Man Chooses to Play Call of Duty While His Wife Is in Labor, Sparks Some Interesting Reactions Online

The craziest things happen during childbirth.

A 28-year-old woman is in a hospital bed, and the moment is already stressful enough without a PlayStation 5 controller showing up in the frame. Instead of a calm, supportive vibe, the video has the dad-to-be camped out on Call of Duty while a nurse checks something on a computer nearby.

In the clip, @khashs_garage is holding the controller and playing on the hospital TV, right as his partner is actively in labor. The weird part is that the whole thing is filmed, which makes it feel either wildly staged or painfully real, and that uncertainty is what lit up the comments.

Now people are arguing over whether he was “just passing the time” or committing the most chaotic move imaginable during the 10-hour stretch.

The video cuts from the pregnant partner on the bed to the father-to-be gripping that PS5 controller like it’s a lifeline.

The footage then reveals the father-to-be holding a PlayStation 5 controller and playing Call of Duty on the hospital TV.

A Staged Video?

It isn’t easy to imagine that this is real because someone is recording the man. However, some commenters seem to admire his dedication to the game.

One repost account turned the chaos into jokes, with lines about “final goodbyes” and “spawn camping” flying everywhere.

And right when you think the clip can’t get more awkward, the whole “she might see this later” angle lands like a punchline.

It’s not difficult to imagine that his partner may be upset when she comes across this video. She would have to be a special kind of partner or a fellow staunch gamer not to be.
