I remember when, as a boy, my father sat me down and told me about bow-chiky-chicky-bow-wown.

“When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much, they have a special cuddle, and bow-chiky-chicky-bow-wown!”

Oh you youngsters! 20/30 somethings…. kids are not, I repeat, not something to be afraid of…
Just wait someday, you’ll find one at your doorstep. It’ll be strange at first but it will get easier, and you’ll find, yes, yes I can be around children. Teenagers on the other hand….

I wonder what’s going to happen to this generation of kids being pimped out on 8mm films and 35mm slideshows for the profit-free gratification of their irresponsible movie-and-slide-recording habits.

Won’t someone think of the guests?!!

Wasn’t there just a big foofooraw on BoingBoing about the boundary between referencing and plagiarism? The kid is cute, like most kids her age, but this video is basically a bunch of shots of a children’s book with a child narrating. How is this the best Internet video evar?

@#13 Mellon, why don’t you tell us Santa Claus is a lie, next, huh?

@#12, and others, I’ve asked the Hodge if he’d do this. Awaiting an answer.

Ok, so nobody jump all over me or laugh or get too graphic, but — what does “bow-chika-chika-whatever” mean?

(and yes, I probably spend more time with my cats than keeping up with popular culture…)

As for the video, I loved it!

@Cupcake Faerie
When he was just a couple of days old, a nurse said to my wife and I “You didn’t know him a week ago, but you’d jump in front of a bus to save him now, wouldn’t you?”

Truer words never spoken.

Whoever thinks this is funny must’ve been born yesterday. This is 1) stupid. and 2) stupid. and 3) stupid. It’s a good thing parents love their kids enough to delude themselves that they have interesting kids.

Its supposed to be like the wha wha funk music from seventies porn. See the Lizardman @#60 for an excellent description of how it now brings joy to our everyday lives.

This child actually annoyed me.

…until the end, then she got really bizarre.

you do realize that driving away the children means going back to the stray dogs and cats and odd raccoon.

I kept reading the idea from #6 as involving John Houseman, not Hodgman.

…which would be amazing in its own way (too bad he’s no longer around).

Don’t quite know what to think of this vid. Kinda made me laugh but got the strange impression that this kid is a super annoying brat in real life.

Interesting to read the comments – I thought I was the only one not really into the whole kid thing. It’s hard to blame or dislike kids in general though – they’re just innocents learning to navigate the world. Most modern parents of my generation however (mid-30s) that I have met are brutally annoying – over-protective and obsessive who seem to go through life thinking the world revolves around their brat.

Um, HOW is this the “best internet video in the history of all time this week”? I did all sorts of annoying crap as a kid. The fact that YouTube and oversharing parents didn’t enable my “adorable” observations/nasal voice doesn’t make it any more noteworthy.

In Texas, the raccoons are given free reign to reproduce, thus, we have no need to eat our own human babies.

I don’t think John Hodgman can get quite the piercing shriek that some of the images call for. The “bow chicka” bit, on the other hand should be less disturbing.

Dudes, whatever. It IS cute. She’s actually a sharp little girl with a healthy imagination… especially since she doesn’t look be of reading age yet.

Your parents may have been on to something (that you still have never picked up on).
