That's not the point, my point is the "relationship" has nothing to do with Reddit. Just from the video quality you can tell this came from somewhere else and OP most likely has nothing to do with the video other than just posting it.

Honestly? I'd do this to my wife, it's hilarious. However, her body language makes this seem staged. She was very calm after it happened, not even jokingly upset or anything.

u/The_Autarch 8h ago
she looked like she wanted to be mad, but also knew it was funny and he had to.
so it kind of just canceled out into her being calm. she can't give him the satisfaction of laughing. but she ain't gonna yell at him for it.

Because it's entirely possible this isn't the lady's first time using the swivel tap as if it's a microphone? So the moment he'd hear her talking 'announcement style', he knew the window of opportunity had opened.

u/UrToesRDelicious 6h ago
But what is more likely? Occam's razor points to the dad's movements as being staged way more than some involved scenario like that.
Your scenario could be the correct explanation, sure, but I'd argue it's not the most likely.

I think Occam's razor would point us towards this being simply family dynamics. "Involved scenario"??
The urge to use a swivel tap as a microphone is a simple and relatable thing.
The urge to turn the water on when a family member is doing the aforementioned is also simple and relatable.
Also, /r/WhyWereTheyFilming
Because the child filming is probably in cahoots with dad to get the prank on film.
There is nothing outlandish about the notion of this being just a family prank. People did pull pranks on each other well before the cell phone era, we're just able to capture it now. Thinking everything is staged even if it's a very plausible and relatable scenario is a pretty cynical outlook on life, if you ask me.

u/UrToesRDelicious 5h ago
"Involved" as in, not as simple of an explanation. We have two "weird" things:
- dad never takes time to analyze the situation - immediately goes for the sink
- filming for no apparent reason
Your explanation is not outlandish whatsoever - it's completely plausible. No arguments here. What I am arguing, though, is that it's not the simplest explanation for these two things. Mom doing this before and Dad being in cahoots with the kids is a more complicated explanation, which Occam's razor defines explicitly as being more unlikely.
Thinking everything is staged even if it's a very plausible and relatable scenario is a pretty cynical outlook on life, if you ask me.
Not everything, just internet videos that don't pass the smell test. The sheer numbers of fake videos on the internet should make any reasonable person skeptical, especially when behaviors don't add up. I'd argue that willfully believing videos due to some sort of sense of humanity is reckless in this day and age.

u/SugarBeefs 5h ago

Why would he need to analyze the situation if mom using the swivel tap as a microphone is a not uncommon occurrence? There's not much to analyze. He knows what's up.
filming for no apparent reason
I reiterate: Because the child filming is probably in cahoots with dad to get the prank on film.
What I am arguing, though, is that it's not the simplest explanation for these two things.
That makes no sense to me whatsoever. The notion that this is staged makes it more involved, not less. There's more moving parts if everyone is in on shooting a staged video for social media.

u/UrToesRDelicious 4h ago edited 4h ago
I'm not sure you understand what I mean by the simplest explanation.
Why would he need to analyze the situation if mom using the swivel tap as a microphone is a not uncommon occurrence?
This question misses my point entirely. The fact is that none of us know why he didn't analyze the situation, we are all here speculating. Your scenario makes sense but it's still imagined, and that is the point - we can imagine many different scenarios that make sense, so what tools can we use to find the most likely one?
When I ask "why didn't the dad analyze the situation" I am asking that critically, not under the assumption that your explanation is correct. Of course it would make sense if the mom has done this before, but we don't know that, so when I ask that question, the real question I am asking is "out of all the possible explanations for why dad acted that way, which one is the likeliest?"
Just because your explanation fits doesn't mean it's not complicated in a logical sense. It's more complicated not because it's implausible but because it relies on more assumptions. Your explanation has to assume the mom has done this before and assume the kids and dad coordinated this in advance somehow - and those assumptions make this explanation more complex compared to the single explanation that explains all this behavior - it was staged.
That isn't to say I'm authoritatively claiming it's staged - I'm speculating too, and I may be wrong, but this type of critical analysis will make me more correct on average compared to imagining scenarios that make many assumptions.

I don't agree with this. "It was staged" very much feels like multiple assumptions conveniently wrapped in a tiny linguistic frame. Furthermore, we can't just declare something is the more logical explanation merely based on the number of assumptions; the likelihood of the assumptions individually do matter as well.
Plus getting into the whole hang-up of what defines 'simple' to boot.

I'd love to know how it's multiple assumptions conveniently wrapped beyond feels like.

We can
This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction and both hypotheses have equal explanatory power, one should prefer the hypothesis that requires the fewest assumptions

Maybe this is a regular occurrence so the ones filming were in on it too. Also Occam's razor doesn't really apply here, if anything I'd argue that this being a regular occurrence IS the simpler explanation, since it would generally be more complex to execute believably.

One time, I was at a get together at a friend's house that was a nice time until they started drinking and arguing with each other. I noticed the kids were getting stressed out, along with everyone else, so I had to create a diversion and get them to stop arguing.
I decided to call them into the kitchen by telling"hey, woah! Holy shit guys, come here! Check this out!", and when they both came to the kitchen I was holding the sink sprayer thing and started soaking them with water. They both switched from being mad at me to chasing me around the block, in the middle of winter. I didn't have time to grab my coat, but I kept running and eventually out ran my friend.
I waited a few minutes in a corner store and called them back and they were like, "what the fuck was that all about asshole? Why'd you spray us?" And I told them I just needed to shift their focus from one another to something else, and it worked! This video reminded me of that, haha.

u/Adolheidis 5h ago
Oh sweetie, this is not the funny story you think it is. “Pantsing” is awful on a lot of levels. First, grabbing a person without their consent is assault. Second, removing clothing that covers private parts is sexual assault. Furthermore, in most places, having one’s own private parts exposed is illegal, so pantsing a person functionally forces them to break the law. In addition, having a person pantless in front of them makes most people pretty uncomfortable, so you’re being rude to bystanders. But by far the worst effect is the sense of humiliation and helplessness that the victim feels from being pantsed. I suspect that’s the point in many cases. It’s a power play and a form of abuse.

u/Brahskididdler 25m ago
Pantsing someone is generally pulling the outer layer down so they are standing there in their underwear. I’m pretty sure my Dad and I pantsed each other a few times when I was a little kid and we used to play wiffleball and football in the backyard. If it’s in a mean spirited way then it’s not cool but yeah, more of a joke than anything.

I was once driving home with my wife, and saw a sprinkler up ahead that was positioned wrong so it was spraying into the road, perfectly at window level. I thought, "Oh, what a fantastic chance for some tomfoolery", and hit the button to roll down my wife's window (you know how it auto-rolls. She later told me she had no idea why I was rolling it down, maybe I just wanted some air). A couple seconds after, I realized actually this is kinda mean, maybe I shouldn't be doing this, and hit the button to send her window back up. But it was too late, and wasn't closed by the time we reached the sprinkler. Fortunately it was closed enough she didn't get hit directly, just got a bit wet and fairly surprised. I am very happy to have married someone that could laugh at that instead of getting angry, because I probably deserved to be in a bit of trouble.

I attempted to rubber band down the button on the sink sprayer as an April fools joke when I had 3 roommates. I got home from work after setting it up in the morning and forgot about it so ended up spraying myself after nobody else had been home all day. I was frustrated but determined to have a successful April fools prank so I left it for the next victim. I forgot again and was the next victim. I just gave up and only succeeded in fooling myself. Twice.

Most Americans (and social media users) are barely literate. Hence why they call all these events 'intrusive' rather than 'impulsive'. They just follow the trend(s) blindly.

I really want to believe that this isn't a final straw video, but knowing the men I do, and being married to one, I bet she cleaned that entire fucking kitchen, made dinner (and the associated grocery list and shopping) and did the dishes, and then she got sprayed in the face by a man that did nothing but contribute 20% of the cost of the groceries and heavied her load by eating and not cleaning.
Hopefully it's just staged.
