[00:00:00]Have you ever been scrolling through a Tik Tok or Instagram and suddenly you stumble upon a video of a man looking absolutely devastated accompanied by a single wielded cross emoji and the word his son? You're confused. You're logging but at the same time you feel a weird string of pity.

[00:00:20]Why on earth does orical brain find such depression contents satisfying?

[00:00:32]Welcome to why me. Today we're decisioning why in the world of the internet is the ultimate comedy. The psychology, sad cringe, and relatability. Physical.

[00:00:46]This is what we call sad cringe. Why are we obsessed? First, it's relatability.

[00:00:54]That father in the mirror is a metaphor for our own daily anxiety. When you look at him, you are not just saying a stranger. You're saying yourselves during those 3 a.m. overthinking sessions.

[00:01:11]Second, it's emotional detachment. We use humor to distance our self from real time. The son meme is just the internet looking at the absurdity of life. Life is heavy. We hit post with a crying emoji. That's simple, right? The cultural phenomenon. Why the internet loves it. In the US, this type of meme is exploding. It's because our main culture has reached a level of post irony. We are not looking for haha funny anymore. We are looking for something that feels that father in the meme has become a new icon. The dad who has given up on social expectation. The dad who just want his son too. Well, be a good man. This dark comedy and the internet on the dark. Conclusion, the mindblowing twist. So why do we love it?

[00:02:11]Because deep down we're all that father.

[00:02:14]We all have our own son moments of despair by sharing that meme we're secretly saying of the world. Hi, I'm excited too. But let's just talk about it. So next time you see that meme, don't just scroll past it. Realize it's a reflection of our most fragile yet resilient human side. This is every single son I have ever seen. Son Wilson Niss son of duty sonar system witch sunflower here's come the sun for the horizon hope is on sorry we'll cross on And season met acquisition domain expansion. That is all. Thank you for watching and see you in the next
