I’ve got it. If it’s a girl, we drop a nuke on mars to get all that pink dirt to explode. And if it’s a boy we drop a nuke on the earths oceans to get a load of blue water
Plot twist: the boxing match wasn't pre-planned. The mom was secretly pregnant with boy and girl twins, and the winner would determine which one got aborted.
I didnt have a gender reveal, apparently i just popped up one day and my sis was like "is that a robot" and my dad was like "no its your new sister" and all my fam was like WHAT. So yeah
I remember my parents getting a Piñata filled with blue or pink confetti for our expected sibling. My 2 other siblings and I then took turns hitting it until it broke open with blue confetti. That was fine. That was fun. But why the hell do you need a nuclear bomb to find out the gender.
Whatever happened to cake? It's a win-win: You learn the gender of the baby, you get cake, everyone is happy. Edit: Or ice cream. Or a pinata with candy. Or popping balloons with colored confetti. Or no gender reveals. Maybe just stick to baby showers. Whatever happened to buying gender neutral baby stuff? They'll just outgrow all of it anyway.
@@aarushnarayanan8444 I have a friend that lives out there and the pictures he took of what the skies looked like were terrifying. He had to leave his house and go to like a shelter or something but luckily it didnt reach his house
Then it's not a party, just make a simple reunion at home and then make a birthday cake with, the color of the inside of the cake indicates the baby's gender. Good party with the family, simple thing, no fires or explosions
We didn’t have a gender reveal party when my sister was in the womb. Me and my siblings just sat in the ultrasound room when they announced it. Gender reveals make no sense because baby showers are good as it is. Celebrating life is great but once it gets weird then just stop
does anyone here know the origin of/the first big gender reveal? The mother had had a number of miscarriages and it was the first baby she was able to carry long enough to know the sex of, so it was really just a celebration out of her own personal joy. She published it in some kind of magazine for mothers, and well, it got out of control. The baby is now only 10-11 years old, so the concept is SUPER recent! The mother's name is Jenna Karvunidis, and she's not a fan of the way gender reveal parties are handled in modern times either.
Not only that, but the mother didn't intentionally started this whole gender reveal party trend. She must've been so happy to finally have a kid, so she doesn't mind posting about it on social media. But also, the mother's kid is actually gender nonconforming. Which I find silly, because what's the point of using the whole "pink is for girls and blue is for boys" stereotype during the gender reveal party, when your kid might end up coming out of the closet, despite you using the "pink is for girls and blue is for boys" stereotype during their gender reveal party (please don't take this out of context, I'm not saying being gender nonconforming is bad or silly). But also, what's the point of the whole gender reveal party, in general, anyway? You don't have to tell the whole world about your kid's genitals.
@@ninarances9074 it's just a fun celebration of the parents finding out the first bit of information about their unborn child, it's not meant to be that deep. Also girl or boy can be a prediction for a number of different characteristics weather you like it or not, that's just science. Still, not something to be burning down a country over.
@@yinyangedits5846 Yeah, if you wanna throw a gender reveal party, maybe it's best not to be too extravagant about it. Just use cake or balloons, instead of anything pyrotechnic-related.
It's so self-indulgent. They need to stop acting like their baby is the most important thing in the world and that everyone should be super excited about it
This video was fun, Charlir talking about how people are setting their backyards on fire for stupid reasons. The next Charlie video on my list... "Almost Burned My House Down Making Candles"
These sorts of people are the type of people that would just ignore their kids, focusing on their achievements and how many brownie points they can get from their kids.
If I ever have a kid there's going to be a huge gender reveal party with all sorts of food and booze and shit. It'll be so much fun, we'll play 'pin the diaper on the baby' it'll be great. For context, if you've ever seen a gender reveal party, you've probably seen those confetti cannons that also launch blue or pink smoke depending on the gender of the baby. Once it finally comes time to reveal the gender of my baby, I'm going to pop a green one and tell my wife that the baby isn't hers and that I cheated on her with an alien. Epic Prank
"its a dumb tradition" Apart from being dumb its not a tradition. Its something that started less than 10 years ago. When I was born a lot of parents actually chose not to know until the baby was born, but if they chose to know they would just ask the doctor and that was it.
Interestingly I've never heard of it until I stumbled on these videos, it's an US thing I think. It's another one of those awkward events you have to attend and pretend to care just to safe face. Nobody outside your close family cares, and even then not so much. Seems arrogant to impose such a petty thing on your surroundings..
Back in the late 90s, my neighbor was pregnant and found out the gender, so she bought special m&ms with his future name (which I didn’t even know you could order lol) and “It’s a boy!” On the other side. She gave it in little bags to close friends/family and or neighbors by putting it in the mailbox 😂 it wasn’t too overboard, just kinda weird in the late 90s
You’d think that the parents would at least see the internet and see how awful these parties are but no. *They like fire. They only speak fire. Fire world. For baby.*
I'm still wondering why would people do dangerous gender reveal party like it's a competition. Just make a lava cake and color the inside blue or pink, or just tell everyone directly like a presidential announcement ffs
I said this in a reply to a comment on Charlie's other gender reveal video, but I believe the reason for this is attention; an unfortunate amount of people (at least in the US) are either too stupid or ignorant to consider the consequences of their actions, so when they see an insane gender reveal stunt get talked about on the internet a lot, even if in a negative light because of how dangerous that stunt was, and they just so happen to be expecting, they might try to up ante just to go viral, and that caused things to spiral way out of control.
i imagine the conversation before the ultrasound “so what gender do your baby is gonna be?” “a boy” “and why do you think that?” *“uuhhhhhh”* _flashbacks to baby boxing match_ “r-reasons”
Yeah. It was a reddish orange, which confused the hell out of me of what they were having. Till I realised it was supposed to be pink. Annnd...Of course they ended up setting everything on fire.
It was pink for like 3 seconds then it turned orange. Which tells me that it's a girl that's gonna turn into an arsonist that'll put the California fires to shame
my grandfather told me about how Christmas back in his day people used to burn down houses because they brought trees inside and then put a bunch of candles on them and let them dry out and he thinks that these people are in the same genetic line . he remembers firefighters being worried every chrismas because of it.
We do that in Denmark - I never had an accident, because we do it with sensible precaution. Once, we lit a dried out Christmas tree on fire outside, that shit burns up in seconds and would be horrifying if it happened inside, so I get why he would feel that way.
Christmas and Thanksgiving are still pretty high fire risk days in the U.S., lots of people cooking irresponsibly while distracted by relatives, overloading circuits with strings of lights, etc.
The thought of being this invested in your childs chromosomes is wild. Imagine doing all this elaborate nonsense then your child grows up to reject gender entirely
Because you can't reject your gender/sex? You're what you're born as. Plus, these people aren't doing it because they're overly invested in gender, they just want attention.
Gender reveal parties are truly embarrassing. Imagine telling that to the fire department after you burn down the Forrest next you Who cares about what gender your child will be? Your gonna love them no matter what anyways! Even if it’s a Monstrosity Of a child looking like something that came out of the Oooglie Booglie man’s chocolate start fish after he had Indian food, you would still love the child
Gender reveal parties were originally created by a woman who had many miscarriages, I think, and she wanted to celebrate that she was finally being able to have a baby. She's so pissed about what they've turned into now, though, and she wishes they hadn't become this
I believe she said her baby (now much older) actually ended up coming out as the gender opposite to what they revealed at the gender reveal party. She's a supportive mother and she said that's another reason as to why these current gender reveal parties are absolutely stupid.
@@amphithere no she said that her daughter isn’t very girly, and that these gender party reveal are very sexist and force female or male bias on the child. Her kid I think still identifies as female
Dad1: *makes gender reveal party, burns down the house* Dad2: "Alright, now i need to make a bigger fire to prove that im a bigger man, makes sense!" btw i draw stupid stuff if anyone cares
I think I'm gonna start my own underground gender reveal party ring. Itll involve a guy and a girl fighting to the death and the one that the babys gender matches gets a starting weapon. Harmless fun when it comes to gender reveal parties these days
Here's my idea of the perfect gender reveal: Step 1) Get on the phone. Step 2) Call the person who is most likely going to care about what the gender of your baby is (e.g., your parents, siblings, best friend). Step 3) and this is the real tricky part, you may have to practice this one a few times in front of a mirror, state "Hey Mom/Dad/etc, it's a boy/girl!" Now this is probably the most difficult option, which is why so many choose to go for explosions and boxing matches instead, but I really feel like it has the most well rounded approach.
Ya'know, I'm fine with a cute little cake to where you cut it to see the gender. But to do the tire smoke, or start a fire, or having a full on boxing match seems a bit excessive.
why do ppl in the us even do gender reveal parties? in finland we're just like: "so you're pregnant? do you yet know if it's a boy or a girl?" "the doctor said it's a girl" "oh that's cool. congratulations!" see? it's simple
In US culture, giving birth, pregnancy, dam near everything about having a baby is considered something spectacular and grandiose. Everything about it is one big song and dance about what is going to come out in the next 9 months. So, when they learn the gender of the baby, they want to announce it in such a grandiose way to celebrate life. Don't know why, but, it is.
@@FreshlyXpyr3d I do not even remember gender reveal parties even being a thing. No one in my family or anyone around me has ever done such a thing in the past 26 years I've been alive. Then again, most of my family aren't really able to throw such a party. The only thing that I can think of is just doing a baby shower and that's it. I swear, these revealed parties popped up in the last year or two.
I never understood that either. Why they gotta throw a whole ass party? If anything wouldn’t it just be more shit to do, something else to stress over, and more money spent?
@@FeeshDracomoo it just depends on the person, my husbands family love throwing parties, this just gave them a reason when we had a kid. They were like, why not, let’s party.
Well, the woman who popularized it back in 2008 did it because she had several miscarriages previously and wanted to celebrate getting far enough in her pregnancy to find out the baby's sex. I can understand that one She herself has given interviews recently saying she kind of regrets that party now that all of this happened The people throwing these "wild" gender-reveal parties ruined what probably was one of the happiest moments of that person's life...
My extended family can get pretty wild with parties/celebrations for their children, but thank goodness they don’t do crazy shit like these lunatic parents lmao
The mouth that was painted on the side is from old WW2 fighter planes. The "septic tank on wheels" paint is meant to mimic aged and rusted metal from said WW2 fighter planes. The whole paint scheme is themed after WW2 fighter planes, and I 100% know for a fact that that guy feels NO shame or embarrassment from driving it around.
Ooh,or-better yet,realistically-These utter batshit lunatics take their child (when they're older) to the area of where the fires had started and/or happened and be like: "This. _This is what we had did/done for you when your mother was pregnant/preggers with you! Isn't it splendid?" -like the utter lunatic crazies that they are-and have the child react to it. And _*_HOO-BOY_*_ ,that kid's gonna need therapy and a possible drinking problem utterly caused by the stress and mental breakdown relating and regarding to their eventual reaction soon,to get the edge off of the FACT that THEY feel _*_responsible for,pretty much,practically BURNING almost EVERYTHING DOWN and regret it handsomely.._* _Or that kid's parents are gonna be seriously charged with multiple counts of arson and other similar crimes and he-or she,I don't judge- is gonna be taken to a more SANER set of parents/family,and later wait for the ugly custody battle and similar-eventual mental breakdown soon after,honestly in my opinion though..as you do,people,as you do,I dunno._
Be hilarious if that baby of the gender reveal forest fire grows up to be a just some underwhelming disappointment to the family. Father: Dammit! We burned down a forest when we were your age. You can at least move out! Son: Not until my hentai fan-fic gets published, Dad!
AnMax Productions hmm,I think mostly hilariously and part-mostly horrible,in my opinion-dude. Either that, _or He and his generational,"accidental/intentional arsonist"-brethren are gonna REALLY be living it up in either really unwelcome communities of-and/or-literal _*_prisons_*_ as social pariahs and are gonna be blatantly paying for their parent's bullshit-numbnut/dick move regarding their gender reveal party back in the womb with both their money,their blood/lives AND later environmental inheritance much later on in life,with the _*_possibility of_*_ a butt-tonne of therapy with the other kids whom would have suffered even MORE due to things that they ALSO had little to no control over (Think the whole anti-abortion removal law repealings,kids whom were born to..other kids whom had been detained and separated from their parents-you know the one-and the overflow with the Foster/government care systems,for example mind you) being all lumped into one,for instance._ Jesus.
