Sketchy Ice Creams from Birdbox Studio

A sketchy look at family life: Daddy's on childcare duty while mummy gets the ice creams.
As seen on www.bbc.co.uk/comedy

[@robertlange1772]

I watch again and again and I laugh every time. As a father of two now grown children I can say that there were some times that felt like this.

[@Hiznogood]

Same, mine are in their late 20’ and early 30’s. Seams like it was yesterday we played in the park … blimey how fast times fly by!😮

[@Archfiend_Sushi7746]

The sound design is what really makes the 2D style feel so fresh despite its simplicity. I adore this style and the humor.

[@frauditorsubslickboots]

[@CogentConsult]

Reminds me of a series of events that I went through with my kids. Put them on a plastic sled, pulled them over the snow to a hill 40 yards out my back yard. Youngest, the 4-year-old lost his mitten along the way. I let both kids sit on the sled while I walked 20 yards back through the woods to find the mitten. Come back to find my 8-year-old daughter had stepped into a muskrat path and lost her boot. Her foot was soaking wet. I reached my hand down under the ice and snow and fished the boot out. Put it on her foot. Pulled the two of them up a brushy hill. Got them lined up to slide down the hill together on the plastic sled. Gave them a push, and for some reason, they leaned, and veered off the hill right into a patch of thorn bushes. I pulled the kids home on the sled, crying and a bit scratched up and just a little bloody from the thorn bush incident. I pulled them up to the front door, opened it, and my wife had heard the crying, came to the front door, took one look at the kids and said, “What the hell did you do?” I just hung my head, shaking it as I walked away.

Check them all out. They are some of the best short animations you'll ever see. Maybe a bit dark, but super funny.

[@Scruffi]

10 years. 10 years this has been on KZbin and for 10 years I’ve been laughing at it. Every. Time. Still one of the funniest things anyone has ever uploaded to the internet.

[@elsab2710]

I have only just discovered it. I can believe you are still laughing after 10 years. Made by a genius.

[@sainandan988]

No bad endings can make humans laugh

[@UZAMS]

@@sainandan988 maybe ur not a human, cuz u don't understand humour and blame others for that Also it's not like this was real life, I wouldn't have laughed if it was. But some ppl even laugh when watching REAL fail videos, which I understand is inhumane. But sometimes even the people it happens to laugh afterwards. If this happens to my family, then yeah we would be scared and hurt at the moment, but laugh at it 10 years later. Also, pls stop judging ppl for their likes and dislikes...

[@visheshsingh1383]

Can any one tell me how to make this type of videos ...which software is required

Hmm ok, lol but I am a human

[@Spankypenguin1]

And suddenly KZbin decides I needed to see this 10 years later. So glad it did, my whole family laughed themselves breathless.

I’m back again after only two weeks, for another ‘fix’!! And still laughing out loud as hard and hearty as I did the first time! I keep playing this over and over. Every parent can totally relate to this. Just brilliant.

@@LoganT547 Im so sorry. But I disagree with your opinion. It’s like: I like no books, or I like no movies, or I like no food. You don’t like animes, because you have not found the type of anime you like, but they exist. There are soooo many. From sports to drama to action to horror to adventure to thriller... I don’t think there is not one anime out there you like.

[@Julius_Hardware]

Another one that has basically happened to me. Took the neighbourhood kids out for a bike ride. Through an unlikely series of events, every adult and child ended up in a tangled heap of wreckage except for one little girl. Then her mother came around the corner as she just said 'sorry'. Mother stood there baffled as she tried to figure it out. We didn't even try to explain.

Nobody was shot, but the recoil laid me flat of my back, plus my left ear was deaf for at least a day.
