How A Mother Would Handle “BBC Dad’s” Tricky Situation
2.5Mviews
Remember when Robert Kelly was interrupted by his children during a BBC interview? People still can’t get over how hilarious that was, and now New Zealand’s Jono and Ben comedy show has created a parody of the interview, imagining how a mom would’ve handled the situation.
Starring Kate Wordsworth, the video shows her answering question about South Korea, just like Robert Kelly, when suddenly her child walks in. Not only does Wordsworth put her daughter on her lap, but she also feeds her milk, hands her other child a toy while he walks in, cleans a toilet, removes chicken from the oven, and defuses a bomb – all while answering questions about South Korea! Now that’s what we call multitasking. Check out the hilarious video below!

Oh good lord BP. Can you look at anything without the lenses of gender division? Thankfully the more sensible media websites took the clip for what it was and nothing more i.e. a funny, light hearted, family moment.
I don't think this is meant to shame the dad or say "women are better", I think it was genuinely funny, and it might just be you who's taking the funny, light heartedness out of it
Strange how the 'parody' also happens to be putting women on a pedestal and making an obvious indirect message that they are superior to men/fathers. something BP likes to perpetuate on a daily basis. Imagine if this 'parody' was the other way around. BP members would be infuriated and no way in hell would they find that funny.
Mick and Lee, I actually agree with you and upvoted your comment. But this is still funny.
Mick and Lee, I'd love to see the the gender reversed parody if it had been a woman this had happened to. :)
It's called a parody.
Dude, it was made to make fun the people who thought they knew better than the dad and were saying that he was a shitty father or some crap.
The posts we react to are because of OUR lens. You may get mad at the gender ones, I react to the political ones. It's not BP, it's all of us individually.
You could also see it as a stab at the thousands of commenters online who criticized the dad for his reaction to the interruption. Here they're pointing fun at the expectation that a woman could do things any better or that in the particular instance, live with the BBC, that it's even appropriate to do anything other than what was done in the original clip.

Sounds sexist... and arrogant.
I'm sure not even her can sort out the cosmic problem of the odd socks!…
I can't believe it ended before she found the sock! I can't sleep :)
Shut it ya fuckin roaster
Shut it ya fuckin roaster.
Your response and attitude are why this "parody" isn't such a parody after all.
I died when the bomb squad showed up 😂
RIP
Ahahaha, I laugh not because I feel the real father was bad with his kids, but because this was genuinely just funny haha
Initially I thought this woman was just being obnoxious, "showing how it should be done" but by the time the toilet came out... so nutty. love it.
Actualy we already know how woman will handle this situation. You know...there was mom in that video too.

The wife was in the real situation but not as the person being interviewed. Being in that seat is a different situation.
Nice parody
Here she is behaving as if she gives BBC interview every second day and her kids keeps coming in and out of the room all the time. Also, it's not about the gender... It's more about the personality type that how a person reacts.
Yeah...no, just no. This is about gender.
I think she failed to respond to the most important task at hand, fining her husband's missing sock. Get it together lady.
Agreed!
She defuses a bomb lmao
As someone working from home for the past 6 years while simultaneously caregiving for aging parents and occasionally my grandkids, this made my day. You have to wear a *lot* of hats.
I loved the swat team coming in and the toilet coming out of nowhere and when she was cooking the turkey!!!
I hate humor based on gender stereotypes, but I must admit I found this amusing.
Mom, the multitasker........ B-)
Frankly , this is sexist (& I am a mom) the teamwork shown in original video is wonderfully chaotic life and how to be partners in marriage
And of course we have all different coming up. This is with Dart Vader. Priceless :-D tumblr_omx...o1_400.gif
A mom would have known to lock the door.
Oooh God! Is not a about gender division, is funny just that! Have a happy day
hilarious hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa :D this one made my day!
A man lost his train of thought at the sight of his kids yet a woman manages to save the world and keep her house in check whilst doing a man's job. Love it.
If i remember correctly the women in the original video didn't do such a super job either. There's no sugar coating it, sexist pure and simple.
This was just as funny as the original situation.
This is how a mother would handle it... and a father who had days to think about it... it's a little harder to be so poised in the moment.
Hilar. I hated that in the real video the guy pushed his kid away. Really bad form.
Sooo true!
iyi güldüm :)
Oh Good Lord, Less-Fair-Sex. Can't we just all accept gender division exists because women are far better than men?
If women are so good at multitasking,how did the kids get into the room in the first place?
Not funny. I think it's missing Gin.
In a refrigerator filled with boxes of butter, I'll ask "where is the butter?" Good going, Mom!
Moms have it under control!
hey if she found that other sock she's a keeper!
ha ha ha
Is that a bomb? best one yet!
The first response to the child was what we wanted to see the first time; but where is the happy walk? The rest is overdone cliche.
lol, I disagree. A mom would have locked the door. She knows better.
this is just showing how women can out multitask a man, hands down
Ahhh the guy on the other side of the interview had a condescending tone that made me CRINGE but otherwise this was really funny! In the original too, the BBC guy annoyed me.
Smelling the chicken killed me HAHAHAH
A mom couldn't even prevent her kids from going onto the room. Give the divisiveness a rest.
This is a spoof and not a real BBC interview.
Wait, what?
"OMG is that a bomb?!"...
ahhhaahaha
When the husband arrives 😂😂, they never find their socks 😂😂😂 .
Hahaha, funny and true!
Too true.
Yes Girl!
Patronizing, unfunny, condescending......
I find this video meaningless and sexist!
multitasking mother LOL
It's a myth that women can multi-task. If they could, why can't they have sex and a headache at the same time?
Because it's not enjoyable when you're in pain. Also, a headache isn't a reason why a person CAN'T have sex, it's a reason why they DON'T WANT TO. Heaven forbid you think about the wants & needs of someone besides yourself.
So in the original clip are we forgetting that it was the dad that kept his shit together while the mother was the one falling around all over the shop in the background?
This. Is. So. True!
Attagirl!
I love this video, but I don't like the women are better theme. For heavens sake, Women are not superior to men, men and women are equals.
Ah the usual 'women are better' bull. Please.....

Very funny...apart from the segment when you feed a 2.5 year old child with a bottle. May this was done on purpose?

This woman is completely unrealistic we ain't talking about rehearsals here. We are talking about unpredictable situation which is exactly what happened . So stop dramatising and thinking of adding up small manoeuvres to spice up the scenario.

Nope.. I think the father in the original video was right in pushing the kids away. Not everybody thinks children are cute and would much rather not see two little brats on TV
c'mon that was the cutest walk evah
Caroline, Oh. Are you reflecting that all children are the way you were(and still are?) please give me a break.
