That’s the kind of family humor I grew up with. BRB, I’m going to my counseling session now.

Same experience. Being the 5th of 6 kids, I think I was told that I had every disease know to man. And some that they just made up also.

I see that your upbringing had no effect on your mental well being ..
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" October 31st, 2014 at 5:04 pm
Actually, it did great. I can laugh at myself quite easily. The fact that we look so down upon spanking now, is hard to swallow. When I was bad and out of line. I caught a good rap in the back side… Has not effected me one bit. Made me realize that there was repercussions for my bad behavior that was meaningful…
I gotta agree my folks got me with practical jokes like this too. My folks once had me packing all my stuff ( mainly a tron shirt, Optimus Prime , he-man and some drawings i was working on) because they made me believe we were going to be homeless. Oh they laughed and laughed.

As long as you aren’t doing the same to your kids!

If it is humor, what he does with his kids, isnt your concern.

what the hell is erong with some adults, that is not humor.

There is nothing that makes this right. Wrong, wrong, wrong. No, don’t “lighten up”. Kids need to be protected from this kind of shit–and when it’s their own parents doing it to them, it’s pretty appalling.
tracey marie October 31st, 2014 at 8:51 pm
It is, it is parental abuse and bullying. Those two making jokes are tp
Pistol-Packing AKA "Susie" October 31st, 2014 at 3:14 pm
BHhhhhhhaaaaaaa HAHAHAHAHA…. There is nothing cruel about that. I see it as nothing more then playing and teasing with your kids.

Cruel and idiotic. If they don’t care about showing how stupid they are on the internet, I hate to think what they do when the cameras aren’t rolling. Poor kids, having to be strapped with those two.

exactlly, how hard is it to intimidate scare and bully a child. I am appalled at those types of adults and the ones who find this bullying behavior funny

Well the kid knows for sure his parents are Grade A aholes

Some of those kids were adorable, some were not so much 🙂
Ramona Grigg October 31st, 2014 at 6:56 pm
I have a great sense of humor but I’ve never seen anything funny about deliberately making kids cry. Stupidity beyond belief.
tracey marie October 31st, 2014 at 7:10 pm
this, “challenge” was childish, cruel and sadistic

Maybe, but it was popular enough to become a trend on Kimmel’s show.

That is why it is even more dispicable. I remeber this nastiness
