Horrible Holiday Pranks

'I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present' Part 2 Has Parents Ruining Christmas

It turns out that even after Jimmy Kimmel's challenge of giving children crappy gifts for giggles, parents continued sending in videos and thus, the 'I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present’ Part 2 was born.

Much like the first video, 'I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present’ Part 2 has parents playing a crude prank that will potentially scar their child in the process. Horrible gifts this time around include vegetables, deodorant and Barbie dolls for the boys. Of course, what follows is a lot of crying and words of hatred directed at mum and dad. What's funny about the sequel to Kimmel's prank is the added violence and a few children who seem to enjoy the gifts.

Prank your children at your own discretion parents, they remember these things and it could backfire on someday.
