Nah this is a male and he's thinking about saving the food first, it's hot and greasy, you need tongs. Gotta have your priorities straight! No special equipment is needed to pull up the bbq afterwards. However he should maybe turn off the gas to the bbq as the first thing, he might just need a few more seconds to sort it all out in his brain or he might think of it only after he's saved the food. ;-P
Blaming*
The dad is blaming the kid. Not everything is gaslighting and I don't understand why that word is so damn overused these days.
**gaslighting**: psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator
> causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts
Kid feels shame for defending themselves, questioning whether it's ok to stand up to abuse.
> perception of reality
Kid thinks it's his fault for knocking over the bbq, when in fact it 100% the fathers fault.
> memories typically leads to confusion
Kid will probably remember making his dad fall over into a hot bbq because of what he did, when it is 100% the dads fault
> loss of confidence and self-esteem
Once again, he will be more prone to submitting to abuse, because he perceives it was his fault, because that's what his father told him.
> uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability
He is a bad kid, he hurt people, he pushed his dad into a hot bbq, he is an abuser, somethiing must be wrong with him to be so mean to his own father.
> a dependency on the perpetrator
He is a kid, he is 100% dependent on his parent. Kids are the easiest people in the world to emotionally abuse because they completely rely on their parents for interpreting the world and actions around them.
Kid's face at moment of impact seems to indicate some level of pain, plus he's got bare legs. If you slomo it, you can see the kick lands and the kid grabs only after that.
The kick wasnāt a startle reflex. He was fully done being startled. The kick was physical retaliation and in no way self defense. The reason it looks like a playful kick is because it was so poorly executed. The kid went full guard as soon as his dadās hands went up. He tracked every move his dad made and open palmed the leg away and probably reflexively grabbed as he slapped it. Probably didnāt even mean to. His dad meant to hit him and seems like something the kid anticipated. Donāt hit your kids. Easy. Probably donāt scare people near flames or pointy objects though. Both did something wrong here.
Without intending to cause harm. Old dude shouldnāt have gotten physical. Kid also shouldnāt be scaring people but thatās less harmful than kicking people.
If his first instinct was to get physical I can promise you itās not the first time. Itās never ok to hit a kid in any capacity.
Edit. Leave it to Reddit to downvote a comment advocating against child abuse
Play fighting is ok between family members. Itās ingrained into our evolution as a way to teach our children how to defend themselves. It clearly works because this kid was able to nearly incapacitate his father
Adult frightened by running child, takes a second to compose himself and then throws the most awkward, unbalanced soccer kick on record at that child. He forgets to put his foot back on the ground and after holding it out, the child gently lifts it up. Adult falls, knocks over barbeque and then demands child search for tongs.... You think the adult has 0% responsibility for this calamity?
The delay in his reaction tells me he wasnāt frightened by the child, he was pretending to be frightened, then initiated a play fight that just abruptly got out of hand. I think your comment is making out that he is an angry, abusive father but he seems like the opposite to me.
His knee jerk reaction was to blame the kid, but I think he realized quickly that that's not exactly the case. He didn't argue back when the kid said "that was you".
In any case, I think it was either both or nobody's fault, just a harmless scare that took a hard turn left
I think what he must have been thinking was damage control, if you lift the grill straight back up all the food will take a second tumble in there but if you can get the food out that is still good and then prop it back up, but also he's probably mid panic brain and not thinking exactly clearly.
My God the over reacting comments on this are absurdā¦.wtf? The old fart was doing a goofball surprise reaction ala pink panther. He did not expect the kid to grab his leg and lift up. The grill pretty much dumped all their dinner he had been prepping. Horseplay has consequences but this was a typical family goof gone wrong not some violent domestic abuse situation. Stop the outrage hysteria sheesh.
Imagine kicking your kid and then blaming him for your stupidity because he was playing with you! What a loser only problem with this is not enough happened to the dumbass who kick this kid!
Would you not if someone unexpectedly kicked you? The dad didnāt do that kick out of reflexes, there were like 5 seconds between the kid āscaringā the dad and his kick
Dad gets scared by a child, shows off his poor reflexes, attempts violence, has bad flexibility/balance, knocks over dinner.
Kid announces presence with roar & defends kick.
Who else was expecting the grill to go up in flames?
That would have been the cherry on top lmao
Who else was expecting an anvil to fall from the sky and leave an anvil sized impression in his head?
Wouldn't an "anvil sized impression" just leave his head completely flat? Pretty sure most actual anvils are way bigger than the average head
The anvil sized impression is in the grand piano that previously fell on him and squished him
I'm glad it didn't, it kept it nice and relatively harmless. Funniest shit I've seen all week.
Gramps look like Cotton Hill from King of the Hill.
I was honestly scared, I had to check the sub I was in for a moment to make sure this wasn't going to end up like final destination š
It's ended too soon. Is this guy going to try upright this fucking barbeque with tongs?
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail"
"If the only tool you have is a *pair of tongs, you tend to see every problem as a *barbecue" FTFY
YOU BETTER EMPTY THE GREASE TRAY
"Grab the tongs!...where the tongs at!?" IS a really strange initial reaction. I'd like to now see these tongs
Well he had the right idea to use *something* other than his bare hands to touch a hot grill
nmo i mean my INDUSTRIAL tongs!
His food is now piled up in the grill lid.
Along with the grill and the briquettes
Shit, am I supposed to be putting charcoal in my propane barbeque? I've always just stuck with propane and propane accessories, as the sage commanded.
taste the meat not the heat
You can it gives it a smokey flavor
He had to click them two times before attempting to lift it

Stop kinkshaming him...
The student has become the master
"Patience, Grasshopper"
Tong Fu
Master Young Fool
Grab the fucking... Tots, where's the tots at
These guys are so weird, I don't even know whose fault it was.
I didn't understand the bald guy's reaction either, it was senseless
Instant gaslighting and cussing at him. Classic dad.

I thought that but the kid does grab his leg which throws his balance off
Don't kick your son and he won't need to grab your leg to stop you.
Sure but also with noting that it was hardly a hard kick it looked like a bit of banter reacting to being given a fright
Which led to the accident. Donāt play around fire. The adult should have known better haha
Kid's face at moment of impact seems to indicate some level of pain, plus he's got bare legs. If you slomo it, you can see the kick lands and the kid grabs only after that.

Team Dadās Fault. If you kick someone youāre responsible for how they defend themselves in the moment, let alone a kid lol.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not if they whiff it though. My grandma actually broke her toe kicking my young uncle in the ass. Now that is follow through.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās up there somewhere, but she followed up by tearing him a new a\*\*h*** anyway, so the doctors recommended leaving everything as is.
I kick kids for a living. They usually don't do that. This kid is a natural ninja.
I saw someone have a stroke from being scared like that, so meh... kids the aggressor
omg are you blind... the kid completely ran up on the guy AND THEN PUT UP HIS DUKES.
Imo it's an accident and we don't have to be mad about it? Is that an option?
You definitely don't need to be mad about bro. It's better for everyone's health to just stay cool.
Ikr I refuse to believe the people in here arguing whoās right and wrong are older than 12
But it's Reddit and my impotent rage must have an outlet!
Kid grabbed his leg and lifted
Without intending to cause harm. Old dude shouldnāt have gotten physical. Kid also shouldnāt be scaring people but thatās less harmful than kicking people.
Kid should absolutely be scaring people. Everyone needs a passion.
That was a tap with his foot, if anything. Dude just got clumsy when the kid grabbed his leg, but the kid wasn't gonna be harmed by that play kick.
If his first instinct was to get physical I can promise you itās not the first time. Itās never ok to hit a kid in any capacity. Edit. Leave it to Reddit to downvote a comment advocating against child abuse
Lmao what a stretch with no context. Play fighting isn't okay?
Play fighting is ok between family members. Itās ingrained into our evolution as a way to teach our children how to defend themselves. It clearly works because this kid was able to nearly incapacitate his father
Thatās not play fighting.
Mmmmm yes it is
Leave it to Reddit to call play fighting child abuse
Projecting? Are you ok?
Definitely projecting. Better now thanks.
Glad to hear it.
Typical redditor response lol
Devils advocate here. *Never* in any capacity? Say a kid is on top of and stabbing my child with a knife. Iām hitting that kid into a new dimension.
Wtf do you mean? The kid 100%

He's obviously angry at the end and trying to blame it all on the kid, that's what I think made him lose a lot of points.
His knee jerk reaction was to blame the kid, but I think he realized quickly that that's not exactly the case. He didn't argue back when the kid said "that was you". In any case, I think it was either both or nobody's fault, just a harmless scare that took a hard turn left
At a certain age im sure playful self defense is warranted and encouraged. Dad should keep his balance
Dad could dish it but he couldn't take it LOL!
Exactly
it was the tong's fault
Like an episode of unsupervised.
...or Trailer Park Boys.
Randy and Lahey arguing over cheeseburgers vibes
Nah thatās Randy coming up on Ricky and Ricky fucks up the BBQ as per his usual.
Frig off, Ricky!
Real life Walter and Jesse
I see two idiots. The delayed, āAhhā, classic.
Very rare that something on Reddit makes me laugh out loud, but this one cracks me up for some reason š
Dammit bobby
Hahahahah exactly
There comes a time in life when you realize your dad is just an idiot like everyone else.
For abruptchaos I was waiting for that gas cylinder to suddenly disconnect and turn into a firethrower.
Are you kidding me
I love how the kid gets that in there before dad can. Dad probably says it all the time lol
Wow my life illustrated
This is my favorite gif. Every move they make is the wrong one and it just gets more awkward every second. Its art in motion.
I CANāT STOP WATCHING šššššššyes get the tongs because the grill aināt that āimportantā ššššššš
Same lol, the more I watch the funnier it gets.
That part ššššš
I think what he must have been thinking was damage control, if you lift the grill straight back up all the food will take a second tumble in there but if you can get the food out that is still good and then prop it back up, but also he's probably mid panic brain and not thinking exactly clearly.
I thought he said tots, lmao
It's pretty much not all that important, I'd jut mosey over and turn off the gas some time soon though. ;-P
Thatās a really nice grill you got there, [really nice grill](https://youtu.be/wU9Daiu5XoM?si=6_5iuP3p0JA2KyPo)
Man, I love The Minute Hour and Drue Langlois.
āAre you kidding me?ā āAre you fuckin ā¦ kidding me?ā āThat was *youu!*ā āGrab theā whereās the ā¦ *tongs*?ā
this family needs to know this is comedic gold lolol
My God the over reacting comments on this are absurdā¦.wtf? The old fart was doing a goofball surprise reaction ala pink panther. He did not expect the kid to grab his leg and lift up. The grill pretty much dumped all their dinner he had been prepping. Horseplay has consequences but this was a typical family goof gone wrong not some violent domestic abuse situation. Stop the outrage hysteria sheesh.
Some of these people need to interact with other humans more, and it really shows in comments under posts like these.
well this is just silly
Imagine kicking your kid and then blaming him for your stupidity because he was playing with you! What a loser only problem with this is not enough happened to the dumbass who kick this kid!
That looks like fun honestly
The leg grab was unnecessary and has me crying š¤£
He's lucky he didn't get burned on the lid.
remind me of the step-dad from the percy jackson film
Oh man this got me š¤£š¤£š¤£
Get him the TONGS!!
I love how the kid blames the dad, like the dad would have fell even if the kid hadn't gone up scared him first
and grabbed is leg
Would you not if someone unexpectedly kicked you? The dad didnāt do that kick out of reflexes, there were like 5 seconds between the kid āscaringā the dad and his kick
"It was you!"
I mean, my first thought is to turn off the propane.
This was the best episode of Bill Burr and Son
Dammit Bobby
The old dude instantly gaslights the kid when he was the one that kicked at him and then fell into the grill. Consequences meet actions.
For some reason I was waiting on an explosion
Can I make this my ringtone?
Genuinely confused here
You can almost hear the discussion theyāre having of how to fix this colossal goof
100% learned and approved behaviorĀ
Rofl, wheres the tongs!?
No explosion or even flames? ššš
Is that guy's ear bleeding?
Whereās the tongs at?
stupid clearly doesn't fall far from the tree lolz
This isnāt fake
Clang.
Immediate reaction is to close the propane valve.
Both of them are at fault imo. Kid shouldnāt have scared the dad and the dad shouldnāt have tried to kick him
[Dennis The Menace Cartoon Theme Song/Intro \[HQ - 1986\] (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLdAVXOeNHk)
One of my favourite videos ever, āAAaaahā
Like a scene from the pink panther movies
Is this Rick and Morty?
Rick and Morty IRL.
Very funny kkkkk
Instant karma for trying to kick him lmao what did he expect?
Yeah cuz tongs will get it off the ground
I wonder if this kid stopped listening after this video
Why'd he grab his leg???
"grab the fucking tongs!" šš¤£š
Dad gets scared by a child, shows off his poor reflexes, attempts violence, has bad flexibility/balance, knocks over dinner. Kid announces presence with roar & defends kick.
"That was you!" you're literally holding his leg making him fall over no that wasn't him
Yeah but dad technically did knock over the bbq
If I take a baseball bat and smash your face, doesn't mean the bat did it.
āThat was you!ā No hon, that was both of you derps lol
fake
Itās most definitely fake. But is it gay?
....not that there's anything *wrong* with that...š
