His Story

The video is an animated story about a man who deals with an inconsiderate driver taking his shoveled parking spot. He retaliates by pouring boiling water on the car, which freezes the vehicle to the pavement. When the owner discovers his car is stuck, the protagonist shrugs and walks away.

People are losing it over the protagonist teleporting behind a van and handling a boiling pot barehanded.

This is a comedy sketch from Saturday Night Live featuring actors portraying various Republican politicians. The actors take turns filming ads meant to encourage voters to participate in the midterm elections. The video ends with an impersonation of Donald Trump.
