Jimmy Kimmel told parents to tell their kids they ate their candy.

You have to see it to the end.

1. I'm sorry, but that's just psychological child abuse. It isn't funny.

Kids take these things very seriously. It might be funny to watch a guy cannonball into an ice-covered swimming pool, but freaking out children like that is just cruel. Call me a prude, but it's cruel.

2. I prefer to eat their candy and then tell them that I didn't do it

And then I cannonball into a frozen German swimming pool.

[HopeHoops]

3. Yeah, but at least the Germans were laughing. The kids weren't.

[Orrex]

18. The guy with the busted ass wasn't laughing, but I take your point.

Honestly, I don't like those "we ate your candy" pranks either.

The version that we play in our house involves actually picking up the bowl full of candy and implying that I'm going to eat it all right now. In our case, the kids love it because they see the absurdity of it and can tell that I'm not serious.


I would never make them think that I'd actually eaten it, though.

21. My mom used to threaten to throw it out if we didn't behave. She meant it.

I had sort of a fucked up childhood.

4. Were you raised in a large family? Yeah, these things leave a mark.

But the video was so worth watching for those three old souls at the end of the video. I teared up.

[HopeHoops]

11. No. Me and my adopted brother (who died of Reye's Syndrome at 13).

Shit like that is child abuse. I went through my own experience with child abuse and swore not to do it to my own kids. I didn't do it. They're good kids and free from the images that haunt me every fucking night.

12. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences.

I made promises to myself about how I wanted to raise my family, too, based on my childhood experiences. I just never expected to find interference coming from where it did come.

15. You have to play the hand you're dealt. Two years later my girlfriend died chasing me in her car.

We'd been together two and a half years. I don't remember what the fight was about, but I know my last words to her were "FUCK YOU!"

My car was faster.

I came back around and found her car wrapped around a telephone pole. I'm still a stain on that community, and I deserve to be. That incident has haunted me since it occurred in 1982 and it will stay with me through eternity. It was my fault. Everyone said it was hers for following me, but I refuse to accept that. I fucked up. I killed her.

20. 1982? You were just a kid.

Probably in your twenties. It's time to forgive yourself. Not that you'll listen.

[HopeHoops]

22. I was 19. It was the day after her 17th birthday. We'd been together 2 1/2 years.

And yes, we planned to get married.

5. the lady with the boy in the diaper that threw the water bottle at her

needs to clean her house before she posts videos on youtube.....what a mess!

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Exactly!

[blueamy66]

13. I would never post that video if my house looked like that.

I have no children, but come on.....my nieces each have 3 and their houses don't look like that!

[Baitball Blogger]

14. And she had time to prepare. That's the crazy part.

[blueamy66]

17. she deserved the bottle to be thrown at her

[Baitball Blogger]

19. I could so undertstand why that little boy was learning how to act out his

aggression. Enough is enough!

7. I am ashamed to say that I made it a little past half way.

Not entertaining and a little sick if you ask me.

8. Run to the end of the video. Listen to the last three kids. Marker 4:16

I promise you it's worth it.

[rrneck]

9. Making kids cry is not funny. nt

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Run to marker 4:16 to see the only redeeming value of the video.

Agreed, it was cruel. Twisted sense of humor.

16. Had that been done to me, I'd just accepted it as being whipped would have been the alternative

had I raised a fuss. I certainly wouldn't have thrown anything at my mother lest she say those dreaded words "Just wait till your father gets home!".
