Russian kid blows up at prank

Don't try this at home, guys. And especially don't try this at school.

A Russian kid pranks a classmate and gets a wildly over-the-top reaction.

Elementary school chorus sings "Eye of the Tiger"

True story: When I was in elementary school, I learned to play "Eye of the Tiger" on piano. Trust me when I say that it sounded all sorts of wrong.

I'm happy to report that these kids are quite good and that their teacher wisely chooses to accompany them on the guitar.

Kids dancing to Flo Rida's "Low"

Amusing, though I'm left wondering just what these kids are watching on TV.

Toddler makes a big splash in the art world

Aelita Andre is the newest sensation of the art world in Australia. Her paintings are commanding about $1,500 each and her first exhibition was a smash hit with the critics. After the show, it was revealed that Aelita is 2 years old. Red-faced critics are insisting the prodigy’s finger-daubing is so advanced that she must have had help. Her parents deny it.

Kid plays Star Wars Cantina music on the harp

This kid is awesome. A boy playing the harp = serious guts.

My favorite part of the video, besides the very talented kid playing Star Wars music on a ginormous harp, is the woman hovering off-camera to flip the music at the appropriate time. Don't be so camera shy!

Kid takes on like 30 hula hoops at once

This is pretty impressive. I think I could maybe get up to three. Maybe.

Kids say the darndest things: Kittens inspired by kittens

Kids are all the rage right now in viral videos. Last week, it was "David after dentist" and I predict this week's kid (and cat!) related viral video will be this one.

It's a creative (the description says weird) young girl making up her own story of kittens. Kittens and kids, what a combo!

Thanks to viral vid goddess Erica for passing this along.

Kid recovers from dentist, the remix

Earlier today, Watch This Now blogger Kathy Bushouse brought you the kid recovers from the dentist video.

Of course, there's already a remix of the poor kid -- complete with downloadable MP3.

Kid recovers from a trip to the dentist

Or as I like to call it, Why I'm glad my parents didn't have a video camera when I was a kid. I got a bit freaked out by, well, anything involving doctors or dentists.

9-month old baby plays with toys, creates chaos

Check out this time lapse video of a 9-month old boy rolling around in his living room. The mother in you wants to scream "Where are his parents?!?!?", but fret not, they were edited out of the video.

VIDEO: Toddler says bye-bye to George Bush

Kids say the darnedest things. Watch as this toddler thanks George W. Bush for teaching her manners, how to play dress-up and the meaning of preemptive strike.

Kid rides roller coaster for first time

This kid made some funny faces while riding a roller coaster for the first time. I make the same faces when I drive I-95.

Baby preacher pumps up the crowd

Is he speaking in tongues or does he just not know how to speak?

I particularly like what he does at the 1:05 mark.

Gary Busey vs. 11-year-old reporter

Earlier this week, fellow Watch This Now blogger Kathy Bushouse brought you "Gary Busey attacks Ryan Seacrest on the Red Carpet." Today, I bring you Gary Busey disses 11-year-old reporter at Oscar after-party.

Someone get this guy a reality TV show on Bravo pronto.

A 3-year-old explains "Star Wars"

This clip is getting some serious love on YouTube. It was posted last Friday, and as of Monday night had more than 1.8 million hits.

I can see why it's so popular. Not only is she adorable, but she makes a lot more sense than all of The Phantom Menace.

Babies love Rick Astley

I can completely relate to this video, only because for a time my infant son would only stop crying when we played one of two songs -- Olivia Newton-John's "Xanadu" and Young MC's "Bust a Move."

This video makes me happy to know I'm not alone in playing cheesy songs to appease a bawling baby. Does this mean I now have to download Rick Astley onto my iPod?

Diaper kid sings "Hey Jude"

In this video, a diaper-wearing kid sings "Hey Jude." It reminds me of when my friends and I go out to karaoke. I think this kid sounds better than us most of the time.

Keep your hands to yourself.

It's pretty clear I underestimate the entertainment value of kids and animals.

This clip of a baby biting a kid (and by the way, let this serve as a lesson -- you totally do not taunt a baby like that and expect to escape unharmed) has received more than 2 million hits on YouTube and inspired a slew of parodies.

Here's the original:

And here's the future Charlie:

Give him the evil eye

For some reason, when I would give my parents the "evil eye" they wouldn't encourage me to do it again. Watch as this baby gives the "evil eye" and then giggles.

Why you need a cooties shot

These brave kids came forward to talk about an illness devastating playgrounds across America:

Cooties.

The only known vaccine available is "circle, circle, dot, dot, now you've got your cooties shot."

Ready, Set, Bumbo

I have two questions for the makers of the “Ready, Set, Bumbo” series.

1) Where did you find the time? I’m a new parent, and some days I feel like it’s a miracle that I’m able to get out of bed and function as a normal adult. I don’t know what impressed me more: The stop-motion camera work or the fact that your house is spotless.

2) Can you please tell me how you got a baby to sit long enough in the Bumbo (which, for the uninitiated, is just a plastic seat) to accomplish all this? We consider ourselves lucky if our 5-month-old can be still through dinner.

For the uninitiated, a Bumbo is a molded seat that helps infants sit upright. Our son likes to try and escape from his. We have not yet tried to videotape this and post it on YouTube. We still have not figured out how to work our video camera.

You don’t have to be a parent to find these clips amusing. Just make sure to watch the series in order. Like Star Wars (Nos. four through six, not the prequels) and Harry Potter, the clips each stand on their own, but it all makes more sense if viewed in sequence.

Bumbo I:

Bumbo II:


Bumbo III:
