With the rise of technology, parents are increasingly turning to innovative methods and gadgets to entertain and educate their children. Yet, a contentious debate persists regarding the suitability of these devices for young children. However, one father, known as @thebrilliantdad, put an end to this debate with his comically iconic response. In an Instagram reel, the dad’s ingenious reaction to a comment was truly remarkable, earning him praise from fellow parents.
The dad shared a comment in the video that stated, “If you give your kid an iPad, somebody else will raise your kids.” In a brilliant parody video response, the dad transformed this comment into a perfect dad joke. Taking the comment literally, he humorously questioned, “Is that how it works?” With a theatrical gasp, he swiftly approached his toddler son, who was peacefully engrossed in a book. Startled by his father’s sudden actions, the child watched as the dad dramatically snatched the book from his hands. Adding sound effects and slow-motion effects, the humor of the video was heightened. Subsequently, he placed an iPad in his child’s hands, causing the kid to burst into laughter. “Take that, okay?” the dad quipped to his son before whisking him away to another location.
In a whimsical scene captured on camera, the dad bid farewell to his son at another person’s doorstep, symbolizing the notion of someone else raising the child now that he possessed an iPad. With feigned empathy, the dad humorously remarked, “You’re gonna live with someone else now,” while pointing at the camera. As the door unlocked and opened, the dad theatrically directed his attention as if addressing someone, declaring, “Yes, he’s for you,” before walking away victoriously, leaving viewers in stitches.
In his caption, the dad mockingly pondered, “Why did no one tell me this before! Also, who is this ‘somebody?’” Parents couldn’t contain their laughter at the dad’s witty comeback and rallied behind him in support. Comments from viewers like @shaynamaydela and @scarlet7474 expressed amusement and admiration for the dad’s humor, while @gingerolivernb shared a cautionary note about the challenges of monitoring children’s online activities as they grow older.
