When Channing Tatum And Pink Told Their Children They Ate All Their Halloween Candy They Got Totally Different Reactions

ADVERTISEMENT

Chances are that if you told your kid you’d eaten all of their Halloween candy then they’re probably not going to be very happy about it. That’s what Channing Tatum, Pink, Jimmy Kimmel, and a whole bunch of other parents did recently for a hilarious section of the Jimmy Kimmel show (which Channing has recently been guest-hosting), and the results are just as funny (or as mean, depending on your outlook), as you’d expect. Scroll down to see for yourself. Some of the responses are predictable, but others might just surprise you…(h/t: 22words)

There’s nothing scarier for a kid on Halloween than being told that all of their candy has been eaten

So that’s exactly what Channing Tatum, Pink, and Jimmy Kimmel did to their children recently!

Pink tried the same thing with her daughter Willow

“Last night, while you were sleeping, mommy and I ate all of your Halloween candy,” Jimmy Kimmel told his daugher

Some people found the prank mean and unfair

Others however thought it was just some light-hearted fun

I'm inclined to agree that people are being way to sensitive about this. This isn't Carrie. Nobody got hurt and everyone gets candy.

i disagree, i think this whole thing jimmy started is horrible. all it is doing is teaching kids its ok to lie to people close to you, steal from them, cause them suffering for a laugh. i mean how much distrust has been brought since this whole thing has started? yeah its all "light hearted" and no one was really hurt. But emotions of a child are extremely important in development. people just don't seem to get it that these kinds of things if done to a maladjusted child the end results could be devastating to their development as a human being. Every action has an effect. We should be choosing our actions better, not causing suffering for a laugh. that is my problem with this dumb fad.

I don't mind the prank and I think kids need to learn anyway that sometimes, unhappy things happen and you just need to deal with it. That being said, I would not do this prank myself because I'd be worried the kid would get the wrong lesson, as in "if I don't consume now, later it may not be there anymore". I'd be worried it implants an habit of instant gratification, less inclined to save for the rainy days etc ... Am I putting to much thoughts into it? Yeah, I know ....

... Can we take a moment to acknowledge the woman who said kids "shouldn't be so serious" and "whiny babies".. she understands how kids work right?

I'm frankly glad my mom never did anything of this caliber when I was younger. As an autistic kid (who's now an autistic adult), I couldn't take a joke or prank. At all.

Pushing any being down a hill is just stupid. That't NOT a prank, that's a form of bullying! All these kids had happen to them, was having their candy taken off them for a little while.

life plays cruel jokes on humans all the time. what will these "sensitive" parents do then? unless they believe they will outlive their children and be around to protect them forever, this notion of overprotectiveness seems stupid. better, they learn in a sheltered environment now than learning the hard way from the cold world outside.

I don't have a problem with the prank - it's just a prank. It's not like they told the kid their mum had died or something. What I have a problem with is the videoing and sharing, literally with anyone in the world who bothers to look, a video of a child who could not consent to it and can in no way retract it when they're older if they wanted to. That applies to so many videos, not just these ones.

weeell.. I think it's in a few years these kids probably have a good hearted laugh about this. But I don't like the fact that they did this just for the sake of a 'challenge' and also just to share the entire world about 'that time you prank your kids', the 'innocent prank' kinda lose its charm there.

For the celebrities' kids I think there are a lot more factors than just us and our kids. For our kids I think this sort of teasing is helpful. Joking is not the same as telling a lie, and the joke is revealed in a short time. People will tease your kids at some point in their life. Better they learn about it gently from their parents who have no malicious intent than in the cruel world where he/she now believes Billy did wipe his nose on her candy. Since your kid now knows how this sort of thing works instead of going into a tearful tantrum and calling you from their toddler phone he/she can confidently look into Billy's eyes and pop the candy into his/her mouth. And hope there really isn't boogers on it.

TEASING = BULLYING It isn't cute. It isn't funny. It is MEAN. You are teaching your child that it is acceptable to make someone upset for FUN. Speaking as a 60 year old man who was always the smallest kid in my grade, KNOCK IT THE HELL OFF, before you raise a little MONSTER.

They didn't really eat the candy, so in retrospect it might be teaching them that taking something that doesn't belong to you sucks.

I don't think they're awful parents but it's not my kind of humor. To all of those accusing people who disapprove of the prank, settle down. Yes, bad things happen in life. Now take a moment and absorb that... We don't need to create bad experiences for our children because bad experiences are already a part of life.

All parents lie to their kids, and for the religious ones out there, i do believe one of your commandments is, Thou Shall NOT Lie. SO, let's look back at all that you've lied about... SANTA CLAUS, THE TOOTH FAIR, THE EASTER BUNNY, ROVER WENT TO LIVE ON A BIG FARM WITH HIS FARM ANIMAL FRIENDS, IF YOU EAT A WATERMELON SEED, ONE WILL GROW IN YOUR STOMACH. so, yeah... how 'bout we all just take a chill pill and laugh.
