The 10 Cruelest Pranks Played On Children By Parents(Videos)

Remember those computer games that you would have people play only to have a scary face and a loud noise be the end result?

Remember when your own father played that particular trick on you as a young, impressionable child?

Remember being so scared that something in your brain short-wired, causing you to completely lose faith in all electronic equipment as well as your own father?

No? Well, this kid sure as hell does.

Yes, this particular video involves a little boy of about 5 or 6 singing "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears.

Yes, there are a multitude of jokes and comparisons that one inevitably thinks of while watching him dance and sing along.

No, we will not "go there."

Yes, it's hilarious when his mom scares the daylights out of him, discovering his secret love.

No, we did not rewind the video and watch it over and over and over and over again. That would be immature.

This video goes for pretty long, and the payoff isn't until sometime near the end. We'd give you a timestamp, but we feel that you have to earn this one the same way we did. Take it away, little boy.

So we all watched scary movies when we were younger. We all were also warned about the potential nightmares we'd have by watching these scary movies.

HOWEVER, we did not all have parents considerate enough to enter our rooms with chainsaws to prove their point.

Remember that kid a couple items back who was so frightened by a computer scare prank that all faith in electronic equipment and his father was lost?

This is that kid's best friend. Feel free to scroll to 00:35 for the payoff.

Ok, so we'll admit that right at the beginning of this video, when a brother and sister are scared by their father causing the son to retreat to the fetal position (while his sister simply backs up, thus providing years of therapy material for when he's older as he considers the definitions of "manhood" in our society) is pretty funny.

HOWEVER, the real selling point of this video is at 00:30 when the son gives his dad a tongue lashing for what seems to be years upon years of torturous scares achieved by jumping out of dark places. Maybe there's a man in him after all!
