The ‘Let It Go’ Video Bomb Is The Newest And Greatest YouTube Genre

You know how it is — those complete bitches Madison and McKinley laughed at you when you asked if you could audition for glee club, and you don’t even want to join their stupid glee club, but it’s the only way you’ll ever get Skylar with those beautiful blue eyes of his to ever notice you, and ugh, this day is just the worst, you just want to take the pain and “let it go, LET IT GO”, because you’re the most misunderstood girl in all the world, and the only way for you to process these feelings is to sit down in front of your webcam and sing them out, and so you hit record and close your eyes, and with a deep breath, you start to sing about the snow glowing white on the mountain tonight, and you decide that when you’re done, you’re uploading this to YouTube, and then when the people down at Disney HQ see it, they’ll call you up and beg you to star as the princess in their next CGI-animated musical spectacular, and then you’ll act super casual about it when you approach Skylar in the hall and ask him if he wants to come to the premiere with you, and everything about that magical night will be perfect, and OMG DAD!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING??????? STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the internet’s latest craze — the ‘Let It Go’ video bomb. It’s a whole new way for dads to embarrass their daughters, and it’s taking over YouTube. The game is quite simple to play: just find a young girl singing her heart out to ‘Let It Go’ from Disney’s animated sensation Frozen, then sneak into the background and act like a total goon.

The ‘Let It Go’ video bomb is not just for dads — annoying, snotty little brothers can play too! This poor little girl is clearly waiting for the moment when she can whip her nerd glasses off and reveal her million-watt smile like Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries, and she’d be able to have her moment if her brother would just, like, STOP hogging all the attention for ONE DAMN SECOND.

What’s even worse is if your sibling clearly outshines you as a performer. Let’s be real here: the kid brother is clearly the talented, charismatic one in the family. This ‘Let It Go’ video bomb is just the beginning of years of pent-up bitterness and resentment.

I feel like when this girl was done singing, she asked her dad how she sounded, and he said ‘That was real nice, honey…’, and then stared off into the middle distance, thinking about how hard it’s been on her since momma passed.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to video bomb my neighbour’s kid, whose version of ‘Let It Go’ has really improved the last couple of dozen times I’ve heard it.
