Oh come on - Tootin' Bathtub Baby Cousins [118,622,220 views] & Poddy Training [54,742,936 views] by miles

i'm kind of terrified at the prospect of having kids because this stuff has like no reaction with me whatsoever.

but i'll watch otters holding hands for a solid hour

All of them suck at least a little bit (except for the babies laughing at each other because it's funny to me that babies find things funny so they're great) but the bathtub buddies and potty whatever are just completely fucking moronic

When you feed us beans there's trouble!

I mean, wtf even is that and exactly who does find it funny?

the evolution of dance one aggravates me.

David After Dentist is the best of these. Giving a child drugs is the only way to make it at all interesting.

x-post ?? I vaguely recall that being from something or supposed to be something else but not right now. Also I'm not saying farts aren't funny I mean sometimes they're hysterical but those videos are not funny.

why is it that people with kids always light up with giddy schadenfreude when they see videos (or real life scenes) of children getting hurt or humiliated in mostly innocuous ways? are they expressing an unconscious desire to hurt their own kids, or am I being too harsh here?

yeah babies and kids fart all the time, most parents don't sit around taping their kids shitting their pants.

i can tell i'm going to be a father soon because the kid videos i see all day make me *~~misty-eyed~~* ;_;

They do not.

these are all completely irredeemable

i dont even understand what's going on in "maybe cute to somebody asian girl sprays coke all over the room = 139 million views"

I kind of like David after Dentist, but I feel conflicted bc, as mentioned upthread, seriously who films their kid like this?

missing from list:

- baby quadruplets laughing at the same time
- dude gets locked out of his house by his wife, who forces him to dance so she'll let him inside
- dude puts dog shock collar on himself and barks, collar shocks him

I hate evolution of dance so much.

but it's refreshingly child-free

most parents do sit around taping their kids shitting their pants, but they lack the finesse needed to post shart noises on a public website.

evolution of dance is like not even accurate

I like David After Dentist, but not as much as Daaaaviiiid Booooooowiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee, which I'll happily watch a dozen times a day.

xpost and like 6 minutes long

i have never once filmed my kid farting. surprising, for me.

hard to hold the camera and the lighter at the same time

Daaaaviiiid Booooooowiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee ??

isn't that an annoying phish song...oh wait they are all annoying.

i've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

lol

c'mon omar - spill it

i should do a video called the EVOLUTION OF FARTING and be a YouTube millionaire

evolution of dance is like not even accurate

I know huh, Yahweh invented all those dances 6,000 years ago over the course of a single week. the MC Hammer dance is far too complicated to be the product of a bunch of chance mutations.

i've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Attack ships farting off the shoulder of Orion...

haha.

what the fuck is wrong with you people these are all hilarious except for evolution of dance

pee streams from a baby hitting a dad in the face

oh "tootin cousins" sucks too

and "poddy training"

but the rest are hilarious

I always assumed that this impulse was actually being reined in by the people with kids, cos I don't have kids and if I see a kid walk into a lamppost or something I'll still be laughing an hour later.

well that video sucked, nm

the last time I visited my parents I had to listen to my mom and sister repeat the "charlie bit me" thing over and over and over so I will never watch that shit

Evolution of Dance is bad, but having not seen Tootin' Bathtub Baby Cousins & Poddy Training before I must offer my hearty WTFs. I have literally no idea why these are popular.

The rest, I can get with, fuck the haters.

This is the only one I care about:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWuH9mmhC3Y

Can I get a phone ring of that kid saying "Lob-stews?"

Okay that one is cute. "Can I touch them? No?"

is this thread confined mostly to babies or is shit like keyboard cat allowed

but i'll watch otters holding hands for a solid hour

Was cuter in real life.

Poor Victorians, they had to make do with Dickens-esque serializations of orphans in work houses starved and maimed in wool-felting presses so that their guts squirted out all over the carpets.

LCD youtube videos still better than LCD chuck lorre sitcoms.

lowest common denominator soundsystem

I'm really sorry, all you kid-haters, but now I'm hugely amused by OTHER, less dumm vids:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBM854BTGL0&feature=related

That one is all time imo. There is another kid that prob came up in the "related videos" one called like Ella talking about Wookies or something like that and it's also great.

btw I didn't mean to imply that I don't like kid videos. I just don't like the dumb ones. I spend a fair amount of my free time watching cute puppy and cute kid videos.

Here she is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=229NvV0SRHw

I can't even tell you how much I love that kid.

some kid vids are alright, not as good as cat or dog vids. i don't find kid videos too annoying unless it's fred figglehorn or something.

I'd just like to take a moment to rep for this Abraham Hicks video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzQeur_-Xgw

gonna have a kid and monetise the shit out of it via ads on cute youtube vids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCOPNuuGeKA

How does this only have 7 million views? It is the best one!

The Star Wars girl: dying over here. OBEEE KENOBEE

And that monster girl is going to grow up to be Buffy Somers. I like how matter of fact she is. It gives me hope for the future.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

OTM, except I do have a reaction, and it's disgust. Maybe not the best sign?

i'll watch like 8 hours straight of the most inane and completely worthless but still professionally produced television before i spend 5 minutes on youtube watching shit like this. i kinda miss when the internet was a bunch of words, some music, and the occasional picture.
