A comedic YouTube video features a person sharing their ancestry and genetic health results from a DNA testing kit. The individual discovers they are 99.1% Ashkenazi Jewish, which they jokingly attribute to being "purebred" due to "years and years of incest." They also learn they are predisposed to being overweight, lactose intolerant, and having elite power athlete muscles. The video takes a more serious turn as they discuss their genetic health risks, including late-onset Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and breast and ovarian cancer. Fortunately, they do not have any of the high-risk genetic variants for these conditions. The video ends with a lighthearted tone and a promotion for Dollar Shave Club.
