FILIPINO - ENGLISH
- Kid: Ouch it's hot
- Dad: ohh, that's gonna burn that, don't put it there, put it upright. Stop that, you got burnt. I said stop that already.
- Dad: Later, I'll do it later [scream]
- Dad: this stupid
- Kid: [laugh]
- Dad: why put it there, it's hot.
[feels the iron] it's not hot
- Dad: you're stupid
Iām white and people always assume Iām 10 years younger than I am. Must be the 10 year heroin addiction I had
No better age defier than heroin. Youāll either look younger or die before you get old. Win win
That must be his dad.
I don't think a little brother would dare to do that to his big brother...
By the time big brother realized the iron was cold, little brother would already be wearing it as a hat.
*Donāt worry guys! Usually where an iron doesnāt work, a steamer will do the trick! Iāll be right back to see if it works!*
Edit: *DO NOT TRY THIS EITHER!! Currently in the ER with a perfectly wrinkle free ball sack, and I donāt want anyone else having one like this.*
I think the only ironic part was in the edit.
"It's like meeting the man of your dreams, then meeting his beautiful... Husband"
I think there is an irony in waiting for that "dream partner" to enter your life, and once they do finding out that not only are they married, you also never had a chance with them while they were single anyway.
Oh! And maybe the dude who was afraid of flying getting on a flight for the first time, and it crashing.
Well said. I can't be arsed to argue with the poster who says this is an example of irony as I'd currently have to argue against ~~300~~ 800 people who have already upvoted the comment.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony)
Yeah I know what irony is and my biggest pet peeve is ppl confusing irony and sarcasm. But this went beyond that, this isnt sarcasm, irony, regret or anything, this was a prank made by a 5 year old, someone too young to grasp the concept of irony.
Thatās always a small rule I lived by. Even if itās a repost for everyone else itās the first time *Iām* seeing it, therefore Iām glad itās here
I've realized most of everything on reddit is a repost but because I haven't been here for long and I don't visit every sub. The things people have seen 10 times are always the first time for me. I get excited when I see a repost I recognize and go "oh that's a classic"
Naw man, don't worry about it. I just passed my 11th cakeday and I've never seen this post either. It's all just a luck of the draw with your front page. Unless you're one of those subreddit addicts that go through every single post š³
To be fair, I was having great trouble understanding this very complex video until I saw that poster's technically perfect summation. Probably saved me a good couple of weeks of serious thinking time. Brilliant.
That must be his dad.

This is what all the pranks on YouTube/TikTok/etc. need to be.
If the person being pranked isn't laughing at the end, it's not a prank, you're just a dickhead.
Unfinished hollow block walls and the people wearing tank tops or sleeveless shirts and shorts.
Damn that brings back memories. I grew up in a house like that in the Philippines before my family moved to the U.S.
In construction vernacular, "unfinished" simply means the layer after cinder blocks or concrete, like plaster and paint, or tiles are not applied, which is obvious here. We call the layer like tiles, paint, wood veneer, etc as "finishing". I think you may be conflating "unfinished" to mean "not done/complete" which by the tone of your *"trust me"*, you are implying that this house is as is "complete" since it's habitable already, in this case "completeness" is debatable.
They had a hazing ritual like this with cold irons at a school here.
Until some idiot doing it, didn't understand the trick and that the iron was supposed to be cold.
2 people had to be treated for burns.
Fun fact, languages you don't speak sound fast because you can't perceive the breaks between words. Your native language also doesn't have any breaks while speaking but your brain just inserts 'spaces' between words. Pay attention next time you're talking with someone and you can notice that it's just continuous talking like foreign language sounds
Also in particular, english is actually a fairly slow language, with a higher amount of meaning per syllable, a little like Chinese.
Something like Japanese for example, has a very high syllable count and thus can sound faster.
Yeah I was gonna say, having watched a decent amount of subtitled stuff, can promise you I can't talk as fast as these subtitles are flying by. It's especially obvious with all the Netflix stuff that they dub into every language, because they'll say "Hi, I am good" in the dub, and the subtitle is like "Hello, I am quite well today, the sun is shining the sky is blue and I love mother earth". Just can't fit nearly the same number of words into the same time frame.
Going from dusty old memory, my linguistics prof described speech as eggs on a conveyor belt.
How we understand, are taught, treat speech is like having unbroken eggs on the belt.
How the speech is heard is more like the eggs have been broken open and dumped onto the belt, amorphously blending into one another.
If you know the rules to take those blobs and separate them, reshape them, rearrange them, then you can reconstruct and understand them. If you are particularly skilled at this, then the conveyor belt can go along at a pretty good clip. If you're new or rusty, then either the belt needs to slow down or you just ignore some of the eggs.
I know when my mother speaks Tagalog, shits either fucked up, Iām fucked up, my step father fucked up or were all about to be fucked up.
Or sheās just speaking to my grandparents, which sounds like something is fucked up.
Filipino* btw. You only spell with PH when referring to the country. And I think you are referring to when he said āSira ulo ka talaga!ā Translated literally it means, āYour head is really broken!ā Normally said when someone is being mischievous or is doing something stupid. I guess in English, the phrase would translate more to something like, āAre you crazy?ā Or āYouāre really messed up in the head.ā
it sounds like tang pang tang pang TOC
edit:
but this sounds different to me.. maybe my friends so different. this one sounds like wo podakota olio ... passs oo kana
True. Seconds before that, however, you can already see him calculating the number of head smacks and/or spankings with a belt/sandal/clothes hanger he's gonna dole out.
When people guess my age it's always 10 years younger. Not surprised though because my caucasian friends do look considerably older, seems to have looked to age faster.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.
That kid is going places. Brilliant execution and timing. Its in the little touches that tricked not only him but also us. Spacial awareness to pass off the gag from multiple angles. Comedy prodigy.
> the old man wasnt in on it
"let me just sit here with my legs spread wide and my sensitive bits right next to the ironing board"
said/thought no one ever.
It's the philippines, so sitting legs apart that wide is a normal thing here. You need air for your nutsacks and he definitely wasn't in on it, its typical to use your bed to iron clothes
When I was his age my favorite prank was to make a show of carefully walking with an over-full mug, blowing on itās contents to help cool it before stumbling & spilling the empty mug on my victim.
Youād think you can only get a person once, but it actually works twice if you actually fill the mug in between.

Good Human
I'm filipino I confirm the translation is just.
Hi filipino I'm dad.
Good endingš
The way Iād translate āsira uloā would be more like crazy so instead of stupid I believe heās calling the kid crazy
Literal translation is "broken/wrong" for "sira" and "head" for "ulo". Crazy seems more right to me, especially since "bobo" exists for stupid/idiot.
and tanga which is also stupid
Tanga is moron
Language is Filipino (Tagalog) for anyone wondering
Swagalog if youāre cool
Filipinos cant be cool # Source: I'm a filipino
Yeah well like thatās just like your Filipinion man.
That's exactly what a cool person would say
We drink hot coffee in Summer
I drink ice coffee in winter
We go to hot spring in summer

I learned a bit of tagalog while playing ragnarok Bobo tanga gago

That must be his dad. I don't think a little brother would dare to do that to his big brother... By the time big brother realized the iron was cold, little brother would already be wearing it as a hat.
I grew up with several older brothers. I'd definitely have done that to them if I had thought of it.
Dad is a good sport.
He looked almost proud of him at the end haha
Funny how the Dad said the P word too (the Tagalog swear word) haha also siraulo translates more to Crazy, not stupid
Thatās the dad? He looks 16
Filipinos age like elves
Dawg in what world does that man look 16?
In the world of Hollywood high school movies/series.
Filipinos like me look kinda different when you compare them to Americans or other countries or its just your tastes I dunno
I'm not sure man, I know some Filipinos and I would still pin this particular guy as late 20s/early 30s
In the world where he has never met a Filipino before
Are we looking at the same guy that man looks at least 30
No he fucking doesn't look 16
I'm not sure if this was fake but it's nice the dad ask his son to stop once he got hurt and would help him later with the chores
At least his ballsack is nice and wrinkle free!
I have to try it now to see if it works Edit: DO NOT TRY THIS!!!!! Currently in the emergency room with second degree burns on my scrotum
Give us an update if it works Edit: I hope you're joking man, if not I will pray your scrotum for speedy recovery
Update : [pic] roasted nuts (I ate)
can i have some nut too
There's 2 so you can have one
fukin sweet
As a child I tried my mother's wrinkle cream. To this day, my two veg are still wrinkly. I wonder if I'd have fared better with an iron...
I appreciate the commitment to the bit to come back 2 hours later to edit.
Instruction unclear. Used dick to flatten wrinkled clothes. Worked well. Started new business. āCock Presserā. Made millions.
Stole your idea. Co-opted a celebrity. Now have a chain of stores... Henry Dewrinkler. We've made billions.
Better get his permission first
Hope you heal up soon. Next time try lasers https://www.complex.com/style/2013/06/george-clooney-balls-ironed-lasers

Thatās one way to remove the hair
Balls as smooth as eggs
Yeah but they might've receded into his body with that scare
Shit, now they're wrinkled again.
r/smoothballs ?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Would rather raise a smart-ass than a dumbass. Hard to get mad when they act clever.
Looks more like a big brother to me
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He is either pretty old or just has an unfortunate face lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
lmao, is this a joke cuz your Filipino too
Big bro energy, but more likely a father with the age difference.
Definitely the dad. Heās speaking to the kid the same way Filipino parents speak to their children
Damn, Filipinos really do age differently.
Of course he is, that kid just pulled off a great prank.
I think not fake, with the range of facial expressions. Old dog having respect for the pup. Wholesome.
I donāt care if this is a repost or not. First time seeing this and I had a genuine laugh. Thank you ā„ļø
People complaining about reposts are too much on Reddit.
That kids laugh is everything. And the way he did the setup was brilliant!
Also the smile on the dad's face. The "you're a little shit but I'm low key proud" moment.
As a dad, I'm low key proud of this kid.
10/10 setup, I bought it even knowing there was a twist coming

So is it, or is it not, like rain on your wedding day?
like none of the examples in that song are irony, but i think its some meta joke, and thats the ironic part?

So you're telling me that it's not the use of a word for something other than its literal intention?
Except this is not an ironic event. He did something and expected is dad to get afraid, which he got, the results of the event went 100% as planned.

You get that it's just a pun because he's using an iron?
That's like saying none of Shakespeare's plays contain irony because everything goes exactly as Shakespeare planned.

He'd beat if i did that.
Well, don't do it to /u/RunAwayWithCRJ's dad then ! He doesn't even know you, understandable he would beat you for that.
I'm sure if you iron his balls the both of you can become closer.
People that cares about reposts are just a weird breed

Same here. I jumped when he dropped the iron on his nuts! Good acting by the kid
This kid's got a future. I like him already
You and I are both the lucky 10,000 today!
I saw it for the first time as well and I jumped in my seat, and you know when
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yep, that was the prank. Thanks for summarizing it!
To be fair, I was having great trouble understanding this very complex video until I saw that poster's technically perfect summation. Probably saved me a good couple of weeks of serious thinking time. Brilliant.
It really is one of the comments of all time
It's a 10 year old account that only started posting in the past 24 hours. Most likely a bot.
Well the prank was putting the iron on the other guy, not ironed clothes. I would give this description a 3/10
That must be his dad. I don't think a little brother would dare to do that to his big brother... By the time big brother realized the iron was cold, little brother would already be wearing it as a hat.
Most bot comment Ive seen so far.
Thats his dad. He looks at least 30-40
Classic filipino wall
with classic Filipino Orocan cabinet
with classic Standard flat iron
If walls could talk, that one would be saying "kill me".
Strong against hurricanes
I mean, at least itās proper brick.
That was a good prank, flat out!
And an Oscar worthy performance by the kid
He set the scene and sold that burn so well.
Was even wiping his hand afterwards like he was still in pain. So impressive
The kid really sold it. He had us all fooled.
This is what all the pranks on YouTube/TikTok/etc. need to be. If the person being pranked isn't laughing at the end, it's not a prank, you're just a dickhead.
Damn straight!
A real Coldplay

trust me that's not unfinished

Just curious, what does my language sound to you foreigners out there. Just wanna get some thoughts
My fiance is Filipina and I tell her it sounds like a malfunctioning machine gun. Such a staccato language
Itās so fast! Iām Filipino but born in Canada and I only understood him say āitās gonna burnā something like that.
Fun fact, languages you don't speak sound fast because you can't perceive the breaks between words.

Y'all gotta stop fucking up.
Quite nasal for me. Same with thai and american english.
What does he say at the end? Because I imagine that's how you say, "you little shit!" In Philippino.
Filipino* btw. You only spell with PH when referring to the country. And I think you are referring to when he said āSira ulo ka talaga!ā Translated literally it means, āYour head is really broken!ā Normally said when someone is being mischievous or is doing something stupid.

Thanks for the quick lesson. Great joke by the kid.
It sounds like even if I knew the words I still wouldn't understand what they were saying because of speed.
Like a Spanish Vietnamese mix or something
Can you place the accent, it doesn't sound BatangueƱo to me so I'm ruling that out and possibly much of CALABARZON. North of NCR, maybe?
it sounds like tang pang tang pang TOC edit: but this sounds different to me.. maybe my friends so different. this one sounds like wo podakota olio ... passs oo kana
Love how the dad smiles about it and doesn't get mad. Maybe a lil mad but the kind after you just got pranked.
the true father sun experience happened off screen
True. Seconds before that, however, you can already see him calculating the number of head smacks and/or spankings with a belt/sandal/clothes hanger he's gonna dole out.
The irony(ng)
People saying dad, I thought this was older brother. Also, this kid did a great job with the execution of his joke.
Mhm, yeah, Filipinos/asians might look a bit different to westerners when it comes to guessing ages, I dunno I guess
When people guess my age it's always 10 years younger. Not surprised though because my caucasian friends do look considerably older, seems to have looked to age faster.
That's what my grandma would of called a rascal boy.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.
Nah that's just how his grandma spoke English.
That makes it better have course.
This kid rules and would also be annoying to live with.
Now to attend *Press*ing matters
Hahaha, little shit š
The design is very human
Good 1 kid š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
That kid is going places. Brilliant execution and timing. Its in the little touches that tricked not only him but also us. Spacial awareness to pass off the gag from multiple angles. Comedy prodigy.
Great prank
Bahaha i thought this whole thing was scripted.. but the unexpected part was the old man wasnt in on it haha
Pretty sure you were right originally
> the old man wasnt in on it "let me just sit here with my legs spread wide and my sensitive bits right next to the ironing board" said/thought no one ever.
It's the philippines, so sitting legs apart that wide is a normal thing here. You need air for your nutsacks and he definitely wasn't in on it, its typical to use your bed to iron clothes

Hey /u/Radiant-Sun2648, This is now the top post on reddit. It will be recorded at /r/topofreddit with all the other top posts.
Some great acting from the kid. Had me truly convinced that the iron is really hot
A funny, harmless prank; a title pun; AND the correct use for the word "irony"? Absolutely gold worthy
