Much like the first video, 'I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present’ Part 2 has parents playing a [crude prank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sun-trick-treat-pouches) that will potentially scar their child in the process. [Horrible gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-grinch) this time around include vegetables, deodorant and [Barbie dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vlad-frank-midnight-mischief) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Holiday Prank Videos:** Creating and sharing videos of holiday pranks can generate widespread media attention and boost online engagement for brands and social media influencers. - **Surprise Gifting Campaigns:** Brands can employ surprise gifting campaigns through social media to connect with their audience in unique ways and promote their brand during the holiday season. - **Embracing Anti-marketing:** Anti-marketing strategies can sometimes lead to greater public interest and viral exposure for businesses, particularly during the holiday season. ### Who This Affects Most - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can create opportunities for brands and individuals to generate buzz and attention through holiday-themed content. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toys and gift makers can capitalize on the popularity of holiday prank videos by creating ironic or humorous gift products that appeal to consumers. - **Video Production:** Video production companies and content creators can leverage the popularity of holiday pranks to create a viral marketing campaign for businesses and individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Branded Gift Replacement Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replace-bad-gifts.md) - [Parental Gift Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parent-present-gift-generator.md) - [Humorous Holiday Snack Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-snack-packs.md) - [Airline-Approved Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westjet-parents-wishlist.md) - [Demonic Parenting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oni-kara-denwa-app.md) - [Boldly Humorous Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-not-the-thought-that-counts.md) - [Holiday Diss Tracks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rizzler.md) - [Humorous Mother's Day Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gift-glow-up-shop.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md)
