Hilarious: Kids Walk in on Dad’s BBC Interview (Video)

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 9:30 am



After a week of wiretap insanity, TrumpCare, and finally TrumpRail, we need something amusing and light to finish the week. I’m not sure which is my favorite part of this clip. Is it the girl’s proud march into the room? The baby following her? The mom literally sliding in on her socks? Stuff getting knocked to the ground? Or the mom’s final reach to close the door while on the ground? After watching it several times, I’ve decided that it’s the cumulative build-up of all these elements that really works for me.

Happy Friday.

  1. that baby just rolling in — hahahaha

    fantastic. Great Friday break.

  2. I suspect that might have been the nanny rather than the Mom.

  3. In case somebody hasn’t been following this, the interview was occasioned by the fact that South Korean president Park Geun-hye was just removed yesterday (March 10, Korean time) from office by the Constitutional Court. The BBC wants great world consequences to ensue from this, or at least its potential, but Kelly doesn’t buy that. He gives the interviewer nothing. He says things will continue just the way they were going before that (even if the appeasement oriented opposition wins the special election, which detail he didn’t get into.)

    Kelly wouldn’t give them the story. And he wouldn’t let anything disturb his mild tone.

  5. In rare cases “the ethnic”‘s genes of a pairing with a white or whitish guy are not the most dominant. My second cousin’s brood (1/2 Mexican 1/2 Irish/English via the USAF, but with a 100% Mexican wife) are all red haired and blue-eyed, looking mostly like the Irish/English grandmother.

  6. 3. Yes it looks more like the nanny to me.

    One crazy thing going on there in South Korea there with some people – they are so opposed to a very mild amount of malfeasance in office – really misfeasance – that didn’t affect people’s lives unless maybe you count the ferry disaster as included in it – and yet they are so tolerant of this tyrannical dictatiotship in Norh Korea and willing and even anxious to deal with it??

    The interview alludes to a few things it does not explain. The VX nerve gas is the poison that was used to kill the half brother of the king dictator in Malaysia. Right now North Korea is not permitting Malaysian in North Korea to leave.

    Another issue is the anti–missile system in south Korea, which China, and the opposition doesn’t want deployed. That’s why the U.S. is rs\ushing it s deployment as the current Prime minister can contioinue as axting president till the election which can be up to 60 days from now.

  7. * to kill the half brother of the North Korean dictator in Malaysia.

    Just yesterday the brother;s son announced that he and the rest of his family were beinbg protected and he thanked a few countries. Kim Jong Un is apaprently worried that to make a coup work some people (mainly china) might wnat to use another descendant of Kim Il Sung or of Kim Jong II, as Jesse Helms called him.

    (Kim Jong the second instead of kim Jong Il)

  11. Its terrific — its a perfectly human moment that gives those without kids a glimpse at the daily insanity that can take hold the moment they are out of your line of sight.

  12. 10, that distinction matters in re our IRS, but they probably tax the daylights out of both in the UK.

    But of course this will have serious consequences. The new president of the opposition party will likely restore the failed “sunshine policy” with North Korea and oppose the deployment of THAAD missiles on their soil. A return to heightened anti American sentiment isn’t out of the question, which is dangerous with the wild card that is Trump in the White House.

    Korea’s relationship with Japan is also currently strained due to a number of reasons, and the Japanese are getting rattled by NK’s missile test. And Shinzo Abe is a nationalist.

    I don’t fully buy the impeachment charge, but that’s a discussion for another time.

    The sheer panic on the part of the wife (or the nanny) is very real. She knows the person being interviewed is an important person being interviewed by a news organization. Of course nobody will be offended by what the kids did there, but for a Korean it’s still a minor stain on the family’s reputation and possible source of gossip.

    “Attorney General Jeff Sessions has asked the remaining 46 U.S. attorneys to resign, the Justice Department announced Friday, describing the move as part of an effort to ensure a “uniform transition.” The department said some U.S. attorneys, as in prior transitions, already had left the department. Now, “the Attorney General has now asked the remaining 46 presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys to tender their resignations,” a spokeswoman said.
    “Until the new U.S. Attorneys are confirmed, the dedicated career prosecutors in our U.S. Attorney’s Offices will continue the great work of the Department in investigating, prosecuting, and deterring the most violent offenders,” the statement added.”

  39. It’s been awhile since mine were that young,
    But come to think about it,
    Just talking on the phone usually was met with their noisy appearance,
    I don’t think I would have even considered a live video interview.

  46. samantha bee mocked an attendee she saw on c-span at cpac for having a “nazi haircut”
    turns out he has a bad haircut because he has stage four brain cancer

    i wish that progressives such as samantha bee would become as angry at iran for promising to wipe israel off the map as they do at some random guy for having a haircut which suggests he might not have liked jews way back in 1939

    progressives are deranged

    And I bet he doesn’t pay SS or the appropriate taxes. And he supports open boarders.

  50. I was thinking about why were the children so close, and in a toom whose door didn;t close.

    And I thought they must have been with their father before and the request for the interview came quickly – the announcement, or the timing of the announcement, that president Park Geun-hye was removed probably came as a surprise, so they set things up very quickly, and the children were hurriedly put into the next room. No plans. So they went out.

  51. The woman is a lot younger than he is, but the children are young enough to be hers.

    In this article, which has the video embedded, the writer doesn’t know. However that ist was the mother was the way it was originally stated, and there’s a tweet from Kelly in 2013 that indicates his wife is Korean.

  52. Back in 1980 when I was doing TV I had to do a stand-up interview with the St. Louis Cardinal baseball team mascot, Fred Bird, at an outdoor carnival. It’s hard enough to interview a guy dressed up in a 7 foot bird costume but he also didn’t say a word… just mimed.

    What made it even worse was this 4-year old Asian kid who kept wandering between us and the cameraman with several helium balloons just at our face level. He would stop and stare at us to see what was going on. After about the third time he did this I gently but firmly booted him on the behind with my foot and shoved him out of the picture for good. I got mucho grief over that from the audience for weeks. Never did any good to explain that it was my own kid that was the one who got booted. With him being half-Asian we didn’t look much alike. 🙂

  53. Love it, been watching it over and over!

    The LAT of course thinks it shows societal racism that so many people thought the woman was a nanny. *sigh*
    There’s no happiness anywhere for liberals.

  54. The CBS Evening News reported tonight that the professor’s 4-year old daughter, Marion, hasd had a birthday party that day and the professor said she was still – some compound word with a
    few “H”‘s .. He indicated that he might have been able to handle it, but then his 9-month old son entered the scene.
