Comedy skit of dad double-entendres from @the.unpaid.interns

The video presents a series of short, comedic vignettes set in a hardware store, all under the premise of 'Dads unintentionally saying gay things.' Different characters, portraying stereotypical dads, make statements with double entendres, such as complaining about a boss 'pounding' them, working on their 'back shots,' wanting to 'get with' a friend, and admiring another man's 'physique.' The sketch culminates with a dad expressing concern over his son sitting with his legs crossed, advising that one must be aware of 'how you're coming off.'
