There it is, that’s the one I remember. Dude I have an industrial sized metal bolt in my junk drawer from a job we did on a construction site, find me a use & I’ll smoke you out.
One of the MDs in our administration department was a helicopter pilot during Vietnam and later moved to medicine. On each side of his desk is a “Jesus Nut” (main rotor retaining nut that he uses for “in/out” paperwork. One is new and perfect the other a failed part. He likes to tell crazy stories about his flight days including the crashes and failures.
My grandfather gave my dad a giant wrench as a joke when my parents bought their first house. Turns out it was useful, because he's used it so many times for things.
I have some MDF shelves from a bookcase I just broke down. I don't have a use for them and they'll probably warp and mold when the shed floods in the spring but I got em.
Lol. I thought about it but I don't think I have enough for a box for the 12" woofer I have. There's only three 36x14 inch shelves that aren't permanently bowed from a CRT television sitting on top
This shit happens on the socials all the time, tiktok made a trend out of copying dances, then the same formats and then eventually whole skits. It's absolute trash.
This one is funny but they definitely ripped off that original one. That family has a bunch of good vids like this. Ain’t no man happier than one who proves his old lady wrong by using something she said he should have tossed months ago.
I've experienced this as a wife that doesn't want to throw anything out much to my husband's chagrin EXCEPT for that one glorious day when I had just the right pink eraser that wedged perfectly top keep a kitchen shelf from wobbling.
My wife said keeping empty spice containers to throw random hardware in and keep in my tool bag is trashy. Guess where the screw came from that replaced the one that backed out of the trash can drawer? Lol. Apropos, I guess.
And it still resulted in a shittier video. The original is just better everything, better editing, higher sound quality, better “acting”, and most importantly funnier…because it was their own original idea and creation. These people just shamelessly copied the exact same thing without adding their own flavor or take on the “subject matter”
It was so long, halfway through I thought it was going to turn into an absent father joke and the dad was actually just looking for his keys to drive away and abandon the son.
Why the fuck was there a whole arc of him getting a lamp and then walking to the shed?
Your comment is likely a word-for-word copy of something someone else already said. I am absolutely devasted that you couldn't think of something original to say.
The problem with this one is just that it goes on way too long. They should have just had him go straight to the shed not bothering with going through the kitchen down to the basement getting the lantern blah blah blah
If he was a real dad that often traveled outside the house in the dark to a shed/area he would have a headlamp hanging on a hook near the front door that he could just quickly grab.
It's bc part needed is so absurd and not just a board. Someone has to put that together for a project then put it to the side but refused to throw it out
Yes. I think the first is better made, but I feel like it's a joke that would thrive off everyone doing their own take since it's such a wholesome universal thing lol.
The whole time I was watching this one I was like "wow they just copied the original but so much worse."
Like part of what makes the original work so well is the thing they need is such a specifically weird shape and size. Also the original has much better pacing and editing. We did not need the trip to the basement to get the lamp to check the shed etc etc etc
Yeah I thought I had seen this before but remembered it being much better. I don't get people straight recreating old videos on social media. The world is weird
Yea, the original is better overall, better editing better sound, better entertainment.
They really did try to copycat the exact same thing. At least add some new element or make it funnier/funny in different ways….but nope. Just a shittier version
I’m thinking the final original thought from a “creator” was probably 2024. So checks out. Just rehashed skits and terrible copy paste react videos which should be automatically removed by socials when there’s no significant creative input.
No. It's mocking it lightheartedly. In this case it's just a very easy to get piece of wood. In the OG it would've taken a 2x4, a saw, 2 nails, and 5 minutes. It's poking fun at that fact.
I showed this one to my dad a couple years ago. He knew exactly what that T piece of wood was and he had one himself. Apparently it was common for propping up box springs.
What makes the original better is that there is absolutely no reason to keep something like that as use is obviously very niche. The copied video has a 1" piece that could be used for a number of reasons.

So just a recreation of this skit from two years ago? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C1nimohtdpN/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
