1. If "Seinfeld" were on today and George used the wrong pronouns.
2. The most disorienting thing about being alive today.
3. The best father-playing-guitar-for-baby video ever.
4. How to act when you see an attractive person.
5. Living conditions inside a truck.
6. "Oh, I'm so sorry. We're actually out of nothing."
ADDED: Looking at this at 6:22 the next morning, I see there are two 5s, for a total of 8. Too late to change all that now.

Began with hope for the Seinfeld but a second in, eh, it was like watching someone defacing Caravaggio's Narcissus. I liked #5 best but wonder what text he omitted to include and why he did so.
If "Seinfeld" were on today and George used the wrong pronouns.
Intriguing idea, but bad writing and bad acting. If a woman broke up with George for wrong pronouns, he would respond with something like: "First I turn 'em lesbian, now I've turned one non-binary." Jerry: "You're a woman canceller." George: "I'm a woman canceller."
Or in reverse: "She walked in on me when I was changing and saw me... After the pool. First time she's seen me...we haven't had sex yet. Then she asked me: 'Are you transitioning? Are you trans? Not that there's anything wrong with that.' You know...shrinkage. Well, now we're not gonna have sex. Ever. Not that I ever was ever again."
The strawberry child is just adorable.
3. Baby may have had a comfortable feeling of being back in the familiar womb with those guitar vibrations.
4. Another with promise, but not good execution. A couple reactions were a bit funny.
The first 5. Another with promise, but meh. Perhaps acting out the book text?
6. The word play at the end had a "What's on first" thing to it, which was mildly amusing.
7. Winner. Give the cute baby a *****. I know a woman who has the worst mumble, might be her Filipino accent, might be a speech impediment. Never know a word she says.
haven't looked at your tik tok offerings in ages, they just aren't my thing.
2 was just another whiny little bitch. But 3,7 were priceless, and worth seeing.
Decades ago I knew a mom who played while her baby daughter snoozed and giggled.
Hard to compete with little kids, guitar baby and strawberry toddler both. And wish I had known how to react to an attractive person sooner.
I liked a lot today - 3, 5, 6, 7. But maybe the best was #2 because I never have ever lived that way. I'm either working or driving or whatever or else looking at news. So that's a very different reality (if you can call his world reality but that's another issue.) Once I worked with someone I regarded as a lazy, indifferent, time-serving bum who off loaded as much work as possible on the people around him and one day I heard him telling a friend on the phone: "I'm down here meeting the man; the revolution lives." That was two worlds meeting. But this person who has Twitter erupting into his life constantly is even more different.
This had three of the best you've posted.
#1. The baby on the guitar. It's hard to express how wonderful that was. At one point, the baby smiles.
#2. Seinfeld. I haven't even watched much Seinfeld, and that was such a good parody and also inherently witty.
#3. How to kiss a girl. Though it would have been just as good or better if I could just read through that charmingly ridiculous old article.
#4. Strawberry. That kid is very cute.
#5. Cute, but the I get bored in the middle because I get the entire concept. How long it is does become funny again because it's so silly, but still just OK.
#6. The truck. I was surprised by how spacious it is. Very surprised. Interesting for that fact, but otherwise dull and too long.
#7. Disorienting thing. Good concept, and the guy is funny, good delivery and witty phrasing, but there are so many things about modern life you could make fun of as bizarre and awful and all he can think of is "Ew! Republicans exist!" Kind of sad.
As an aside, I think the little girl snowboarding, which was in one of, if the the very first sets you ever posted is still my favorite. What a wonderful child. I also really enjoy these posts, and generally social media just not please me. I'm glad you've trained TikTok's algorithm to present you with things that both please you and me.
The little girl who wanted a strawberry was great. Seinfeld was decent, like a season 8 episode of Seinfeld. #2 has preferred pronouns listed in bio for Twitter.
#1, not a bad impression of the actors.
The two with the babies were the best of the lot.
I laughed out loud at the most disorientating thing…
And the baby on the guitar is wonderful.
Nothing is funny anymore...
Seinfeld bit is awesome.
I love Kramer storming the capitol.
"You stormed the capitol?"
His Kramer impression was spot on. Made me laugh. Also, "George is getting triggered!"
No Elaine, I guess because her voice would be hard to mimic.
That non-binary pronoun bit would have been funnier with him wearing a wig and doing Elaine.
Elaine: "She's not a she? She's a he?"
George: "She's not a he! She's not a he!"
The baby on the guitar is sweet. Nice.
I don't recognize the music.
Here's the lullaby version of Ring of Fire.
Okay, Mom should get a job in the U.N. with that translator ability.
I probably shouldn't compare babies to dogs but we have similar conversations.
"What do you want, Vanna? What?"
She grabs a tennis ball.
"You want to fetch?"
And she gets super excited.
It's funny how communication is so important. The ability to understand and be understood. "You get me!" That's a like a foundational quality for happiness, I think, that sort of unity of understanding.
Makes me think of The Animals song.
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord! Please don't let me be misunderstood.
What a cute kid!!!
The inside of the truck. I guess he doesn't need to have a house.
Loved baby on guitar, toddler saying strawberry. Inside of truck also good.
Am I the only person who liked Seinfeld? Especially the Kramer.
“She her they them, who are all these people?” I run into that all the time, one of my daughter’s friends is…not sure (literally, there's an email list where her friends go to keep informed on what her/their/his pronouns are today). Anyway, her and his are no biggie, but when she’s a they, it’s a real problem figuring out who they’re talking about.
We’re picking them up at 4:00.
Wait, them? Her mom’s coming? I thought her mom wasn’t coming.
Their mom, and no, it’s just them.
Who’s them? How many people are we picking up?
One! Jeez dad! You never listen!
Meanwhile, the father is like, “you listen to them talk, this one’s a lesbian and that one’s non-binary and this other one’s pansexual. They’re 12. None of them are dating yet.”
Seinfeld and his writers must be kicking themselves that they didn't come up with "mispronouning" first. Pretty good that the guy does all three voices.
1, 3 and 4. Some of the best you've ever posted.
Strawberry kid is a cutee. Like the guitar one also.
I've never watched a full "Seinfeld" episode, but from my perspective it sounded spot-on. Especially Kramer bursting in and turning the plot into a different direction.
2. The most disorienting thing about being alive today.
He complains about a tweet or misinterprets a politician's words and he finds that disorienting. Wait until Mr. Sensitive reads about Mao's murder of millions in the Great Leap Forward, Stalin's purges, or the Killing Fields of Cambodia.
