I can imagine that having children is a stressful thing to deal with. Sticky barf machines that you love and have to keep alive until they reach an age when they can theoretically keep themselves alive, and then you have to worry about their ability to do that forever until you die yourself? And that’s when you can finally get some peace of mind? When you’re dead? Yeah, NO THANKS. But it seems to me that the second most stressful thing, after having to make sure they haven’t died, would be wondering whether or not you are making the right decisions about what you expose them to and when. Like, should they watch The Simpsons? But what about BART?! Should you let them play videogames? But what about THE CONTENT?! And if you don’t let them watch The Simpsons and play videogames, is that the only thing they’re ever going to want to do and then you’ve ruined them even more than if you had just let them do what they wanted to in the first place? Lots of questions and seemingly no obviously correct answers. I get that. But I just want you to know that you’ve definitely picked the correct costumed superhero group for your son’s birthday party. I’m sure you had to sort through many costumed superhero group promo videos, featuring LOTS of different kinds of dancing, before you made this decision. Rest assured, though, that the decision you made was completely reasonable. And the song that they’re dancing to? Please. Just a children’s classic. Definitely not something that sounds like a booming, scary nightmare to me, an adult.

Or maybe they’re just young family members who were nice enough to volunteer to dress up in superhero costumes for the kid’s birthday party, but now you’re going to have to sit them down and tell them how appropriate of a job they did with their dancing. EITHER WAY! Either way there is nothing wrong with anything here or how weird it is because of their costumes, or the song choice. Can we turn the song up a little louder, though? And make it more rumbly? (To be honest, though, when the little kid does the same dance as the superhero — that is VERY cute.) (Via BlameItOn.)

  1. Seems to me like Spiderman’s dad forgot to set a password for inappropriate websites

  2. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.

  3. It’s true, we do get the heroes we deserve.

  4. Pretty sure everyone at that party got served.

  5. Those poor party guests. They didn’t have a mute button.

  6. Looks like whoever was in charge of costumes chose to go the “save-a-lot route” and rent 1 Iron Human outfit, 1 Bat-Person outfit, and 1 Spiders-Hero outfit (1 Topher Grace Spiders-Villain outfit comes free of charge).

  7. Those children are all going to grow up to be supervillains now.

  8. You can call it the correct superhero group all you want, but I don’t even want to know what nightmare reality this is that puts both Marvel and DC characters on the same stage.

  9. I’ve watched this eight times and I still missed the Stan Lee cameo.

  10. I DON’T NEED TO SEE THAT!

  11. I’m going to call my mother right now and demand to know why there wasn’t more crotch dancing at my birthday parties.

  12. That kid is standing incredibly still, lest he be caught in the crossfire of all that dick shaking.

    Godspeed, little man.

  13. The real question is: should we let our kids play the Simpsons videogame?

  14. I thought “The Green Horny” was just a typo. I should’ve caught on by the time I got to “Batty Man”.

  15. I can’t promise their instincts won’t take over.

  16. Behind the scenes of the next Major Lazer video

  17. This reminds me of when I was about 4 or 5, and my mom invited Batman to my birthday party, and I proceeded to hide underneath a couch because my young mind couldn’t deal with it. When Iron Man started doing the Tony Stark in this video I lost it though.

    • My parents had He-Man do the stanky leg at my 4th birthday. I still have nightmares about it. (The lap dance fom She-Ra was thoughtful, though.)

  18. MOMMY, WHY IS IRON MAN TWERKING?
