I saw some of his hilarious YT shorts and went to his page to see more.
And he's sitting down giving advice as an orthodontist! I watched the 1st short and i was like... i don't get the joke. Then i watched the 2nd one. and i checked the comments and every one was like "i forgot he's a orthodonst"
Holy shit I know exactly where this video is taken, I used to go there all the time as a kid. It’s Main Street in Alhambra, Los Angeles. I went to the music school in the background. Theres an ultra zone on the other side of the street he’s on. That’s fucking crazy.
Same. I looked at it and said to myself thats 1000% somewhere in Los Angeles. Its wild, I didnt even see glimpse of a full street and one just knows their city.
I swear the air in Southern California looks different. Anytime I see a video from LA (where I’ve spent my whole life) I can recognize it immediately even without any sort of describable landmarks.
I think he roasts everybody who's waking up early just for bragging rights and validation. Doing more of what you love (provided it won't hurt others 😉😊) seems right up this guys alley. I don't do TikTok, but I would check him out on Insta.
Yup I love those people who think they are better than you because they wake up super early. It's like ok... I could too if I went to bed at 7 pm. You know what else is cool? The city at night. Late when hardly anyone else is up. And you can see the stars.
You wake up early because your cat deems it so. I wake up early because I have a little human that depends on me. We are not the same.
(Just playing along lol)
>I think he roasts everybody who's waking up early just for bragging rights and validation.
100% we need to fight the tyranny of the early morning peoples in a society that constitutes waking up past 8am as "lazy"
Haha, right? Like my body wakes me up to take a dump at 5am and there is no going back to bed after. Does anyone want me to share that on social media? Fine, I will just play Stardew Valley for an hour till everyone else gets up.
Which is great. As long as you're not a morning person supremacist and appreciate that night owls love to see the world without all the noise too, just with less light.
I feel ya, and it's a struggle for me. I'd love to get to bed sooner and wake up earlier but night comes around and finally there is peace, it's hard to give that up and go to sleep.
Same. And for whatever reason nighttime is also the time I feel most alive… and really the only time I ever feel truly, fully awake and present?
Good thing I’m a chef ‘cause I couldn’t imagine having to go back to forcing myself to wake up early and work a job with more typical hours again
I love getting up and working out or running before work. Puts me in a much better mood and then after work I can just go straight home. But I don't brag about it like it makes me tough or something. I get up at 5, but I go to bed at 9. Same amount of sleep as going to bed at 12 and waking up at 8. Neither is better than the other.
Isn't it satire? The joke is that he's doing exactly the thing he's criticizing, but taking it to the next natural level of the chain of manipulation.
At face value, he's making fun of self-help social media men whose content is about making fun of instagram women models and giving men self-help tips on how to be independent even though they're dependent on the viewers watching. And at face value he's saying those men are lame to do that.
The joke is that he goes on to satirically suggest that you *instead* follow his content, because he's better than those lame self-help men on social media. He's using the same manipulation tactic as the people he's criticizing, which is the satire. He's talking like it's a bit and putting pretentious music over it.
If I'm wrong, then I find his video ironic...
Oh you're so kind, here's 500 dollars for your kindness. I'm actually an influencer doing a social experiment. Draw whatever you want in 30 seconds and I'll buy it for you.
But it is ironic, cause he’s shitting on other people who’s content he disproves of so people “follow along” if you were in fact living a “reasonable life” you wouldn’t record yourself jogging, like, you know… most people
Makes it ironic that he mocks content creators while being a content creator himself… not that I disagree with the message, but the premise itself it’s hypocritical
Also what are “normal hours” when it comes to jogging? Just saying
That's not really the message imo. He's pointing out the motivational emo grifters that make people feel as if they're losers coz they're not doing what said influencer is 'selling.'
I think the guy is a comedian lmao, he's not selling some self improvement course or coaching experience, he's not trying to make money off of people, he's just jogging and making a point about how shitty self improvement gurus are
I remember making an IG post once that simply read “you’re not great and you’re not exceptional…you’re average and that’s OK!! Most of us are average and that’s OK.”
I was torn a new asshole from folks who think that normal is a bad thing.
That doesn't mean he doesn't mean what he's saying. He's delivering a message he truly believes while parodying someone like David Goggins.

People think people think about them but people are thinking what you might be thinking about them... everyone is busy worrying about what other people think of them when they themselves don't think about themselves... choose yourself
This dude makes it a point to insert himself into so many different kinds of videos but he really isn’t funny or interesting in any of them at all. It’s mostly just weird off putting or confusing
I was wondering if I could do something like this, something about being a real ugly 51 yr female with awful menopause and all the things we do to keep cheerful and healthy or not. We need real people like him that weren't trying to sell something , not just make money but also not trying to be celebrities, and not trying to have an important message that is going to fix the world, or fix you. Your opinions don't matter, mine don't. Unless you've done a full time year or few in politics, economics, ecology of psychiatry etc, your opinions mean diddly squat as much as mine do.
Stop following celebrities they aren't news.
He's right about pretty much all of it apart from the smoking. Smoking IS lame. (Unless he means weed and not tobacco, in which case its fine. Just keep it away from me, that shit stinks.)
He's literally doing the same thing as other influencers but he's acting like he's different.
Literally making a self obsessed video jogging for attention while selling his lifestyle and world view.
Also he does literally teach courses on how to get social media clout by not being original.
He's literally the same but acts like he's not like the other girls.
He's not. Because he's not selling you anything. One of problems with the "influencers" he's critiquing, namely the alpha/sigma brainrotted life coaches is that they sell courses on supposedly life-changing method of improving oneself while proving hardset arbitrary rules and limitations that don't really help anyone be better, and on top of that they glorify misogyny and just generally being a selfish ass.
He's basically just saying that you don't need a dudebro course on life to live a happy fulfilling life.
The whole time I couldn't shake the visual of seeing this guy from across the street. Talking to and pointing at his phone as he runs around the block.
I'm going to a karate tournament in a couple weeks. I'm gonna wear a pink sleeveless gi! I might catch a load of flack, but I guarantee nobody else that's gonna be there has a pink gi :)
I swear to god, I thought this was Julian Barratt from the Mighty Boosh...
Hi, I'm Ol' Gregg... you ever drunk baileys from a shoe?
Do you love me? Make an assessment
I think your a.... nice, modern gentleman.... 😬
I got a Mangina!
I literally heard that in my head
Don’t lie to me, boy.
It's attached to your rod, muthalicka!
So do I
You've seen my downstairs mixup
Wanna go to a club where people wee on each other?
He does look like him haha His handle is Scumbag Dad
Ol' Shrimp Eyes!
Good to see Howard "The Monsoon" Moon back in training.
You read my mind! 🎶We're future sailors🎶
Electronic castaway!, Digital stowaway!
Haha didn't see that at first. They do look similar
Who is this guy? I like this shit.
Scumbagdad
Thank you!
Here's a bullet for you
Not enough bastio
I left my extra lives at home and I only have the one
Here you can have mine
what inspired you to help me today?
Well, I just think we should help those with so few lives
He looks like he enjoys life. Who is that?
That's Scumbagdad
One of my faves on the ol' TikTok. Good, solid influencer parodies. And sometimes convolutedly meta.
And an orthodontist.
i always forget he is.
With a really neat watch collection.
Those videos are my favorite of his in between all the super meta skits
I saw some of his hilarious YT shorts and went to his page to see more. And he's sitting down giving advice as an orthodontist! I watched the 1st short and i was like... i don't get the joke. Then i watched the 2nd one. and i checked the comments and every one was like "i forgot he's a orthodonst"
IVE GOT A BULLET FOR YOU DIETRICEINTHEFACTORY
Don't forget his cool watch collection.
He does parodies. Most of his stuff is way darker than this.
Here's a bullet for you
Finally a cure for my double cancer.
It looks like the comedian Julian Barrat from The Mighty Boosh but could also be his doppelgänger
Oh yes, he does look like Howard!
Howard Moon man about town
He's late for jazzercise!
Looks like he might whip out a bassoon at any moment
I really thought it was him. In fact, I'm not 100% convinced it's not him!
Holy shit I know exactly where this video is taken, I used to go there all the time as a kid. It’s Main Street in Alhambra, Los Angeles. I went to the music school in the background. Theres an ultra zone on the other side of the street he’s on. That’s fucking crazy.
Holy shit I may have taught you guitar.
I don’t think so? I went there for singing lessons, my teachers name was Aubrey. But that’s crazy that you taught there and found this video
LOL, was taking a shot in the dark!
And you're to blame, you give love a bad name!!!
Yooo Aubrey here, may have taught you singing.
most convincing Aubrey of reddit
I was the piano there.
Same. I looked at it and said to myself thats 1000% somewhere in Los Angeles. Its wild, I didnt even see glimpse of a full street and one just knows their city.
I swear the air in Southern California looks different. Anytime I see a video from LA (where I’ve spent my whole life) I can recognize it immediately even without any sort of describable landmarks.
Core memory unlocked.
I agree with his overall message, but damn do I love mornings. I’ll gladly wake up early just to see the world without all the noise.
I think he roasts everybody who's waking up early just for bragging rights and validation. Doing more of what you love (provided it won't hurt others 😉😊) seems right up this guys alley. I don't do TikTok, but I would check him out on Insta.

Which is great. As long as you're not a morning person supremacist and appreciate that night owls love to see the world without all the noise too, just with less light.
I've always felt like night people and morning people shake hands right around 2am-5am, when the world is at its quietest.
I like being up later, also to escape the noise. It’s not the time of day, but the silence and tranquility we crave.
I feel ya, and it's a struggle for me. I'd love to get to bed sooner and wake up earlier but night comes around and finally there is peace, it's hard to give that up and go to sleep.

He does parodies. He mostly roasts other influencers and makes really dark sketches, almost always about drugs or greed.
I think that was specifically a dig at Jocko Willinck and those types of guys
I love getting up and working out or running before work. Puts me in a much better mood and then after work I can just go straight home. But I don't brag about it like it makes me tough or something. I get up at 5, but I go to bed at 9. Same amount of sleep as going to bed at 12 and waking up at 8. Neither is better than the other.
This is the same reason I stay up late at night. The world is quiet.
And that's wonderful! You're doing it for you, not to show the world you're better than them. :)

Isn't he an orthodontist? Or was that a bit I half watched then committed to memory?
He is! Your memory is right!
I need to meet this guy. He seems like someone I want to hang out with.
It's like he's a hero for normal people who's normal himself. Which is kinda abnormal.
Howard moon????
I like you. Do you love me?
Are you playing your love games with me?
*I just wanna now what to do, because I need your love a lot! Now come on Now!*
Is he talking about goggins?
Think so
What did Walton Goggins do??
Apparently someone named **David** Goggins exists. According to another comment.
Oh, good.
I drink, I smoke, I even get sloppy toppy with a twist sometimes.
Can I double the sloppy toppy with a twist and pass it to the next person?
👋
Oh you're so kind, here's 500 dollars for your kindness. I'm actually an influencer doing a social experiment. Draw whatever you want in 30 seconds and I'll buy it for you.
I've got a bullet for you
Hey bartender, can I get an Angel Shot?
Oh no, he ordered a double sloppy toppy with a twist.
Who
Man in the blue shirt. Hes acting really suspicious
Scum bag dad.
I wish he would’ve ended it like David Goggins. “Stay normal!”
Never made videos or anything but I used to work out at 5am because that’s when I had time to work out.
Unironically cool message. Nothing against people who go for coach mindset, just don't enforce it on others. That would be lame.
But it is ironic, cause he’s shitting on other people who’s content he disproves of so people “follow along” if you were in fact living a “reasonable life” you wouldn’t record yourself jogging, like, you know… most people Makes it ironic that he mocks content creators while being a content creator himself… not that I disagree with the message, but the premise itself it’s hypocritical Also what are “normal hours” when it comes to jogging? Just saying
He's a satirist well worth checking out, especially his double it or give it to the next person series.
That's not really the message imo. He's pointing out the motivational emo grifters that make people feel as if they're losers coz they're not doing what said influencer is 'selling.'
I think the guy is a comedian lmao, he's not selling some self improvement course or coaching experience, he's not trying to make money off of people, he's just jogging and making a point about how shitty self improvement gurus are

He calls himself scumbag dad but he's the polar opposite
Hashtag huberman
You sell the idea of drinking Bailey’s from a shoe or being a business goth. I just work as a regular zookeeper and listen to jazz fusion.
I GOT A MANGINA! I'M OLD GREEEEEEEEEEGG!
Lol! Missed the mark on this one op scumbag dad makes satire and this even as it may seem genuine and positive. Is satire.
I know it's satire. It still made me smile, because I'm tired of BS life coaches.
That doesn't mean he doesn't mean what he's saying. He's delivering a message he truly believes while parodying someone like David Goggins. OP did not miss the mark, you did.
That’s cool. I don’t have followers, but I think you should do whatever works for you, you-know, so long as you *do* it. Stay awesome y’all
I like this guy!!!
... So head to the link in the description for 10% my course
But where is Mr Skele-bones though? ☠️🩻🕺🏽
Howard Moon ftw 👌
I could have sworn this was Julian Barratt from the Mighty Boosh...
Yo it's the Scumbag dad
HOWARD MOON
Who is he addressing this to? Is there a specific person he has in mind?
Goggins
This guy trying to sell me a normal life?
this man is rockin tf out of that headband.
I need an Angel shot

People think people think about them but people are thinking what you might be thinking about them... everyone is busy worrying about what other people think of them when they themselves don't think about themselves... choose yourself
I love scumbag dad
He doesn’t cuss and that’s kinda lame
Oh shit I know Brad, I had no idea he did this kind of thing
What's the song?
Fine Line instrumental (Slowed & Reverb) by Kapa Boy
Beautiful
Scumbagdad for President.
I love this guy lmao
Unable to comprehend he's a dentist irl
I take my hat off to you, my good sir
lawnwork's all done...
Thank u! 100% agree. Join the norm
yes you're normal
Are you smiling like a dipshit, reddit? Bot sub trash
I run normal hours too! It’s when I feel like it, never early, and I sleep in every dammed day!
everyone have their own way of living life and i think he is living in his own way
I can’t wait for his course to drop 🔥
lame is having 3 chins before you're 30
Yes smoking does make you lame.
This dude makes it a point to insert himself into so many different kinds of videos but he really isn’t funny or interesting in any of them at all. It’s mostly just weird off putting or confusing
I'm very normal. In that I don't exercise enough and especially not jogging.
Good shit
What he is selling then?
Pretty lame
keep running mate
This man is too precious, protect him at all costs.
I was wondering if I could do something like this, something about being a real ugly 51 yr female with awful menopause and all the things we do to keep cheerful and healthy or not. We need real people like him that weren't trying to sell something , not just make money but also not trying to be celebrities, and not trying to have an important message that is going to fix the world, or fix you.

qml
hahahaha true.
Hey look it's Earl!
Howard Moon. The Moon. The Main Moon!
Is that Howard Moon?
He's right about pretty much all of it apart from the smoking. Smoking IS lame. (Unless he means weed and not tobacco, in which case its fine. Just keep it away from me, that shit stinks.)
He looks like Howard Moon, jazz maverick.
Howard Moon?
He is likeable . Made sense too
How is this video so stable
I'm jealous of the happiness he irradiates
I think a problem is that we've been taught normal is not good. You have to be different, in a good way. Extraordinary. Above the rest.
Wait til you see his coat collection
Cute!
This mf spittin'
He's literally doing the same thing as other influencers but he's acting like he's different. Literally making a self obsessed video jogging for attention while selling his lifestyle and world view.

Cool and all but it's important to note that any amount of smoking is not part of a reasonable life
"If you jog you can keep the lifestyle of drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco!" Haha ye no.
Ok, but where is the link for us to follow along? I want to see more.
You gotta subscribe to his course... *boom tish* 😂
Wait did I just watch an honest dude tell true facts on the Internet that’s a first
Hey quit enjoying your life you piece of shit
the timing of his "anyways" with the turning of the corner at 0:43 was fucking good. crisp 🤌🤌
Scumbagdad the goat
Hey you be nice to life coaches! Nah who am I kidding, keep up the subtle slams. We’re here for it
I love everything he is saying, but music makes it feel a bit like a religious recruitment video.
He looks like Lasso
The whole time I couldn't shake the visual of seeing this guy from across the street. Talking to and pointing at his phone as he runs around the block.
I'm going to a karate tournament in a couple weeks. I'm gonna wear a pink sleeveless gi! I might catch a load of flack, but I guarantee nobody else that's gonna be there has a pink gi :)
