When it comes to teenage girls and their fathers, it can be tough to bond and connect. This rings true for young Sasha and her goofy father, Brian, on the new Netflix series "Dad Stop Embarrassing Me!" However, in episode 3 titled #YeezysAndShrimp, their differences are put to the test as Brian tries to help Sasha navigate a high school culture obsessed with social media influencers and celebrity sneakers.
The episode starts out with Brian surprising Sasha with a new pair of Yeezy sneakers, to her dismay. Sasha, who is more interested in fashion influencers and their sponsored posts, quickly dismisses her father's attempt at being 'cool.' However, Brian is not one to give up so easily, especially when it comes to bonding with his daughter.
Despite Sasha's reluctance, Brian wrangles his way into chaperoning her field trip to a seafood restaurant for her school project. Brian views this as an opportunity to teach Sasha about the importance of networking, but Sasha is more interested in impressing her peers with pictures of their fancy shrimp cocktail on social media.
As the meal progresses, Sasha's classmates start to judge Brian's outlandish behavior and quirky sense of humor. It's apparent that Sasha is becoming increasingly embarrassed by her father, and this culminates with the school principal calling Brian out for almost causing a scene.
Although she's embarrassed, Sasha begins to understand the value in her father's unique personality and style. As they leave the restaurant, Sasha snaps a picture of her father attempting to balance a tray of shrimp in his Yeezys. The episode ends with Sasha posting the picture, receiving a wave of positive comments and newfound attention on social media.
Overall, this episode is filled with relatable scenarios and genuine situations between father and daughter. It touches on the struggles of fitting in with peers while trying to connect with a parent that may have a different idea of what's "cool." The message is relatable, and the episode is heartwarming, making it a must-watch for anyone looking for a family sitcom with an original twist.
