Kid Slaps his Brother with iPad


Recommended Posts

Haha, I wasn't expecting to laugh because I figured it was set up. But the motion and sound of the slap was just perfect. (Y)

That is as fake and as set up as they come, I cannot believe people think it is real?

Looked like it was going to be another dumb setup, but after that last swing (and boy does it look gone) just made it so funny!

I don't see why it matters. I found it funny and it being staged or not is irrelevant.

Good for you then? Obviously I disagree, and I do think it being staged or not is very relevant.

But if you want to be technical about things, I was not even commenting about if it was funny or not, I was actually commenting about the fact that I could not believe some people by the way they were commenting could think this was possibly real.

And obviously staged stuff can be funny, any movie, sitcom, etc are staged, but I just do not find people on youtube who so blatantly stage something with little to no effort hoping to get views funny. The perfectly positioned camera angle, the trying not to be obvious kid on the left who conveniently moves into position to be slapped, the fact the video is literally cut before you get to see any true aftermath of the actual hit, all screams of amateur to me, never-mind the fact that they made it an iPad as they knew it would get views and if it was anything else it would never even have gotten any attention from anyone. Those reasons are exactly why I did not find it funny in the slightest. But again, I was not even commenting about if it was funny or not, just how I hoped no one actually thought for a second it was real.

Friggen siblings. This may have been setup, but it is typical sibling behavior. I've noticed my gf's children acting this way and then they come complaining to us about it, and our response is always "why don't you just go to another room? do you have to be right next to each other picking on each other all the time?"
