This video is by a Youtube uploader called 'Boogie2988'. He tackles the modern day issues through posting videos of him talking about recent events. He also performs comedy sketches, where he takes on the role of a character called 'Francis', which he created. Francis is a classic example of a nerd, as he gets up to all sorts of nerdy things in his many videos. The video above is named 'Early Christmas Present', and includes Francis receiving two Star Wars lightsabers from his mum. The way he reacts to the presents and what he does with them are heavily associated with the stereotype of a nerd.
Francis is obese, wears glasses and speaks with a lisp. All these things could lead to him being bullied and classed as a nerd. Francis doesn't wear extravagant, superhero marked clothing like the characters in 'The Big Bang Theory' do, but instead he wears plain clothing. This could be because it is hard for him to find clothing his size, and it also shows a lack of style. He has a great knowledge of computers and other form of technology, and he is a serious gamer. He also lives with his mother, even though he is over 30 years old. Other videos that can be found on his Youtube channel associate him with these things.
The video opens with Francis playing video games as he ignores his mothers call. He is surrounded by high-tech equipment and isn't interested in coming away from it until his mother says that he can open an early Christmas present. The viewer will get the impression that he is like a child and has failed to grow up and mature, and this is proven by his reaction to the news that he can open a present. He is gaming online using his computer and is wearing a headset. There are also empty cups and litter on his desk, which shows that he spends a lot of time at once gaming as he collects a stash of food before starting to play. It also shows that he doesn't care about the mess he is leaving, and is only focusing on his game.
The main part of the video shows Francis both opening and playing with his new lightsabers. His reactions when he opens his presents can be heavily associated with a child's. His face expresses a look of shock and excitement as he marvels at the lightsabers. His dialogue expresses more excitement on his part as he shouts out the names of characters who own the lightsabers from the Star Wars films. He repeats the phrase "Oh My God" as he unboxes the toys, and his excitement grows as he starts to play with them. He imitates the movements of the characters from the films and seems generally overwhelmed with excitement and joy. He is enjoying himself too much to stop when his mother asks him too. He also goes to play outside, which shows that he doesn't care if he is seen playing with kids toys in public.
