A man has inadvertently gone viral on social media after insulting his girlfriend's father without realizing he had a doorbell camera.
According to The Mirror, the video was shared on TikTok by TikTok user @Corighteous, who captioned it: "When you realize her dad has a doorbell cam."
The awkward vid, which was clearly filmed from the surveillance camera of the dad's property, shows a bearded man in a baseball cap and an orange hoodie approaching the front door.
Take a look at the hilarious video of the incident right here:The bearded man can be seen talking to someone on the phone. But unfortunately for him, he either didn't notice the door cam or failed to grasp the fact that it had a microphone built into it picking up every word he said.
As a result of this, he didn't exercise verbal caution when he said audibly: "Alright, well, yeah, I gotta go meet this d***head" - in reference to his girlfriend's dad.
But he instantly realized his huge blunder, and then looked directly into the camera while muttering: "Uhhh, god damn it," and quickly getting out of the line of sight of the lens.
The deeply embarrassing incident clearly resonated with other users on the platform, and The Mirror reports that the original managed to accrue more than 2 million views and many more comments before being made private.
Some TikTok users opined that the woman who was dating the man in the video was better off without him after the camera seemingly unmasked his true nature.
For instance, one person wrote: "Gone. If he feels that way about her family, she dodged a bullet knowing it now."
A second added: "So what kind of flowers do you want for your funeral?"
Then this commenter stated: "If he's talking like that on the phone he's thinking that way about her for real. Lose the player."
However, others stepped in to defend the man from critics.
For example, one person wrote: "Bro I talk like that, even about friends, strangers, coworkers. It's not personal."
Then this user stated: "I would've invited him on in. Welcome to the family bruh!"
Finally, this TikTok user commented: "My dad would have found this hysterical [...] they woulda been laughing over this with a beer."
