Catchy song lists dating red flags from @britausa
The creator uses an animated shark character and a catchy song to present a list of dating 'red flags' and undesirable behaviors, which are metaphorically referred to as 'filters.' Each verse describes a different scenario—from a date badmouthing their ex to someone using 'loves to travel' as their only personality trait—and offers humorous commentary or advice, all while using a Brita water filter as a recurring visual gag to represent the need to 'cool off' from 'thirsty' behavior.
