Dad as a Social Media Influencer? The Results Are Absolutely Hilarious

What would happen if your dad were a social media influencer? The results are absolutely hilarious, as this skit nails it. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see how things might play out if an older gentleman gained a massive following and started pushing products on them.

Social media is a constant and ever-growing presence in society today. Avoiding popular social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Facebook is possible, but it would likely require some strategic planning. In fact, social media has become so pervasive that, sadly, being a social media “influencer” is now a full-time job for some.

Of course, once social media accounts have amassed a big enough following, they start pushing products on their followers. Apparently, companies believe influencers have massive sway over their audience and can move them to buy. The influencer, after (hopefully) making it abundantly clear to their followers that they are being paid by this or that company, will then create content featuring products from that company.

Now, influencers are by and large younger people, and more often than not, women. But what would it look like if a social media influencer were an older man? How would that play out? What would that look like? A hilarious clip posted on YouTube answers those questions for us.

The skit begins with the man telling viewers, “Today, we’re taking things out of boxes.” One sentence in, and he’s already committed his first error. Anyone familiar with these types of videos knows they are called ‘unboxings.” Hilariously, he’s corrected on air.

Things only get better from there as he attempts to demonstrate some of the products or mentions why he has them at all. The entire clip is one laugh after another as this social media influencer shows off some products from Kohl’s.

I have to say, even with all his mistakes, I would be much more likely to follow an influencer like this. Who wouldn’t? It would be absolutely hilarious.
