Jimmy Kimmel Persuaded Parents To Prank Their Kids With Bad Christmas Gifts In The Cruelest, Funniest Joke Ever
Some stuff will never not be funny. Children saying goofy things (the darnedest things, if you will) definitely falls into that category. As does the absolute glee that some overworked parents take in occasionally messing with their children so as to coax out those darned things. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel tapped into that rich, rich well brilliantly last Halloween when he persuaded his viewers to pretend they ate all their kids’ candy and then video tape the reaction. Well, we’re reaching some new child-favorite holidays and, while the Halloween bit was funny, Kimmel has perfected it this time. For the new yuletide version, Kimmel got the parents to wrap up some of the least fun items they could think of and give them to their kids under the guise of a “special early present.” As you can imagine, the results are painfully funny.
I could go into more thought about this whole thing. You know, analyze the more interesting reactions (why do you think the kids given gifts designed for the wrong gender seem to be the most hurt?) or something. But, really, there’s no point. This is just funny. Mean maybe. But really, really funny.
