When Mama Isn't Home stems from a viral video uploaded in 2014 by an Australian father and son duo. The clip features the father playing a trombone while the son rhythmically slams an oven door to create a high-energy electronic beat. The absurdity of using kitchen appliances as percussion instruments combined with their stoic expressions turned the video into an instant internet classic. Today, the template is used to represent chaotic fun, improvised creativity, or the wild things people do as soon as authority figures or parents leave the house.
