"I Gave My Kids A Terrible Present" Jimmy Kimmel Challenge {Video}
Oh this is just too funny. Parents from all over gave their kids a horrible present, got it on video, uploaded to YouTube, and Jimmy Kimmel shared a montage on his show.
Have you ever given your kids a bad present to be funny?

That little girl who said she loved her moms cooking is so cute lol.. She seems alot nicer about it all than the other kids lol..
Also.. TELL HIM TO SUCK MY BALLS!! :| Woah...lol
LMAO!!!
I see your truuuue colours shining throughhh.
@bbanmen420@xanga - She did. Kinda like she would have been okay if there were buffalo wings (un-nibbled on) in there, she woulda been happy, lol.
Oh my gosh, so funny!
Funny funny funny! It might be a funny joke for when my kids can actually understand that getting half a sandwich is a bad thing. (2 and 3)
My dad gave me a bundle of sticks one year. They got me on tape crying and everything. I was probably only 5 or 6.
While this was pretty darn funny, it just shows how much kids expects Christmas to be about gifts and how parents have forgotten to teach about giving to other and what the spirit of Christmas is really all about. Makes me kind of sad. :(
Part of me thinks it was awful to play with kids that way. Some of them will have a hard time getting over that. And yet, at the same time, I'm tempted to try that with my children to see how they take it. Honestly, I bet that they'd find a use for just about anything I gave them.
"Oh look, a potato! Will you make me smashed potatoes with it?"
"A half-eaten sandwich? Come here, Sammy, you can eat it" (He's my 2-yr-old who will eat almost anything).
And though I have all boys, they play with their female cousins often enough that they wouldn't care about getting 'girl toys' or even girl clothes. But, I just might be surprised. It's so mean yet so tempting....I could turn it into a learning experience about being a gracious receiver, maybe.
I think at the end of the day it is 1) funny (I would hope most kids will grow up, watch it, and laugh at themselves and 2) Possibly a good learning experience. If your kid is having a shit fit or saying stuff like "Jimmy Kimmel can suck my balls", you are probably doing something wrong.
The girl who liked her mom's cooking was so sweet...the balls kid though, that made me lmao.
That little blonde girl was so adorable talking about her mom's cooking.
The 'suck my balls' kid...my folks wouldn't have found that nearly as funny as I did (Jimmy's reaction, btw - hilarious!).
we once gave my little brother a potato... he didnt believe us when me and my older brother said we would then when he opened it on xmas he cried.
This is like a double edged sword. It's funny as hell to us, but how devastating to a kid. Can you imagine being handed a present and expecting it to be fantastic and opening a moldy orange or something? Like really? I probably would have made it super-funny and less gross/inappropriate.
To people that think it's sad the kids were freaking out/crying and getting upset. Christmas is EXCITING for kids. Nobody expects kids that young to be all about giving and helping others as the main meaning of Christmas, I sure don't. I looked forward to opening all of my presents each year as a kid, and I look forward to wow-ing the kids with the stuff under the tree each year now as a parent. Giving and helping others is an additional meaning to the entire process.
We do joke-y type presents here. I got the kids a hamster cage and all the accessories while we hid the live hamster in an aquarium in our room. They opened the cage and stuff and were like "We don't HAVE a hamster!" then we brought out the aquarium. We've also given them Wii games and left the console to be the final present to open. Stuff like that is playful but fun.
@amyunicorn@xanga - i agree. i think it is a little more of a playful jokey type present to give the things like you have, than to give a kid an old banana or a toy that was not gender/age based for the kid. i think that is just devastating to a kid.
but what you did was cute.
my uncle wrapped my gift in a 24 pack pepsi box once. :o)
Ugh, kids are so freakin' spoiled. When I was a kid, I was lucky if I even got anything, we lived in someone's GARAGE for fuck's sake. And when we got something, we were GRATEFUL.
Thank the deities I'll never have children.
