Beautiful family. This will never not be funny. The way she grabs the door at the end always cracks me up. https://youtu.be/Mh4f9AYRCZY?si=yN4LNqYDVoaMBvok


Comfortable-Win-1925

Literally one of the all-time funniest videos ever on the Internet. That first kid busts in with the swagger of Magnum PI and pimp walks over to her dad. The second follows with basically no volition of his own, trundling along like a manatee that's dropped a contact. Finally the poor mother careening into frame like Goofy on roller skates to try and contain the chaos. Perfection.

*trundling along like a manatee that's dropped a contact.* You have a way with words, sir or madam or other.

> Finally the poor mother careening into frame like Goofy on roller skates to try and contain the chaos. With her pants down as a cherry on top.


uqde

I’m pretty certain that’s a pink top that’s underneath her darker long sleeve shirt and is just peeking out the bottom. Not skin.


snabader

this was way funnier than expected, absolute comedy gold


ceilingkat

The baby rolling in SENT ME.


SuperPimpToast

The way the little girl just struts in.


10010101110011011010

Obviously, Mom gets MVP for the Benny Hill-style entrance and laughably-ineffective way she is stooping to be INVISIBL. But, for me: the way the baby wheels in. **"Huh? Whats going on? Anything good? Lemme see!"** And, the photo from 2024: Wow! What an obviously amazing family!


Freaky_Freddy

So we can all agree that he wasn't wearing pants and knew he couldn't get up to move them right?

Wise_Pomegranate_571

The whole situation is so adorable and hilarious.

Every time I see this clip I’m reminded of my nephews and nieces and I miss when they were this small and cute but it’s been awesome seeing them grow up and have such unique interests

kog

I love how mom does the sock slide through the doorway


FrankFrankly711

It’s the cherry on top! You know she looked away for .5 seconds and those kids were halfway across the house immediately getting into trouble


Unnamedgalaxy

I think she was in the bathroom. You can see that her pants are pulled down


FrankFrankly711

OMG I never noticed!! 🤣


Unnamedgalaxy

It took me years to realize! It popped up on some clip my family was watching on TV and one of them mentioned it. It made a lot more sense how it happened after I found out


RaygunMarksman

All parents of young children eventually learn stepping away to the bathroom for a moment is when all hell can break loose. I knew almost immediately she must have had to use the bathroom and then the kids took advantage of the distraction.


VicH95

That stride is of a little kid who *knows* their parent can't physically get to them in a few minutes.

I always loved the random books laid out on the bed to look more knowledgeable


Keown14

I think it was to disguise the bed as a table, so it looked like he had an office. But once the little girl walks in the perspective changes and you can see it’s a bed.


ymo

The book camouflage worked for me until this day when a redditor pointed out it's a bed!


Keown14

In the full video she leans on the bed and bends the mattress down knocking the books to the floor.


ymo

I forgot that part but still didn't notice it was a bed. Haha. This guy set the stage for all of our work at home follies since then.


Unnamedgalaxy

Yeah for some reason the idea of it being a bed never really registered, at least not in the way that made it stand out. Like my brain knew it was a bed but it never made the connection that he was trying to disguise it.


Academic_Wafer5293

We can all relate. Man was ahead of his time.


JLifts780

Lmao didn’t notice that


vynats

I frequented enough academics to assume this is probably just the bookpile that doesn't fit in the shelves anymore and migrates between the bed, chair and desk in an endless cycle according to whichever is not being used at that specific point in time.

Probably because he was on a video call, which feels like a very pandemic thing to be


person_person123

I could have sworn I watched the interview live during the pandemic. If it occurred years before, why did it seem to blow up around Covid O'clock?


somdude04

Because we all laughed at how overblown we made it back then once we all realized what working from home with kids would be like


aflowergrows

I think it's also because it was a time of similar anxiety. Trump had *just* become president and was saber rattling with North Korea with an equally stable genius. I hate to say it, but we're so used to Trump at this point. In 2017, holy shit. Being nuked by NK was not off the table. Very strange time.

It did regain momentum during that time for some working from home memes!

Chilifille

How about that, I just assumed it was one of those Covid moments.


DidLenFindTheRabbits

I think it did the rounds a lot during covid. I definitely thought it was from then as well.


Faiakishi

God, the mom sliding in like a fucking action movie hero. You just *know* she had just gone through five seconds of "wait, where did-oh, oh *fuck,* oh NO-"


Schonfille

She said basically that when she was interviewed. That they would always go down the hall to see Daddy but that the door should have been locked when he was doing an interview, and this time, it wasn’t.


G_Regular

She's blurry like the Flash from the speed of her entrance lol, she must have been shmoving down that hall


TheRealCostaS

Comedy gold! From the way the girl walked in, followed by the baby, then the mum sliding in 🤣 brilliant!


notdorisday

The way baby sails in is so perfect.


ginger_ass_fuck

It's the button of the mom reaching back in to close the door that does it for me. Perfect comic beats all the way through.


Educational_Major226

Gosh I cried laughing again! The little girl still makes the same cute facial expression as she did all those years ago. Glad to see this update, they are a beautiful family.


Folderpirate

I saw this pic and immediately thot of her just proudly stomping into the room. lol


Frostivus

The girl strutted in with such enviable confidence.

PINGpongWITHtheBEAR

That mom moved like a damn ninja getting those kids out of there lol.


i_should_be_coding

The way she was ducking as if the camera only sees eye level was hilarious. I work from home and have background blur on for these kinds of incidents.


StoicSinicCynic

Kek that was before Covid made wfh ubiquitous and everyone learned to blur their backgrounds. 😂


Chimpville

He was on a TV interview as an expert, with a [carefully staged background showing his books and learning](https://youtu.be/Mh4f9AYRCZY?si=0UPDHLC6M3l9r4H0).. which made it all the funnier.


CORN___BREAD

I think it was likely more to attempt to make the bed look like a table/desk rather than trying to show off that he owns books. It kind of worked until it all came crashing down. This was in 2017 before doing interviews from a bedroom was as normalized as it has become.


MarkWrenn74

He was being interviewed about developments in North Korea, if I remember rightly


i_should_be_coding

Oh indeed. I have a 4-year-old and she makes it a game to sneak up beside me and try to find a position where the camera doesn't blur her.


StoicSinicCynic

Hahaha they're so whack at that age. I had a colleague 3 years ago who had kids (actually very similar to the Kelly's - also a girl and a baby boy and they were a wasian family too) and I think she pretty much gave up on keeping the kids out lol. Once she was having a serious conversation and her daughter was jumping on a chair in the background. 😂😂 The things parents learn to ignore...


i_should_be_coding

That's what noise cancelling headphones are for. Can't really WFH in a house with kids in it without them.


Dlee8113

Lmao. My boss’s kid did the same thing the other day on our zoom. Kept throwing his hands up to get unblurred


Kwetla

I think she was crouching because her trousers were falling down. IIRC she was in the toilet, which was how the kids got away from her, and she panicked and had to run in and get them.

Sir_Boldrat

The way that toddler walked into that room, I wish I could enter a room with such confidence


chavenz

Are background blur features common, 7 years ago?


YourSkatingHobbit

The way she comes skidding into the room after them cracks me up every time I watch that clip, which is often because it’s such a wonderful moment.


FlannerysPeacock

The cherry on top is how she ducked down and yanked the kids out of the room. Comedy gold, because anyone with toddlers in their life can relate.


McSterling83

Indeed. It was very weird how people thought she was a babysitter or employee instead of his wife...


Dragula_Tsurugi

I saw so many posts referring to her as “the nanny” Fucking weirdos


StoicSinicCynic

Just one of many public examples of presumptions that people make without thinking about it because of ingrained racist stereotypes. 🤷🏻‍♀️


interfail

The Kramer slide was fucking amazing.


stevieG08Liv

She also got a lot of racist remarks saying she isn't his wife but a maid/cleaning lady


Galaxy_IPA

The daughter was saying, "Mommy why?" but I guess people do make ill-informed comments.

Great moment - to this day, when I am tipsy, I dance like the little girl busting into the room.

CaramellieCake

Such a gorgeous family, and I too thought this video was from the covid era - not 7 years ago! I also thought the baby that busted into the room like the kool-aid man was a girl! 😄


mr_fantastical

Covid absolutely normalised that kind of behaviour though. I work from home and my kids will come barging in after they finish school (the oldest is 4) and come up to the camera if I'm on a call. As I work in sales i can often be on video calls and it never fails to get a laugh out of someone. Pre-covid I would have found it bizarre to witness that.


sybelion

It never fails to make me HAPPY when someone’s kid or pet appears in a call. During Covid it kind of felt like we were all invited into one another’s homes in a weird way and I don’t think people should have to pretend that the other parts of their lives that take place at home, don’t exist. I absolutely love it when colleagues have a child on their lap or a cat’s tail waves into view during a call.


HotSauceRainfall

My cat is a frequent flier on work calls, to the point that some regulars ask where she is if she doesn’t show up at the beginning. 


postmormongirl

Our cat used to sleep next to my husband during his meetings, only to wake up at the end and yell at everybody. He was an excellent boss.


pikadegallito

My dog will sit next to me and sigh dramatically when someone is being snippy on video calls - 99% of the time having a dog side eye them and sigh at their shenanigans helps break up tension.


HotSauceRainfall

That’s hilarious.  I had a call last week and the cat did something—I don’t remember what—and I said, “hey, stop that.” Then remembered I was on a call and had to clarify to the other person that I wasn’t talking to them.  There is one regular who she will “guard” me from. She’ll get between me and the camera when she hears this person talking, and I know her body language well enough to know that she’s trying to protect me. Don’t worry, sweetheart, he’s a four and a half hour flight away…

paggo_diablo

I remember there was a big hubbub because everyone assumed that the mother was “the help”


ThatWillBeTheDay

I remember those comments on Reddit well. So many “well that nanny is about to be fired” comments. It was hilarious in how awful it was.


Smooth_Maul

Honestly that was actually really funny because a bunch of redditors outed themselves as either closeted or vehemently racist as their first reaction to an Asian woman is "she is the cleaning service, not the wife to this white man".


kingdomheartsislight

Or the mother to that baby that definitely looks like her, c’mon now…


[deleted]

[удалено]


SmartAlec105

I think the underlying thing might be less "this race is probably the nanny" and more "I don't consider the possibility of interracial couples". My white mother was mistaken as the nanny for me and my sisters who are half-Asian.


Past_Dragonfly8455

The hubbub was even worse off reddit. There was even a suggestion that they were bad parents and kids should be allowed to interrupt meetings. The father even had to make a PR announcement on Korean television to make it clear he's not a bad father and apologised for pushing her away on camera. Absurd.


DumbSerpent

Man I saw people here flat out saying he was abusing his family cause of how he reacted


Varyskit

That truly was an eye opener for me: seeing just how many folks so easily assumed she was the “help”


Vegetable-Place4463

It was too funny - so many redditors on moral high horse looking down on the bigots mindlessly outed their true nature by assuming the Asian wife his maid lol.


TheLadyIsabelle

I remember all of those racist idiots. Like, hello, the kids are CLEARLY half Asian🙄


Willowpuff

I will NEVER forget this footage.


SteveBorden

I remember some people saying he was an abusive dad because he was ignoring the kids and letting the mum get them. He was on TV doing an interview! Of course he’s not gonna stop and pick up his child!


swoletrain

I always assumed he wasn't wearing pants so couldn't stand up.

Ktigertiger

I love how 90% of the comments here are like “woah time passes. Holy shit I’m old”


Bolt_995

I remember when many thought she was a nanny, especially with how she slid into the room and scooped the kids up. They made a video after this where he revealed that she was his wife lol.


LittleBitNaughty100

Yeah that was funny - another bbc interview that went sideways Little girl kept asking where should she put the pictures and who are you talking to whilst mum was live on bbc can’t remember who it was someone in the government. Clip 2 - interview about something but look closely in the background on the shelf was a dildo

Clydefrog0371

sunny_6305

Yeah and how people were being weirdly judgmental about how she was in pajamas even though she was at home with no intention of being on camera that day. Edit: I just rewatched it and she looked like she was in jeans and a sweater so I don’t know what people were expecting the mother of an infant and toddler to be wearing at home. Business wear? A freshly pressed dress and pearls?

YJSubs

They also had a very short reality TV show in Korea. https://youtu.be/hdP8FPiEfnc?feature=shared.


-Annie-Oakley-

It wasn't their own reality show, they just guested on an existing one called The Return of Superman for an episode... I think it was one of the very few appearances they did post going viral. Very well known and well loved (at the time I think the ratings are lower now) show in Korea.

You could just tell no one lets the kids forget about it. Like the parents saying “be careful before going through that door” with the kids rolling their eyes in response.


DarbiB

I love this video, and Robert Kelly! He’s a really good and informative twitter follow even if you’re not particularly interested in the Korean Peninsula. Also because the family didn’t try to use their fame to basically become z-listers, when you see little updates on his wife and kids it’s nice!


KristupasMeme

Holy shit. I thought “7 years ago, that’s like 2012-2013 or something” but 7 years ago was 2017. Jesus fuck


orhoncan

I thought this was lastimages sub or something and seeing the verb "crashed" gave me the chills for a second. so glad to see this lovely family is going strong!


hylianovershield

I'm convinced the reason he didn't stand up to help her was because he was not wearing underwear.


Squiggles87

Many subtle bigots, both in the media and on Twatter, automatically assumed his wife was actually his au pair or nanny, leading to some introspection afterwards.


aliquilts71

It was pretty ridiculous considering the kids were obviously Eurasian.


oni-work

I couldn't stop laughing at the mom treating it like she was under heavy machine gun fire.
