In many Johhny Johnny videos, the father is almost always depicted sitting in a chair or other furniture. This, combined with his relatively jovial attitude that seems far too happy than any other parent should be, implies that the father may be suffering from some sort of mental issue. Seeing that nobody else is around, it can be implied that Johnny's mother is dead, and they are the only two in the home.
As a result of this, Johnny has been forced to mature at a very young age. This is implied through his numerous attempts of obtaining sugar, and the overtly-complicated routes that go into getting to it; in this case, hopping on the chair and table like stairs. He has to think critically in order to support his small family.
The sugar, representing childhood, is put up somewhere safe so as nobody, including the father, can disturb it, as it is the one precious thing Johnny has in his life. His visit and eating of the sugar is nostalgia, thinking back on the good times Johnny has had. However, his overconsumption of the sugar implies that Johnny does not like the grown up life, and wishes to return to a simpler time.
His father, startled easily by loud noises due to his disorder, always confronts Johnny about it. Not only is the father someone Johnny takes care of, but he also serves as a limiter on the son. He reminds him that while it is okay to be nostalgic about the past, there are current duties in the present that cannot be neglected.
Johnny momentarily feels guilt, then sucks it up to be a better person for the future, hoping to leave the past where it should be. However, it is inevitable that Johnny, like many people, will always come back to the sugar. They want to forget the duties of the present, and instead have another taste of a time that can never be recaptured.
