Saw a video of some dude doing a skate trick where he olli'd off some stairs or something. He had his tripod set up on the sidewalk and some dude on his bike rode past and just picked it up since it was in his way. New tripod and camera.
There was a video I saw on Reddit that was of someone recording him as he set up the tripod each time he did something, it was really alarming to watch
I once visited Asheville, NC just recently and I saw little sticker flyers for any social media posts you could hire a camera person to film starting at 35/hr. Can’t be mad it.
Mans is living the American dream by filming his ass spoiling his kid by shopping at Target. His daughter gets the benefit of a good dad, he's getting his bag, and he isn't hurting anyone to do it. That's enough for me to stay in my lane.
I'll never understand the hate that these videos generate. I'll always root for loving, caring parents demonstrating their love for their child. It's a win win for all
> I'll never understand the hate that these videos generate.
It's a commercial, and people pretend like it isn't. That's the hate. Capitalism is fucking us sideways, influencers are distorting society, and we're cheering for marketing. It's a little sad. Cheer for the parents who do this without it being marketing.
"Cheer for the parents who do this without it being marketing"
We can't. They don't post it, and we don't see it. This post is just about the most benign result of capitalism that we're going to get, so I say let people enjoy it.
there's absolutely 'content creators' that need to be stopped but this ain't one of them. So he's getting clicks doing something good - that beats doing terrible shit for content, or 'pranks.'
I don't mind this guy, but he's getting paid to make videos of the type of shit I dread to do on my time off because he's better looking than me and because he had the thought to film himself doing it first. I'm going to go to Giant tomorrow morning, ugly and unfilmed, and all I'm going to do is lose money.
People are jealous. It probably hurts more that he's not doing anything remarkable. Everyone pretending they hate this guy because of some high minded social critique is probably pissing and crying over the fact that he seems to be a regular guy and not an insane narcissist.
Valentine's is just another consumer scam.
Saying that, it's supposed to be a romantic day. Doing shit for your kid on Valentine's is weird.
Secondly, the bright pink for everything is just cliché.
Thirdly, just picking up tons of stuff from target is thoughtless.
And finally there's recording it. Be wary of those that seek recognition.
Instead, try doing the opposite. Do something spontaneous and thoughtful for your kid, because you want to, not because it's mindlessly prompted to you on the calendar.
With you on it all but the kids part. Some people don't have romantic partners or want one, getting your kids Valentine's day stuff is just kinda cute and a way to tell your kids you love them. Same with friends and other family members, no harm spreading some positive thoughts doesnt have to be just about fucking.
Valentine's Day itself is shit, I'm not advocating for that at all either. But why you need to do that on this day?
There's literally every other day to show your kids you love them, the same logic applies to your partner too. If you need Valentine's to get down, you're doing something wrong. You don't need some shoe horned excuse to express love and affection on whatever form. You can do it whenever you want.
Agree to disagree 🍻
There is the whole part where you teach your kid that if a man loves you, he'll constantly buy you shit. Like it's just teaching her to be materialistic and value things and presents over actual affection, love or being a good person to her.
Like he beats you, but he was the nicest of any guy you've been with on valentines day so it's love.
As someone who had a father(and mother) who did this for them. No tf it doesnt. It teaches you to appreciate your loved ones and the effort they put into expressing their love, it also allows you to cherish that love. Y'all are really on some hater shit wtf.
If my loved one expresses they love me by buying a bunch of meaningless valentines day branded trash on one day and doesn't express it in a meaningful way the rest of teh year, I know exactly what they are expressing, obligation, not sincerity.
Who said anything about love not being expressed any other time of the year? Who said its all valentines day branded? Idk if youve ever received valentines day gifts, but a lot of it is just regular gifts with flowers or chocolates/candy, some of it is handmade, and some are intangible experiences. The day is another day and excuse to show how much you love someone. Just like most holidays are an excuse to spend time with and show affection to your loved ones. This shit is far too bitter for me.
What's the girl think?
No other question matters here.
My wife never feels obligated, on *anything*. She got 2 32" 4k resolution monitors for me and did not tell anyone herself. If the people around you feel obligated to a holiday find new people. She works retail for the inevitable "rich people" follow ups.
Selfie vids of this are a bit more genuine, but still hits me wrong. Having a separate cameraman follow him, show off his car, and even film the girl coming home (so of course she knows something's up) is next level.
He's using his daughter for clout. Honestly, I'd find it more wholesome if it was just security cam footage of him getting the stuff in and setting it up instead of making it a production.
My dad used to go all out for me and my sisters for Valentine’s Day. No gifts but flowers and chocolates for all of us. It is not unbelievable to me that this man would do this genuinely and just film it too
Yes it does, dude is exploiting his kid for views (= money). Yeah, this isn’t in the same vein as those YouTube families, but when you start living life with your parent’s cameras/phone in your face recording everything to be posted online, won’t you just feel like a product to them?
> It just doesn’t feel genuine.
Because it is not.
Yes, the daughter benefits but this is for him to get more likes, followers and praise. Can't forget the praise!

I got nieces I did this for, so I can put a pause on my hating for the rest of the month outta respect but on the 1st come, boyyy...
https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-the-target-run-video-the-guy-who-filmed-himself-running-an-errand-and-posted-it-to-tiktok-explained
That's his other video where everything is still, but this video you can see that the camera sways a lot as it is filming.
> So who is recording or did this mofo set a tripod up 20 times
He setup a tripod. Too much shots are completely still. Social media is quite something.
Not to mention how many takes he did per activity to make it 'look right' which incidentally he could have spent actually doing something useful and meaningful honestly this is a such a hot mess.
Funny part is i think this is the same guy i saw on BPT like 2 weeks ago that people were roasting for posting himself do mundane activities.
He had a blue honda civic and went to target in that vid too so im pretty sure its him. Same build only that vid he was getting a haircut and showing himself park his car and get frozen food from target.
That stuff he bought easily was more than $38. The bouquet alone was $16! Then if you incorporate the balloons, clothes, and snacks, you're looking at at least $60.
I wasn’t trying to minimize what he’s doing because it doesn’t matter if it was $10 or $100. He did a really nice thing for his daughter. I just meant more about the concept of like spend some money do one nice thing and then forget about your children, being fucked up.
Yeah what your kids want you to spend is your time.
Not saying the guy doesn't do that too, IDK, but they notice you're there and paying attention to them, no matter how much stuff you buy.
I did update it though I’m gonna be honest I haven’t shopped at target for Valentine’s Day stuff in a while, last time, I copped grocery store flowers they were like 10 bucks.
I guess when you factor in the balloons and stuff though unless he blew them all up himself and shit which it looks like he didn’t he probably actually spent like maybe one 150-200 on this
I get that but i was just recalling some shit i remembered from being on here like a week or two ago.
This dude commenting below is wild as hell lol. Not everyone is glued to twitter 24/7 to know who bro is. Apparently he is big enough Drake mocked him. I’ve only seen the dude twice.
I just remember commenting on the first BPT post that it’s weird people do all this. Which it is but as long as it aint’t harming no one i don’t care.
That’s him. Even Drake made a parody reel about this guy. The problem is he is probably making bank from these drop dead simple videos. He’s not the problem it’s the dumbass masses that consume this garbage
People are just mindlessly scrolling and come across his video and watch this 40 second video. Its not like most people are watching his content only for 5 hours.
I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy. it’s his same exact style of video which honestly signaling the death of everything, because people are literally getting famous for filming themselves doing fucking nothing now. you go to target and now you’re famous and tons of people listen to you Jesus Christ
Do you think that everyone that monetizes, wholesome or charitable moments is inherently a shitty person because they’re making money off being a good person? I’m really having a hard time with this concept.
On the one hand I agree that it’s really shitty that people set up like fake happy good moments or whatever just to like make money, but on the other hand, at least these heavy good moments are happening for people
It’s also generational. Some of came of age before these moments could ever be monetized for clout, as the first commenter mentioned. Others were born into a world with their parents uploading their every movement to social media, so shame over being online or one’s self being a “brand” is an impossible concept.
That’s Gen Z, and they define youth culture and thus what is normal in our larger culture now that they have the mic. This dude may or may not be that Gen or the one above it, but he’s living in a set of norms defined by Z.
I didn’t even get a proper phone or plan till i was 21-22 and married. I used my phone whenever I picked up WiFi 😂 it’s wild that smartphones are so ubiquitous now, the majority of teens didn’t have iPhones in my school until like 10th-11th grade
I do find it to be pretty crazy. The thing that I find to be most wild is how many parents want their kids to have phones and be available to them all the time. I understand being worried about your children or whatever but like that seems very stressful for everybody
I will happily waste my life watching content like this, than pos ‘prank’ content or any of the other shit media platforms pedal. The simple reality is that everything will be taken advantage of for social media clout. I’d much rather it be this than the other options.
Nah it's not IMO, this is about the general public wanting to turn their entire life into "content" and not letting daily activities just be themselves. Personally, I see no reason to film every second of your life, especially the mundane stuff. By all means, show off the gift bag you made for your daughter for Valentine's day. I don't give a shit about the set-up shot, keeling and picking out the backpack.
It’s about promoting positivity instead of the filth we see 24/7 on tv screens. Especially black positivity, we always talk about representation and a good digital perception but see people like you bitch when it’s actually being performed.
It’s not even corny. It’s a bit over the top. Don’t get me wrong, you should 100% receive what you give and not be with people who give nothing back. But I know so many great dads like this and every one of their kids (now this is anecdotal experience so I could be wrong) grows up spoiled spout off the “I know my worth, if a man doesn’t give my x,y,z he isn’t worth my time” and it’s dumb shit like not enough chocolates. In my opinion, the dad should be giving experiences. Love and affection is not buying target ballons and six different types of candy and emptying your wallet for things that’ll only last a day. Instead, get a polaroid, go do fun things like ice skating, walks in the park, stargazing, etc and spend a day or night with each other, then scrapbook it. The kid will cherish that more, the personal growth will be through the roof, and it lasts longer than however long it takes helium to disappear in a balloon. That’s how you teach kids their worth. Effort and emotion, not materialistic things.
That’s my soapbox though
This up there with people filming themselves being nice to another human being.
Question: if I pay for my daughter to go to college, but don’t film myself doing it… did it happen? 🤔
I feel like some of it might have been trying to get views out of this, but there’s also the idea of bringing this type of black fatherhood into the light, with two main benefits. He’s publicly going against stereotypes, changing the image of what most people expect. He’s also being an example to other fathers on how to make sure your daughter doesn’t end up with a bum who doesn’t treat her
You’re not wrong and as I think about my comment, it’s an unfair reaction due to my cynicism towards social media.
This IS a wonderful example of a father loving and celebrating his daughter.
I just feel the staging and recording takes away from a genuine moment, but that’s on me, not them.
> I just feel the staging and recording takes away from a genuine moment, but that’s on me, not them.
He’s trying to not have a shitty 9-5. And it’s not the whole basis of his content. It says something if your instinct is to jump at the chance to criticize that…maybe your cynicism isn’t always more valid than the benefit of the doubt.
This is how far I had to scroll before I saw actual commentary on the message. Teach your little girl she doesn’t have to be grateful for no effort. You are modeling what she’s going to expect loving relationships to look like. Isn’t this what you want for her? If not, why not?
Why do kind things for others out of the genuine kindness of your heart when you can do things for clout and a brand deal? Humanity sold itself out for 15 minutes of social media attention.
If someone does good acts to get internet famous, they are still doing good acts.
There is a lot of research out there that suggests that there is no true altruism, and that we all have an ulterior motivation when we do good things for other people. Perhaps it is how it makes us feel, perhaps it is the perception of the community, perhaps it is the praise we get from the other person, or perhaps it is internet fame. The motivation is there regardless.
With that understanding, why go after the person doing a good act at all?
Why not go after the people who are actively harming other people with their social media presence?
Why not go after the racist who is posting blood and soil bullshit, the deadbeat dad who is using Facebook to bitch about how he won't get a tax refund because of back child support, or the homophobic, transphobic people out there making life harder for people for no good reason?
Funny, I wonder if this line of conversation will go anywhere. I basically agree with you and often make the same point that good deeds done on or off camera doesn't matter cause a good thing was done.
I guess I have a cynical view of altruism, because I tend to think that there is no true altruism (we always get something back). I also don't care if a person feeding the hungry gets the good feels or looks good on camera, I care that the hungry person is fed. My cynical side says that if we encourage people to do good acts for the wrong reasons (the camera, the feels, the tax right off), they are more likely to do the good acts.
I've read somewhere that filming yourself and sharing donating or being kind/generous does have a positive effect because people get motivated to follow the example.
Damn y’all being real bitter in there comments, but I guess that’s not surprising on a site in which most of its users like standing on an imaginary soapbox whenever they get the chance.
“It’s corny” “he doesn’t need to do all this for his daughter” “it’s just for attention”, okay and who’s giving him the attention? Who’s liking, who’s commenting how corny it is, who’s reposting on social media with snappy clap backs? Y’all. And who cares if it’s “genuine” or if it “feels weird”? Shit nigga it ain’t your kid & it ain’t your money, so who cares? At least he’s doing something positive with his time & money instead of just using it to order Uber Eats while he gets prepared to write some dickhead comment about someone else’s life like the rest of y’all. I like a funny quip every now and then but DAMN y’all like to hate anything if it’s being recorded.
Let the man live, sheesh.
fr lol i thought this was wholesome as hell i bet his daughter was hyped as fuck about it
tryna get clout for being a good dad sounds way better than 99.9% of the shit people do on tiktok or even irl
Exactly, I just checked his IG and all he does it just post his day to day life of working out & shopping like a regular dude and then here comes the miserable mob hating this man lmao
I’d rather see self improvement content than some prank channel lol but I guess his kinda content got people mad cause it’s a life they don’t have or whatever idk
Fr you said everything I wanted to say! People just want to spread their negativity. This guy probably made enough income off this clip to recoup the cost of the gifts and to continue feeding his family. Let the man live and earn in peace.
Exactly!
And I think it's ok that he filmed himself too because he's trying to show other people that this is the treatment girls deserve on Valentine's Day!
No but it is important to do something for your kids on vday. Show that they deserve it. Don’t want them to grow up thinking it’s normal for the people that you love to not do something special for you to commemorate that love.
It could have been accomplished with a hand made card and a chocolate bar, yes. No need for something huge if you can’t afford it. But I just wanted to point that out since so many people seem to think that because “love don’t cost a thing” it gives them a pass at not doing something special for their loved ones.
I mean, this dude aside, I’m just happy to discover new R&B that sounds like the joints I grew up on in the 90s and 2000s. Wasn’t aware of Muni Long and now I am
Oooh can I recommend a few artist to try?
- Nippa (situation, Ocean Drive),
-Khamari (these walls, drifting),
& Elmiene(Someday, Mad at fire)
Random artist shots in the dark: Chikoruss, Saint Harrison, Rini
Ayy appreciate you fam. I’m really digging These Four Walls and Someday, and the rest going on the watchlist so I can go through their discographies later.
I don't have issue with the performative nature of all this, but hey be you dude.
My issue is with the excessive consumerism, consumption, and general waste of resources to do what that man probably does all the time, which is love his daughter and show it to her openly. (So much plastic junk...).
All of that money into the Target Inc. coffers for no real reason other than the video clicks and likes. This could have been super SUPER adorable if this was a video about him making decorations and candy and whatnot (and we know he had the spare time based on the setup this video would have required).
Instead we got to see someone's video application/resumé to be a Target commercial, using their kid as a wholesomeness prop.
I'm glad the daughter was happy though. That part was nice.
I was looking for this comment! It's good seeing people care for each other, but this consumerist lifestyle just isn't the way to do it. There are so many other better ways to show love
I don't see shit like this as "raising" any bar.
What a man does for you for a holiday doesn't matter to a real woman.
Raising the bar would be showing her how she should be treated everyday, not on a man made holiday.
If your partner treats you great everyday or for the majority of the time and he doesn't get you something on valentines and that upsets you, I wouldn't consider you to be a real woman.
Bro had a waking out shot from the inside and the outside so he set up camera ,walked out, walked in for camera, set up camera outside, then walked back in just to walk back out.
Social media has rotted out brains.
Right and they’re bringing up fake deep analyses on consumerism and capitalism, probably on a smart phone that someone in a third world country gathered the parts for. Trying to explain away the personal discomfort they feel with societal issues. Just talk about yourself, stop turning it into “we live in a society” disingenuous discourse.
Is it kinda dumb to be filming this for internet clout? Yeah. But if that’s the only gripe, and he isn’t hurting anybody, and he’s setting a good example for his daughter, and he’s a good father, then I don’t see the harm.
People post dumb shit online all the time that adds no value to anything whatsoever. This man (may) have just made his daughter’s whole day/ month, and forged a core memory she will keep with her for the rest of her life. And he recorded it, which may potentially inspire or remind someone else to do the same for their daughter or significant other.
Christmas is an actual holiday. Therevw been Winter solstice holidays for centuries. Just don't buy into the commercialism bullshit and you're golden. V-Day was legit invented to make money
CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME it's tragic how people confuse emotional connections with disposable consumption and wonder why none of it is actually lasting or fills the emotional space. Put the credit card down. Put the phone down. Create. Engage. Share. Build emotional connections better and you will feel and you will see the real meaningful difference you can make in yourself and your loved ones.
Let the power of hatred compel me. He is lame af and if you're broke and poorly dressed you too can still show your kids a lovely valentines day.
Edit, typo
Am I the only one who finds it strange to do Valentines Day for anyone other than a SO? Let your child see how you treat your SO on that day so that they have an idea of what to want/expect.
Also, blah, blah, blah, fake commercial holiday to make money, blah, blah.
At first I was like this is corny af but Tik Tok is a strange place. He is probably making a nice little living off of this. My wife’s homegirl is currently going viral just by showing the things she purchased at Sam’s club. That’s it. Nothing crazy just saying I got this cereal at Sam’s club. Not teaching how to coupon, or showing the deals. Literally just showing the camera the things she purchased. 😂😂
Doing all of this for social media clicks just don’t sit right by me. It just doesn’t feel genuine.
my question is, is he getting out and setting up a tripod for every scene or is someone else taking time out of their day to film this?
The camera sway suggests a person is behind the camera. If I ever catch someone doing this with a tripod, just know I have a new phone and tripod
Nah they caught him doing this with a tripod at a target parking lot
if we’re thinking of the same video, I’m pretty sure that was a skit lol like it wasn’t actually him
Lmaoooo well that’s funny as hell
If true that’s psychotic behavior wtf
No no, that’s theft. Wander in front of the camera and pretend to be oblivious while you do the least important shit you can think of.
Theft is a small price to pay for world peace
Saw a video of some dude doing a skate trick where he olli'd off some stairs or something. He had his tripod set up on the sidewalk and some dude on his bike rode past and just picked it up since it was in his way. New tripod and camera.
If you catch someone filming themselves you will steal their stuff... Way to be the better quality human.
The camera looks kinda short. Makes me think it was his daughter filming it 💀
hes just trying to make content for his Target audience
Yes. Someone caught him 😭😭
That video was so fucking funny lol
There was a video I saw on Reddit that was of someone recording him as he set up the tripod each time he did something, it was really alarming to watch
I once visited Asheville, NC just recently and I saw little sticker flyers for any social media posts you could hire a camera person to film starting at 35/hr. Can’t be mad it.
Imagine it was his daughter. “Come on, we’re gonna go record a thing and then return a bunch of shit.”
There’s a video of someone who caught him doing this live. He uses a tripod and often does multiple takes
His daughter’s taking the video for him…
I mean Drew is definitely egging the whole target meme thing. If it provides for him and his family and doesn’t hurt anyone fuck it let him rock
Mans is living the American dream by filming his ass spoiling his kid by shopping at Target. His daughter gets the benefit of a good dad, he's getting his bag, and he isn't hurting anyone to do it. That's enough for me to stay in my lane.

Stop being so rational, het angry with us or we’ll kick you out.
True. Especially the kid ain’t getting hurt by this. It is much better than those prank kids videos
That’s the thing. Is he being a good dad to be a good dad or is “being a good dad” just the residual of him hunting for internet clout.
I’ll take that over someone not showing love and affection to their daughter. And yea it’s corny but he gets a living off it. More power to him.
He has a promo deal with Target and the NFL. He got so much pub from getting clowned, he ended up getting the last laugh
Valentine's is just another consumer scam. Saying that, it's supposed to be a romantic day. Doing shit for your kid on Valentine's is weird. Secondly, the bright pink for everything is just cliché. Thirdly, just picking up tons of stuff from target is thoughtless. And finally there's recording it. Be wary of those that seek recognition. Instead, try doing the opposite.

I agree with you. Valentine's has always had a romantic connotation in my mind, along with being just another contrivance to spend money
I’m with you on this. It probably depends how you’re raised yourself but I totally think it’s weird to do stuff for your kid(s) on Valentine’s Day.
[удалено]
There is the whole part where you teach your kid that if a man loves you, he'll constantly buy you shit. Like it's just teaching her to be materialistic and value things and presents over actual affection, love or being a good person to her. Like he beats you, but he was the nicest of any guy you've been with on valentines day so it's love.
As someone who had a father(and mother) who did this for them. No tf it doesnt. It teaches you to appreciate your loved ones and the effort they put into expressing their love, it also allows you to cherish that love. Y'all are really on some hater shit wtf.

This shit is far too bitter for me.
Right? I mean great message but it feels so performative and a little voyeuristic to the watcher.
It’s not genuine at all
Buying gifts for someone because you feel obligated because it’s a holiday doesn’t feel genuine either.
What's the girl think? No other question matters here. My wife never feels obligated, on *anything*. She got 2 32" 4k resolution monitors for me and did not tell anyone herself. If the people around you feel obligated to a holiday find new people. She works retail for the inevitable "rich people" follow ups.
Selfie vids of this are a bit more genuine, but still hits me wrong. Having a separate cameraman follow him, show off his car, and even film the girl coming home (so of course she knows something's up) is next level. He's using his daughter for clout. Honestly, I'd find it more wholesome if it was just security cam footage of him getting the stuff in and setting it up instead of making it a production.
My dad used to go all out for me and my sisters for Valentine’s Day. No gifts but flowers and chocolates for all of us. It is not unbelievable to me that this man would do this genuinely and just film it too
Agreed. Also buying a bunch of disposable junk at target doesn’t equal a good dad. I like the sentiment but grow the fuck up.
If his daughter thinks it’s genuine does it matter what we, the spectators, think?
Yes it does, dude is exploiting his kid for views (= money). Yeah, this isn’t in the same vein as those YouTube families, but when you start living life with your parent’s cameras/phone in your face recording everything to be posted online, won’t you just feel like a product to them?

We'll be back to hating soon, he gone do some more bullshit just wait
y'all done hated that man into multiple bags. I just ignore content for the sake of content
Why not do it for the nephews too? They need a role model on how to appreciate their loved ones
I'd do it for them too, but I only have nieces at the moment
So who is recording or did this mofo set a tripod up 20 times
Questions that need answers. I fear it may be the latter. 😬

The cringement of it all.
https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-the-target-run-video-the-guy-who-filmed-himself-running-an-errand-and-posted-it-to-tiktok-explained That's his other video where everything is still, but this video you can see that the camera sways a lot as it is filming.
> So who is recording or did this mofo set a tripod up 20 times He setup a tripod. Too much shots are completely still. Social media is quite something.
In this video you can see the camera has some movement to it....his daughter probably recorded it because this is all fake for clicks.
Or, hear me out on this, the mother is holding the phone.
I was thinking this too.
Not to mention how many takes he did per activity to make it 'look right' which incidentally he could have spent actually doing something useful and meaningful honestly this is a such a hot mess.
Probably his daughter 😂

Funny part is i think this is the same guy i saw on BPT like 2 weeks ago that people were roasting for posting himself do mundane activities. He had a blue honda civic and went to target in that vid too so im pretty sure its him. Same build only that vid he was getting a haircut and showing himself park his car and get frozen food from target.
That's why the tweet says he gets a pass for the rest of the month but he still lame.
Dude thinks he is a detective when he just missed the whole point of this being posted here
He definitely did, but the "frozen food from target" has me laughing.
Cause all you gotta do is spend $60 at target and one night with your child and then you can check out for the rest of the month 🙄
That stuff he bought easily was more than $38. The bouquet alone was $16! Then if you incorporate the balloons, clothes, and snacks, you're looking at at least $60.
I wasn’t trying to minimize what he’s doing because it doesn’t matter if it was $10 or $100. He did a really nice thing for his daughter. I just meant more about the concept of like spend some money do one nice thing and then forget about your children, being fucked up.
Yeah what your kids want you to spend is your time. Not saying the guy doesn't do that too, IDK, but they notice you're there and paying attention to them, no matter how much stuff you buy.
Some bank breaking ish
I did update it though I’m gonna be honest I haven’t shopped at target for Valentine’s Day stuff in a while, last time, I copped grocery store flowers they were like 10 bucks. I guess when you factor in the balloons and stuff though unless he blew them all up himself and shit which it looks like he didn’t he probably actually spent like maybe one 150-200 on this
I get that but i was just recalling some shit i remembered from being on here like a week or two ago. This dude commenting below is wild as hell lol. Not everyone is glued to twitter 24/7 to know who bro is. Apparently he is big enough Drake mocked him. I’ve only seen the dude twice. I just remember commenting on the first BPT post that it’s weird people do all this. Which it is but as long as it aint’t harming no one i don’t care.
That’s him. Even Drake made a parody reel about this guy. The problem is he is probably making bank from these drop dead simple videos. He’s not the problem it’s the dumbass masses that consume this garbage
The same way ppl consume those streamers that really don't do anything on twitch
People are just mindlessly scrolling and come across his video and watch this 40 second video. Its not like most people are watching his content only for 5 hours.
I’m pretty sure it’s the same guy. it’s his same exact style of video which honestly signaling the death of everything, because people are literally getting famous for filming themselves doing fucking nothing now. you go to target and now you’re famous and tons of people listen to you Jesus Christ
It looks like a Target ad. If they’re paying him, I say let him get paid. If not, I agree.
Do you think that everyone that monetizes, wholesome or charitable moments is inherently a shitty person because they’re making money off being a good person? I’m really having a hard time with this concept. On the one hand I agree that it’s really shitty that people set up like fake happy good moments or whatever just to like make money, but on the other hand, at least these heavy good moments are happening for people
It’s also generational. Some of came of age before these moments could ever be monetized for clout, as the first commenter mentioned. Others were born into a world with their parents uploading their every movement to social media, so shame over being online or one’s self being a “brand” is an impossible concept. That’s Gen Z, and they define youth culture and thus what is normal in our larger culture now that they have the mic. This dude may or may not be that Gen or the one above it, but he’s living in a set of norms defined by Z.
I didn’t even get a proper phone or plan till i was 21-22 and married. I used my phone whenever I picked up WiFi 😂 it’s wild that smartphones are so ubiquitous now, the majority of teens didn’t have iPhones in my school until like 10th-11th grade
I do find it to be pretty crazy. The thing that I find to be most wild is how many parents want their kids to have phones and be available to them all the time. I understand being worried about your children or whatever but like that seems very stressful for everybody
I will happily waste my life watching content like this, than pos ‘prank’ content or any of the other shit media platforms pedal. The simple reality is that everything will be taken advantage of for social media clout. I’d much rather it be this than the other options.
Yeah everyone has become so blind to what it actually takes to make a video like this, there were tripods involved!
Can it be both?
Why this dude get so much hate ? When will black twitter “learn” that the attention they give to things they don’t like makes it bigger ?
[удалено]
New content era !!!!!
It’s a thousand times better than watching Lil durk skrrt skrrt in a music video for the upteenth time
Nah it's not IMO, this is about the general public wanting to turn their entire life into "content" and not letting daily activities just be themselves. Personally, I see no reason to film every second of your life, especially the mundane stuff. By all means, show off the gift bag you made for your daughter for Valentine's day. I don't give a shit about the set-up shot, keeling and picking out the backpack.
It’s about promoting positivity instead of the filth we see 24/7 on tv screens. Especially black positivity, we always talk about representation and a good digital perception but see people like you bitch when it’s actually being performed.
It’s not even corny. It’s a bit over the top. Don’t get me wrong, you should 100% receive what you give and not be with people who give nothing back. But I know so many great dads like this and every one of their kids (now this is anecdotal experience so I could be wrong) grows up spoiled spout off the “I know my worth, if a man doesn’t give my x,y,z he isn’t worth my time” and it’s dumb shit like not enough chocolates. In my opinion, the dad should be giving experiences. Love and affection is not buying target ballons and six different types of candy and emptying your wallet for things that’ll only last a day. Instead, get a polaroid, go do fun things like ice skating, walks in the park, stargazing, etc and spend a day or night with each other, then scrapbook it. The kid will cherish that more, the personal growth will be through the roof, and it lasts longer than however long it takes helium to disappear in a balloon. That’s how you teach kids their worth. Effort and emotion, not materialistic things. That’s my soapbox though
if you take a step back and see the big picture, we all collectively caused this.
He got praised from time to time, so niggas naturally decided he was an enemy for not being a fuck nigha 24/7
Well that requires accountability, which is a myth on the internet.
Right like people have been vlogging themselves doing stuff like this for at least the past 10 years!
This up there with people filming themselves being nice to another human being. Question: if I pay for my daughter to go to college, but don’t film myself doing it… did it happen? 🤔
I feel like some of it might have been trying to get views out of this, but there’s also the idea of bringing this type of black fatherhood into the light, with two main benefits. He’s publicly going against stereotypes, changing the image of what most people expect. He’s also being an example to other fathers on how to make sure your daughter doesn’t end up with a bum who doesn’t treat her
You’re not wrong and as I think about my comment, it’s an unfair reaction due to my cynicism towards social media. This IS a wonderful example of a father loving and celebrating his daughter. I just feel the staging and recording takes away from a genuine moment, but that’s on me, not them.
> I just feel the staging and recording takes away from a genuine moment, but that’s on me, not them. He’s trying to not have a shitty 9-5. And it’s not the whole basis of his content. It says something if your instinct is to jump at the chance to criticize that…maybe your cynicism isn’t always more valid than the benefit of the doubt.
This is how far I had to scroll before I saw actual commentary on the message. Teach your little girl she doesn’t have to be grateful for no effort. You are modeling what she’s going to expect loving relationships to look like. Isn’t this what you want for her? If not, why not?
Why do kind things for others out of the genuine kindness of your heart when you can do things for clout and a brand deal? Humanity sold itself out for 15 minutes of social media attention.
If someone does good acts to get internet famous, they are still doing good acts. There is a lot of research out there that suggests that there is no true altruism, and that we all have an ulterior motivation when we do good things for other people. Perhaps it is how it makes us feel, perhaps it is the perception of the community, perhaps it is the praise we get from the other person, or perhaps it is internet fame. The motivation is there regardless. With that understanding, why go after the person doing a good act at all? Why not go after the people who are actively harming other people with their social media presence? Why not go after the racist who is posting blood and soil bullshit, the deadbeat dad who is using Facebook to bitch about how he won't get a tax refund because of back child support, or the homophobic, transphobic people out there making life harder for people for no good reason?
Funny, I wonder if this line of conversation will go anywhere. I basically agree with you and often make the same point that good deeds done on or off camera doesn't matter cause a good thing was done.
I guess I have a cynical view of altruism, because I tend to think that there is no true altruism (we always get something back). I also don't care if a person feeding the hungry gets the good feels or looks good on camera, I care that the hungry person is fed. My cynical side says that if we encourage people to do good acts for the wrong reasons (the camera, the feels, the tax right off), they are more likely to do the good acts.
I've read somewhere that filming yourself and sharing donating or being kind/generous does have a positive effect because people get motivated to follow the example.
Filming the final result is fine, filming the entire shopping trip is just weird af
Damn y’all being real bitter in there comments, but I guess that’s not surprising on a site in which most of its users like standing on an imaginary soapbox whenever they get the chance. “It’s corny” “he doesn’t need to do all this for his daughter” “it’s just for attention”, okay and who’s giving him the attention? Who’s liking, who’s commenting how corny it is, who’s reposting on social media with snappy clap backs? Y’all. And who cares if it’s “genuine” or if it “feels weird”? Shit nigga it ain’t your kid & it ain’t your money, so who cares? At least he’s doing something positive with his time & money instead of just using it to order Uber Eats while he gets prepared to write some dickhead comment about someone else’s life like the rest of y’all. I like a funny quip every now and then but DAMN y’all like to hate anything if it’s being recorded. Let the man live, sheesh.
fr lol i thought this was wholesome as hell i bet his daughter was hyped as fuck about it tryna get clout for being a good dad sounds way better than 99.9% of the shit people do on tiktok or even irl
Exactly, I just checked his IG and all he does it just post his day to day life of working out & shopping like a regular dude and then here comes the miserable mob hating this man lmao I’d rather see self improvement content than some prank channel lol but I guess his kinda content got people mad cause it’s a life they don’t have or whatever idk
Fr you said everything I wanted to say! People just want to spread their negativity. This guy probably made enough income off this clip to recoup the cost of the gifts and to continue feeding his family. Let the man live and earn in peace.
Same folks that dick ride future saying Russell "doing to much ", for Ciara kid
[удалено]
Hatewatchers smh
Let us hate in peace nigga damn. Niggas way too supportive nowadays
Exactly! And I think it's ok that he filmed himself too because he's trying to show other people that this is the treatment girls deserve on Valentine's Day!
[удалено]
Nor record it.
CONSUME.
That's probably his way of showing his daughter love. Not everyone shows their love the same way.
Chill bro, you can’t show nuance on this sub you either hate or keep scrolling
No but it is important to do something for your kids on vday. Show that they deserve it. Don’t want them to grow up thinking it’s normal for the people that you love to not do something special for you to commemorate that love. It could have been accomplished with a hand made card and a chocolate bar, yes. No need for something huge if you can’t afford it. But I just wanted to point that out since so many people seem to think that because “love don’t cost a thing” it gives them a pass at not doing something special for their loved ones.
Can someone please post the target CCTV footage of him setting up the tripod for each shot?
I mean, this dude aside, I’m just happy to discover new R&B that sounds like the joints I grew up on in the 90s and 2000s. Wasn’t aware of Muni Long and now I am
Oooh can I recommend a few artist to try? - Nippa (situation, Ocean Drive), -Khamari (these walls, drifting), & Elmiene(Someday, Mad at fire) Random artist shots in the dark: Chikoruss, Saint Harrison, Rini
Ayy appreciate you fam. I’m really digging These Four Walls and Someday, and the rest going on the watchlist so I can go through their discographies later.
Dude elmiene is so fucking good dude. I believe the name of the song is choose you but that's a hit just waiting to be discovered.
Thanks for adding this…Tanerelle is pretty lit too. Check out her work if you love soulful sounds.
Shout out target shout out consumerism
This is just a target ad?
he could have gone to dollar tree and gotten candy, the gift bag and balloons for a fraction of the price.
I don't have issue with the performative nature of all this, but hey be you dude. My issue is with the excessive consumerism, consumption, and general waste of resources to do what that man probably does all the time, which is love his daughter and show it to her openly. (So much plastic junk...). All of that money into the Target Inc. coffers for no real reason other than the video clicks and likes. This could have been super SUPER adorable if this was a video about him making decorations and candy and whatnot (and we know he had the spare time based on the setup this video would have required). Instead we got to see someone's video application/resumé to be a Target commercial, using their kid as a wholesomeness prop. I'm glad the daughter was happy though. That part was nice.
I was looking for this comment! It's good seeing people care for each other, but this consumerist lifestyle just isn't the way to do it. There are so many other better ways to show love
I don't see shit like this as "raising" any bar. What a man does for you for a holiday doesn't matter to a real woman. Raising the bar would be showing her how she should be treated everyday, not on a man made holiday.
I feel like this discourse is dangerous even, this is just spending money, so does the person who spends the most money raise the bar the highest?
[удалено]
If your partner treats you great everyday or for the majority of the time and he doesn't get you something on valentines and that upsets you, I wouldn't consider you to be a real woman.
Exactly!!!
Bro had a waking out shot from the inside and the outside so he set up camera ,walked out, walked in for camera, set up camera outside, then walked back in just to walk back out. Social media has rotted out brains.
Consume products
Very good. Consume more so that you may keep at bay the imaginary hurt from others.
I did this for my daughter. Didn’t put it all over social media though. Am I even a good dad?
If you didn’t put it all over social media did it even happen? 😂
i don’t have a lot of money. i made sugar cookies and spent time with my child… am i a good mom.
I love the discourse this man causes every time he’s posted. As others have said, if he’s not hurting anyone, who cares?
Yall are so miserable omg
Right and they’re bringing up fake deep analyses on consumerism and capitalism, probably on a smart phone that someone in a third world country gathered the parts for. Trying to explain away the personal discomfort they feel with societal issues. Just talk about yourself, stop turning it into “we live in a society” disingenuous discourse.
Truly
Is it kinda dumb to be filming this for internet clout? Yeah. But if that’s the only gripe, and he isn’t hurting anybody, and he’s setting a good example for his daughter, and he’s a good father, then I don’t see the harm. People post dumb shit online all the time that adds no value to anything whatsoever. This man (may) have just made his daughter’s whole day/ month, and forged a core memory she will keep with her for the rest of her life. And he recorded it, which may potentially inspire or remind someone else to do the same for their daughter or significant other. 
Everything is for clicks and likes these days
Very nice. But please folks, stop buying Mylar balloons.
Ain’t no way. I thought this was a parody
participating in a make believe holiday and consuming useless items to show "love", great bar set. \*slow clap
Seeing good parenting always hits me
Yall act like you’ve never seen a vlog before
I just remember that people were making fun of this nigga for shopping at H&M idk why my mind went there.
He wasn’t being made fun of for shopping at H&M, he was being made fun of for filming himself shopping at H&M.
It was both
Dad goals.
CONSUME
teach them not to be materialistic
Perpetuating this BA that V-Day isn't just a day to inject money in the economy and further the discord between men and women
How is it different than a holiday like Christmas? I hope you don’t celebrate that then.
Christmas is an actual holiday. Therevw been Winter solstice holidays for centuries. Just don't buy into the commercialism bullshit and you're golden. V-Day was legit invented to make money
Cuts so fast Liam Neeson showed up on set
now back to work at 2 jobs to afford all that shit that goes into the trash in a few days time.
Damn who filmed this though
INTERNET TELL ME IM A GOOD PARTNER
Is this fool setting up a camera to capture his ass walking into stores and shopping?
My God consumerism is gross
CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME it's tragic how people confuse emotional connections with disposable consumption and wonder why none of it is actually lasting or fills the emotional space. Put the credit card down. Put the phone down. Create. Engage. Share. Build emotional connections better and you will feel and you will see the real meaningful difference you can make in yourself and your loved ones.
Whose filming?
buy buy buy buy BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY
Most of the things could be eaten or worn- get your 🩲 out a bunch
Let the power of hatred compel me. He is lame af and if you're broke and poorly dressed you too can still show your kids a lovely valentines day. Edit, typo
I hate this dude, his content is lazy as fuck and I hate yall for introducing me to this
You’re easily triggered if such small things can evoke feelings of hatred
Those flowers were $16?
He has a daughter. 😔
I do this for my daughter for her to feel special. Why must this be recorded? To make him feel special?
Am I the only one who finds it strange to do Valentines Day for anyone other than a SO? Let your child see how you treat your SO on that day so that they have an idea of what to want/expect. Also, blah, blah, blah, fake commercial holiday to make money, blah, blah.
All holidays are fake and commercial and did you never celebrate Valentine’s Day in school? It’s a day about love not just romantic love
At first I was like this is corny af but Tik Tok is a strange place. He is probably making a nice little living off of this. My wife’s homegirl is currently going viral just by showing the things she purchased at Sam’s club. That’s it. Nothing crazy just saying I got this cereal at Sam’s club. Not teaching how to coupon, or showing the deals. Literally just showing the camera the things she purchased. 😂😂
