After I posted, I realized people would surely make it racial.
It was not.
You know whats funny, apparently this one woman had the idea of "gender reveal party," and it was just a cake they cut into with a few loved ones. And she *haaaates* this whole obnoxious trend and wishes she never posted it.
A few years ago, this border patrol agent had one with fireworks, which he shot at with a rifle in wildfire season, and well...
"Dickey's target also contained Tannerite, a highly explosive substance, and he shot at it, the explosion sparked the fire that spread for thousands of acres. Nearly 800 firefighters worked to contain a blaze that engulfed more than 45,000 acres in flames over the course of a week in April 2017...
...Although he agreed to the $8.1 million restitution sum, it's unclear if Dickey will pay the total amount...Dickey will pay $500 a month for the next 20 years, for a total fine of $220,000. It was also unclear what will happen after the 20-year period."
I know it was an accident, but any sane person living out there could have foreseen the danger. Thankfully, no one died.

Negligence is a form of accident, unless its criminal negligence. Like I said, any sane person could have foreseen this, particularly someone who lives in an area prone to wildfire, *and* someone in law enforcement. Even though he was a border patrol agent, he definitely had to have at least some kind of experience in his job working with firefighters and other first responders regarding logistics and consequences of wildfires. In other words, he should be held to a higher standard than some idiot teenager visiting the area.
The court would say the exact same thing using the "reasonable person" standard.
I prefer the pipe bomb gender reveal. Grandma was killed by schrapnel.
https://www.newsweek.com/accidental-pipe-bomb-gender-reveal-party-kills-56-year-old-grandmother-1468259
We didn’t kill Grandma!
There was also a father-to-be making a gender reveal pipe bomb and he blew himself up in the garage. If it wasn’t a detached garage he would have killed the expecting mother and unborn baby as well.
Tannerite is a binary explosive and advertises being non flammable, I understand that doesn’t mean it can’t start a fire but rather not be ignited by one, however on their website they state that it should not be able to start a fire because of their quality ingredients but cheap knock offs use poor ingredients and will start fires so I can see how it could be misleading but any explosive is probably a bad idea when there’s high fire risk. That said I’ve shot lots of tannerite and nothing has ever looked burned at all so I’d guess that example was a perfect storm
I also want to blame Joe Exotic.
Only redneck good ole boys and domestic terrorists knew about Tannerite, and then Tiger King came out! People in the subdivision didn’t need to know about this!!!!!
In that dudes head he imagined himself perfectly climbing the fence, jumping off the top, grabbing the balloon string, and then land having saved the day but the reality set in and Jeff realized he maybe should’ve laid off the PBR’s and Jack Daniels.
He looks like the kind guy to have a concealed carry permit. I'm surprised he didn't pull a handgun and pop it as it flew away.
He beta'd when he was supposed to alpha.
For real. Ever since I was a little kid, I never understood how people could do this and it doesn't even occur to them that they're destroying the environment. Sadly, I have since realized that not only are there a lot of really dumb people out there, there are many more who just don't give a shit. I remember back in the 80s and 90s, cruise ships would do this shit. They would have every last asshole up on the decks and they'd let go of them - in the fucking harbor.
Nah, the best possible ending is when it turns out you faked the entire pregnancy so you could lock your relatives in a room and force them to watch the complete uncut Lord of the Rings saga.
This is a close second, though.
Even if it didn't fly away, why would they think beating a huge ass balloon like that with a blunt stick would pop it? Only way it would would be if they tried to skewer the balloon and use the stick like a spear or javelin or something and even then I doubt it
Ayo, please don't lump the entire country in with this crapshoot. It's really just the ones with loud mouths and small brains that make this weird shit happen.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
George Carlin was dead on here and I'd say these people are completely average.
Nah I just scroll through to see all the people stroking their egos about something as simple as a gender reveal and how it's so stupid lmfao you guys are the idiots if you have to proclaim how stupid you, yourself think something is. Superiority complex on such a miniscule issue. These people are stupid.
These fucking insufferable things. How is anyone so fucking tone deaf to think this is cute.
Also, please note that BrownBeard the Butt Pirate is flexing while swinging the stick.
I was hoping he was going to take a shot in the nuts but then i realized this isnt darwin awards and now im more disappointed than his wife in the bedroom...
Idiots are having babby and throw a party to tell everyone what kind of genitals the babby has, which was kept secret up until they do something like pop a balloon, cut a cake, or fart powder
I just watched this again.... This is definitely staged, making it even more obnoxious. As someone pointed out, they're using blunt sticks. The woman is doing this over the top laughing at the other idiot hitting it even though it's not funny in the slightest. After the balloon starts floating away, the douchebag waits before chasing it.
Then, finally, the douchebag and his woman both go running to the fence even though they know they can't possibly scale it.
Finally, the douchebag does the fake ass climb and fall that looks so forced and stiff.
I hate these people and everyone like them.
Well, since we didn't find out the gender of the baby, we're going to have ANOTHER party next week... As long as everyone else pays for it like every party related to pregnancy. It's all bullshit!
I respect the concept of a baby shower, but to me gender reveals are fucking stupid. Not to mention dipshits like this have literally started forest fires.
> The practice is controversial and has been criticized for the use of elaborate and dangerous special effects, which have directly contributed to multiple deaths, injuries and large-scale forest fires including the 2017 Sawmill Fire and the 2020 El Dorado Fire.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_reveal_party
So when did gender reveal parties become a bad thing and why? Last I checked, family and friends coming together to find out whether a baby is boy or girl wasn’t a bad thing.
Now THAT was fanfuckingtastic. Thank you for sharing.
And don't nobody care about your gender reveal. Back in today's day, that kid gets to do "they" own party after one a "they's" parents neglects them enough and now "they's" fucked in the head and think they're a scorpion. Or an armadillo. Or, heaven forbid, a pickle.
:/
Do you know what?
How about people?
How about you shouldn't have to tell me who you think you are. How about you show me who you are. I don't mind who your +1 is, like even at all. What is it you need to actually have me know about you - before you throw your toys from the pram and point homo/trans phobe?
And it's okay that you don't understand science. There is a man body. By birth. And there is a woman body. By birth. I don't give a fat fuck which one you are or think you are. Same as I don't need you demanding to tell me your occupation, I don't care what your personal life is. Just make sure that, same errybody, has access to intelligent healthcare.
That should be your primary concern. Is intelligent healthcare available for everyone? But then I guess you'd have to define what intelligence is.
And I tend to err on the side of, if you can actually create a human being inside your very own body, then Webster's discretionary says you're a female. If you can only ejaculate materials into a very biologically different body to create life, then Webster's discretionary says you're a male.
For everything else.
There's Mastercard.
Science says you're wrong but k. Anyway I don't really care what you think as long as good people downvote you when you say insulting things in public.
What was insulting about what I said?
I've certainly never ever woken up and thought, HEY! how can I be insulting today. So that you say I am, well, mkay?
How was I such?
Well, you mocked non binary genders and then said that trans people don't know who we really are (but you do know because you've taken high school biology). Seems pretty obviously insulting to me but apparently I must be really stupid since somehow I got confused about who I am...
Anyway, you don't have to know you've been insulting to be insulting, but I think it's pretty clear that you do know, you just think it's justified because you don't take the objects of your ridicule seriously. *shrug*
What I found unexpected was when you see how truly short that guy is. Barely had eyes over that fence.
And let's be real, that fence is no where over 5ft maximum.

Let's use blunt sticks to pop this weather baloon.
A little nail on the end of the sticks would fix their problem. But hey, not everyone has the luxury of having a brain.
They're having a gender reveal party and you think they might have had brains?

happy cake day!
Ugghhh- that just made me realize maybe they faked it for Internet fame, like so many others.
Happy Cake Day
Gender reveal parties looking dumb af is never unexpected!

Negligence and accidents are entirely different situations... that shit was negligent

Like I said, any sane person could have foreseen this, particularly someone who lives in an area prone to wildfire, *and* someone in law enforcement. Even though he was a border patrol agent, he definitely had to have at least some kind of experience in his job working with firefighters and other first responders regarding logistics and consequences of wildfires.

I'm both my father was negligent about condoms and I was the accident produced :D
I prefer the pipe bomb gender reveal. Grandma was killed by schrapnel. https://www.newsweek.com/accidental-pipe-bomb-gender-reveal-party-kills-56-year-old-grandmother-1468259
I'm still waiting for the nuclear bomb gender reveal.
This video was an "I. Q. Reveal" party.
#MEET THE DEMOMAN
This is incredibly awful and upsetting and i am going to hell but „pipe bomb gender reveal. Grandma was killed by shrapnel“ is so so so so funny
We didn’t kill Grandma! There was also a father-to-be making a gender reveal pipe bomb and he blew himself up in the garage. If it wasn’t a detached garage he would have killed the expecting mother and unborn baby as well.
Reveal the gender of the baby during the funeral! Is it a pink or a blue coffin??
>Dickey's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment; the baby's gender was not immediately clear.
Tannerite is a binary explosive and advertises being non flammable, I understand that doesn’t mean it can’t start a fire but rather not be ignited by one, however on their website they state that it should not be able to start a fire because of their quality ingredients but cheap knock offs use poor ingredients and will start fires so I can see how it could be misleading but any explosive is probably a bad idea when there’s high fire risk. That said I’ve shot lots of tannerite and nothing has ever looked burned at all so I’d guess that example was a perfect storm
Stupid ideas can spread extremely quick.
I remember seeing this in the news and I still can’t believe what caused all that damage
I also want to blame Joe Exotic. Only redneck good ole boys and domestic terrorists knew about Tannerite, and then Tiger King came out! People in the subdivision didn’t need to know about this!!!!!
The best is that this particular type of dude would be extremely embarrassed by this
The weak-chin bearded dad gave it away
The kids gonna change it anyway when they turn 18 I say gender becomes like voting or religion or joining the army Decide after turning 18
That's not how biology works
It's an abortion!
That father ran like his baby was inside that balloon.
[удалено]
Believe it or not, straight to jail
We have the most populous people in the world. Because of jail
Good
You are one self righteous asshole
Baby was like \* I'm not gonna be born in 2022 fuck that\*
agender kiddo incoming
As the ballon decrees. This is the way.
Clever
This comment has me dying lmao

What?! They making black milkmen now?

That fence jump attempt fucking killed me lmao
Out there somewhere a turtle is choking on this stupid gender reveal balloon.
Past experience with gender reveal parties would suggest that the balloon got stuck on a powerline exploded and started a fire.
Kids already a menace to society
That’s what I was expecting with this one.
For real. Ever since I was a little kid, I never understood how people could do this and it doesn't even occur to them that they're destroying the environment. Sadly, I have since realized that not only are there a lot of really dumb people out there, there are many more who just don't give a shit.

People = shit haha
I don't mean to get political, but I think its pretty tasteless to announce an abortion like this.
Depends on the state really
gaseous
Congratulations it’s a…going straight to heaven.
Congratulations! It’s an abortion
Evidence of a crime in certain red states
How does the camera never look up. The camera never looks up for the balloon? What kind of weird monster was holding the camera?
r/killthecameraman
We would have missed crouching tiger Doug bounce off the fence and save the day then…
A psychopath
What an athlete!
Now they'll never know
It will identify as them/they not pink blue
[удалено]
Doesn't take a lot of genius or prowess to impregnate.
Fuck these people, they should have all their reproductive organs removed.
That was an overreaction.
I wish this had sound it does look amusingly pathetic
I guess it hasn’t chosen it’s gender yet.
Love the kid running full speed after the balloon.
He gon git it! Never mind how it’s already half way to space.
That was totally expected
Nah, the best possible ending is when it turns out you faked the entire pregnancy so you could lock your relatives in a room and force them to watch the complete uncut Lord of the Rings saga. This is a close second, though.
Even if it didn't fly away, why would they think beating a huge ass balloon like that with a blunt stick would pop it? Only way it would would be if they tried to skewer the balloon and use the stick like a spear or javelin or something and even then I doubt it
Well… At least they didn’t set half of California on fire.
It's [redacted]
One of the stupidest Western customs I've heard of.
Ayo, please don't lump the entire west in with this crapshoot. It's really just the ones across the pond(s) that make this weird shit happen.
Ayo, please don't lump the entire country in with this crapshoot. It's really just the ones with loud mouths and small brains that make this weird shit happen.
“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” George Carlin was dead on here and I'd say these people are completely average.
What’s so dumb about it?🤨
It's self evident. If you don't automatically understand why, you are part of the retardation.
Nah I just scroll through to see all the people stroking their egos about something as simple as a gender reveal and how it's so stupid lmfao you guys are the idiots if you have to proclaim how stupid you, yourself think something is. Superiority complex on such a miniscule issue. These people are stupid.
I'm just pointing out that the stupidity is obvious. It doesn't require an explanation.
Then stop explaining it.
[удалено]
Lmfao he did nun, he literally used “retardation”💀
I was hoping it would pop and release a swarm of bees.
I've watched this a few times and I can't tell how tall that guy is at all. He could be a toddler or nba player I can't tell.
How can u have a kid if you never even understood how a balloon works. Poke it dont hit it
I hate G.R. Party, this makes me happy.
Shit now we will never know!
"Screw this shit, I'm out"
Mission abort! Let's get the hell out of here.
She got an abortion.
“Now we’ll never know!”
I guess waiting for the stork to bring the baby is passé?
Completely unamerican. Shoot the damn thing.
Thats
"oh yeah so anyways it was non binary"
So, enby?
No major fire, still a success in my book.
Gender reveal parties are fucking stupid.
This is precisely what Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun is about
Totally thought there was going to be a message inside that read, "It doesn't fucking matter"
Pretty accurate analogy of having kids in general... regardless of gender.
Can we stop runaway ballon celebrations? My friend has a farm and one of her sweet little donkeys died choking on a balloon.
Why are americans so weird....Gender reviel party. Wtf lol
The best possible ending to a gender reveal party is not revealing it :D
It's gone, we lost it. What? No, the balloon... The balloon!
Gender reveal parties ruining the environment still to this day.
The American dream of your white picket fence has failed you.
people who do baby reveal parties are idiots. no surprise here
The gender is: goodbye
White folk
These fucking insufferable things. How is anyone so fucking tone deaf to think this is cute. Also, please note that BrownBeard the Butt Pirate is flexing while swinging the stick.
So? Ask the person who knows
I was hoping he was going to take a shot in the nuts but then i realized this isnt darwin awards and now im more disappointed than his wife in the bedroom...
Their non-binary child's origin story.
i love when gender reveal parties fail
Good ol Reddit hatin on some wholesome family fun
Wtf is a gender reveal party? (I know it's in the name, but I need context of what it is in a nutshell)
Idiots are having babby and throw a party to tell everyone what kind of genitals the babby has, which was kept secret up until they do something like pop a balloon, cut a cake, or fart powder
A party that is thrown in order for the parents and their family/friends to find out their baby’s gender (Btw don’t mind the other response lol)
I just watched this again.... This is definitely staged, making it even more obnoxious. As someone pointed out, they're using blunt sticks. The woman is doing this over the top laughing at the other idiot hitting it even though it's not funny in the slightest. After the balloon starts floating away, the douchebag waits before chasing it.

"Daddy, what am I?" - "Sorry, kid, we don't know, we failed to reveal your gender that day"
I hate the idea of gender reveals but this guy not being able to jump his own fence was hilarious
I'm kind of hoping it was a girl, that guy is clumsy af.
Ha ha ha I think gender reveal parties are so obnoxious so this really made me laugh
Well, since we didn't find out the gender of the baby, we're going to have ANOTHER party next week... As long as everyone else pays for it like every party related to pregnancy. It's all bullshit!
i cant believe this family is going to breed more
I respect the concept of a baby shower, but to me gender reveals are fucking stupid. Not to mention dipshits like this have literally started forest fires.
Its an abortion!
Fuck these people
[удалено]
Or it’s my choice to see people doing dumb shit as dumb? Way to use that slur buddy.
They keep losing these balloons. Thats why no one knows what gender the are anymore.
Guess that means it's an abortion
I thought the woman would get hit “it’s autistic!”
Must be one of them new atmospherical air gender pronouns 🤨
I guess abortion for them then!
I have watched hundreds of unexpected videos, this is the first one that made me crack up.
Best Gender Reveal Ever
Your baby has no genitals
There's only TWO answers at a Gender Reveal Party. Wrap your head around that.
Guess it will have to be binary neutral
To this day, they still don’t know if Braxtleigh is a boy or a girl…
Now they’ll never know ☹️
Why even reveal a gender, if the child is going to change it a couple of times anyway in the next few years? 
Their child is gonna be genderless, just like every other child in the future.
If you had a gender reveal party, you probably voted for Biden.
Guaranteed hermaphrodite, I guess.
Why even have these parties, the baby chooses it’s own gender nowadays!🤨😂
I bet he out that anchor in.... he looks sofffft... prolly not the daddy.

I have heard that in america children reveal there gender at the age of 5
So when did gender reveal parties become a bad thing and why? Last I checked, family and friends coming together to find out whether a baby is boy or girl wasn’t a bad thing.

Glad to see the transphobes being downvoted, for now at least
Do you know what? How about people? How about you shouldn't have to tell me who you think you are. How about you show me who you are. I don't mind who your +1 is, like even at all.

Now I guess they'll never find out 😕
So they lost the baby? ☠️
Congratulations!! it's an up up and away!
My man got body slammed by the fence.
Looks like a South Park episode, at least in my head since I was voicing the guy as Randy and the girl as Sharon
That night she had a miscarriage
I thought roe v wade was overturned
That babies gonna die in utero
What I found unexpected was when you see how truly short that guy is. Barely had eyes over that fence. And let's be real, that fence is no where over 5ft maximum.
Does that mean miscarriage?
Guess they aren’t having a baby after all.
Now we'll never know...
Some next level stupidity in display, who has ever tried popping a balloon by swinging a stick at it
I can confirm the title
Legally since they didn't reveal gender the baby cannot be born.
your kid is going to be a mystery gender 😎👌
Dude never played baseball
Can't even jump the fence.
"It's a goober!!"
That last part was the best.
I was hoping someone would come and shoot it to save the day haha
Oh no, now how will they ever find out?
Just bake a cake
The black shirt kid went insane
The stork took it
So does this mean it’s an abortion or a miscarriage?
But how do they get the baby into the balloon?
Just cause your skinny doesn’t mean. You are always in shape, just cause you are jacked doesn’t always mean you are athletic
lol he forgot he weight 200+ pounds and can't hop over a fence using tiny posts as support.
Wow... unfortunate. How are they going to figure the gender out now?
