My father mastered a very important skill. He learned to handle the steering wheel with one hand, while he reached down and removed a shoe with the other hand. Then, while keeping his eyes on the road, he was able to reach back with the shoe and smack the two quarreling kids in the backseat. This is mastery level fatherhood. He had been a pilot for the Canadian Navy, flying sub killers on and off of aircraft carriers. So he had jet pilot trained reflexes. Don't attempt this maneuver unless you've passed flight school.

I didn't even know who Michael was until recently (I'm in Australia) but I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Another line I lost it over was the good night, good luck lol lmao
i'm an Italian teen, and i can verify this, although there is a lot more swearing involved since me and my parents are Italian! tanto amore dall'Italia
LOL......That doesn't always work.....because usually if you do that, they get REALLY mad and start throwing a fit, and refuse to sit in their car seat....they literally stiffen their little bodies into a straight line, so there's no way to actually buckle them in .....so sometimes it a choice a fight to get out the door, or a fight to sit and get buckled into the carseat.....aw....the joys of Parenthood :):)
@@freehappy6019 I know kids. I'm aware. Getting out the door is the hard part, after that it's just a matter of gently pushing the back of their knees with your fingers and then they bend long enough for you to clip them in. It takes practice, but it's possible.
Once we were at the park and my son didnt want to leave. We all went to the car except my son. My husband hid behind another car and told me to get in the car and drive to the stop sign while he hid and watch out son. When my son saw the car actually leaving, he ran SOO FAST screaming "nooooooo". 😂 then my husband came out of his hiding spot and grabbed him. We called his bluff and felt sooo good about it
andrew clavin I’m with you, mate. They push you to the limit as often as they can.... BUT the good times make up for it. It might be a nightmare getting them out the door and you might not get those nice posh date nights anymore, but watching them develop from a totally helpless baby into a little person is simply unbelievable. I love being a father. Nobody can make me laugh like my boys. They are amazing.
I had to laugh at “leaving the house “. I remember when my five kids were all six and under. I realized we were out of bread. I also realized it would be easier to make bread than to go to the store with all my kids. So I did. With that said, there’s also a lot of wonderful parts of parenting. Mine are all older now and it’s such fun.
I just have 1, so it's still pretty easy to get to the shops for food. Especially because I'm a 5 Min walk from the shops and i can just pop him in the pram and walk. But I can imagine it being 5x harder with 5x as many XD😅
Lmao, I’m 21 and I’m the second eldest out of 6 children. My eldest sister (27) has gone on to have her third child now and the youngest of my siblings is 4, second youngest is 8 and then 13 and 14. At one point, we were all living together, including my aunt and her two kids and I was stuck looking after kids every single day. I now have my own QUIET PEACEFUL home all to myself. I do not want another child near me again.
I've literally laughed my tears out. And then, the laughter is gone. Tears left. Still... having kids is the most amazing thing in the world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So true love his comedy😊. Currently being beat up by my 6 yr old who snuck in my bed and is wind milling smacking me and has his head dug in my spine whilst being dead asleep and screaming no, in a dream just like he does in real life. I love him soo much and they look like Angel's when they are asleep, till they slap you in the face and knock you out your bed 😂
But why... seriously why... are people still having children if all this is so true. I don't have children and I most probably do have no real idea what it's like to be a parent (most my friends with kids say it's worse than I can imagine, and then sugarcoat it by saying how lovely their kids can also be...). So again why are people doing that to themselves. I'm not too fond of myself as a person, but I would not torture myself like that by bringing some innocent energy sucking demon into the world.
My brother is 13 years younger than me and I am basically his second mother. It goes my mom, me then my dad when he feels like it. My brother has done every single thing in this video. He is about to turn 13 and he still does the waking up at night thing. I open my eyes and he is right in my face. I love him with all of my heart but he is the reason why I don't want to have children. They are made cute so you can be entrapped by them because raising them is a constant battle.
Hope your brother doesnt know that, that he is the reason why you wont have children. Thats a tough thing to blame someone for and then say you love them. Dont have children but dont put the blame of your choice on someone else. Thats a horrible burden to put on someone.
@lee-annebarrett366 Ugh, another reason I don't want to have children is because whatever action I do will impact their lives and mental health for the rest of their lives. So no, I definitely would not say that to him. I don't blame him for it because there is no blame there to begin with. His existence taught me what children are really like and how much of a huge responsibility they can be. It's not a negative thing, I don't understand why you had to twist it like this. It was my blessing that I got taught that lesson so early on. I just can't understand why you had to go straight to that response of yours. So condescending and judgemental.
I remember watching this in my 20s, laughing at the prospect of parents .... now I have a 3 year old & these things do happen, it's hilarious! The seatbelt bit killed me 😂
One of my favorite lines about raising kids is from actress/comedienne Brett Butler who said she never wanted to have kids because she never wanted to be the recipient of that much ingratitude. Truer words...
We DO have some idea what it's like from watching our friends and family doing it, that's why we choose to stay childfree for life because we see how difficult it is.
Older siblings know the struggle. Especially when there's a few years age difference. We're basically raising these kids while our parents are at work.
I have a damaged jaw and I’m not supposed to smile or laugh to reduce pain but this video is so worth the pain. I also feel bad for my cat because I keep exploding into laughter scaring the crap out of him
His description of parenthood is so accurate which is why it’s so funny. Having said that people without kids see things like this and think we parents are miserable but the thought of a life without my kids is absolutely horrifying.
Whenever I need a good laugh from an awful day Michael is my go to guy! Everything that he talks about is so relatable and that's what makes it so flipping funny!
My son would go missing in a store and we would always find him sleeping under a clothing rack,always. He would fall asleep climbing up on the sofa with one foot still on the floor and while walking back to the car from the store,he would just fall asleep in the middle of a step and fall to the ground. The things kids do. Ours always had a pool at our homes,they were 3,4,and 5 and we had to,my wife that is, must have had eyes in the back of her head because they are 48,49,and 50 today and still going strong. 55 years this August 7th and were still married. Lucky man.I am.
I remember watching this when I was pregnant with my first...thinking yeah the upbringing of a human sounds way scarier than the actual birth (midwife btw lol). With 3 kids under 3yrs old by age 30...this guy is narrating my life 😂
I’ve had a bad day. Thank you Michael. You make it better. I come watch you on TH-cam when things go wrong and in the past 3 months lots has gone wrong. You so make it better. I am fixing to find the Dentist. That really makes things better 😃
Oh I love this, it's definitely one of my absolute favourites, so relatable! 😂😂😍 And do I have kids? Yes, three (one with tourettes, one with adhd and one in her third year of the terrible twos). Send help.
Seriously accurate... even after this morning or maybe even more so, my 6 year old son: I’m wide awake let’s get up. This was at 3am this morning and yesterday too. This portrayal is absolutely hilarious 😂!
I visited a friend with a baby. She only cried and the mom complained that she was so heavy. Okay lets wait a while longer with getting kids. Next year I visited another friend with a baby. Cutest kid ever, sweet, happy all the time. Here take her on your lap. A year later I had a kid.
My husband and I watched several complete shows of Michael’s a few weeks ago. We laughed so hard that we both hurt ourselves (somewhere on the tight side of the torso). It’s been a few weeks now and our bodies haven’t healed themselves. Michael should come with a ‘danger to life and limb’ warning ⚠️! Love and All Good Things, Jesse.🌹
Funny, but irritating! People who have kids insist on telling everyone else how much hard work it is, and how people without kids will never understand. Well yes, we do understand, that's why we've made the conscious (and sensible) decision not to put ourselves through that misery!
Totally agree there... I am one of those who couldn’t have kids and when I see in the news or hear about abused children I feel awful that undeserving people have kids 😥
Being a parent takes maturity and responsibility, 2 things nost people lack today. But for those who take on this most important role in our civilization, kudos to you all!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's funny how they can all of a sudden do something when you don't require them to do it and they can find things when you don't ask them to find anything.😆
thanks for the truth, many famous people speak only about the "blessing" and the "greatest joy" with their newborn. But maybe they got an army of nannies... Everytime I miss own kids, I watch this and feel reliefed. He's the coolest and best comedian. ;-)
Of course I don’t know what it’s actually like to have children. If I had them it would be too late.. It’s not like you can just try and just check it out and then change your mind..I’ve seen enough of the shit that parents have to go through and so didn’t have them.End of!! 😂
You can try it out by trying to handle other people's kids. Of course, there is no guarantee how your own kids would be like. And how it would wear you down in the long term. But it's a idea...
My reason is even better than yours: my mother cast "THE MOTHER'S CURSE" on me. It goes something like this: (shaking finger while saying it) " I HOPE YOU HAVE ONE *JUST LIKE YOU!* " That'll send most people running to the vasectomy-line!
I'm a preschool teacher and deal with 24 to 36 kids with two other teachers every day. One thing parents could try is to turn it into a fun challenge or game, so it becomes something positive. When you have an important event that you need to get to in a timely manner, explain it first a day ahead of time. Do a trial run so they know what needs to happen. Be silly in the process at the pretend trial run. Make it fun. Surprise them with a reward for beating the clock by taking them to get donuts or icecream. Encourage and reward them for a job well done. If you are a single parent and work everyday, hire a PT morning nanny to feed them and drive them to school. Your behavior, they will emulate, keep it positive. If you trust them, they will see this and trust you right back. If your behavior is emotional and ridiculous, what will you be teaching them. Include the child in the process, explain it to them so they are encouraged to want to help you succede as well. Having kids and raising them will be the hardest challenge you will accomplish. Blessings, you can do it!
One day driving on a very busy road, very slow traffic, with my young Autistic son in the back, I turned around to see if he was OK, safe and behaving I almost had an accident........ He was wearing nothing but his seat belt!!!!!!!!!!! No, clothe, NOTHING but his seat belt. Try and imagen that. Imagen having to stop my car and get in the back so I could put his clothes on him before getting into trouble. Of course, other drivers were not aware of my situation so in a way I did get into trouble. Just imagen yourself in a situation like that!!! He went through a time that he would take his clothes off!! The joy of having children :)
This sort of stuff didn't happen when you knew you would get a clout round the head, any messing about in the car and my dad would stop the car make you get out and drive off.
My rule of thumb when doing anything or going anywhere with my two-year-old is...whatever time you thought it would take...double it. "Picking up one or two items from the store" suddenly becomes this entire expedition and you come home EXHAUSTED.
If you want kids, have them. If you don't, don't. I adore my kids and for my family this is all a big exaggeration but funny still. Our family is pretty chill. A life with kids isn't the worst neither is a life without. People need to stop with the debating on which life choice is better. It's annoying to read comments saying "we're smart so we didn't have kids" and annoying to read, "you don't know what you're missing not having kids! " Seriously just make the choice best for you and leave others alone
I love my kids but this was hilarious! A couple I know was talking about having a kid I immediately said "don't do it" that's just my opinion. If only I knew what I know now
I always advise people to enjoy their early twenties then consider kids if they want them. Kids can drive you up the wall, and they are work, but they are also wonderful. I feel like i enjoy being a parent more (even though yes it gets exhausting) because i was able to enjoy my young adult years freely.
@@smogfry2005 I agree. It's all about timing. You shouldn't do it at a point in your life where there are still things you want to do that you won't be able to do when you take on the responsibility. For example, finishing College, getting a good house, and having fun outings with friends or traveling. Once you become a parent it will become a lot harder to do those things, so it's best to do it as much as possible before getting kids. Then you will feel less tied down.
Exactly! People complain about their children. And when you say you don't want them, they try to convince you they are the best thing and the biggest happiness blah blah
.........I've watched this a 1/2 dozen times or so....and I can't stop laughing with this maniacal out of control kind of laugh....because, Now I'm thinking "Thank God Somebody Understands!"
When my dad used to leave the house, he'd say "the bus is leaving", if me or my older sister was not heading out the door and in the car, then we would be left at home.
I thought this was hilarious before I was a dad….now with a 2 month old who has the superpower to keep people awake for 24 hr stretches…. This is 10x as funny as before
I used to want 4 children. I have had the names I would name them for like a decade. I loved kids. Kids loved me. I babysat my cousins from a few weeks old to middle school years. I wanted to even work as an elementary school art teacher. Figured 25 would be a good time to start for the babies. Welp. After 8 years and counting of owning furbabies...I am 😩 Exhausted! I now want only one human baby who...might be a spoiled brat. 🤦🏾♀️I mean I hope not. But I’m resigned to that, possibly, most likely, probably, happening. Im now looking at 36. Just 1. I really hope our furbabies won’t be teaching the baby bad manners! On top of my husband teaching the baby bad manners. But seriously, taking care of our furbabies is like a 24/7 job. They act just like children. And good Lawd those vet bills, toys and treats! 😩😭😂
Omg….the car story reminds of a story my parents told me: when I was a year old, we were on the tail end of a eight hour car trip. I was cranky, crying and my parents were at the end of their rope. They got me a chocolate ice cream cone on the last hour and drove as fast as they could! When we arrived at my grandparents, they finally looked back at me, I had smeared that ice cream cone all over the back seats of the car! 😂🤣😂🤣
My father mastered a very important skill. He learned to handle the steering wheel with one hand, while he reached down and removed a shoe with the other hand. Then, while keeping his eyes on the road, he was able to reach back with the shoe and smack the two quarreling kids in the backseat. This is mastery level fatherhood.

Lemonie Lala OMG - how to you even survive. I'd kill all 3 😝😝😝
@@teresat2595 you get used to it.
Oh, and drugs. Lots of drugs. I'm pretty much kept sane by my doctor and pharmacy. ❤😉
Michael is a legend. Explaining parenting in a Mere few minutes. Indeed; they have no idea… 😄
Seriously accurate... even after this morning or maybe even more so, my 6 year old son: I’m wide awake let’s get up. This was at 3am this morning and yesterday too. This portrayal is absolutely hilarious 😂!
YES!, So relateable!.. They do things for themselves just at the wrong time.😲😁
People without kids do have an idea.That's why they choose not to have kids.
they have an idea yes, which is wrong
Ninjamaster77 its not always a choice
there are many adults who would like to have children but cannot
random chicks music But it is often a choice
I visited a friend with a baby. She only cried and the mom complained that she was so heavy. Okay lets wait a while longer with getting kids. Next year I visited another friend with a baby. Cutest kid ever, sweet, happy all the time. Here take her on your lap. A year later I had a kid.
My husband and I watched several complete shows of Michael’s a few weeks ago. We laughed so hard that we both hurt ourselves (somewhere on the tight side of the torso). It’s been a few weeks now and our bodies haven’t healed themselves.
Michael should come with a ‘danger to life and limb’ warning ⚠️!
Love and All Good Things,

I re-watch this, every time I fwd it to other parents. It never gets old, this sketch 🤣
The "wheel on the bus part.".... ...dejavu....
Funny, but irritating! People who have kids insist on telling everyone else how much hard work it is, and how people without kids will never understand. Well yes, we do understand, that's why we've made the conscious (and sensible) decision not to put ourselves through that misery!
No you dont understand really. You can try to imagine what it's like. But that's all.
Your parents had you though....
@@JohnFekoloid I know, and I'm sure they regret it every day! :)
😂
Right? 😂 😂 😂 and they even have the audacity to question your life choices at family gatherings!..... hypocrites!
Sadly people that would make great parents can't have children and even more sad is many that have children are *Terrible*!
Sean C you will never know for sure until you will be in the situation so don’t be so sure
@@warhammerfantasy7442 They are not talking about them but about parents in general and they are right.
Some parents are abusive and it's disgusting
Totally agree there... I am one of those who couldn’t have kids and when I see in the news or hear about abused children I feel awful that undeserving people have kids 😥
@@jackwilliamthorne8377 If your talking about parents that discipline their children then thats not abuse.
Amazing. Had me in stitches. Such an accurate description its unreal.
Being a parent takes maturity and responsibility, 2 things nost people lack today. But for those who take on this most important role in our civilization, kudos to you all!
We are taking responsibility and not having kids. Your ability to guilt trip has failed miserably and no I don't feel bad for not wanting kids.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's funny how they can all of a sudden do something when you don't require them to do it and they can find things when you don't ask them to find anything.😆
The wheels on the bus go round and round!!!😂😂😂😂again!!! Again!!! LMFAO
I’ve loved Micheal McIntyre for 9 years now
thanks for the truth, many famous people speak only about the "blessing" and the "greatest joy" with their newborn. But maybe they got an army of nannies...
Everytime I miss own kids, I watch this and feel reliefed. He's the coolest and best comedian.
;-)
Of course I don’t know what it’s actually like to have children. If I had them it would be too late.. It’s not like you can just try and just check it out and then change your mind..I’ve seen enough of the shit that parents have to go through and so didn’t have them.End of!! 😂
Same
You can try it out by trying to handle other people's kids.
Of course, there is no guarantee how your own kids would be like. And how it would wear you down in the long term. But it's a idea...
My reason is even better than yours: my mother cast "THE MOTHER'S CURSE" on me. It goes something like this: (shaking finger while saying it) " I HOPE YOU HAVE ONE *JUST LIKE YOU!* " That'll send most people running to the vasectomy-line!
“We’re gonna leave Ozzy behind he gonna stay here! I hate him I HATE HIM.” Lmao me and ALL my sisters growing up.
🤣🤣me and my little brother
I'm a preschool teacher and deal with 24 to 36 kids with two other teachers every day. One thing parents could try is to turn it into a fun challenge or game, so it becomes something positive. When you have an important event that you need to get to in a timely manner, explain it first a day ahead of time. Do a trial run so they know what needs to happen. Be silly in the process at the pretend trial run. Make it fun. Surprise them with a reward for beating the clock by taking them to get donuts or icecream. Encourage and reward them for a job well done. If you are a single parent and work everyday, hire a PT morning nanny to feed them and drive them to school. Your behavior, they will emulate, keep it positive. If you trust them, they will see this and trust you right back. If your behavior is emotional and ridiculous, what will you be teaching them. Include the child in the process, explain it to them so they are encouraged to want to help you succede as well. Having kids and raising them will be the hardest challenge you will accomplish. Blessings, you can do it!
Quite possibly the best comedy sketch ever. I’ve seen it half a dozen times, still has me in hysterics.
One day driving on a very busy road, very slow traffic, with my young Autistic son in the back, I turned around to see if he was OK, safe and behaving I almost had an accident........
He was wearing nothing but his seat belt!!!!!!!!!!! No, clothe, NOTHING but his seat belt.
Try and imagen that. Imagen having to stop my car and get in the back so I could put his clothes on him before getting into trouble. Of course, other drivers were not aware of my situation so in a way I did get into trouble. Just imagen yourself in a situation like that!!!
He went through a time that he would take his clothes off!!
The joy of having children :)
People who doesn't have children are just clever enough to not have them
Simon Jensen if your parents thought like you, you wouldn’t be here saying that
@@albak6552 well the thing is. I wasn't a planned child, neither was my oldest younger sister.
The only one was our youngest sister.
And clever enough to spell DON'T....
This sort of stuff didn't happen when you knew you would get a clout round the head, any messing about in the car and my dad would stop the car make you get out and drive off.
Thank you🤗👏👐
Lol so true! Had me in stitches! 👍
Everytime I am feeling down I can watch this and laugh.
“The wheels on the bus go rundunrhnduhrunduhnduhdnd” got me 😂😂😂😂😂
Again! Again!
My rule of thumb when doing anything or going anywhere with my two-year-old is...whatever time you thought it would take...double it. "Picking up one or two items from the store" suddenly becomes this entire expedition and you come home EXHAUSTED.
Alternate title for myself,
"more reasons to not have children"
AS IF WE *NEED* MORE REASONS?????😜

Oh my Lord. Can’t stop laughing. I watched this video before my baby born. Hahaha now I am practicing it 🤣
If you want kids, have them. If you don't, don't. I adore my kids and for my family this is all a big exaggeration but funny still. Our family is pretty chill. A life with kids isn't the worst neither is a life without. People need to stop with the debating on which life choice is better. It's annoying to read comments saying "we're smart so we didn't have kids" and annoying to read, "you don't know what you're missing not having kids! " Seriously just make the choice best for you and leave others alone
Child free and proud!!!
I love my kids but this was hilarious! A couple I know was talking about having a kid I immediately said "don't do it" that's just my opinion. If only I knew what I know now
I always advise people to enjoy their early twenties then consider kids if they want them. Kids can drive you up the wall, and they are work, but they are also wonderful. I feel like i enjoy being a parent more (even though yes it gets exhausting) because i was able to enjoy my young adult years freely.
@@smogfry2005 I agree. It's all about timing. You shouldn't do it at a point in your life where there are still things you want to do that you won't be able to do when you take on the responsibility. For example, finishing College, getting a good house, and having fun outings with friends or traveling. Once you become a parent it will become a lot harder to do those things, so it's best to do it as much as possible before getting kids. Then you will feel less tied down.
I agree
@@danielleforest1705 I agree too
People without kids do understand cuz they've been hearing about it their entire lives. And is also part of the reason they don't have kids.
Exactly! People complain about their children. And when you say you don't want them, they try to convince you they are the best thing and the biggest happiness blah blah
If that made sense, then the world would end in one generation.
@@antiagonista no the world would not end, only humanity. And it won't be that big of a loss for the world, believe me.
@@mayame1079 then you are saying that suicide would be the best and noblest solution to your own life?
@@antiagonista where did you see the word "suicide" in what I wrote? Go have your eyes checked...
.........I've watched this a 1/2 dozen times or so....and I can't stop laughing with this maniacal out of control kind of laugh....because, Now I'm thinking "Thank God Somebody Understands!"
When my dad used to leave the house, he'd say "the bus is leaving", if me or my older sister was not heading out the door and in the car, then we would be left at home.
Child free and proud :).
Wow..!! Well done man...!! Reality explained in such a funny way..!! Great job..!!😅😂🤣😭
I’m sooo happy I’m not the only person who’s life is like this
Legend!!!! I hear a practical man speaking i love it !!
They should make this video part of the education system.
Meanwhile my wife and I are a childless couple .. and LOVING IT !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't have children but I was the child who was wide awake and ready to go to school at 2 in the morning.
Same
I thought this was hilarious before I was a dad….now with a 2 month old who has the superpower to keep people awake for 24 hr stretches…. This is 10x as funny as before
You are sooo funny !!! I laugh at basically all of your shows Id lovd to watch you live!!! Well Done !! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !!!
I have only just become an adult. So I know what children are like. They’re like me.
I'm a parent of 2....mine are now adults 20 and 18 but I can so relate to this!! Absolutely HILLARIOUS!!
I have a teething 11 month old I’m watching this at 2am 😫
Beth Edwards awesome
Good luck its only the beginning haaa
“they think they the know!” 😂 he’s amazing 🤩
Our baby is 19 now. We used to have to practically kneel on him to get him to stay strapped into his car seat. 😂
Howling and crying soo hard. This is all soo relatable. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for reminding me once again... not to reproduce👏👏👏
I used to want 4 children. I have had the names I would name them for like a decade. I loved kids. Kids loved me. I babysat my cousins from a few weeks old to middle school years. I wanted to even work as an elementary school art teacher. Figured 25 would be a good time to start for the babies.
Welp. After 8 years and counting of owning furbabies...I am 😩 Exhausted!
I now want only one human baby who...might be a spoiled brat.
🤦🏾♀️I mean I hope not. But I’m resigned to that, possibly, most likely, probably, happening.
Im now looking at 36. Just 1. I really hope our furbabies won’t be teaching the baby bad manners! On top of my husband teaching the baby bad manners.
But seriously, taking care of our furbabies is like a 24/7 job. They act just like children. And good Lawd those vet bills, toys and treats! 😩😭😂
I guess the funniest part of this skit is that it is so accurate...so very accurate
One of his best jokes!
Omg….the car story reminds of a story my parents told me: when I was a year old, we were on the tail end of a eight hour car trip. I was cranky, crying and my parents were at the end of their rope. They got me a chocolate ice cream cone on the last hour and drove as fast as they could! When we arrived at my grandparents, they finally looked back at me, I had smeared that ice cream cone all over the back seats of the car! 😂🤣😂🤣
Thats when you drop the kid off at the grandparents, switch cars with them, and run. 😉😉
@@pamelaj.betz-baron2420 don’t think they haven’t consistently it over the years! 😅😅
Amazing. Love it. Never tired to see it
