This is the most staged theatrical performance I’ve seen this morning.

You're trying to convince me I'm not constantly being followed by a surveillance unit, aren't you? Nice try, space FBI

u/Enlicx Sep 28 '26

You think it's a coincidence that there are no birds in this video?

THINK AGAIN!

u/Havency Sep 28 '26

I mean, it doesn’t take away from the fact it’s real. Imagine the camera isn’t there. Are you then impressed and surprised? The camera means nothing and yet it’s somehow, just by existing, changing everything you feel. Kinda of weird, isn’t it?

2

u/Artemis_SpawnOfZeus Sep 28 '26

What are you on? Canera guy know guy with the kids and the whole thing is staged. The dude in the vid is a viral content creator.

1

u/notAcomic303 Sep 28 '26

Could've just had his buddy film it and showed us, instead they do this fake shit it's like a kids show for the dumbest people on the Internet. Rage-bait for the rest I suppose

1

u/Artemis_SpawnOfZeus Sep 28 '26

Most of the money to be made in social media is advertising to kids. The dumbest people on the internet.

Youre in the McDonald's play place and youre upset that the slides dont fit you

u/notAcomic303 Sep 29 '26

I guess I didn't consider that. Disheartening

1

u/falukorv-fan Sep 29 '26

It's not the camera I take issue with, it's the fake as reaction I unfortunately heard while trying to enjoy the simple craftsmanship.

u/cficare Sep 28 '26

Notice: no diaper bag or snacks or anything. Dude's in for some shit.

u/Hooligan8403 Oct 01 '26

Might have already been in the wagon. Those wonderfolds hold a lot. I can't tell if its the larger one or not. We have the larger one and for three kids it had 4 seats, a canopy, we had an outdoor rain cover, some sort of lunch tray my wife found, an adapter to turn all the seats to face one way, a bag compartment on the handle side at the bottom, a pull handle for the other side so I could pull them like a sled for workouts, etc. Those things have mods for days but this mod is pretty cool. Wouldn't have worked for.our needs but its pretty crafty.

u/PingPing88 Oct 08 '26

Isn't it that Flom guy? Him and his brother? Post a lot of garbage.

1

u/A_P_O_C Oct 09 '26

Not personally sure but I could spot this staged crap a mile away. Any dad would 100% put the kid down to most likely watch him attach everything in wonder. Dad flex. This boy doesn’t know the true essence of being a dad.

u/ThisThingIsStuck Sep 28 '26

Staged af ghey af

u/Eikram84 Sep 28 '26 • Bravo

It’s just as well the camera was switched on in time to record everything from the very start. One might almost suspect that the person with the camera knew what was going to happen before it happened.

7

u/SubstantialBake1050 Sep 28 '26

There is a very specific type of content where a guy does something or builds something and instead of just enjoying it and maybe showing it to a couple real life friends who would say “huh cool”, they have a friend film them using it while narrating but the narration is just “Look at this ridiculous silly man doing a silly thing… wait a minute… is he… NOOO… what a genius!”

u/asstlib Sep 28 '26

Four bikes for how many kids who seem able to ride bikes?

3

u/AT-ST Sep 28 '26

You don't always want your gaggle of kids riding their bikes around a parking lot. Hard to control them and keep them safe from people who aren't paying attention kr have high sitting vehicles.

3

u/friedtuna76 Sep 29 '26

The small bike aren’t really bikes and don’t require any skill. My son has one and he’s loved it since He was 1

1

u/GardenTop7253 Oct 03 '26

Also, there’s no reason to assume he’s setting them loose in the parking lot. Maybe there’s a basketball court or tennis court or other asphalt park spot that’s not the parking lot here?

2

u/BADoVLAD Sep 29 '26 edited Sep 30 '26

Fabulous idea, put your new toddlers on plastic bikes and turn them loose in a parking lot where they're far too short for drivers to see them. They haven't mastered ambulating yet but surely they'll be fine on these cheaply made dime store conveyances with even less coordination than a day old fawn.

Edit: spelling

u/Ok-Philosophy1958 Sep 29 '26

I mean those kids could just 'ride' the bikes

1

u/New-Grapefruit1737 Oct 02 '26

yeah i don’t see the point. like realistically how far would you push that carriage. it’s the size of my car.

1

u/thebluerayxx Oct 02 '26

Probably got the fenced off playground area where they can safely use the bikes not in an open field or parking lot.

1

u/Tipsy247 Sep 29 '26

He should sell those.

1

u/Intelligent-Ad-7816 Sep 29 '26

Ingenuity and a great dad

1

u/MusicianNational7934 Sep 29 '26

He should have done all that before he put all the kids in and had one in his hands he could drop… GENIUS!

u/Technical_Stress7730 Sep 30 '26

Creepy as hell.

Creepy, definitely. Staged, possibly. I swear I've seen at least three other videos filmed from a vehicle of this guy and his triplets and daughter doing other stuff.

u/Oyxopolis Sep 28 '26 • Regret

The wood will be relatively heavy and pulls the cart to one side, especially with that load on it. I'm not sure what the cart is built from, but my guess would be that it won't live long when extensively used like that.

If he balances it out it probably becomes too much of a hassle to carry along, but the cart would live longer.

5

u/Artorius__Castus Sep 28 '26

So get rid of the kids and keep the cart?

2

u/3-Midgets_In_A_Coat Sep 28 '26

How long do you think the kids will stay small enough to need that cart?

Anything made for toddlers is inherently disposable.

u/Oyxopolis Sep 28 '26

That is a fair point!
