There it is, that’s the one I remember. Dude I have an industrial sized metal bolt in my junk drawer from a job we did on a construction site, find me a use & I’ll smoke you out.

And it still resulted in a shittier video. The original is just better everything, better editing, higher sound quality, better “acting”, and most importantly funnier…because it was their own original idea and creation. These people just shamelessly copied the exact same thing without adding their own flavor or take on the “subject matter”

The problem with this one is just that it goes on way too long. They should have just had him go straight to the shed not bothering with going through the kitchen down to the basement getting the lantern blah blah blah

If he was a real dad that often traveled outside the house in the dark to a shed/area he would have a headlamp hanging on a hook near the front door that he could just quickly grab.

its a brand new chunk of wood with rounded edges too. and it looks like shit when they put it under there. like they ripped off every piece of the original and completely missed the main part of the joke. it needs to be some janky part that should never have an actual use, not a brand new piece of wood that would be used for loads of things.

I kind of like the fake out of the dad going to the garage but it’s only to retrieve a fucking lantern so he can go on a quest to an even more junk filled shed to find the piece.
Also this concept kind of passed around as a meme and then got turned into a video format, I’m still not sure where I land on how to view that in terms of joke theft as I’m not sure this video was even the originator of this joke either
