On December 20th, @deviousofficial10 posted a TikTok that gave reality TV a whole new meaning. This man is watching a dating show when the male contestant steps onto the screen. Instantly he bursts out laughing. The contestant is his own son.

It’s one thing to get invested in characters. It’s another thing entirely when you have an actual vested interest in their success. He could be watching his son sauce it up with his future daughter-in-law… or he could be watching him totally fumble the bag. Either way, everything’s ten times funnier because it’s his own offspring up there spitting game.

“I bought him that jacket as well,” he notes, referring to the coat his son’s wearing on the date.

We’re not sure whether he ended up scoring, but at least Dad got a good chuckle out of it.
