‘Where is my dad’ videos are taking over my FYP

A young actor singing a song for a show at the Brick Children’s Comm Theatre in New Jersey is going viral on TikTok.

“Where’s my dad?” the actor sings, while holding a large Finding Nemo puppet and moving its mouth. “I’m all alone. I’m too small to be here on my own. I swam away because I got mad. But now I really need him. Where’s my dad?”

The kid is a very good singer — but that’s not what caught the attention of the internet. There are thousands of videos using the audio talking about things adults have to do that they wish their dads were there for, or were doing it for them instead.

“Me when I have to get an oil change,” or “me when it’s time to do my tax return,” or “me when my car needs more gas,” or “me the second my check engine light comes on,” or “me when I turned 26 and had to sign up for my own health insurance.”

This is also my cat when he wants someone to watch him eat breakfast.
