Comparing car singing reactions over timefrom @mikehthomson
[01]
Overview
The creator performs a two-part comedic skit comparing his reaction to being caught singing in his car. In the first part, labeled 'Me in my teens,' he sings passionately but quickly becomes embarrassed and rolls up his window when he notices someone watching. After a transition, the second part, labeled 'Me in my 30s,' shows him singing with even more intensity, and when he gets caught, he doubles down on his performance, showing he no longer cares what others think.
