Dad's reaction before vs after successfrom @remyzeee

Overview

The creator performs a two-part comedic skit. In the first part, he plays a disapproving Asian father who rejects his son's dream of pursuing music and disowns him for dropping out of college. In the second part, after the son becomes a successful musician, the father is shown at his concert, being his biggest fan, proudly filming him, and taking credit for his success, completely reversing his initial stance.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Vindication Reversal

A comedic 'before and after' narrative that contrasts an authority figure's initial extreme disapproval of a protagonist's unconventional goal with their hypocritical, over-the-top support after the protagonist achieves massive success.

  1. 1

    The Unconventional Aspiration & Veto

    The protagonist calmly states a goal that defies convention, prompting an immediate, panicked, and absolute rejection from an authority figure.

  2. 2

    The Escalating Takedown

    The authority figure systematically dismantles the protagonist's dream, moving from logical objections to deeply personal, discouraging attacks, framed as protective concern.

  3. 3

    The Point of No Return & Ultimatum

    The conflict peaks as the protagonist reveals an irreversible commitment to their path, leading to a theatrical meltdown and a relationship-ending ultimatum from the authority figure.

  4. 4

    The Success Reveal & 180° Flip

    A sharp cut to a future timeline reveals the protagonist's undeniable success, with the same authority figure now transformed into their most enthusiastic public supporter.

  5. 5

    The Revisionist History Payoff

    In a final comedic twist, the authority figure denies all previous opposition, claims they were always supportive, and takes partial credit for the protagonist's success.
