BBC Dad makes a beautiful, earnest commitment to us all
There are some viral videos that transcend time. The BBC Dad video is one such video.
The infamous clip, where two tiny children interrupt their father's BBC broadcast, went viral about one year ago today. After footage of BBC Dad with a different backdrop recently made the rounds, the journalist made an earnest commitment to his concerned fans: he would return to his original backdrop.
One fan's expression of anxiety received over 1,400 retweets.
So the BBC Dad -- who, wouldntyaknow, actually has a real name, Robert Kelly, and a real job, Professor of Political Science -- spoke up.
Unfortunately, Kelly didn't respond to every Twitter user's individual demands. BBC Dad, we demand more.
Here's the original video for your continued enjoyment.
If there are any bold kids on a CNN set out there willing to interrupt a broadcast, please step up to the mic. It's 2018. We need a viral fix baaaaad.
