Dad Yells At Son For Crying On His Webcam: The Best Keyboard Cat So Far

I've been following the keyboard cat meme carefully, waiting for the perfect video, and I think this is it: a young man's parents walk in while he's taping himself crying on his webcam for his YouTube channel, and his father shares with him the truth about life. Wait for it...

That dad should go door-to-door helping vloggers. (Via BuzzFeed, but thanks to Charles for sending this as a tip a week ago, whoops.) (Runner-up for best keyboard cat: Haley Joel Osment On Walker, Texas Ranger, which only doesn't make the cut because the clip's popularity on Conan pre-dated YouTube by like 10 years.)

I have so many questions about that video! Just two actually. Why would that kid post that video? It seems like a case of bad idea jeans to me but whatev. Also, how cute is keyboard cat?

Probably to prove to his dad that the Internet understands him.

...whoops.

He sure showed him. Now Dad will see. Now everyone will see. Keep this kid away from the arsenal. (not the soccer team, although everyone should stay away from soccer)

The best part is, he's crying because the San Jose Sharks lost to the Anaheim Ducks in the playoffs. So we don't even have to feel sorry for him!

at first i thought maybe the soldja boy pic was sincere, and i thought, "this guy, he's stupid, but in an honest kind of way - i like that."
but, now i see that its sarcastic, so, you're a doucher.

when you call me a doucher, is that sincerely the insult you decided to go with, or were you sarcastically using it like "haha im intentionally using a childish insult because it contrasts with my otherwise articulate manner of speech that i use in real life but not while typing on the internet so it loses its effect anyway"? because either way you suck.
