How A Mother Would Handle “BBC Dad’s” Tricky Situation

572

ADVERTISEMENT

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

    The wife was in the real situation but not as the person being interviewed. Being in that seat is a different situation.

    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.

    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.
