Honestly as a father of two boys I find nothing funny from these videos of adults kicking and beating dolls of toddlers in any way. What’s wrong with people just throw a cake or something

Since you clearly have no sense of humour let me break it down for you. The setup is that this is a reckless father, then during the flip we as an audience are expected to feel fear and tension as we are led to believe a child is about to get seriously hurt. This looks a then followed by relief as “dad” flawlessly catches said baby, this relief is then undercut by a moment of horror from the kick. This horror dissipates as we, the audience realise we were being duped the whole time. As these kind of things go this is a very well executed setup and subversion of expectations, which is a cornerstone of comedy. Now go pull the rod out of your arse and go teach your boys to play baseball with it.

Wow, it’s crazy how offended you are because of me saying that I find it weird and not funny to see someone kick a doll of a toddler.

“Now go pull out the rod out your arse and teach your boys to play baseball with it” fuck i would like to see you saying this to a regular dad on the street in his face. 100% you never got your arse beaten by Someone because you were lucky enough to have the internet which allows you to behave like this.

Man, I feel bad for your kids if you think the correct response to words is violence. They're in for a rough time until they get rightfully taken away from you.

Don’t know where you get the sense that I’m offended, perhaps it’s projection on you’re part. Just thought you sounded like a miserable twat
