I can do the same thing, but I've worked in Kindergarten, so I just imitate all the kids, one by one, on all the moments they were sulking. Not to mention, I very often behave like an angry toddler when I look at my agenda and see I have no free hours. That reminds me, before I was even working in daycare, when I was 13, I once imitated a kid in daycare. It was during a Drama-lesson. I ran around on my knees and shouted and went; 'NoOoOooooOoOoOoOoo mwééééééééh!' and it was so annoying that one girl lost her temper and slapped me in the face. Really hard as well. I remember being quiet for a bit, staring her in the face and thinking; 'Oh no, now you've done it.' The teacher wanted to intervene, she was shocked and angry at the girl, but first I got my chance to make her rest of the act as miserable as possible. So I screamed; 'Mommyyyyyyyyyyy you can't hit, you can't hit me!" and fell on the floor crying and threw books at her and just yanked at the chairs and screamed about how mean she was. After the performance, I was being complimented for continuing and the girl was being scolded for losing her temper. I had a mark on my face, she had a mark on her grades. Haha.
Having a drink of your beverage is literally the only thing you're allowed to do while watching your kid perform, So come prepared and hopefully the performance will be over before your drink is. Hopefully
This gave me crazy flashbacks to my little brother trying to put on shows and the one time he ran up to me because he knew I was learning guitar and he just said "play guitar for my show". No explanation. So I had to ask him for what he wanted from me and he just starts crying. "YoU dOn'T uNdErStAaAaAaNd!" and then crying more while I just stared.
Ah yes, a perfect encapsulation of the absolute torture it is to have to sit through a child's (who isn't yours) living room "play" "concert" or "show" when all you want to do is drink booze 😂
Could be worse. You could be at a camping retreat for an athletic group and try to have your burgers and hot dog and two beers while watching a non rehearsed retrospective based off your coach's life story as told by a small group of volunteers clearly not versed in theatre and directed by that one sycophant of the group you didn't know existed and was much more invested in the story than you thought seemed possible, resulting in .... well, horseshit. But for other reasons.
I was getting annoyed in the beginning, but then started getting memories of a few of my nieces and nephews. By that point, I was laughing so hard I legit got my tummy workout for the day.
@@hankhill1203 One day, I'm going to forget to be a human being and record what I have to hear 5 times a week, at least 2 plus dozen times a day in certain places at work. And then, you'll cry(sorry).
The ‘ I hate this’ and ‘ you’re doing it wrong’ at the beginning gave me such vivid flashbacks to when my little sister went through exactly this phase
This has got to be one of the best characters on this entire channel, she perfectly captured the essence of an over-dramatic 6 year-old girl at family gatherings. Not that I've been there or anything *cough cough* Also, Laughing Guy is incredible and I love them.
Omg. As a former annoying kid who used to put on unsolicited """reluctant performances""" all the time, I felt REALLY ATTACKED when she started singing Castle on a Cloud 😩😩😩
This reminded me of Gilda Radner doing The Judy Miller Show yet completely unique and every bit as funny. As the mother of two daughters, I must confirm how absolutely accurate this was, especially the lying on the floor, crying, with the skirt hiked up around the waist. Perfection.
There's a home video of my brother's and I playing with lightsabers, and the video come to an abrupt end when my older brother hits my ear, and I start crying. My older brother says "I didn't even hit him that hard," the video cuts to him thanking us for watching the video and you can hear me in the background saying "I'm not playing anymore!" Sad when it happened, so funny thinking about it now.
I had to live through this with my daughter. It shows a severe lack of growth that I chose to sit through this for 8 full minutes voluntarily. Sigh. *clap, clap, clap*. Very good, honey.
I thought this was going to be annoying, but I spent the entire last minute crying laughing. Love that the audience, not just the "dad", got into it and all became supportive family members. Who doesn't know a kid like this, or was this kid at some point
youtube glitched and an “E-Girl Makeup” video started playing audio over this so for a solid minute i thought the bit was a childish disappointed mother 😂😂😂
as a theatre kid, she was my little sister and I was the tree or something in the background singing whatever I wanted to sing looking utterly bored and we legit have a video of my sister screaming at me because I was 'ruining it' she was 14.
Great job! Here are some corrections if it helps: 1:42 "I have to come out again" 2:33 "Nothing was right" 2:50 "back at Easter" 3:06 "I need you to stand up right now" (erase "can you do it?") 4:03 "We have to skip the entrance" 4:49 "I like to go there in my sleep, crying and stuff is not allowed, not in my castle on a cloud" 6:21 "I like to go there in my sleep, crying and stuff is not allowed, not in my castle on a cloud. there is a lady all in white, she likes to sing a lullaby, she's soft and warm and she's soft and warm, she says, Cosette i'm soft and i'm warm." 7:37 "Help." 7:39 "Help." 8:09 it is indeed a recorder... though "flute noises" is funny too! :)
I’ve actually never seen better subtitles so I really have to commend the user for doing them and of course the incredible performer for making them more clear :) makes me excited to share it with deaf and hoh friends ps I haven’t laughed this hard at something for a long time, thank you
SERIOUSLY! i'ts going on 2am, my partner is in bed next to me and i don't want to turn the volume too high, but she speaks so quietly that i need to but then WHA-HEE-HAA-HAA laughing guy with the megaphone won't shut up so i can't enjoy this right now :( argh! modern day horror story
When she pulled out the fucking recorder I died. I want, need, and desperately hope Desi gets on SNL because the level of dedication she had to the character and voice and mannerisms is insane. She’s awesome.
bless whoever wrote these captions. they're fantastic. and the audience members who had to get up and move around. and just, all of this. my gods, this is all fantastic
I’ve seen this one in my recommendeds for a while and never watched it, but I really wish I had sooner. Such a genius idea to do a skit that necessitates the audience having a close preexisting relationship with the character.
Dear lord nothing could have made this better than the song choice of “Castle on a Cloud” from Les Mis. I *distinctly* remember singing this exact song to another child in the kids club section of the gym when I was 8 years old, and then she said she was going to cry.

The walking-while-angrily-singing combo with the hiding-tantrum dismount is

Especially when she twirled herself into the curtain
One of the funniest off the cuff moments was when the 'dad' just drinks the beer after messing up the bit. True parenting at its finest
Drink it when they're not looking, that way they can't blame you for their own coping mechanisms when they grow up!
Having a drink of your beverage is literally the only thing you're allowed to do while watching your kid perform, So come prepared and hopefully the performance will be over before your drink is. Hopefully
You can’t write comedy like this; you live through it and survive a better person for it.
No, no, no. That's not an adult woman. I'm convinced that is an actual 6 year old. She just looks a little mature for her age.

So you're both a Theater Kid and a Theater Parent...that's got to be insane..

I work with pre-k kids and this is too accurate. The incomprehensible train of thought, the "and in, it's, and in, it's a surgery" is exactly it
That's the part that got me to! All the "ums" and "uhs" and repeatedly trying to explain and then bluntly reaching the point out of nowhere.
There are home videos of me wearing this exact style of outfit and hair at age 6 during Christmas

Exactly the same, only using leggings as a hat.
