Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to the inherent cuteness and perceived risk of a toddler being lifted to significant heights, combined with the father's playful and reassuring demeanor. The escalating heights create suspense and engagement, while the child's positive reactions make it feel safe and fun.

Summary

A father and his young son, Zuko, are seen in a gym setting. The father repeatedly lifts Zuko to increasing heights, from 6 feet up to 11 feet, with Zuko appearing to enjoy the experience. The video ends with a call to action to like and subscribe.

Recreated one of our most controversial videos with Zuko… except this time if you didn’t notice, he’s a lot older, we added a pad below, and we only went to 11ft instead of 12ft so we were a LOT safer this time around and just had a good time! 🙂 However, you’ll see in an upcoming long-form video that we went a bit higher #zuko #toddler #dad #trust #fatherson
