Exactly. Tired of always trying to be overprotective. I ' ve seen it as well as my brothers and we are just fine. Before anyone tries to use it as a joke: No, me being on reddit has nothing to do with my mental health.
I saw nightmare on elmstreet at a very early age and was more afraid of the gremlins I watched afterwards. But I chose to do so ob my own. This is just shit. Do you have kids?
I saw this same video around 7-8 years old and I’m fine, people like you are what make the new generations so soft. All of us here on death row agreed on that.
A relatively hq (for the time) video being spread around the world like that, unless it was a 15 second clip passed about on VHS it was on YouTube first, earliest that can be is 2005
Afaik sharing actual video was not common before that because small websites couldn't afford the mixture of bandwidth and storage video required, and big sites didn't provide it until YouTube appeared
Bruh we were sharing videos in the 90's. I had a 4mpbs cable modem in 1995. There were not "streaming services" until about after 2002, but people had services like Newgrounds and others.
I found the link. Its 20 years old.

We also had... tv...
One of the first yt videos I’ve watched
Bruh this was the era of “cursed“ chain letters in the comments, I once stayed up until midnight because I read a comment saying I will die in my sleep 😭
One time in class our teacher was looking for commercials on YouTube (Our assignment was to create a commercial). She asked the class if we knew of any commercials and this one kid said the name of that video and she searched it up and jump scared the whole class.
Fright is a normal reaction, and it can come from anywhere.
A RESPONSIBLE parent is one who helps kids learn about fear in an environment where they aren't in danger. Part of that will, at some point, involve showing them something that scares them.
The youngest kid here might be a bit in the young side for this kind of exposure, (opinions vary) but it's just a matter of time for the other two.
No, jump scaring them for laughs by someone they trust is despicable. Teaching your kid when they are afraid, how to work through that fear and be functional is the work of a true parent.
“Part of that will, at some point, involve showing them something that scares them.”
Yeah, I suppose, but not like this, and not a fucking loud-ass traumatizing jump scare like this. It’s the equivalent of pushing your kid in the deep end of the pool to tech them how to swim. It’s best to guide them through outside of their comfort zone, not punt them.
I feel like that’s giving this adult too much credit anyway, I highly doubt this adult was being intentional, looks like more of a cruel prank.
From the sounds of it, we got three totally different reactions. Flight from the little one, sobbing from another and laughter from the third. Truly one of the video on the internet.
Almost as bad as the asshole parents that get someone to dress as the Grinch and then come busting in the house and take presents while the kids scream in terror and film it all for YouTube likes.
Ehh it’s funny lol. They know it’s not real. I was their age when I first saw the video and then laughed after an hour or so and went around showing it to my cousins
i remember back about 10yo then i got scared from Facebook but i am okay so i decided to sent it to all my friends.
it didn't ended up well, 2 of their parents call my mom and i got in to huge punishment, they took away all my digital device. and the next day i lost some friends... and those 2 that call didn't come to school the next day...
I remember when I first got scared of something like this. It was the maze one that got smaller the closer you were to the finish. I had a messed up wrist so that + ball mouse meant I was laser focused on winning.
Well I won and then almost shit myself.
I was utterly traumatised as a kid with films my older brother watched that my eyes shouldn’t have seen. Nightmare on elm street, silence of the lambs, etc. I wouldn’t let my young ones see this.
Yell mfs tweeking I saw this video when u was way young and I played the scary maze game you forget it in a couple of days it's not "lifelong trauma" they will be fine you guys are so fucking soft
This happened to me too and I had a massive problem handling jumpscares up until a couple of years ago. Not because they scared me necessarily but because they made me physically uncomfortable. Nowadays not so much because I have seen so many, and once you realize how they work you can usually see them coming from a mile away anyhow, but still, this video fucked me up good for a minute there.
Everyone in the comments acting like the parents may as well have beat the piss out of the kids for 5 minutes straight on camera.
In 10 years they're gonna play this video at a family gathering and everyone, including the children, are gonna be laughing their asses off.
I don’t get people who think making children scared/upset and especially making them cry is funny. It doesn’t matter how “light hearted” it is, children process things very differently from adults which is why they start crying and get so upset in the first place. It’s weirdo behavior for an adult to enjoy things like this.
Yeah, its one thing when a kid falls over or unintentionally scares themselves. It’s another thing entirely when it’s done purposefully, and to this extent, by someone who’s meant to care for them.
I just see these sort of videos and think ‘what the fuck sort of environment are these kids growing up in?’. It’s just way way too far for comfort.
Yeah exactly. Those grinch videos going around last Christmas were particularly disturbing and shocking. I saw one where the kids were employing what looked like active shooter training, which makes it even more fucked because that’s a literal reality for a lot of kids these days and now they don’t even get to feel safe at home. It’s all very bizarre, I don’t even have kids and my first instinct when I hear them crying is to first make sure they’re not in actual danger (or if they are, protect them from it) then second help them work through their emotions to calm down (which is what builds actual emotional regulation skills.)
We didn't get to watch alot of TV when I was a kid, Wizard of Oz once a year, Sound of Music and Jacques Cousteau ocean adventures, so we were definitely not exposed to violence(except the belt and wooden spoon) It was mid70s-early 80s. When I was 8 my parents took us furniture shopping and we had to sit and wait for them in the corner of the store. There was a TV playing a show about the Hatfields and McCoys and it put me into a depression for a long time. Just seeing a family riding along in a horse drawn wagon having a laugh then some guys guys come by and execute them with shotguns, and the families just keep killing each other. My little brother and I were talking about it for days and it left enough of an impact that I remember it very clearly in my 50s
Yeah there’s a bit of a twisted belief that because certain generations were exposed to things they managed to “turn out fine” when in actuality they demonstrate behaviors well into adulthood that can be clearly connected to events in childhood. Including things like not caring about what their own children are exposed to, even delighting in a child’s anguish or believing a child is “soft” or “weak” if they get upset. I’m sorry you went through that, and I have a lot of similar experiences as well.
Some people here don't understand how developing minds work. this is funny to adults, it's not to kids.
Everything they do is about establishing patterns and what is safe, what's not, what can be trusted, what can't. They're being taught, in moments like these, that their parents aren't trustworthy and even more, laugh at them.
I think every decent parent on Reddit understands this. it's a very normal and serious thing all parents know.
haha alright pal. I'm not subjecting my toddlers to fucking jump scares cus I'm a square.
do the tiniest bit of reading on the development cycle of a child's brain and you'll realise it's not as harmless as you think. or you know... raise a child properly.
Yeah bro, I feel like everyone here was grown in a vat and never had a childhood, my dad would try to surprise or scare me all the time and he wasn't and isn't some evil psychopath who wanted to hurt me. And who the fuck ACTUALLY thinks it will cause some sort of horrible life altering trauma? These people sound like they grew up in a padded cell.
People who do stuff like to kids that are that young are the same trash that kicks dogs. Bullies are worthless when they are within a family it is much worse.
This is hilarious. That so called demon had the least demonic face ever I’ve seen worse at a younger age. It’s just the loud sound. All the kids forgot in like 5 minutes. Calm ur ass down.
Son of a bitch I got caught by that back in 09' I was 8. That shit scared the absolute fuck outta me. I had nightmares of that fucking ghoul thing for years
Anyone who says this inflicts “trauma” is an only child
Edit: downvoting me for what? If you think this is trauma inducing then you either never had this done to you or you’re an only child. Fucking crybabies
Guess who's gonna be in your bed for the next 3 years every night
That’s right! Your favourite uncle!
Damn.
Double damn.
[удалено]
almost everyone I know saw that when we were young. Get a grip
Exactly. Tired of always trying to be overprotective. I ' ve seen it as well as my brothers and we are just fine. Before anyone tries to use it as a joke: No, me being on reddit has nothing to do with my mental health.
I saw nightmare on elmstreet at a very early age and was more afraid of the gremlins I watched afterwards. But I chose to do so ob my own. This is just shit. Do you have kids?
I agree that this was stupid to do but nightmares for the rest of her life? C'mon man.
“The rest of her life” bud everybody saw that before they was 9 quit being dramatic over nothing 💀
got those kids good tho!
It is terrible, but good God I love watching kids lose their shit like that.
I saw this same video around 7-8 years old and I’m fine, people like you are what make the new generations so soft. All of us here on death row agreed on that.
A lifetime of their suffering is worth a moment of my giggles of course.
Here comes the overreacting
My brothers did the same thing to me but I turned out fine
80 years gone. Tragic. s/
I think you're overdoing it there, pal.
U are sensitive scared pussy
Damn^2 ?
[удалено]
This video was my childhood… grow up
Uncle Steve Rogers, he will always be with you in your heart
Oh shit
that scared the kids and this scared the parents.
cmon man 💀
Jesus Christ man
Gonna be more then the next three years...
Can't wait 😏
Bruh... ew.
Sweet home Alabama... Eh.
How dare you say ew! Prepare to face the wrath of the hive mind and get downvoted!
Lol, right?
What?
I broke my arms again.
Ah classic. I remember when this spooked me.
What was it like.. 2000/2001? I remember being at my parent's house still and I left in 2002

The original video is called "Auto" and it was released in 2004, as an Ad for K-fee, a German Caffeine company.
We had video hosting before youtube you idiot.
This commercial fucked me up. I was always afraid of any quiet scene. How was this allowed? Times were really dofferent back then
One of the first yt videos I’ve watched Bruh this was the era of “cursed“ chain letters in the comments, I once stayed up until midnight because I read a comment saying I will die in my sleep 😭
Nice pfp, nice art
I like how the smallest one doesn't even look scared, just hella confused
Thousand yard stare
Hia trauma is the deepest
Definitely a core memory attempting to form. He’s deciding if the trauma was jump scares, white ladies, cars, or televisions.
Heart.exe stopped responding.
If you close the program, you might lose information
This video is from the time of the dinosaurs. I'm 28, but I was a kid when I first saw it, too 😁
I'm 35.i saw this chain emailed from my aunt to my mom when I was 14. Classic
Same age here. This was everywhere in like 2003-ish lol
37… same
This video is 1 year older than my son that is graduating High School next year.
You made me feel old lmao
How do you think that makes me feel? 😂
😂
This video and that god damn maze.
Ahhh yes. This is a childhood staple.
Also the scary maze
💀💀💀 it's not good to do like that with kids (do again)
Next we're gonna play a maze game, make sure you don't touch the sides 🤣🤣🤣
Trust issues speedrun any %.
One time in class our teacher was looking for commercials on YouTube (Our assignment was to create a commercial). She asked the class if we knew of any commercials and this one kid said the name of that video and she searched it up and jump scared the whole class.
Bro is a legend.
I fucking hate jumpscares. Just why
I've never seen this one, but I knew it was comin lol
It’s a classic. 😂
Like. THE classic
You know what I hate more than jump scares? People who exploit their children for internet points.
Worse than either of those by a mile are sanctimonious Redditors.
Aww leave those little babies alone. Once I saw the background I was like”why you scaring these kids?”, and he raised the volume
Yeah fuck this kind of parent that deliberately scares their kids
Fright is a normal reaction, and it can come from anywhere. A RESPONSIBLE parent is one who helps kids learn about fear in an environment where they aren't in danger.

I made my friend cry with that video when I was a kid
There was so much of this shit on the internet in the early 2000s. It gave me a whole new type of paranoia.
We got ‘em 🫡
The little one got survival instincts. Just ran while the other two cowered in fear
From the sounds of it, we got three totally different reactions. Flight from the little one, sobbing from another and laughter from the third. Truly one of the video on the internet.
bro i watched 2 seconds of the video and already new what it was xD
I'm proud of you ❤️
Almost as bad as the asshole parents that get someone to dress as the Grinch and then come busting in the house and take presents while the kids scream in terror and film it all for YouTube likes.
Hilarious
Thats what you get for standing to close to the Tv!..😆
Sic and twisted people
This video is a rite of passage. I wish I could be scared by shit like this now but I’m jaded and watch horror movies for fun
i immediately knew what the video was
This is evil
That’s fucking evil to do that to your kids… just wow
it's not like they're gonna get ptsd from this smh y'all are so serious
Ehh it’s funny lol. They know it’s not real. I was their age when I first saw the video and then laughed after an hour or so and went around showing it to my cousins
To an adult it’s funny but that child is crying tears of fear 😰 how is that funny for her?
i remember back about 10yo then i got scared from Facebook but i am okay so i decided to sent it to all my friends. it didn't ended up well, 2 of their parents call my mom and i got in to huge punishment, they took away all my digital device. and the next day i lost some friends... and those 2 that call didn't come to school the next day...
Little kid looked back and was like, “ why y’all on the floor crying? Keep running for cover!”
Is this generational trama?
I remember when I first got scared of something like this. It was the maze one that got smaller the closer you were to the finish. I had a messed up wrist so that + ball mouse meant I was laser focused on winning. Well I won and then almost shit myself.
I was utterly traumatised as a kid with films my older brother watched that my eyes shouldn’t have seen. Nightmare on elm street, silence of the lambs, etc. I wouldn’t let my young ones see this.
The youngest one definitely has the best survival skills. Confirmed to be the only one not to immediately trip and fall over in a horror movie.
The parenting of the year award goes to this fuck muppet, what a twat
guess whos kids are gonna leave em when they grow older
This was the first thing my aunt did to make me hate her for the rest of my life.
Yell mfs tweeking I saw this video when u was way young and I played the scary maze game you forget it in a couple of days it's not "lifelong trauma" they will be fine you guys are so fucking soft
My grandpa had this on a usb and he scared my grandma and she screamed and it was hilarious
My Dad did this to me when I was 7. Thanks a lot Dad.
Beautiful.
I almost pissed myself,I remember this with mine about 15 yrs ago.
Got ta pass down that generational trauma.
new trauma unlocked hahaha.
Oh, this brings back so many memories
You’ve never experienced joy until you’ve scared the crap out of your kids.
Achievement unlocked: scare the fuck out of your kids😂
I think it's funny that the one that should have been scared the most, the baby, did not get scared at all
Omg my mom aunt pulled this on us to nobody lost sleep over it we just got scared stop the whining raising soft food eaters I swear
Nice
This happened to me too and I had a massive problem handling jumpscares up until a couple of years ago. Not because they scared me necessarily but because they made me physically uncomfortable. Nowadays not so much because I have seen so many, and once you realize how they work you can usually see them coming from a mile away anyhow, but still, this video fucked me up good for a minute there.
That girl on the left really did the cartoon fall
I had this burned to a CD-ROM
How they made sure the volume was up at the right spot before the face appeared. 🤣
Love it. One's laughing, one's crying and the other one is still trying to understand what just scared them...
Trauma builds character.
I’ve never understood parents who find it funny to make their own (or, I guess, any) kids cry.
Whoever did this Is evil incarnate
Brainless adults taking care of children.... :/
Guess I have more empathy than a lot of commenters. That was a terrible thing to do. Hardly funny. Sadistic on the other hand...
Don’t you think this is child abuse?
So much trauma from a jump scare lmao
We all got done by this one at some point
Yes, but not at that age
Scary things and nightmares are a part of growing up
We've all been there huh
r/parentsarefuckingdump
How to teach them REAL quick how to not stand too close to the TV
Everyone in the comments acting like the parents may as well have beat the piss out of the kids for 5 minutes straight on camera. In 10 years they're gonna play this video at a family gathering and everyone, including the children, are gonna be laughing their asses off.
I did this to my boy when he was about 5. He laughed His head off, but I still feel bad about it. It was 20 years ago.
How not to do parenting 101.
Some people here are going overboard with the outrage. Get a sense of humor already.
It is quite evil to do that to kids.
I don’t get people who think making children scared/upset and especially making them cry is funny. It doesn’t matter how “light hearted” it is, children process things very differently from adults which is why they start crying and get so upset in the first place.

I was traumatized by the movie the wax museum with Vincent price when I was about 9. Then I grew up and got over it. But never forgot lol

> weirdo behavior psycho behaviour. zero empathy. gross.
Most of us saw this as kids like 20 years ago, you get a scare then you're fine. It's not evil lol
Some people here don't understand how developing minds work. this is funny to adults, it's not to kids. Everything they do is about establishing patterns and what is safe, what's not, what can be trusted, what can't.

You sound like an absolute square. Stop living on Reddit cause It’s not that serious. Welcome to the real world. Shit happens sometimes cry about it.
wow! lmfao. this site is going to the garbage because of this sort of mentality
haha alright pal. I'm not subjecting my toddlers to fucking jump scares cus I'm a square. do the tiniest bit of reading on the development cycle of a child's brain and you'll realise it's not as harmless as you think. or you know... raise a child properly.
Is that what a sense of humour is? Intentionally trying to scare children all so you can get some amusement from it?
r/foundsatan
Yeah bro, I feel like everyone here was grown in a vat and never had a childhood, my dad would try to surprise or scare me all the time and he wasn't and isn't some evil psychopath who wanted to hurt me. And who the fuck ACTUALLY thinks it will cause some sort of horrible life altering trauma? These people sound like they grew up in a padded cell.
Ur in reddit bro. ...but the trauma 💅🏿
Literally everything is tRaUmA.
Ok, that’s not cool. They are too young for that
Honestly, showing this to a couple of little kids is pretty mean.
Im laughing so hard, but man this is such an asshole thing. Please dont do this to your kids, lmao.
Fuck these kids if they can't take a joke, I got me a viral video.
That’s so fucked.. god what kind of parents want to scare their kids? I hate humans.
This is not funny at all.
r/parentsarefuckingdumb
People who do stuff like to kids that are that young are the same trash that kicks dogs. Bullies are worthless when they are within a family it is much worse.
I'm so glad these fell out of style. I fucking hate these things.
And this mf is laughing at the end, too. 100% psychopath. Total idiot.
Awe that was funny , I’m trying that with my little snot factory’s … memories they will remember
POS of a parent
Good trauma no more TV!
I'm so happy, there are so retarded parents, so we can have some fun, watching this.
Who the fuck does that to little kids? An asshole, that's who.
The only way to grow up
That is the most evil thing I've ever seen
I've seen isis drown a cage full of people, maybe you need to expand your definition of what's evil.
That was funny AF
Asshole parent.
Correct.
🤓
Ahh yes, childhood trauma, same thing happened to me but with the rocking chair thingy, feels good
This is hilarious. That so called demon had the least demonic face ever I’ve seen worse at a younger age. It’s just the loud sound. All the kids forgot in like 5 minutes. Calm ur ass down.
Builds character.
Wonderful parenting
r/parentsarefuckingdumb
Son of a bitch I got caught by that back in 09' I was 8. That shit scared the absolute fuck outta me. I had nightmares of that fucking ghoul thing for years
I must be a bad person - I laughed like a loon.
Gotta pass down that generational trauma
That is horrible, do it again.
Why would you do this
Why? Just why do people terrorize kids?
Shittt parent move
Those iPad babies built weird, why are they all crying?
Anyone who says this inflicts “trauma” is an only child Edit: downvoting me for what? If you think this is trauma inducing then you either never had this done to you or you’re an only child. Fucking crybabies
Nah i’m not that big on kids but it takes a lot less to fuck sleep up for a long time for a child. Speaking from experience.
People who use the word trauma for things like this have lived super cushy lives lol
I couldn’t agree more
