About
You’re Not My Dad!, also known by the hashtag #NOODLEHEAD is a phrase uttered by a young child in a viral video on Vine uploaded by user Jessi Lockett. The child yells at the camera, saying “You’re Not My Dad! You always wanna hear something!”, then calls the person holding the camera an “ugly a** f***in’ noodlehead.” Both the initial and last lines of the video have been used in mashup videos on Vine, or videos where the soundbyte is paired with other clips for comedic effect, similar to The “Lebron James” Kid.
