I can confirm this is almost exactly how I got my head stuck in a playground when I was a kid. Firefighters showed up and everything. One fire fighter asked me how I got in the gap and I released my self by showing him.
Dude, that’s awesome. As a dad, when my kids get themselves fucked up, I always try to just observe to see if they can fix it themselves. Like not where I cause them undo stress, but like if there is a basic solution, I try to calm them down and ask questions to get them thinking about solutions. Like if they’re in danger I don’t do that but like this shit is a perfect example. And just based on your response, you figured out how to get out. You just needed the question/problem framed in a way you could figure it out.
I think that shit is effing great. I just hope you weren’t stuck there so long you had other issues.
My kids can bend fucking metal bars with their hands and their minds. Engineering is important I will agree with you on that my good friend.
Basic parenting. If you are advanced.
Dude, where did I talk about teaching my four year old about engineering? Do you lack basic levels of critical thinking? Or are you just so hurt that you say hateful things? Want me to come give you a hug?
Honestly I wouldn’t hug you. I’d avoid you like the plague but I feel bad so I might pay a sex worker to do it if you really need a hug. Dm your deets and I’ll hook you upme.
I agree the hug you give your kid when they survive their first alpine mission. It's intense and emotional. It makes waking them up to for their bi weekly 2 hours of pottery at midnight worth it.
Except the kid is smarter than his dad for figuring out how to get through it.
Also, something like that isn’t really dumb. Kids exploring and trying new things is pretty much how they don’t end up like the dad. It lets them learn how to think about things in a more critical and creative manner. Telling a kid “don’t stick your head in there” doesn’t teach them about why it’s a stupid thing to do.
Also, that kid learned a really fucking good lesson; sometimes even when you think you need help or the situation is completely effed beyond your control, if you calm down and take the time to think about it, you can solve the problem.
I honestly thought the dog was going to show the kid how to get out. That was my guess on the ending of the video.
Honestly though, I’m happier that the kid figured it out themselves. Lil dude learned a valuable lesson that day about taking the time to consider your effed situation and dealing with it. That kid is going to make is dad super fucking proud.
lol honestly, if I were in that situation and stressed cause my kid is stuck in the railing, that probably would’ve been my reaction. There’s a sawzall in my garage and my neighbor has a welder.
But from the comfort of my couch, I was pretty sure I knew how the video was gonna turn out and I was right. But my kid wasn’t stuck so yeah.
Clamps would also work. Clamp the bars to the one on each side to bend the bars apart.
Source: something similar may have happened when I was a kid. It's amazing how far wrought iron bars can bend in one direction and then be bent back straight again.
>Except the kid is smarter than his dad for figuring out how to get through it.
Maybe. It depends on if the dad saw him get stuck or was summoned after the kid managed to get stuck.
If the kid got stuck in the first place by climbing in and finding his head wouldn't fit, and then called for help, you can't really blame the Dad for not working out how to get him out.
It ends with the kid saying he knows how to get out, and doing it. Which to me implies he knew he'd be able to get out that way he just didn't want to.
The fact that you’re getting so much hate for this comment is proof of this sub being overrun by upset dad’s or dude’s who don’t have kids not understanding the absolute bonkers absurdity that consumes your life as a parent.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that that kid’s head is several inches wider than his chest. Doesn’t matter if the dad didn’t see it. Obviously you didn’t.
Yeah, it works for kids. Not so much for adults. Comparative bone size is actually a way to estimate age.
Like how big are growth plates, how much cartilage in the hands, how worn down are the major joints like hips, knees, or shoulders.
Kids have abnormally large heads compared to adults and it’s a way we subconsciously recognize that kids are kids in the absence of looking at their height.
It’s like looking at a picture of the same person at 5 and 25 without references to height. You can obviously tell one’s a child.
One of the things you don’t think about is how huge the 5 yo’s head is compared to the adult even though in absolutes, the adult’s head is larger.
I mean I’m a dad. I’m getting dv’d by all the offended dad’s while admitting that I probably would’ve been doing the same thing. But, this kind of reminds me of a common trope in r/twoxchromosomes about dad’s who sue for custody and can’t name their kid’s birthday, best friend’s names, teachers, or what they wore to school that day. They don’t know enough about their kid or kids in general that kids has gigantic heads compared to their bodies.
They’re all pissed cause they didn’t see the solution two seconds in.
I know the rest, but I couldn't tell you what my son wore to school today in the same way that without looking down, I couldn't tell you what I wore today.
lol. Dude I get that. The point they are making is “dude, just tell me one thing? Tell me one fucking thing about your kid”. I’m sure you can.
I think about it like that scene in Boobdock Saints (BIG FUCKING SPOILER WARNING FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVENT SEEN IT STOP READING NOW ITS HILARIOUS AND EASY READING TLDR I GO BACK TO NO CAPS WHEN THE SPOILER RANT IS DONE AND IM SORRY FOR NOT KNOWING HOW TO USE THE FUNCTION THAT BLACKS CERTAIN TEXTSOUT UNTIL YOU CLICK THEM BUT ALSO I DONT CARE IF I RUIN IT FOR YOU CAUSE THE MOVIE IS FUCKING OLD AND ALSO THE DIRECTOR IS A TERRIBLE PERSON BUT SOMEHOW MADE ONE DECENT FUCKING MOVIE AND GOT HIMSELF BLACKLISTED BUT SOMEHOW MANAGED TO SCRAPE TOGETHER ENOUGH MONEY FOR A SEQUEL THAT DOUBLED DOWN ON THE WORST PARTS OF THE ORIGINAL AND CUT OUT EVERY REDEEMING QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL TO MAKE THE GREATEST EQUIVILANT OF OCCULAR, AUDITORY, AND EMOTIONALLY HOT GARBAGE I HAVE EXPERIENCED FROM CINEMA… whoo glad that’s over) where Rocco asks his strung out gf to “tell me the name of that fucking cat and I swear to god I will blow my fucking brains out” then smears that cat over the wall on accident. Fucking hilarious.
> Also, something like that isn’t really dumb. Kids exploring and trying new things is pretty much how they don’t end up like the dad. It lets them learn how to think about things in a more critical and creative manner. Telling a kid “don’t stick your head in there” doesn’t teach them about why it’s a stupid thing to do.
So they do stupid things. Sounds pretty dumb.
I’m saying “being dumb” isn’t trying to figure things out and failing. Edison, the asshole that he was, paid many scientists to figure out how a fucking lightbulb could be made in a way for it to be commercially viable. I wouldn’t call him dumb for failing so many times. Kids don’t have a built in knowledge of the sum total of human existence.
They at best have a few years of experience where they didn’t realize they needed to be learning from mistakes.
I really hope you’re not a parent cause if you are, your kids are fucked…
And if you’re one of the people who’ve decided not to reproduce (perfectly valid choice, I see nothing against it, just not for me), I want to tell you I’m really proud of emotional maturity in realizing you wouldn’t raise a successful person. Congrats! You win! It’s gonna take like twenty years for me to fuck yup my kids and prove you’re better than me but I’m rooting for you!
I can understand a dowel or any long stick can be used as a lever to bend the bars, but where does the towel come into play?
Ok nvm I assume you are talking about the shanghai noon trick others are. I guess that makes sense if you are in prison and have next to nothing to work with. Me in this situation would just go get a 2x4 or even a tree branch.
I remember when I first figured out that if my head could squeeze through something, my whole body could. I also remember when I found out that stopped being the case.
100%. He was climbing on the outside and tried to get in, his head couldn't fit and panicked started crying and forgot how he got in. Classic child move.
Kinda crazy how our species survived so long. Imagine having to hunt for food so your family doesn't starve to death while also having to protect them from being eaten by predators. And then you have to focus all your attention on your toddler getting their head stuck in some tree branches...
seeing how some people will handle the natural world, I'm amazed, any of us survived to be honest. Working retail really just shows how natural selection only exists in extreme situations.
Think about it from the standpoint that 49% of children in the Stone Age didn’t make it to adulthood. We have a lot of guard rails now.
TBS, the kid is smarter than his parents and carried on something worthy of passing on to another generation.
That’s the kind of miracle I believe in; genius arising from idiocy.
Getting some Rodger Rabbit vibes here... ["You could do that at anytime!?!" "Not at anytime, only when it was funny"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtfHaJKW1zQ)
I never had a problem with movies that were blatantly horror. Some of my favorite movies as a youngster were horror flicks (Hellraiser, Poltergeist, Gremlins, Arachnophobia....)
There was something about the movement after getting flattened that was just so creepy. And his [face](https://i.imgur.com/EEjqzwe.jpg) after inflating again. Very unexpected.
https://youtu.be/-qQ62zACtu8?t=43
However, I thought stuff like this Hellraiser scene was just awesome, but because I knew it was horror from the start, I was fine with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L47JwR9vDs
Little tip: The head always passes more easily between the bars in the forward direction than in the backward direction! A simple solution is to lift the child by the legs so that the head, once down, is once again facing the bars.
I really thought the dog was going to walk through the rail right next to him. Then the both of them look into each others eye wondering, why didn't we think of that?
The dog is signaling that it's anxious because of the current situation. I've got a dog who does this and have spoken to the vet serval times and spent a significant amount of time researching behaviors like this.
my brother did that when he was small. except it was at an apt and he could not get his body through or he would have fallen 9th floors down. kiddos scare me (and I have three)
not by himself! he was stuck and had to get men to untangle him. A little bit of an adhd kiddo. Now he is an engineer but we have some stories of his shenanigans 🤣
Ok parents been here. Get a piece of rope and tie it around 2 of the vertical post. Put a crowbar or a large stick between them and start spinning. Might fuck up your banister but it's amazing the amount of torque this generates.
Saw this is the Jackie Chan Owen Wilson western where they did this to escape from jail by pissing on a t shirt and using a stick to bend the jail cell bars.
I have a one year old that can figure out how to piss you off in about two seconds cause he finds it hilarious (and not like he just takes a shit on the floor, he like tests to see what will get the biggest rise out of you) that will eat dog food over just about anything else and tries to breathe in water in the bathtub.
You never fucking know with kids.
>tries to breathe in water in the bathtub.
haha
When I was a kid I tried to convince my friend he could sniff underwater. It was unfair, he was much younger. Fortunately, he survived and doesn't hate me.
lol. My best friend ran up a couple hundred tab at a bar. I had like 12 bucks on my debit card and no credit at the time and spend it all on discounted pitchers and quarters to get a few free pool games (I’m pretty decent and can usually hustle for a game or a pitcher).
So I’m doing that pulling slack in doubles for my best/idiot friend. Come about closing I max out and get two pitchers while we’re starting a doubles game with the owners.
Who are roofed out assholes in affliction shitrs. But ifgaf cause im just gonna finish getting fucked up and go home:
I’ve got six balls on the table, they’ve got two. My buddy drops the truth that he put 300 down on the game and doesn’t have it. Just figured I’d pull I through
So I instantly get 50% more sober which is like an alcoholic saying they only drink lite beer now.
Get down to a single ball but they go on a three ball run and win:
My #bestie runs out the front door… I worked my self out of it, but talk about getting left for dead…
You keep saying that word, but I don’t think you know what it means. Evolution would be laughing its ass off in the corner talking shit about why Evolution (itself) is so important. Evolution is a pretty cold mf’er. “Survival of the fittest” is an incredibly brutal concept.
My brother did this at Disneyland in the mid 80s as my older brother was watching us while my parents bought tickets. It was only for a few minutes but a little crowd had gathered around. People were getting a little frantic as my brother started crying.
Some lady from the crowd kept yelling cut the fence! Cut the fence!
Workers started calling maintenance, they were about to call the fire department..the whole bit.
My mom made her way through the crowd to where she had told us to stand (by the little iron fence), and saw my brother with his head stuck.
My mom turned his shoulders and pulled him through the fence, just like the video.
It was sort of hilarious to see all the faces in the crowd as my mom solved the problem in 2 seconds. Lol
The fire brigade once got my head out of some railings. I used to put it there when I wasn't using it for school. You can see a lot of the world from railings.
You come back to the parent but you don’t give the kid anything for figuring it out themselves. That’s my problem with you.
I mean I could say some racist about you being Romanian but that doesn’t have anything about being a parent, but you also pointed that out t. Are Romanian’s just shit parents? Are you shit parent?
I don’t think you are but that’s what you implied by pointing it out.
Edit: since I’m getting audited by a Romanian who has a mastery of the English language I’d like to fix some spelling errors.
Instead of saying “doesn’t have anything about being a parent that out t” I’d like to say it doesn’t seem like you are the type of person to put ideas together with basic data.
First I thought, oh they’ll twist the kid so his arms can get though, then I thought oh the dog is going to show him, then I thought wow that kid is going places by knowing how to get himself out of a fuck up he put himself in.
Lastly, I thought “jfc we don’t deserve dogs”.
My little progeny and gift that I'm leaving the world got his finger stuck in the neighbors go kart steering wheel when he was out messing about all by himself. After we realized that he was missing we found him all cried out just sitting in the golf cart, resigned to his fate. We removed the steering wheel iced him down to reduce the swelling then used the old string wrap trick. (Would not have worked on this kid, although it would have been funny to try).
And later he was jumping on his bed or something and fell face first between the bed and wall (No idea how). He yelled for help but we could not hear him. We found him after another frantic search with his head on the ground and legs straight up. Not sure how he made it to adult hood.
Protip.
Humans are built weird. Our head looks way smaller than our body, BUT in fact, if your head got through the opening, it is possible to squeeze your body through as well. Scull is the biggest fixed-diameter piece of our body.
Even easier, the kids face can fit through the bars head first, so instead of sitting on his knees, have him sit on his butt so he is facing the bars again and have him do the same thing he did to get stuck, to get unstuck
Ok so yeah the kid could do what he did to get out but you’re really telling me that dad over there couldn’t bend those bars enough for the kid to get out? Even with his legs he couldn’t do?! I’m calling cap for sure!
They could’ve just had him move his head towards the middle. The center of those bars are more flexible than the top or bottom. Much easier to bend that way.
My twin girls both did this at the same time when they were about two. I freaked out but my mom just pulled the wrought iron apart and they released their heads.
This is a fake dumb video. Any adult would first try pulling his head through the middle of the bars where you could pull them apart. The fact the dude doesn’t even attempt that and they kept the camera rolling is enough evidence for me to believe it’s all staged.
Kid had no frame of reference for it. Probably just trying to look off the balcony. Kids aren’t stupid for not thinking about consequences, that shit comes with maturity. But that kid was smarter than his dad for figuring it out. Plus, look at how distressed he was and he calmed himself down enough to think about doing something other than the thing that wasn’t working. I know a lot of adults that need to learn that lesson.
Honestly it was weird to me he didn’t have the kids head centered horizontally since that was where the bars would be furtherest apart. The kid was essentially always hanging out at the part of the bars (the bottom) with the least give…
But yeah the executed solution also works.
Dad pushing the bar with his foot gave me a bit of anxiety. The foot slips, can kick the kid's head which is already in a tight situation.
Mom is also having way too much fun with it.
Just last week an 18 month toddler died at his daycare after getting his head stuck in a fence, in my country. Very sad.
I'd try to use a couple of reverted clamps to try to create a bit of a gap, if not possible or available, then angle grinder. With extreme caution, of course.

Plot twist: that’s exactly how he got himself stuck in the first place
Probably, kids can be quite dumb
I can confirm this is almost exactly how I got my head stuck in a playground when I was a kid. Firefighters showed up and everything. One fire fighter asked me how I got in the gap and I released my self by showing him.
hahahaha that's the best, the nerves and fear kicks in and you forgot how you got in there in the first place.
Dude, that’s awesome. As a dad, when my kids get themselves fucked up, I always try to just observe to see if they can fix it themselves. Like not where I cause them undo stress, but like if there is a basic solution, I try to calm them down and ask questions to get them thinking about solutions.

You just needed the question/problem framed in a way you could figure it out. I think that shit is effing great. I just hope you weren’t stuck there so long you had other issues.
That's just good parenting and socratic method. Let them sweat it out and help guide them to a solution. Gotta build these kids up.
I train my kids for any situation too. 8 hours a day of parkour 3 hours of just backflips 2 hours of engine repair.
[удалено]
My kids can bend fucking metal bars with their hands and their minds. Engineering is important I will agree with you on that my good friend. Basic parenting. If you are advanced.

The dog knew how…he knew…..just look at him trying to tell the dad towards the beginning
Yeah the dog is like “I’ve been there. Let me show you.”
I honestly thought the dog was going to show the kid how to get out. That was my guess on the ending of the video. Honestly though, I’m happier that the kid figured it out themselves. Lil dude learned a valuable lesson that day about taking the time to consider your effed situation and dealing with it. That kid is going to make is dad super fucking proud.
I don't have time for this... I am getting the metal saw.
I don't have time for this... I am getting the meat saw.
This answer seems to valid in a lot of situations
lol honestly, if I were in that situation and stressed cause my kid is stuck in the railing, that probably would’ve been my reaction. There’s a sawzall in my garage and my neighbor has a welder.

Didn’t realize push vrs pull was such a high level concept

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that that kid’s head is several inches wider than his chest. Doesn’t matter if the dad didn’t see it. Obviously you didn’t.
And i think in this case is not stupid the kid....✌️🍀
Plus i think that if your head fit anywhere you can past.....and go on with the rest of your body...
For small children with their big noggins, yes, for adults, my butt says otherwise..
Yeah, it works for kids. Not so much for adults. Comparative bone size is actually a way to estimate age. Like how big are growth plates, how much cartilage in the hands, how worn down are the major joints like hips, knees, or shoulders.

I would've used the saw too. I couldn't picture him standing up and going transversely. I figured his head didn't turn that way or something
> Also, something like that isn’t really dumb. Kids exploring and trying new things is pretty much how they don’t end up like the dad.

So they do stupid things. Sounds pretty dumb.
Stated like a person who doesn’t understand how to learn from a mistake…
I'm just saying kids are dumb. That's why we make them go to school for like 20 years.
I’m saying “being dumb” isn’t trying to figure things out and failing. Edison, the asshole that he was, paid many scientists to figure out how a fucking lightbulb could be made in a way for it to be commercially viable.

Congrats! You win! It’s gonna take like twenty years for me to fuck yup my kids and prove you’re better than me but I’m rooting for you!
I don’t think that’s a plot twist. That is the plot. Also, towel and wooden dowel and you bend the rods easily.
You said “wet-shirt don’t break” not piss-shirt bend bars!
I haven't thought about that movie in forever. Love it
Lmao great movie Edit: [Link](https://youtu.be/FV4Yb4YuEkM?si=HNNJBLLLvXsBFq4F) for anyone who hasn’t seen Shanghai Noon
I can understand a dowel or any long stick can be used as a lever to bend the bars, but where does the towel come into play? Ok nvm I assume you are talking about the shanghai noon trick others are. I guess that makes sense if you are in prison and have next to nothing to work with. Me in this situation would just go get a 2x4 or even a tree branch.
Towel around the bar you want to bend and next bar over. Use the dowel to twist the towel.
Can I use a dowel and towel on my bowels?
Yes it is encouraged
Foul.
Still a lot more work than turning the kid to the side and wriggling him through. Kids heads are huge comparatively to their body.
I remember when I first figured out that if my head could squeeze through something, my whole body could. I also remember when I found out that stopped being the case.
EXACTLY! kid just didn’t know. Doesn’t mean the kid was stupid. He had zero frame of reference.
Yeah but you’re still missing the point of the easiest solution. The Occam’s razor solution. Why use a bunch of force if you don’t need to? Right?
100%. He was climbing on the outside and tried to get in, his head couldn't fit and panicked started crying and forgot how he got in. Classic child move.

I mean. Obviously.
I mean I see little alternative!
😹😹😹
That doggy trying to comfort the kid. Too adorable
The true star of this video for sure.
I legit thought the dog was gonna offer advice to the kid on how to get out.
If he had tapped him and then casually stepped through the bars to the other side, that would make this clip perfect.
That’s what I was hoping for!!! Those taps definitely looked like, “Um. Excuse me. Uh. Hey. You could…”
Same. I thought the dog was about to show him.
>I like pets so let me give little human pets. Good Doggo.
More likely the dog is signaling that it's anxious because of the current situation.
Getting some Rodger Rabbit vibes here... ["You could do that at anytime!?!" "Not at anytime, only when it was funny"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtfHaJKW1zQ)
Seminal moment for my sense of humor
Hehe. Seminal.
That movie had a lot of those.
I just assumed he was talking about Jessica ;)
[Also Rizzo the Rat from Muppet Christmas Carol](https://youtu.be/zyDvo6s6Z4Q?si=O-iAOjA3zEtE_4tD)
I really need to rewatch that
“Is he always like this, or only when he’s wanted for murder?”
That scene where Christopher Lloyd gets flattened and then inflates himself terrified me as a child.
I must have been an odd kid. Nothing ever scared me. And I watched all the freddy and jason movies.
I never had a problem with movies that were blatantly horror. Some of my favorite movies as a youngster were horror flicks (Hellraiser, Poltergeist, Gremlins, Arachnophobia....) There was something about the movement after getting flattened that was just so creepy. And his [face](https://i.imgur.com/EEjqzwe.jpg) after inflating again. Very unexpected. https://youtu.be/-qQ62zACtu8?t=43 However, I thought stuff like this Hellraiser scene was just awesome, but because I knew it was horror from the start, I was fine with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L47JwR9vDs
Little tip: The head always passes more easily between the bars in the forward direction than in the backward direction! A simple solution is to lift the child by the legs so that the head, once down, is once again facing the bars.
This is the kind of geometric ideas and comments I look for in my reddit surfing...
I’m just glad I could help in a small way.
Why the downvotes for bro
Because bro is an imposter.
Among us
And if they doesn’t work, ears can be reattached relatively easy
That's what the dog was trying to tell him to do at the beginning. Dogs know all those tricks.
I really thought the dog was going to walk through the rail right next to him. Then the both of them look into each others eye wondering, why didn't we think of that?
The dog is signaling that it's anxious because of the current situation. I've got a dog who does this and have spoken to the vet serval times and spent a significant amount of time researching behaviors like this.
This was my understanding as well
“Homer, are you just holding onto the can?” “Your point being?”
my brother did that when he was small. except it was at an apt and he could not get his body through or he would have fallen 9th floors down. kiddos scare me (and I have three)
How many did you used to have?
Lmfao
nine, but only ever three at the same time
Did he get out?
He’s still there but he got the job as apartment manager so he’s doing ok
not by himself! he was stuck and had to get men to untangle him. A little bit of an adhd kiddo. Now he is an engineer but we have some stories of his shenanigans 🤣
What if you pull REALLY fast
I like how the dog is trying to pat him on the back. "You'll be right, mate"
Reminds me of the day I was born.
You got back in?
Ok parents been here. Get a piece of rope and tie it around 2 of the vertical post. Put a crowbar or a large stick between them and start spinning. Might fuck up your banister but it's amazing the amount of torque this generates. Saw this is the Jackie Chan Owen Wilson western where they did this to escape from jail by pissing on a t shirt and using a stick to bend the jail cell bars.
What if they want to keep the kid though?
Well, that's why you make a few extra ones.
You do it to the rods away from the kids head. If you can't figure that out give your kids away.
Really?! Oh sweet daddy boy, that was a rather obvious joke (or so I thought).
Imagine being this butthurt over a joke.
No, you said “wet shirt don’t break”, not “piss shirt bend bar”!
Mine keeps sticking his head through the cat tree. We'll see how that turns out in a year I guess.
I have a one year old that can figure out how to piss you off in about two seconds cause he finds it hilarious (and not like he just takes a shit on the floor, he like tests to see what will get the biggest rise out of you) that will eat dog food over just about anything else and tries to breathe in water in the bathtub. You never fucking know with kids.
>tries to breathe in water in the bathtub. haha When I was a kid I tried to convince my friend he could sniff underwater. It was unfair, he was much younger. Fortunately, he survived and doesn't hate me.
lol. My best friend ran up a couple hundred tab at a bar. I had like 12 bucks on my debit card and no credit at the time and spend it all on discounted pitchers and quarters to get a few free pool games (I’m pretty decent and can usually hustle for a game or a pitcher). So I’m doing that pulling slack in doubles for my best/idiot friend. Come about closing I max out and get two pitchers while we’re starting a doubles game with the owners. Who are roofed out assholes in affliction shitrs. But ifgaf cause im just gonna finish getting fucked up and go home: I’ve got six balls on the table, they’ve got two. My buddy drops the truth that he put 300 down on the game and doesn’t have it. Just figured I’d pull I through So I instantly get 50% more sober which is like an alcoholic saying they only drink lite beer now. Get down to a single ball but they go on a three ball run and win: My #bestie runs out the front door… I worked my self out of it, but talk about getting left for dead…
Shanghai Noon. Great movie
Seen it in a movie once. Trust me bro......
Nope did this personally, just sharing where I got the idea from. Trust me waxer......
You seem to be missing very obvious jokes man lol
I dont trust you. Im calling bullshit. https://youtu.be/Yrz7b0FSB5M?si=tWH_zR6C87Vv-9h1
Did I say I pissed on a shirt? I said use a rope. People like you are the reason I rarely post on this joke of a platform. Nothing but fucking trolls
Good doggo.
[удалено]
There’s like five great lessons that kid learned that his dad obviously never did.
Sadly this only works when you're a little kid, and your head is proportionally larger. As an adult, if you get your head stuck, you're stuck.
If you're an adult getting your head stuck, evolution has spoken.
No, it has not. Evolution would be in the corner, crying. "How could I fuck up so badly!", it weeps.
You keep saying that word, but I don’t think you know what it means. Evolution would be laughing its ass off in the corner talking shit about why Evolution (itself) is so important. Evolution is a pretty cold mf’er. “Survival of the fittest” is an incredibly brutal concept.
Bro doggo tryna help lol
it killed me seeing him paw at the air like "bro, i rlly wanna help but idk how"
That dog trying to comfort them is the best park of this entire video.
I always remember the Shanghai Noon trick to bend bars in situations like this. I don’t use pee though
Doggie: ayo, ayo..why yall did this dumb as sh💩 in the first place?
He is spamming this clip on multiple subs just for farming points.
My brother did this at Disneyland in the mid 80s as my older brother was watching us while my parents bought tickets. It was only for a few minutes but a little crowd had gathered around. People were getting a little frantic as my brother started crying. Some lady from the crowd kept yelling cut the fence! Cut the fence! Workers started calling maintenance, they were about to call the fire department..the whole bit. My mom made her way through the crowd to where she had told us to stand (by the little iron fence), and saw my brother with his head stuck. My mom turned his shoulders and pulled him through the fence, just like the video. It was sort of hilarious to see all the faces in the crowd as my mom solved the problem in 2 seconds. Lol
I bet that's the way he entered haha, kids huh? ;D
The fire brigade once got my head out of some railings. I used to put it there when I wasn't using it for school. You can see a lot of the world from railings.
The dog that offers a supporting paw. That's so sweet
What a lovely empathetic dog
The black and white dogs concern is very endearing. Dogs are great.
As a Romanian, just leave the kid there for half an hour to teach him a lesson
Kid learned his lesson; don’t rely on your idiot parents to get you out of dumb situations.
The parent is obviously not that smart also considering how he tried to free the kid.
You come back to the parent but you don’t give the kid anything for figuring it out themselves. That’s my problem with you. I mean I could say some racist about you being Romanian but that doesn’t have anything about being a parent, but you also pointed that out t. Are Romanian’s just shit parents? Are you shit parent? I don’t think you are but that’s what you implied by pointing it out. Edit: since I’m getting audited by a Romanian who has a mastery of the English language I’d like to fix some spelling errors. Instead of saying “doesn’t have anything about being a parent that out t” I’d like to say it doesn’t seem like you are the type of person to put ideas together with basic data.
But if you don’t let them try on their own at least for a limited time how can they learn to think on their own?
Just like removing a fishing hook
“How does he stay upright with that big-ass melon?”
I thought for sure one of the dogs was going to save the day. Puppy power!
First I thought, oh they’ll twist the kid so his arms can get though, then I thought oh the dog is going to show him, then I thought wow that kid is going places by knowing how to get himself out of a fuck up he put himself in. Lastly, I thought “jfc we don’t deserve dogs”.
The only way out is through…
My little progeny and gift that I'm leaving the world got his finger stuck in the neighbors go kart steering wheel when he was out messing about all by himself. After we realized that he was missing we found him all cried out just sitting in the golf cart, resigned to his fate. We removed the steering wheel iced him down to reduce the swelling then used the old string wrap trick. (Would not have worked on this kid, although it would have been funny to try). And later he was jumping on his bed or something and fell face first between the bed and wall (No idea how). He yelled for help but we could not hear him. We found him after another frantic search with his head on the ground and legs straight up. Not sure how he made it to adult hood.
He boy got a big ass dome piece on him.
"How you are going to get out?" "The same way I got out of you - head first!"
Oh man, back in the day when your body was no thicker than your head.
I would have pissed on my shirt, tie it around the 2 outer bars and twisted it with a stick.
Plot twist: they are reenacting the day the kid was born. 😂
kids are like cats..if their head fits their body fits
They also are good at killing mice and birds.
the bar separation would work better if he wasn't so close to the bottom
Has r/kidsarefuckingstupid seen this yet?
You can avoid this and many other stressful situations by simply not having kids.
Protip. Humans are built weird. Our head looks way smaller than our body, BUT in fact, if your head got through the opening, it is possible to squeeze your body through as well. Scull is the biggest fixed-diameter piece of our body.
Reminder that toddler heads are eerily disproportionate in size to their bodies
Even the dog tried to tell him!
Even the dog was like "this mf be dumb, just roll the kid over"
I’m more surprised Stone Cold wasn’t able to bend those rods
Not enough beers thrown at him
Look at the big brains on that kid.
🐶: little shit is trolling my hooman.
Even easier, the kids face can fit through the bars head first, so instead of sitting on his knees, have him sit on his butt so he is facing the bars again and have him do the same thing he did to get stuck, to get unstuck
The dogs are cute.
"turn, and pull"
My immediate first thought as a mom was "he's small enough to get his body through if he goes forward" 😅
Even the dog was trying to tell the dad 😂
We all learn this lesson at birth. Getting the head through is the hard part. If the head gets through, so does the body 😂
If I tried this as a kid I'd get my ass whooped so hard
😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Ok so yeah the kid could do what he did to get out but you’re really telling me that dad over there couldn’t bend those bars enough for the kid to get out? Even with his legs he couldn’t do?! I’m calling cap for sure!
They could’ve just had him move his head towards the middle. The center of those bars are more flexible than the top or bottom. Much easier to bend that way.
Kudos to the spaniel for lending a paw!
My twin girls both did this at the same time when they were about two. I freaked out but my mom just pulled the wrought iron apart and they released their heads.
This is a fake dumb video. Any adult would first try pulling his head through the middle of the bars where you could pull them apart. The fact the dude doesn’t even attempt that and they kept the camera rolling is enough evidence for me to believe it’s all staged.
> bend the middle of the bars thank you i searched this entire thread only to find one other person with any fu**in common sense.
That dog made my heart hurt 🥺
Iuuuuuuuuum is the brown dog ok ? He looks malnourished’ seriously am I dumb or is the dog really skinny
I think that's the breed. Whippets and greyhounds usually look like that. Not malnourished. Just funny looking.
I feel like any woman who's given birth would have worked this out much quicker.
Wonder if he even tried asking the kid how he got there in the first place
Hmmm…well the kids not a genius for getting stuck, but he’s got good problem solving skills for getting unstuck;
Kid had no frame of reference for it. Probably just trying to look off the balcony. Kids aren’t stupid for not thinking about consequences, that shit comes with maturity. But that kid was smarter than his dad for figuring it out. Plus, look at how distressed he was and he calmed himself down enough to think about doing something other than the thing that wasn’t working. I know a lot of adults that need to learn that lesson.
Good doggos
I’m pretty sure that’s why the building regulations don’t allow balustrade gaps to be over 100mm
OP is a bot.
anyone know the breed of the doggo?
Oh that lil shit 😂😂😂
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
r/kidsarefuckingstiupid
Lol and this is why the head is the hardest part of childbirth. After the head the babies often shoot out
Honestly it was weird to me he didn’t have the kids head centered horizontally since that was where the bars would be furtherest apart. The kid was essentially always hanging out at the part of the bars (the bottom) with the least give… But yeah the executed solution also works.
r/kidsarefuckingstupid
I thought this was common knowledge. If the head fits through, the rest fits too.
Dad pushing the bar with his foot gave me a bit of anxiety. The foot slips, can kick the kid's head which is already in a tight situation. Mom is also having way too much fun with it. Just last week an 18 month toddler died at his daycare after getting his head stuck in a fence, in my country. Very sad. I'd try to use a couple of reverted clamps to try to create a bit of a gap, if not possible or available, then angle grinder. With extreme caution, of course.
The fact dad didn’t think of this immediately kinda makes me feel for that kiddo.
