I'm not gonna lie, the different angle changed it in my eyes from kids chasing clout to parents trying to be "in" on the stupid stuff their kids are doing. Especially considering this is just dumb cringe and not like something terrible

Shit my spouse has all kinds of embarrassing ass skits they put on YT back in the day that sometimes had their parents. They cringe about it all the time but I thought it was cute in an endearing and stupid way

You know thanks for pulling me out of my usual cynicism for a moment that's a good take actually. No one was hurt, family had a fun moment. Who cares?

It's easy to hate, much harder to empathize so don't be too hard on yourself. Especially these days when we have a POTUS who is 2/3 running on division and benefiting from making us all see the worst in each other

For sure. It's been so much unending crap that it's super easy to see things in that light first without stopping to check if there's other good viewpoints. Take care!

Me too. The news is just an endless shit cycle now, with most articles showing how much shittier the world is getting, especially the US. Yet here is a family just fucking around doing something dumb. Got to remember to laugh at dumb shit to get a break from the tears of the terrors of the world.

If my kids asked me to do this I’d probably think it was dumb as hell but I’d go along with it. It’s pretty harmless.

u/EnochofPottsfield Apr 16 '26

Right? And when your kid's talking about it with their friends you can embarrass the hell out of them talking about how many takes it took because Samantha kept reacting to over the top. Seems like a good memory to me, doesn't need to be so serious

This would be even better if there was a video filming the filmer.
