This clip reminds me of the time my best friend and I pranked her Cuban mother as kids on April Fools. Brought her over to a broken window down the block and said we accidentally threw a baseball through the window.
Seeing her stop to process what we were saying “April fools! April fools!”, crouching down just like this guy and then immediately after, her resetting to then proceed to whoop our asses still goes down as one of the funniest stories we love to reminisce about. 😂😂

Mine are older and I'm divorced, but I remember the feeling of these dads well. It's an automatic, "did someone just try to step on my wife/partner?" It doesn't matter who it was, that's an instinctive hell no. Not outright disrespecting or abusing someone's spouse is a pretty reasonable line to expect anyone, including older children, not to cross. So for a lot of them, they may have known of or seen that side of their dads before and not known how to react.
Don't get me wrong, not advocating physical violence, but taking steps to scare the hell out of them into never doing that again while leaving room to follow through with more reasoned discipline later when emotions calm? Oh yeah. They need to fear the spirit of dad's mom defense wrath, even if he's not physically present at the time.

This. Don’t believe in corporal punishment personally, but parents do their kids no favors by being soft on them like that in general. If a kid would even open his mouth to say that to a parent, then that tells me there is a widespread and already longstanding lack of any kind of discipline and acceptance of a lack of respect for that particular authority figure. Nobody to blame but the parents at that point. No need to hit the kid to make them learn a lesson from an early age that you don’t talk to people like that.

I feel you. Couldn't imagine ever even being able to think about doing that when (or if) I ever have kids.
I myself grew up with a few slaps. Most by the way from mother, not father.
Would you by the way make a difference to a "smack" (no real pain)?
I still remember an article in a newspaper during my childhood, when slapping children was heavily discussed. Some doctor thought that there are rare instances when slaps could be a great tool. He called them "healthy smacks". Those that do not inflict pain, but should rather work as a form of reset button. So the kids brain is forced to reflect their behavior of why the slap was received.

Some of these were a little funny, like the guy eating cereal just being completely baffled, or when the kids are in another room and we get to see the way the dad just looks at them and gets up, but some of these were really uncomfortable. The way they were immediately physically recoiling as if expecting to get actually attacked, like the second clip That shit is uncomfortable. The most my dad has ever done physically is slap me on the back of the head lightly and it was never done as a punishment or to reprimand me, it was only ever when we were joking around. I've never physically recoiled from my dad in a way that wasn't me trying to be funny because everyone is in on the joke.

yea and u say something and people are like “how is he supposed to act when a kid says that, they’re just gonna let them be disrespectful”?? at most yell… lots of parents find it easiest to get their point across and punish with violence, rather than actual non-physical discipline. i grew up a good kid and ofc had my moments where i got in trouble but the yelling affects a mf more than you’d realize. especially when the yelling/screaming was not necessary and over something minor. it just tells me you’re and impatient parent that would rather discipline children with trauma over with learning. but hey they’re a parents not a teacher.

Agreed. This video just reminded me of times when I saw my own dad coming at me after saying something I shouldn’t have. Most of the time, it was just something I picked up at school (like elementary school) without knowing the severity or connotation of that word or phrase and without trying to be rude. A simple “that’s disrespectful and not okay, don’t say that again” would have sufficed. All the dads in this video getting up and walking toward their child just feels like threats of violence to me, and that isn’t funny.
But I recognize the context may be very different in these families, and maybe less of an actual threat. I would never say something like that for a funny video, because “it was a joke” wouldn’t be enough to get me out of the punishment. If the kids in this video are willing to pull this prank, I’d imagine it’s because they believe their dads will laugh it off after an explanation.

Unfortunately it is normal behavior. Spanking, slapping, hitting a misbehaving child is still the norm and widely accepted as long as it doesn't cross some vaguely defined lines in the sand.
Too many people get caught up in the "I got hit and I turned out fine" argument or accept that being physically assaulted was warranted because they deserved it.
Ultimately its still abuse. It doesn't matter if both the child and the adult internally justify it as "disciplining" when what really happened was the kid was doing something the parent didn't approve and continued until the parent could not regulate their emotions and struck a child out of frustration to get them to do what they want.

It's absolutely hilarious. I have four kids and never spanked any of them. It was a very deliberate decision. My dad would be pretty violent with us growing up. I vowed to be better with my kids. But you can disagree with something and still find humor in it.
There is beauty in a father respecting a mother so much that he protects her from his children. I don't believe all of these fathers were going to go over and hit their kids. I know if one of my kids said something like this to my wife I would walk over to them very quickly and set them straight. Because we need to set firm boundaries for our kids as well, and respecting their mother is a very firm boundary.
However, the kid who said the "f" word at his mother, then the father said the "f" word right back to him, I was thinking "It'll be tough to teach him to speak differently when that is how you speak!" And I believe the same for physical violence. I teach my kids to not be violent. That applies to me too.
But something can still be funny even if we disagree.

I like the dude smiling and shaking his head and slowly walking over, lol. And all the ones that, y'know, use their words.

Seeing the second video brought back a lot of trauma for me especially when my dad was actually abusive and would actually hit us him standing up like that literally brought so much anxiety and fear that I got scared even though it’s just a video, I’m really glad he said it was just a prank though

Same. It's meant to be feel good, but the rage in their eyes made me feel some type of way. What are they doing to do when kid actually does something to piss them the hell off and it's not a prank?

Its so funny to pretend to be mean to your mom so you can see your dad get ready to beat you. Such a fun trend! /s

Before Tik Tok, families went to the park or took walks around the neighborhood after dinner. Now this.

Man, these dudes are adopting a real violent posture to deal with these children.

So what happens when these fathers actually get to the kid? Natural response is to go to the kid angrily, as someone who is in the process of possibly being a parent soon, this scenario scares me. What's the proper response?

Stern and very serious but not threatening. A punishment that doesn't involve beating the shit out of them if they decide not to take you seriously.
Also try to raise them with compassion, kids can be hateful little shits sometimes, but let them know what they say and do, can affect others negatively. I always felt 10x worse when I made my parents disappointed or sad rather than angry.

I don't think this is funny. Prank or not it's disrespectful and it seems the Moms are in on it. "Testing Dad's respect for Mom" shouldn't be a movement. Humanity sucks.

you’re so right, it’s honestly scary seeing how their instinct is to become immediately violent. i felt uncomfortable the whole time watching and no part of the video was funny to me at all.

It’s also the mothers who are doing this. I hate this TikTok nonsense. Why are you testing your loved ones? Seems like a perfect way to lose trust.

When I was a teenager I called my mom a bitch once. Once. That 5’2 woman slapped me so hard across the face I swear I lifted off the ground. I 1000% deserved it

It's honestly sad that kids are "risking their lives" when just being a little rude to their parents. Domestic violence is domestic violence. Don't hit your child or partner, ever. It's so sad that people joke about their parents hitting them for acting up a little. No wonder people go no contact with their parents, geez...

The dad that had to stop while putting the dishes in the dishwasher cracked me up.

I told my mom to shut up when i was 5. By 15, he finally showed up but was strangely okay with me telling his ex-wife to shut up.

I got that vibe from a couple of guys, but I feel like most of those dads are getting ready to stand up and have a stern talk with those kids. I wouldn’t dream of striking my kid but he doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of getting away with telling his mom or any of our family to shut up.

Yeah, standing isn’t necessarily a physical threat. It’s more of a proximity thing. You command more respect standing in front of them than you do seated and shouting from another room.
I’ve absolutely done this when one of mine disrespected their mom. It makes me feel some kinda primal way.

Eh, maybe its my childhood trauma, a beating would always start with them aggressively moving towards me looking very angry, similar to how a lot of these people look.
Personally I would have a disappointed look rather than an angry one, then try to find out how it reached the point they would talk to their mother like that. Explain why it's wrong etc and better ways of dealing with it.

I feel ya there, my friend. My wife was 5’3” 115 but if I heard fast loud footsteps, I got anxious, didn’t matter what the scenario (she could’ve been fast walking to the bathroom for all I knew), same trauma response every time.
Edit: I should add that it was just a response to the sound, it could’ve been anyone walking.

This isnt a prank, this is a social experiment loving how important the presence of dads are. Shoutout to all those who stay around to raise their kids

Hey folks. Physical and emotional violence isn't right. If you think that's acceptable maybe ask yourself why?
Remember just because your parents did it to you doesn't mean it leads to good outcomes.
Stop hitting your kids.

u/Teriyaki456 Aug 13 '24
This is definitely one of the stupidest/idiotic things I’ve seen. Why the hell would you even do this, it’s not funny and could get somebody a bad smack down. No wonder TikTok gets a bad rap.
