The show follows Norm, a conservative father placed under house arrest for yelling at his progressive daughter's school board. In the short clip, he can be seen complaining about beer with rainbow packaging on it (seemingly a reference to Bud Light's 2023 campaign) and about his daughter's school "brainwashing" her.
Norm then encounters Chaz, a non-binary person sent by the government to "reeducate" him. Chaz is shown to be put off by Norm and his Black friend Charlie's friendship. Over the course of the clip, Norm is also routinely reprimanded by a HAL 9000 robot for using "offensive" language.
