Just as we can learn a lot about moviemaking from bad movies, we can learn a lot about videomaking from Christian viral videos. This little boy is watching you, Dad:
Some things we can learn:
1. Don’t skimp on voice-over talent. While your own kid might have a great “work AFFFLACHK,” go ahead and hire a professional child actor with real stage parents.
2. Is there a reason that you need to make the exact same point over and over, with no narrative arc, for 2:41?
3. Whoops, scratch #2 — points for knowing your audience.
Also, on GodTube and elsewhere, it says to send this video to any parents you know. If I were a parent and some nosy underminer sent this to me, I would un-friend the shit out of them. (I’m watching you, GodTube.)

That video was so boring I went from it to the previous post about Chuck Bass hearting K-Swiss to his Wikipedia entry and to being shocked and appalled about his upcoming role i S.Darko before it was even over.
I hope this kid is gay when he grows up.
Condescendig content aside, you have to admit that the kid’s voice is cute. I’d take that over some stuffy egotistical child actro trying to approximate gravitas anyday.
Also, what’s a “filliure”?
a filliure is videogum.
can i have those 2.41 minutes of my life back please?
that’s 2.41 minutes i could have been keeping an eye on my old man..
you would have wasted those 2 minutes being a fag, so no.
I always view these types of propaganda under a lens of “how is this all symbolically about homosexuality.”
ALSO, speaking of GodTube, did you know they used to have a “Random” button that would take you to a random video? It’s since been removed, presumably due to irony.
4. Those sandals. Thank you for those sandals, Dad. Here’s hoping the son adds socks to this equation.
Socks + sandals = Strong Christian values.
Hey! I’m a dad! And guess what? Right now my kids are watching me drink a nice glass of red wine and watch videos on the interwebs. That’s a good thing, right?
Nah. Just kidding. I put the little shits to be an hour ago…
Ok, so, I love this blog and everything. But at some point it gets to be just a little offensive when anything Christian comes up seeing as how I am. Christian, I mean. Not so much because of the content of the post, just some of the comments.
Also I about pissed myself laughing at “work AFFFLACHK”
Get off the cross, dude
In retrospect, I shouldn’t have compared you to the person that you think is your Lord and Saviour: firstly, it didn’t even make sense really, and secondly, I don’t normally go around being shitty to random people on the internet.
Well according to your calculations, I’ll be spending an eternity in hell, if that’s any consolation?
In any case, sorry man.
It’s not the most creative/well-made/appropriately-paced/narrated video. Point taken. But if there’s one dad who takes his 2:41 (or gets :30 in) and is nudged towards being a more loving and responsible father, then I think this video is worth the space it takes up on the internet.
Jesus, I hope no dads take this seriously! They shouldn’t be dads in the first place if this somehow ‘wakes the up’ to the responsibilities of fatherhood.
Whats up with the weird hand-sliding-towards-the-crotch part @ 0:41?
I thought the video was inspiring. So fuck off, you lamers.
There was a lot of dad-crotch in this video.
