When this Kentucky dad heard of the latest dance challenge, he had no idea it would make him a star.

Thanks to social distancing, people all over the world have been bonding with their family members at home like never before. Some parents have even become internet sensations because of it.

The McFarland brothers have been posting their family’s hijinks online for years. They’d been gaining a loyal following for some time. But one video has really launched them into the limelight, and it’s all thanks to their dad!

The brothers told their dad about the latest dance challenge that’s sweeping the world. So the dad looked online and saw how people were moving to Blinding Lights by The Weeknd. The kids thought that their dad could do the song justice.

The dad wasn’t so sure. But the brothers kept on insisting that he could live up to the challenge.

Eventually, the words made an impact, and the dad said that he could do it.

Pretty soon, the dad and his boys were out in the yard, dancing in unison to the song.

After the trio had done some amazing moves, the boys picked their father up, and the dad stretched out his arms in triumph.

The video of the dad and sons dancing then ended up on the video platform TikTok, where it soon went viral. In fact, in just a couple of weeks, the video has recieved over 12.3 million views. It also has more than two million likes and 17,700 comments.

A little later, the McFarlands posted a video of bloopers from the video. It shows that the family actually put a lot of work into this routine, and it took the dad quite a while to perfect his moves!

The McFarlands have continued to entertain the world with their quarantine activities.

Just the other day, they posted a video showing one of the boys and the father competing in the Oreo Challenge, where two people get Oreos placed on their foreheads and have to bring them to their mouths without touching them.

Both father and son put up a good effort in this challenge, but the song ultimately won.

The family has also decided to produce their own quarantine version of the popular daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives. In their episodes, the characters’ exploits mostly revolve around cunning plans to steal hand sanitizer and toilet paper.

The dad and the boys have also shared with the world some of their favorite party hits.

In this video, the trio dance to songs they like in one half of their room and pass on songs they don’t like.

It turns out they love slow choir music and turn their noses to more typically dance friendly hits.

So if you’re currently quarantining with your family, you know what to do. You can start making dance challenges and soap operas to entertain the masses! You may not be able to gain the millions upon millions of views that the McFarlands have managed, but you’ll probably have lots of fun trying!

Please SHARE this with your friends and family.
