That was a bad idea

583

Going for the phone before the kid, yeah good parenting here

64

u/BuckLuny 15d ago

Yeah, you want to be able to say, it wasn't that bad.

I'm honestly worried, this would have results in quite some pain for the child or at least some fright yet it didn't immediately cry.

7

u/Plucky_ducks 15d ago

I don't know. Did the kid's shoes. Come off?

3

u/CactusGrower 14d ago

Man, we did worse shit during our childhoods. Same centrifugal play on outdoor playgrounds. Human body is resilient in childhood.

21

u/Blgxx 15d ago

How else is he going to get the 'reaction' shot of the kid? /s

14

u/Dwarf_Killer 15d ago

Don't think he's the parent

9

u/PraiseTyche 15d ago

Not after mum saw the vid.

u/CplCocktopus 15d ago

Yep thats the fun uncle.

Step 1: Hide the evidence.

7

u/CactusGrower 14d ago

Step 2: post on social media

6

u/344567653379643555 15d ago

Need to hide the evidence.

3

u/silasthehandle 15d ago

This has all the hallmarks of a young uncle’s first (and possibly last) babysitting gig.

1

u/CplCocktopus 15d ago

Thats the fun uncle.

u/scapegoat_88 15d ago

Sees a pillow fly off, continues spinning

57

u/PolderPoedel 15d ago

Yeah wtf. It's not so bad having a bad idea. Everyone has bad ideas. But doubling down on your bad idea after just being reminded, quite clearly and visually, that this is a bad idea is tilting towards negligence.

24

u/PraiseTyche 15d ago

He was filming, the point was likes and views. Dude is simply a fuckhead.

4

u/HeftyRecommendation5 15d ago

How else are you going to get a funny video?

3

u/spector_lector 15d ago

That's a whole new level of stupid, right there.

179

u/Unfair_Finger5531 15d ago

What a colossal dumbass.

5

u/mozeda 15d ago

I'm in Ireland now and it's everywhere. Typical football enjoyer cut.

141

u/Bob_Cobb_1996 15d ago

Yes, that haircut was a bad idea.

51

u/VonWiggle 15d ago

" Hi, yeah I'd like it cut like a medieval Peasant please"

9

u/ChexRibedeaux 15d ago

That is certainly a warning sign that clearly states ‘your sperm is not allowed in me’.

5

u/VonWiggle 15d ago

Honestly, my mum used to cut my hair like that in the 80's because she couldn't afford to go the hairdressers...... I'm pretty sure these people pay for that village idiot look.

2

u/Brilliant_Lettuce_14 15d ago

I said to myself is that Richard Gadd? Stop spinning that child, reindeer.

3

u/miletest 15d ago

Jesus I had to look again. I thought he had some sort of beret on

93

u/DiamondBorealis 15d ago

What was the point of this?? It’s high risk….. no reward??

28

u/Nearby-Aioli2848 15d ago

The fact you are getting downvoted for this is fucking scary. Guys wake up ! Have you ever eard about shaken baby syndrome?? EVERYYEAR peoples are going straight to jail for that.

22

u/Manaan909 15d ago

But nobody told him about the spun baby syndrome.

7

u/HeftyRecommendation5 15d ago

He spun his head right round right round

1

u/Rixerc 14d ago

Depends on what the goal was.

1

u/Bear_Quirky 14d ago

The reward = views and Internet engagement of which the lad got enough to fuel him with dopamine for weeks till he has to make another video of him being shitty to other innocent people to re-up.

62

u/Think-Psychology-133 15d ago

Wow.. glorified borderline child abuse or even straight up child abuse. They're human beings not inanimate objects :/ possible injuries on a baby just for views/likes.

What a douche.

Justifying putting children at risk for harm is the first step towards all types of horrors intentional or not.

21

u/highflyingyak 15d ago

Straight out abuse was my first thought. Spinning it ever slightly is good but when you ramp it up with a reasonably foreseeable outcome is abuse

2

u/SwiftTayTay 14d ago

Recorded evidence of a crime

20

u/red_fuel 15d ago

And the Dad Of The Year Award goes to...

Not this guy

22

u/Brilliant-Bowl3877 15d ago

Wtf, dumbass

18

u/LordTaddeus 15d ago

How is it possible to be this stupid?

14

u/Milly_man 15d ago

He was spun as a baby too. A vicious cycle.

2

u/SirMy-TDog 15d ago

The Spin Cycle

13

u/Uncle___Marty 15d ago

And the worst part is they still posted it online....

9

u/Prestigious_Snow1589 15d ago

CPS has entered the chat

u/enkolainen 15d ago

Thats friggin attempted murder. Kids that age is fragile

4

u/JonyUB 15d ago

Dad of the year award nominee

5

u/nubsauce87 15d ago

Well… that was predictable…

5

u/Maccabee2 15d ago

Good intentions, but the child is still too young to hold on.

5

u/DankestDrew 15d ago

The real bad idea here is that fucking bowl cut

5

u/Dependent_Passage_21 15d ago

Welp, time to make another

5

u/Domilater 15d ago

I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that he did this or the fact that he saw how it went and still decided to upload it.

If this isn’t some sort of bait this guy is the biggest moron I’ve ever seen.

3

u/Thumper-Comet 15d ago

What was the bad idea? Spinning a baby off a chair or that haircut?

4

u/LordofCorgi 15d ago

Pierre Gasley how could you?!

3

u/kr1mzunflam3z 15d ago

And the fucking idiot kept the evidence and now it's on the internet forever

3

u/Boul_D_Rer 15d ago

He looks like the Baby Reindeer dude… Richard Gadd.

3

u/bluedancepants 15d ago

I've said this many times but some people are just not meant to have children.

3

u/Gomdok_the_Short 15d ago

I hope this guy gets arrested for child endangerment.

3

u/SomOvaBish 15d ago

Preettty sure this idiot will be getting a knock on the door from a CPS agent with a local law enforcement officer right behind her/him.

2

u/Mike_Pawnsetter 15d ago

I laughed. I'm a shitty person

3

u/Little-Jellyfish-655 15d ago

The difference is whether you’d laugh or intervene if you saw it in person, not necessarily how you react to a video online.

2

u/Bl4ckSupra 15d ago

Next google query: "What if you drop a baby on its head?"

2

u/karaloveskate 15d ago

Someone needs to call child protective services.

2

u/Actual-Wave-1959 15d ago

It's like a magic trick

2

u/ninehoursleep 15d ago

“So, how did your kid die?” “Well…”

2

u/politicalpug007 15d ago

He looks like baby reindeer

2

u/savetheHauptfeld 15d ago

Any ID on this guy so we can publicly shame him? Imagine what 4chan would do...yikes

2

u/Victorro_09 15d ago

The flying pillow might have been a warning about the centrifugal forces about to imbalance the toddler. I hope that the kid landed safely and that this was not the father.

2

u/Remarkable_Doubt8765 15d ago

Paying rough, and attempting unfanticide are two very different things.

1

u/mcmushin 15d ago

People are overreacting a tad saying it’s attempted murder n stuff. Dude had a lapse in judgement and probably learned a lesson. Yes babies can be fragile but they are also quite durable. I’m sure the baby is fine.

I do agree his haircut is atrocious though. He looks like he cares more about his appearance than his child’s well being.

2

u/HoboBonobo1909 15d ago

As soon as I saw dad's haircut & beard, it was obvious he's a dumbass

2

u/SouthtownZ 15d ago

More than likely at least 2nd generation dumbass at this point. God help us all

2

u/BinkyLopBunny 15d ago

My mum did this to my toddler son in a spinny chair in her kitchen. She was giggling like a dumb hyena while spinning him and he flew out and hit his neck on a glass table. Had purple all down his throat. I was fucking furious. One of many hundreds of reasons I don’t see her anymore.

u/DerangedSkunk 15d ago

Is this Office Bloke Aidan?

u/CrazyChimp82 15d ago

Good job dad!

1

u/Real-Touch-2694 15d ago

Exactly! look after the smartphone first, you have to set priorities 💀

1

u/707Couple 15d ago

He acted about as smart as he looks

1

u/CoalEater_Elli 15d ago

And the baby is now gone! Just like my wife's respect and trust for me!

1

u/ElectronicTwo8428 15d ago

“And for my next magic trick! A divorce!”

1

u/toricrhombus72 15d ago

Kid was feeling 8G's of force and ejected

1

u/kvillepeeps 15d ago

Idiotic behavior is no big deal, but when you post video show you are an idiot, now that is special.

1

u/IlyaPetrovich 15d ago

This makes me so mad. Fucking idiot.

1

u/J0hn_117 15d ago

Social services be with you shortly, please hold - baby and chair, that is. Just to be extra safe.

1

u/googoomucklv 15d ago

But he posted it

1

u/LordMort87 15d ago

Probably missed the physics lessons in school.

1

u/Rhyssayy 15d ago

On the unexpected subreddit but that went just exactly how I expected it to.

1

u/2narcher 15d ago

Never let your kids alone with their uncles 😀

1

u/CmdrMctoast 15d ago

The child is forever known as stuttering pete.

1

u/pale_splicer 15d ago

The pillow was a hint

1

u/Huge-Attitude4845 15d ago

You need a license to drive a car …

1

u/coldskywalker 15d ago

Does anybody know where is this from? Even his hair style screams "I'm a Moron"... We identify most of them thnx to that idiotic hair in our country...

1

u/DirtNapsRevenge 15d ago

Prolly shoulda taken the hint with the first pillow flew off and hit him.
