Need a Laugh? Watch Parents Break the News to Their Kids That They Ate All the Halloween Candy
(Photo: YouTube)
Last Halloween, comedian Jimmy Kimmel issued an open challenge to his audience that rapidly exploded into a YouTube sensation with roughly 34 million hits. The task? Tell your kids you ate all their Halloween candy, then upload video of their response. The result was so hilarious that Kimmel did it again this year, and it’s no less amusing.
From the toddler who collapses on the ground in tears to the children who are way too old to be throwing such tantrums, the video has already been watched thousands of times since being uploaded earlier today.
The first girl appears to take the news relatively well, analyzing the situation in her head before asking seriously: “Did you eat my suckers?”
When the mom says “yes,” the girl’s face transforms almost immediately into this:

When one of the parents says Jimmy Kimmel told her to do it, the child angrily shouts: “I hate you Jimmy Kindle!” Another morosely cries while simultaneously trying to eat a bowl of cereal.
But the end of the video is perhaps what’s most entertaining– after watching youths of all ages lash out at the terrible news, one energetic little girl unexpectedly hops up and down with a smile and says, “That’s otay.”
Another boy brushes it off and tells his mom: “That’s alright. I just want you to feel happy.”
The video concludes with a precocious little girl responding the way a clever adult might, saying she’s not mad, just “sad.” Maybe next year, she hints, they can share her candy.

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 7:34pmWhat kind of a sick parent makes their child cry and then posts a video of it on the internet? This is the kind of stuff that makes kids shoot up schools when they become teenagers. Kids aren’t toys that exist for your amusement. If my next door neighbors forced their child to cry and then humiliated them by post the video on the internet, I would report them to child protective services. This could hurt a child more than punching them in the arm. The arm bruise eventually heals.

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 8:55pm@MRMARKJOHNSON,
I agree with you 1000%.
The rest of you people who think this was “funny” just don’t get the important trust relationship that exists between children and parents. When a parent plays a prank like this on their own child, it teaches that child that their parents can’t be trusted 100% of the time. This creates conflict and confusion in a child. It’s not a matter of lightening up. It’s a matter of fostering your child’s can trust in you.
The really sad part is how many of these parents, and the Blaze’s readers, are in the dark about this.

The way some kids handled it was they were very saddened (and probably confused). Children are no different from adults. Some people react to abuse by becoming violent, some get depressed or both.
The reason some of you find this funny or even hilarious is that candy is a joking matter to an adult. Not so to a child. The most telling reaction came from one of the older girls who said she and her sister had “worked so hard” to get their candy. Would you think it was hilarious if your husband came home and told you he had gambled the house, just to get a kick out of watching your reaction?

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 1:14amPlaying practical jokes on little kids its just cruel. Seriously, how can anyone be amused by making kids cry.
Whats next? Maybe Jimmy should ask for videos of people telling their neighbor that they just accidentally ran over their dog and killed it, and then post their reaction on youtube. Then you can say “Jimmy Kimmel told me to do it” and you can all have a big laugh. Funny stuff right?

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 1:39amWow, I thought there were some crybabies on the video, but then I look at some of these comments and I see the REAL crybabies.
Lighten up. My parents played this same prank on me when I was a kid. I laughed at them, because I knew they loved me and would never do such a thing. Please don’t feel sorry for the ones who pitch a temper tantrum or cry, they are learning a valuable lesson which will serve them well later.
Also, you should do this to your kids too. If you don’t prank them every now and then, you are failing as a parent to prepare them for life.

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 2:01amThis is why children need a mother AND a father in the home. So Dad can play “bad cop” and Mom can play “good cop.” Dad prepares them for the pranks and hard knocks, then Mom cuddles and nurtures.
It’s why our society is so screwed up: Because progressives have broken the traditional family, and our society now produces either molly-coddled, spoiled liberal morons OR hardened, callous thugs who only know “take” and not “share.” Balance is required in all things, especially in molding healthy minds.
Anyone calling this prank “abuse” is going to end up molding a spoiled liberal me-monster – UNLESS they have a spouse who balances out their mollycoddling with some strictness and structure.
I am not going to debate this, so don’t bother. It is right and true, and if you disagree with anything I said here, you’re flat-out wrong.
One caveat: Single parents CAN BE capable of raising a healthy child, but it takes an especially wise person to pull it off – and only with help from family and Bible/God/church.

You ARE debating it, and what you said is neither right nor true.
If your idea of raising a kid is playing “bad cop,” I doubt your parents loved you like you claim. Maybe you laughed as a coping mechanism, or because you never cried as a young child and already suffered from the “bad cop” syndrome.
There is nothing healthy about good cop/bad cop parenting. BOTH parents should prepare their children for tough situations, and playing pranks has nothing to do with being strict or providing structure. In fact, playing pranks is pretty much a liberal concept, since pranks are essentially based on deception and when they cause pain — especially to a child — they absolutely do not come from God. The fact that the child reacts badly reflects your own stupidity, not poor behavior on his or her part.
A godly man’s job is to set an example, discipline when necessary, and consistently teach life lessons from the Word of God. Since parents hold the power over their children, they should make sure their pranks are age-appropriate. Kids get their fair share of pranks from siblings and peers, so don’t think they are missing a valuable life lesson if you don’t film them while you make them cry, just so Kimmel gets his video.

Jokes make you laugh (if they are witty). Pranks elicit different reactions, depending on who, where, when, why and what was involved. But like I told macho man, the common denominator of all pranks is deception. So if you all want to politicize this story, it looks to me like the liberal award goes to you.

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 5:11amDo you have any statistics that “this could hurt a child … down the road?” How about thinking that this: is teaching children what happens when you lose something that’s not supposed to be too valuable a good worldly wisdom we all need? This gives children preparedness for life’s bumps in the road that are bound to occur.
The way you, and several others are talking makes me wonder if you’re an entitlement leech. Expecting that paycheck at the 1st of the month, and if it’s late or doesn’t arrive you call the county yelling and screaming just like these junk-food babies.
1). The Parents are in charge… what they say goes. If they want to ration out the candy, or even take the candy away for the kids misbehaving then that’s their God given right. Any judgmental onlookers need to mind to their own Tasmanian children.
2). I don’t particularly like Jimmy Kimmel or Sarah Silverman. Knowing this comes from their warped sense of humor, does give me pause when smiling at that video. However, after reading several sheltered pacifist’s whining in the comments section I found positive in the skit. Look to the end of the video… the last few kids were wonderful and knew right from wrong. There were also a couple kids I can see a long criminal rap-sheet in the horizon for.
I guess if I say “boo” when my kids aren’t expecting it and they jump, that’s child abuse too? Pansies.

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 6:10am@woolfree – There is a different between playful teasing and making your child the **** of a joke by publicly tormenting them. I routinely tease my kids, but always in a measured way that is designed to their individual understanding and capacity. One of my boys was having awful growing pains when he was about 7. I took a handsaw into his bedroom and told him that I didn’t know any way to help him, except to cut off his offending leg. But I said it in such a way, with exaggerated facial expressions and head nods that I KNEW he would pick up on. The effect was miraculous as he broke out in a belly laugh that distracted him from his very real pain. Then, I immediately and empathetically held him in my arms and told him I loved him, gave him some tylenol and reassured him that the pain would pass. A great bonding moment, a teaching moment, and a reinforcement of a healthy sense of humor.
As a consummate tease, I found most of the antics in this video reprehensible. The parents THOUGHTLESSLY caused pain by an unmeasured and badly administered “joke” at their children’s expense. If you don’t know the difference between healthy teasing and tormenting, I feel sorry for your children who really do merit better. Some of these children were mentally and emotionally prepared for this prank, but it is clear that most of them were not. Teasing can be constructive if done in wisdom – that is not what most of this was.

1. How about thinking that this: is teaching children what happens when you lose something that’s not supposed to be too valuable a good worldly wisdom we all need?
—
That would be a valuable lesson all right, but it is not the context here. If you are going to teach your children wisdom, you need to contextualize your lessons appropriately, or else you will reap confusion, to say the least.
2. The Parents are in charge… what they say goes. If they want to ration out the candy, or even take the candy away for the kids misbehaving then that’s their God given right.
—
Again, that is not the context. These kids were not misbehaving, and no rationing took place. You seem to lack basic logic. The parents are as much in charge at home as the govt is over the nation. The former get delegated authority from God, and the latter from We the People. That means neither one should abuse their power. Talk about liberal inclinations.
3. I guess if I say “boo” when my kids aren’t expecting it and they jump, that’s child abuse too? Pansies.

Depends, lamebrain. If your child is too young and starts crying like hell, yes. If your child is a little older and gets a little startled but then realizes your demeanor is playful, he will react positively. If he is older you can use the opportunity to engage in playful wrestling. If it’s a girl, different behavior applies. Dumbo.

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 3:21pmMy mom told me at age 7 that I was too old to go trick or treating anymore.
It was not a joke.
I was then a “spoiled brat” for crying and fussing about the news.
My father felt sorry for me and gave me some candy the next day but the ritual was over in my house.
Later in my teen years my mom cited her religion as her reason for having nuked my fun each year, and then much later she admitted she just had bad knees and didn’t like standing around as we walked from house to house for candy.
The memory still irritates me, but I did not shoot up a school over it. Back in my day, there were quite a few youngsters who didn’t get to go for at all one reason or another. For the first time, I stopped and considered what it must be like to be them.
I think kids can easily laugh off a prank because the “joke” part of it demonstrates that their parents know they are being cruel. It would be much harsher if the candy gobbling the parents claim they did was the truth.
However, I have to add that I think the kids who say “that’s okay Mommy” probably eat candy every day for lunch. It’s only easy to shrug off the offense if you know your mother will make it up to you somehow. The kids who start hitting their parents are self entitled brats, plain and simple.
The kids who cry and ask their parents why they did it are the kids who don’t get candy every day, worry their parents won’t make this up to them, and are not used to “pranks” of the Jimmy Kimmel nature being played o

Hey, Pete, you are one of several self-centered parents here, who won’t even acknowledge that some of these kids cried inconsolably, some lost control and a few passively accepted their fate. All were heartbroken.
You rationalize abuse of power by blaming the victim for reacting badly. Ironically, your authoritarian stance mirror Big Govt. ideology. Big Brother knows better. Big Brother is in control. Suck it up, you stupid ant. It ain’t so bad.
Some of those kids who protested loudly may be the future warring patriots, who rise to fight when injustice rears its ugly head. They just need less stupid parents, so their feistiness is channeled for good and not evil.

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 3:27pmSome of you on here are something else. I suppose you guys never told your children about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy or anything else? If you think about that, most have lied to their kids through the time, that child development specialists say, they develop the most important building blocks of their future. Did it affect you? It did not affect me and it did not affect my children that I am aware of. I still pull pranks on my adult children, and they still, to this day, get me every April 1st.

Good observations. Nobody is saying a single incident of this nature will cause antisocial behavior in children. However, parents who see these types of actions as THEIR RIGHT will likely repeat the offense, possibly out of ignorance of child psyche, or because they themselves are insecure or they have an unhealthy notion of authority.

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 4:39pmKrypto, Not sure why you say that, A lie is a lie, no matter what to children. I say that looking back at the true meaning of Christmas, telling your kids that Santa brings you toys is like a lie and practical joke in many ways. Same with the meaning of Easter and making it about the Easter Bunny hiding eggs and bringing baskets. The Tooth Fairy? Now that is some kind of practical joke, once you grow up and learn it is false. I believe that my post is actually in context. Lying to kids is lying to kids and I believe if it is done in fun, it is a practical joke. You must be a Fox News misinformed Romney supporter. You know, I just got back from a trip halfway across America to visit my ailing mother, and I had the pleasure of talking with my uncle, who is a lot like all of you Romney supporters. He espoused the same old rhetoric; Lesser of Two Evils, Our country is toast if Obama gets another four, a vote for anyone but Romney is a vote for Obama, etc… I told him I was going to tell him where he did his research, and to tell me if I was right. I said; “You get all your research from Fox News as that is all you watch all day, right?” He paused for a moment, and then he said, “Yes.” Enough said, Oh and by the way, after a week talking with him and showing him real research, I believe he is having second thoughts of Romney. Chalk one up for the good guy’s.

Look, as a Christian, I don’t care much for Santa. That said, you have to distinguish between fantasy and lies. I’m not that good at it, but children love and thrive on fantasy. If you treat them like adults, you are going to destroy the way they construct the world when they are young. Pranks do not foster creativity in the receiver. Most, if not all, generate a little embarrassment if they are harmless, or stronger negative results like shame, fear, anger, violence, depression and sometimes even death, if the prank goes terribly wrong.
Here’s a good article FYI. I don’t agree with the evolutionary slant, but the main point is valid: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2005/12/the_real_reason_children_love_fantasy.html
As for having won a new convert over to your political cult (if true), what is there left to say? You know you will answer to God. We’ve already done all the admonishing we could do, dude. Free will in a fool’s hand is the deadliest weapon of all.

Posted on November 4, 2012 at 6:54pmThat’s right people. Trust is the number one issue between adults as well as children. I would go so far as to say that lack of trust is the reason the whole world is so screwed up. Just because we’re used to it doesn’t make it right. So that’s real funny when you shatter your child’s trust in that formative little mind of his or hers. Can you imagine the feeling, when a parent who is the source of all security, betrays you and you’re 5 years old? Gosh, that’s just so funny. The way the children react is a direct reflection on the immaturity of the parents as well. Morons. Oh well, just another lost generation…. Who cares, right?

How about these parents pick on someone their own age to have some adult fun with. Kids have feelings too. God never intended for you to be a dictator in your own home. Respect those things that matters to them, if you want them to love and respect you back.

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 4:40pmWhat is it about getting to be on television that drives adults to torment their own children so an audience will laugh. This is a whole new generation of parents that I don’t understand. Disgusting!

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 6:38pmTotally agree! I can’t believe these parents would VIDEO their kids being mad/sad/heartbroken…whatever for the sole purpose of having others laugh at them. Perhaps they won’t think it funny when their adult children do the same to them as dependent elderly folks! Mean spirited pranks aren’t funny…they’re just mean.

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 7:11pmOh I agree with you two. Obviously, parents should be soulless bags of flesh. Their only job is to coddle their children and never EVER have any enjoyment in their lives. Why would they ever consider playing a trick on their children during Halloween? It’s not like the whole motto of the holiday is: ‘Trick or Treat’.

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 8:23pmThis is child abuse. Those kids will always remember that their parents made them cry about something they REALLY cared about, just to get their kicks. These are the idiots who then expect their children to trust them and respect them.
@RAVENGLENN
If your “trick” makes the kid cry, it is no longer a trick. It’s cruelty. Your kids will meet plenty of people in life who will get pleasure out of watching them cry. If you think it’s OK, then you have a mean streak in you, and next time it comes out — and it will — it won’t faze you either.

BOUGHT YOUR SILO YET?
Posted on November 4, 2012 at 1:47amSome people on here are so out of touch it is unbelievable. There is nothing wrong with teaching kids to laugh at themselves. Life will never be the perfect utopia that progressives want it to be. Nothing at all wrong with playing practical jokes on your kids, as long as you don’t mind it when they return the favor. Again, teach your kids how to handle disappointment and they will handle life as grown-ups in the same manner.

Fair enough. I’ll play for little Johnny, since he wouldn’t have the mental sophistication to return one in kind. What would really make you cry? How about you look the other way for a split second, and next thing you know, Johnny has disappeared. You call out his name, but he doesn’t answer. You frantically look around, but you can’t find him. So you start to cry. But Johnny was just hiding. Come on, SILO, it was just a joke. Try and laugh a little. After all, you taught your child to laugh by making him cry.

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 4:32pmAll conservative parents should confiscate 25% and All liberal parents should confiscate 39% . Then get the reactions from the different kids. Then explain the difference to the kids. I bet the reactions will be very instructive..

Do you know the definition of melodrama? For starters it connotes fake emotions. What is fake about what LEADNOTFOLLOW said? You may disagree with the person’s views, but don’t accuse someone of being fake just because they don’t agree with you — or call their post “stupid” without bothering to posit a reasonable counterargument.

If you are saying that those who did not scream or cry are the future Tea Partiers, you might be mistaken. Those could just as well be the sheeple of tomorrow, who submit instead of fighting against injustice. Or the type of child/adult that commits suicide and nobody saw the tell-tale signs.
Righteous anger is a good thing, just so you know.

Spare me. I’ve been hearing that line for four bleep years now. I didn’t see anyone being asked to share, did you? I heard a totalitarian parent tell the poor child that he/she took the kid’s candy away and ate it ALL — just like that.
You try to take my stuff away just cuz you’re Big Brother and see what happens. Maybe I’ll be dead, but rest assured I’m gonna throw “things” your way too. And no, you’re not forgiven until you apologize for STEALING my stuff, Ms. Redistribution of Wealth to Yourself.

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 4:30pmI agree, playing jokes sometimes is cruel. But I liked the one boy who said, “that’s ok, I just want you to be happy.” There were a few very well adjusted, kids giving very loving answers at the end. It’s never to early to start teaching kids values. Most of those kids valued the candy more than their parents…not good. More love, more talking, more lessons to teach. It would be better to start out by asking the child. “Which do you value more, mom & dad or candy? Then say you ate the candy and see what they do. Less Drama, perhaps a lesson taught?

Posted on November 3, 2012 at 5:10pmGood comments, Pigswillneverfly. After reading many comments about how cruel it is to lie to your children this way, I asked myself why I didn’t think of these clips in that manner. If 34 million watched last year’s, the videos could be teachable moments for both parents and all others who watched. Many will be able to view the differences in how others raise their children, and in turn, consider how they are raising their own.

——
How about it we do it the sensible way and ask the ADULT first: “Is it appropriate for you Mom or Dad to joke about stealing from your children? Who do you value more, your children or that idiot on TV who is telling you to make your kids cry? How about if you curb your itch for fame?
Your take that some of these children valued their candy above their parents is very disturbing. Children don’t pit mom and dad against candy in their little heads. That is a highly irrational conclusion.
