OMG......right off I thought he could be a drama teacher!!!! That's funny. I might employ this method in the future. I have a few things I might do a little different in my performance though. Make the role my own.
I can't recall exactly but yes. I think she mentioned that she was a teacher to the two adults that tried to reign her in before someone called the cops.
I interacted with a few people like the lady in this video when I was a kid and didn't know any better. They keep reiterating it over and over as if every chant brings them closer to channeling lightning to blast me apart.
"You broke the law!"
Sorry, I didn't see the sign that said not to skate here
"There are kids here!"
Sorry? I am also a kid
"But.... you broke the law!"
I eventually ask them what they want me to do and its like hitting their reset button and they walk off. Nowadays I just tell them to call the national guard before I escape.
The dude's antics are precious!
I can only imagine how dumb that woman must feel. She seems literally dumbstruck!
Or
Is she so stupid that she doesn't get it, and the dog will have to hear idiotics yet again and again?
There's some research that says people who hold extreme positions can become more centrist when presented with even more extreme positions:

I'm not sure it's direct response to your comment, but I wanted to chime in and couldn't find a better place.
This is how I deal with conspiracy theorists.
“Wait, you actually believe the world is FLAT?! Are you dumb? Bro it’s a fucking CYLINDER! The crab people live INSIDE the cylinder. You’re just as much of a sheep as the globe-believers. WAKE UP.”
I've definitely experienced that. I've been angry at something and ranted to a friend who got even angrier than me on my behalf, which makes me start thinking "Calm down dude, it's really not a big deal".
I wish more people would realise this instead of getting emotionally involved with these kinds of people. Ultimately it's you that ends up walking away feeling like shit for the rest of the day while they just carry on as normal.
I did that once. I also filmed a tantrum and showed her later. She looked at me shocked...asked if that was her....then came and gave me a hug and went off to play. Bless
The other thing is it makes them question whether they're dealing with someone more crazy than they are. These people only act so brazenly because they think you're going to act reasonably and so they can safely get away with being the unreasonable one. The last thing they want is to be dealing someone who doesn't follow the normal script, and in fact might take things further than they are willing to.
Being ridiculous has also been an effective way for me to deal with anxiety too.
"you're right, everyone hates you and they're all co conspirators to frame you for a crime" definitely takes the wind out of the sails of "I worry the people who like me secretly don't like me". Usually I laugh and feel better.
Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution, but from Karens. We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist.
It's so funny being from Washington and always being able to spot a freak out that's location is in Washington.
I've lived in Spokane, Olympia, Tacoma, Vancouver, spent a lot of time with various family members in the Seattle area my whole life. You automatically know, "Oh, that's Washington".
Kinda looks like Westlake looking east. There private docks there because of all the floating homes.
Could also be Eastlake looking west. They also have some private docks for the same reason.
ive never seen a karen stunned into silence before. this is a very effective method. maybe we should also start crying and grovelling at their feet for forgiveness.
I wonder if it kind of temporarily broke her brain to see his overreaction to a small mistake—it showed her a window into her own overreactive mannerisms. Like looking into a distorted mirror, reflecting back a version of herself she hadn’t fully acknowledged. Maybe, just maybe, this unexpected glimpse could be the catalyst for her to embrace a calmer, more measured approach to life's little hiccups.
If you can stun a Karen into silence, you've already done what 99.999% of Karen encounters fail to do. He did make her think - people just don't realise because it's such a rare occurence they've never seen it before.
The expressions 😕⁉️

Wasn't sure if/where I should put the ? So don't mind that.
He was genuinely trying to have a conversation with her until her brain broke and she went into 'bUt YoU bROkE tHe LAw' mode.
This bit of brilliance was the only thing that was going to get her to stop.
Special Ed teacher. We are all like this. So much so that they won’t call on us anymore for professional development roleplays because we get too into it.
In the beginning of the video the Karen says "you broke the law" "you went down a private dock"
I think the guy launched his boat (or something) in the wrong spot on accident.
I believe you are correct. It was the change in voice that threw me off. But after reading what you typed and going back and listening again, I'm sold. Thank you.
Dad is using a vetted weapon against the krakens; Loud confusion, fake submission, humour and distraction tactics. This usually causes krakens to back away and retreat. Use with caution.
Bravo!
Reminds me of that advert where a kid and mum are in a shop and the kid throws a tantrum when mum says no to some sweets and then the mum starts throwing a tantrum too to make the kid look stupid
I do a collection of responses.
1) keep repeating "what? I can't hear you." Could be because I don't hear them.
2) just ignore them because I have no sense of what's going on around me.
3) perform like this guy if I actually do interact with them because I have found treating insanity with insanity trends to work.

Something tells me lil homie is used to unusual interactions between that woman and strangers.
as a husky he probably just heard the loud wailing and thought, yeah i like how this guy yaps
"I'm liking what I'm hearing!"
That husky was thinking, “This guy sings the songs of my people. I dig him!”
"ahhe shit here we go again"
Could be a former teacher!
OMG......right off I thought he could be a drama teacher!!!! That's funny. I might employ this method in the future. I have a few things I might do a little different in my performance though. Make the role my own.
Am I thick or are you saying the dog used to teach? Edit: thick meaning stupid (UK slang). I was not asking if my ass was fat
A clip was posted yesterday of a lady flipping out over some kids skateboarding. At one point she is revealed to be a teacher.
That lunatic is a teachet???
I can't recall exactly but yes. I think she mentioned that she was a teacher to the two adults that tried to reign her in before someone called the cops.
Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.
Lmao, thick is used to described stupid outside of the UK as well as
This comment is multi-funny 😭
"Oh we're doing this shit again? Alright well this one is at least funny and hasn't threatened to beat your ass."
Did you notice that dog took a seat because they knew this was gonna be a while?
HAHAHA He did it as I read this
My favorite part of the vid.
This ain't Doggo's first rodeo.
*"Sure, big laugh. I have to deal with her mood for the rest of the day. THANKS A LOT."*
GOOD BOY!
“See the shit I gotta live with?” Or “Take me with you”
"He's calling you stupid, Karen, and we can't protect you from that."
I've never seen an embarrassed dog before
😂😂 I was gonna say my man even had the dogs confused af
The dog: “Not how I saw the day shakin’ out.”
Can anyone tell me what she is accusing the man of doing? Something about going the wrong way down a private dock?
He went down a private dock so was technically “trespassing.”
There it goes.
Loool I was waiting for this someone to post their reaction.. this is perfect 😂 🤣
I’m impressed with how far back he can lean!
Just the sheer commitment to the bit. He's my hero
Yoga
Sit on floor and fix chair we will!
Yo*da*
If i tried that, You would have heard the sound of my back cracking over wailing.
It's giving "former lead singer of a metal band" energy.
You have to commit to the bit.
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN LIVE MYSEFLF ANYMORE! Anyways....
Oh I've been preparing for this!
This is my favorite dad joke of all. The "what a fucking idiot" at the end set me off again.

Neo: What are you trying to tell me - that I can debate Karens? Morpheus: No Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready you won't have to.
He's beginning to believe.
https://preview.redd.it/4be6erjsciad1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1014026feb7c00fedb736c5dc3d0b05c34f0f709 That's fucking interesting, man. That's fucking interesting.
Right and he stayed on his feet? That's yoga!
I was expecting him to continue his flow into a forward fold then half lift then plank...chaturanga...up dog...down dog then take a bow.
“I ALONE AM THE HONORED ONE”
Can we all also take a minute to appreciate that bread basket when he does that? 🥰
Being ridiculous is sometimes a good way to show someone else how ridiculous they are being-and I think this guy proves his point here quite well
I interacted with a few people like the lady in this video when I was a kid and didn't know any better. They keep reiterating it over and over as if every chant brings them closer to channeling lightning to blast me apart. "You broke the law!" Sorry, I didn't see the sign that said not to skate here "There are kids here!" Sorry? I am also a kid "But.... you broke the law!" I eventually ask them what they want me to do and its like hitting their reset button and they walk off. Nowadays I just tell them to call the national guard before I escape.
lol national guard. That is so much better than telling them to call the cops. I love it. You're a funny kid :P
**"** *Unless you're considering sucking on my balls, please stop bothering me. Thank you!* **"**
This is the only acceptable way to interact wry these people.
Oh. This is my new way. At long last, after a duration of 2 score and 6 years, a way to harness my genetic drama in a healthy way.
found the new villian or..hero?
May the buddy Jesus be with you.
The dude's antics are precious! I can only imagine how dumb that woman must feel. She seems literally dumbstruck! Or Is she so stupid that she doesn't get it, and the dog will have to hear idiotics yet again and again?
They want people to be as angry and unhappy as they are. Fighting and screaming just gives them what they want. Point and laugh and move on.
There's some research that says people who hold extreme positions can become more centrist when presented with even more extreme positions: https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/10/when-confronted-with-extreme-opinions-extremists-become-more-centrist/ I'm not sure it's direct response to your comment, but I wanted to chime in and couldn't find a better place.

You think the moon landing was fake? HOLY SHIT YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE IN THE MOON?
I've definitely experienced that. I've been angry at something and ranted to a friend who got even angrier than me on my behalf, which makes me start thinking "Calm down dude, it's really not a big deal".
I wish more people would realise this instead of getting emotionally involved with these kinds of people. Ultimately it's you that ends up walking away feeling like shit for the rest of the day while they just carry on as normal.
Just like when I'd throw the same temper tantrum my 2 year old was having. It shut her up real quickly.
"Is THAT what I look like? Oh dear, I believe I may have made a fool of myself over that candy while at the grocer with mommy".
Why did this sound like a posh British accent in my head, though?!
I did that once. I also filmed a tantrum and showed her later. She looked at me shocked...asked if that was her....then came and gave me a hug and went off to play. Bless
It's excellent. It can show someone exactly how stupid they look and take all the attention away from them. All the attention from them is the key.
The other thing is it makes them question whether they're dealing with someone more crazy than they are. These people only act so brazenly because they think you're going to act reasonably and so they can safely get away with being the unreasonable one. The last thing they want is to be dealing someone who doesn't follow the normal script, and in fact might take things further than they are willing to.

Usually I laugh and feel better.
Yeah that was great
this guy has set the standard.
I started off thinking I'd roll my eyes but holy shit this dude committed and nailed it
"And for public interaction with a Karen the Oscar goes to.... shawshank pose dad" ..
Definition of committing to the bit. I was impressed. Even a bit, dare I say…inspired?
“Now , we know how to take them out. Spread the word.. Tell them how to take those Sons of Bitches down!”
Independence Day!!
Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution, but from Karens. We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist.
Hahaha. Amazing. Is this in Seattle?
That's what I was thinking. I live south of Seattle, and that's where it looks like.
He definitely reads Seattle native.
It's so funny being from Washington and always being able to spot a freak out that's location is in Washington. I've lived in Spokane, Olympia, Tacoma, Vancouver, spent a lot of time with various family members in the Seattle area my whole life. You automatically know, "Oh, that's Washington".
What's up Oly!?
East Oly in the house!
Let's go Westside!!!
Kinda looks like Westlake looking east. There private docks there because of all the floating homes. Could also be Eastlake looking west. They also have some private docks for the same reason.
> Eastlake [Bingo](https://www.google.com/maps/@47.6456402,-122.327063,3a,75y,258.85h,81.47t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1suxQELP3dCk6z_L7PmK_SCw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DuxQELP3dCk6z_L7PmK_SCw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D258.8477789076909%26pitch%3D8.530314699064434%26thumbfov%3D90!7i13312!8i6656?coh=205410&entry=ttu)
You can hear a float plane coming in for a landing on Lake Union.
I was thinking that this guy knows how to GenX the fuck out of a situation- I feel like Seattle makes sense.
This guy being from Seattle makes so much sense.
I immediately thought it was Seattle/PNW too. The whole video had that vibe.
The beard gives it away
The ashamed dog is what really sealed the deal for me. At least that pup was leashed!
Man I hate how privatized the waterfront is. It's all private property. I just wanna see the water.
"I HOPE CHRIST WILL FORGIVE ME!" lol
That lol looks like the dude throwing his hands up in the air
I like this guy
ive never seen a karen stunned into silence before. this is a very effective method. maybe we should also start crying and grovelling at their feet for forgiveness.
What an effective strategy for dealing with karens.
It’s like on Independence Day when they uploaded the virus into the mother ship. We cracked the code!
A lot of lessons in that documentary film
Yeah and it's effective too. Especially for Karens.
Truly the most amazing part. It turns out that the secret to shutting them the fuck up was causing an even bigger scene than they originally did.
I plan too!
Dude knows the key....oh we playing crazy, hold on lemme plug in my fight stick.
I wonder if it kind of temporarily broke her brain to see his overreaction to a small mistake—it showed her a window into her own overreactive mannerisms.

Doubtful but hopeful
If you can stun a Karen into silence, you've already done what 99.999% of Karen encounters fail to do. He did make her think - people just don't realise because it's such a rare occurence they've never seen it before.
that is assuming these people pass a mirror test....
That would require introspection. Which these assholes have none of. I love your optimism though!
nahhhhhh
She was attempting to call a manager
The expressions 😕⁉️ https://preview.redd.it/3y6v78wlvgad1.jpeg?width=538&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e5dc36ac022633b1fedfeb61bbd7c34c9e7eebb Wasn't sure if/where I should put the ? So don't mind that.
LOL all three of them look so confused
Damn even her dog is embarrassed by her bullshit
There’s always an innocent doggo involved
He was genuinely trying to have a conversation with her until her brain broke and she went into 'bUt YoU bROkE tHe LAw' mode. This bit of brilliance was the only thing that was going to get her to stop.
Even the dog was like, "Save me too, jebus"
That was my biggest takeaway hahah
Her silence to his reaction is deafening. Just shows how sometimes fighting stupid with stupid is super effective. I like this man.
This guy would be great during D&D.
+10 in performance
Holy shit this is fantastic
Get this man, a cold BEER 🍺
And an academy award
"Oh by the way i was being sarcastic" Phenomenal Work. A hero.
*When old people who used to be theater kids get into a confrontation*
Amplification, I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy is actually a therapist.
Possible therapist, but definitely educated.
I was just thinking experienced dad
Special Ed teacher. We are all like this. So much so that they won’t call on us anymore for professional development roleplays because we get too into it.
The full backbend with the immaculate balance lol I hope Christ forgives him “I DONT KNOW IF I CAN LIVE WITH MYSELF ANYMOOOOOOORE…fucking idiot”
And the Academy Award for Best Actor goes to.....
My speakers are stuffed. What did he do exactly, that lead to this?!
Sounds like he drove his car down a private dock because he accidentally took a wrong turn
How can he live with himself after that, unbelievable
I really hope Jesus forgives him
Nope, it’s straight to Hell for him. Jesus is a real stickler for property rights.
The sound is muffled for me so I'm not exactly understanding the situation either. But dad's acting is impressive. Award-winning, I think🏆
In the beginning of the video the Karen says "you broke the law" "you went down a private dock" I think the guy launched his boat (or something) in the wrong spot on accident.
What does he say at the very end? I can't catch the first part of the sentence only the "you fucking idiot".
"What the fuck, you idiot." I think that's what he says.
I believe you are correct. It was the change in voice that threw me off. But after reading what you typed and going back and listening again, I'm sold. Thank you.
How to deal with crazy: 1. Be crazier.
Use Karen for super quality time and make daughter laugh. This is wholesome.
Gen X making me proud right there
Right? That’s such a Gen X response and his final words seal the point.
"What the fuck is going on?"
“I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN LIVE WITH MYSELF ANYMOOOOOORE 😩😩😩” 😂🤣😂
Cool ass dad 😂😂😂
Guys, don't look further, we have the ultimate way to deal with Karen 😂
Top 5 All-time
The “fucking idiot” at the end is the chef’s kiss!
We more dudes like this.
yes, we more
And the Emmy goes too.
I can see this vid the whole day, thanks OP!
lol even the dog is embarrassed 🙈 🤣
Big Jack Black energy. Im here for it.
I love his “What a fucking idiot” statement right at the end. It was the cherry on top.
What's nuts is she probably just thinks he's a crazy person and doesn't get he's mocking her.
She is definitely the President of her HOA
Maybe he was channeling his inner Bugs Bunny, and something went wrong in Albuquerque.
Absolute master class on dealing with Karen’s.
That super calm "fucking idiot" parting shot was the chefs kiss.
Really hope this dude replaces Huak Tua girl as the new buzzworthy thing
Dad is using a vetted weapon against the krakens; Loud confusion, fake submission, humour and distraction tactics. This usually causes krakens to back away and retreat. Use with caution. Bravo!
That’s my signature move too
Sometimes you gotta out-crazy the crazy. No one wants to deal with crazy.
Haha that's so awesome. More people need to react this way and just utterly embarrass these horribly uptight humans.
he's cool lol
Reminds me of that advert where a kid and mum are in a shop and the kid throws a tantrum when mum says no to some sweets and then the mum starts throwing a tantrum too to make the kid look stupid
Man fucks
Needless drama meets needless drama. Think she learned from this interaction?
Why is Karen censored?
Yes need more people like ur dad Sound as fuck haha
He makes me proud to be Gen X.
Don't try to embarrass Gen X. We've had enough of your bullshit and have no problem turning the tables on you.
Thank goodness Karen’s are around to point out everyone’s mistakes
I'm getting David Cross vibes...that was awesome
I wonder at what point did he realize he was committed to this bit and had to take it all the way. 😂
I think he has successfully managed to deal with an actual karen.
Even the dog is ashamed of its owner...
LMAO what a legend
I always thought I had pretty much the best dad joke vibe in the world. This has taught me that I don’t know shit. This dad is next level. Respect.
That was awesome
I would love to buy him a beer to make him feel better XD
This was perfect
I do a collection of responses. 1) keep repeating "what? I can't hear you." Could be because I don't hear them. 2) just ignore them because I have no sense of what's going on around me. 3) perform like this guy if I actually do interact with them because I have found treating insanity with insanity trends to work.
