Life of a CHAD

"Life of a CHAD" is the 33rd video in the MillenniaThinker series, following "CONSOOMER".

## Plot

At his school, Chad is the typical "cool" guy. He bullies the nerds, excels at football, gains trophies for his achievements, gets all the girls, and graduates from his university.

An assumedly long time after graduation, Chad sits at home and calls up an old friend and asks if they can hang out like in the old days. His friend apologizes and turns him down, saying he has plans with his son this week, and that he is not sure about the week after that. His friend tells him he needs to go, and hangs up. In silence, Chad contemplates himself in a mirror.

Time passes for Chad, and he gains weight, losing his physique, sculpted face, and his hair. On television, he watches the same nerd he used to bully be on stage and presenting a new car to the world. He stares for a little, and gets up to remove his old trophies from his shelf.

The ending quote reads, "Men today are tomorrow's children."

## Analysis

Chad had it all in his university days, but for whatever reason, he ends up as a failure. The same kid he used to bully is now famous, on television, and presenting a car to the world, while old friends don't have time to see him anymore.

The ending quote adresses a progression of maturity. While in high school, Chad could be the prime example of a "man" among his peers. However, out in the real world, the nerd ends up being the "man". Social ranking in the real world is not determined by how many people you can bully or how many girls you can sleep with. So, the man of today (Chad's persona in highschool) is the child of tomorrow (Chad's same persona in the real world).

Another point adressed by the video is that who you are today does not define who you will be tomorrow. Just because you are a Chad today does not mean you cannot fall to the bottom in the future, and just because you are a Doomer today does not mean you cannot come out on top in the future.

## Tie-Ins

* This is the first part of the Chad Trilogy, followed by "Real CHADS" and "Become a CHAD". Chronologically, it occurs somewhere in "Real CHADS", after the conversation Wojak and Chad have at the gym, but before Wojak meets Chad again after the 2 year gap.
* This is the first video that was not well recieved by the audiance, judging from comment section. A plethora of comments labeled MillenniaThinker as a virgin and the video as a cope, stating that the video was unrealistic, that Chad would never fall from grace, and that the creator of the video was likely an individual who, in the words of one user, "clearly jerks off to the scenario where he will be happy and Chad miserable". The point of the video was missed by these individuals-who you are today does not define who you will be tomorrow. This backlash was addressed in "The Art of COPE", where Cope-Man watches "Life of a CHAD" on his computer, and dull-wittedly says "this content is all cope...you should do content to please your audiance".

## Trivia

* The nerd that Chad bullied/was watching on television was implied to be Elon Musk, as the car being presented was a Tesla Cybertruck, with the windows being shattered, a reference to the events of the Cybertruck unveiling.
* A still shot of Chad gaining weight in this video appears in "Real CHADS".
* Characters from "Slavic Doomer" and "Doomer Death Note" appear in Chad's school auditorium.
