That week my dad's lawnmower rant clip beat actual celebrities on TikTok
So last March my dad was out mowing his front yard in Geelong and got annoyed about the council not fixing a pothole, and he just started ranting at his phone camera for like 40 seconds. I posted it as a joke on a Tuesday night, went to bed, and woke up to 1.2 million views. By Friday it had been stitched about 9,000 times and some radio show in Sydney called him for an interview, which he did in his mowing shirt. The funniest part was him asking me what a stitch even was while my phone kept blowing up with notifications. His line about the pothole being deep enough to baptize a horse is the one that went everywhere. The whole week felt like a fever dream, honestly. Does anyone else have a family member who accidentally became a meme?
