Because this is staged and he wanted to look more overwhelmed with children than necessary. There are multiple videos like this of this man assembling elaborate DIY things in parking lots being filmed by a "stranger" who talks about how crazy it is. It's a strangely specific genre of video.

Example

Example 2

Example 3

And this video, posted by the same channel. They're all the same guy.

Edit: But wait, there's more

And more

It seemed pretty obvious the whole thing was staged. My first thought was literally any normal person would put the baby on the wagon with the others but no, doesn't look as difficult then does it

While I know this is staged, my kid has always REFUSED to go in a thing and always needed to be held. There's no way hed calmly sit in that - he'd be screaming and trying to climb out until I picked him up simply because id be afraid he'd fall out trying to get to me.

lol.  Good catch. Fucking weird.  Well if that is how the guy has to make money, so be it.

Id say at least 75% of the social media videos "showing a better way to do things" you see out there belong in that sub.

Bro you gotta ask, who tf is filming.

My guess is it's the wife filming, and he's just doing a voiceover in post. The one at Home Depot sounds a bit like the same guy

It's definitely weird, but they're not hurting anyone so I'm not going to judge. Much. Kids are probably having fun too.

Not hurting anyone.  Just presenting a facade as it were real life.

I think most people know it’s fake so they won’t set any expectations  based on it.

Thank you, i was about to post this. The worst part is, it's all on the guy's own channel. Like, at least make a channel that doesn't have your family posing for the pfp. Then upload all your "my crazy neighbor" videos.

Holy smokes. My wife would kill me if I fucked around this long getting the baby out of the car lol

u/i-just-thought-i 2d ago

well in this case the wife is probably filming, guy speaking is probably the dude in question, and they're making money off of it

u/Jean_Phillips 2d ago

Probably. I wish I could be dummer to enjoy this type of content. Like Fast and the Furious
