A man acts like a demanding toddler in a store, asking his 'mom' to buy him items and screaming when she refuses. Later, the 'mom' finds the 'dad' sleeping on a display couch and scolds him for not helping.

Why it worked
The humor comes from the relatable scenario of children misbehaving in stores, but with adults playing the roles. The unexpected reversal of roles and the exaggerated reactions are highly entertaining and shareable. The 'mom's' exasperation is also very relatable to parents.
