It's funny as hell, but there was a thread in the pub yesterday where some hippie was comparing scaring a kid with a computer prank to the kid's father coming home drunk and beating him.

Holy shit that was funny. Kinda twisted, but the kid seems like a little girl. Probably pretty tramatizing. oh well. every time i watch it I crack up.

this one was edited a bit. The other one seemed more disturbing. The kid is like breaking down asking the (father?) "why?" over and over. And hes just filming him while laughing. What a prick.
This version seemed a little more friendly.

Poor kid. Funny when done to an adult, not when done to a kid who probably really believes theres an evil witch living in the tele.
Thats my good side talking, my bad side thought it was funny as fuck!.

I dunno...it seems kind of mean spirited. That little dude is going to have nightmares for the rest of his life. A parents job is to protect thier kid, not traumatize them for a cheap laugh... 
I think it's mean.

I have a friend that works at a day care. I think I'm going to send it to her and tape all the little kids being freaked out.

I think the college kids one was funny.. enough so that I LOLed, more than once.
the kid one wasn't. my dad used to scare me every once in a while when I was a kid.. with stupid stuff like that. I think I blocked it from my memory.

I wouldn't think it was that bad if he just showed the kid and then calm him down, tell him it's just a joke game or whatever, not real.. can't hurt him..... but when the kid freaks out and starts crying.. the dad is just laughing at him.. and he was genuinely scared/freaked the fuck out.. that's just messed up. And it's not like he was scared for a split second, and then realized it was fake like the college kids.. he was scared shitless.. then some more.. then crying.. kids can't really differentiate real and unreal so solidly. The look in his face was that of pure terror.

you are a very small exception
Terror is a powerful emotion in small children and really enacts the primal 'fight or flight' response. It is emotionally scarring to the child , weather it gets repressed or not.
as we get older we can rationalize our fears, but not at such a young age...

If this is the worst thing that happens to this kid in his life; I think he'll be fine.
You never had someone jump out from behind something and yell "boo!" when you were younger? Same fight or flight response, same neurotransmitters involved, happens to everyone.

mean or funny, well scaring kids is not my idea of humor so its mean.- but also a little bit funny, until the kid starts crying. the video might have been funnier if it endet before the crying part.

It is funny *because* it is mean. I laugh hard but the dominant emotion is "Oh God that is so f*cked UP!" in a bad way.
Funnyness doesnt mean approval. I think it's a rotten joke to play on a kid and I laugh because I feel so bad for the poor kid, like I do with some of those "0wn3d" videos.
That kid won't have "nightmares for years".. Nope, he'll probably decide on yet another occasion that he can't trust other people and shove another brick in the wall 
As a kid you try to feel out how safe the world is. This is a betrayal of his trust and judging his extreme reaction its not his first.

i think that little kid was a pussy for crying...
If a young child gets into severe distress this is supposed to evoke a compassion response in adults. Memorize this in case you decide to once have children.
apparently you cant read... 
"but if i did that to my kid and he freaked out like that i wouldnt just sit there laughing, i would atleast comfort him and explain to him what it was... "
edit: or even comprehend what i meant by "that kid is a little pussy"... next time read before you insult...
