[High Praise! to RAML]
Full disclosure: I don’t have kids.
On the other hand, knowing people who DO have kids, I know that at some point, every parent has that “I love my kids, but I wish with all my might that they would just stop acting like Satan’s spawn for JUST FIVE FREAKIN’ MINUTES!”
This video is ONLY for people who know EXACTLY what it’s like to feel that way.
If your children are little angels who never frustrate you, skip this:

Pretty funny in a frenzied way, until the woman gets punched in the stomach because she “feels pregnant”. Kinda highlights the child hating selfishness of our society more than the hilarity of trying to parent children, which is more like teaching English and toileting skills to an angry French midget.
I have to side with Mae on this one. I wince when I see any kind of violence against a woman, even in an over-the-top comedy. Funny and good production, though.
Yeah, the punching thing really seemed unnecessary. Wish they’d left it out.
On the other hand, the rest of the video was great.
If there is anything we can learn from Mel Brooks it is that hilarious and tasteless are not mutually exclusive.
My second kid pulled that tantrum crap when she was little. I’d spank her, and it just made her madder. I’d send her to her room, and it just made her madder. She flopped down in the middle of the livingroom floor and started her tantrum. I picked her up by the gallusses of her overalls, carried her into the bathroom, dropped her in the tub and turned a cold shower on her. No more tantrum. Next kid came along, started this crap, and I figured, “Aha!” The cold shower did not work with her.
I, like Harvey, do not have any children. I do, however, have four nephews and three nieces. There is a definite need for a product like this.
The kids on the couch was funny. The rest too tasteless – I got that feeling starting with the baby wrapped in the blanket.
But – a car system with spray nozzles for the back seat makes good sense.
The first part was funny, but I started to cringe as it kept going. When I see something like that available for public viewing I’m always a little concerned that some idiot will be inspired to imitate it.
Chris – you would not believe how many videos I’ve watched, thinking “the Moon Nukers would LOVE this!” then they start throwing in completely unnecessary cursing, or some sequence of tastelessness or stupidity that wrecks everything.
Breaks my damn heart.
Some days I err on the side of decency, other days not, but I’ll at least give you fair warning if all is not well.
