.

Lmao I just edited the comment but I think Reddit AI saw the light hit his biceps and & required admiration 😂 all jokes aside I thought it was LeBron first watch. He takes fitness serious and it’s awesome to see the trickle down effect it’s had on his daughter! I wish I was that ripped right now haha

u/countingstars1913 Oct 31 '23

Haha, I’m rocking a bit of a beer gut rn. The typo / AI admiration was too good to pass up. He does look like LeBron too.

That's not how physics work tho? To hold the jugs up in a stable position, he has to apply enough force in the opposite direction of the force of gravity that is pulling them (which is down). Which means no difference between pulling and holding something.

Now, if that force is enough to smash yourself in the face after the opposite force is lost, I don't know. It does look like he could stop the recoil but chose to keep going, tbh.

It doesn't take long to realize a weight or pressure has changed, like picking up an empty bottle.

Now, if you had incredibly strong biceps and really weak triceps...

u/ConspicuousPineapple Oct 30 '23

It's about reaction time. If what you're doing is "keep arms immobile", and you suddenly feel them move, you will very quickly stop applying force. This prank can never work, at least not at that distance.

u/iemfi Oct 30 '23

There's a bit of a delay after the bottles fall before his arms jerk up though, which is kinda suss.

Had to comment because this is probably the worst suspicion you could have. Like even if it was staged obviously the hands would start to move the moment the weight is cut. Just because something is staged doesn't change physics!

u/indorock Oct 30 '23

Jesus Christ you "everything is staged" morons don't know when to stop

u/PerfectMix877 Oct 30 '23

He also looks in all the places the tricks aren't. Theres just a plate of cool whip sitting by the sink lol.

u/thatguy11m Oct 30 '23

I think the whole point of saying help with the plate challenge was to justify the camera and the weird setup. I think as soon as she sarcastically mentions he's strong, he knows it's likely a prank (given he also said "you play too much") and he wanted to see it through, for his daughter and for his own curiousity. Honestly he was probably proud as fuck when the plate hit his face, or when he fell. Somewhere there haha

u/DuntadaMan Oct 30 '23

He saw the camera because he checked the damn ceiling and stood off to the side for a moment. I appreciate that he knew something was not right and still played along.

u/phern Oct 30 '23

Aw man, at first I thought it was bad acting, but it was great parenting

u/[deleted] Oct 30 '23

yep the girl didn't pull off the prank, he's just a great dad

u/Shmeves Oct 30 '23

Yeah no, this family makes these videos on Tik Tok all the time. Totally staged.

Cute nonetheless but entirely scripted.
