QPQ: Done.

Overall: Hi, Panamitsu. Mostly good here, except the hook is a bit of a "yeah, obviously" based on the title and doesn't feel very interesting to me. Perhaps you could add examples of the tongue-in-cheek-ness? Pamzeis (talk) 05:50, 10 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

You're right, thanks. How about ALT1:

"... that How to DAD has made a video titled 'How to get a baby to clean the house'?"

Thanks for pointing out the issue with the hook. This one is much more interesting. ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:41, 10 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
