- Hi we're Joel and Lia.

- And welcome back to Vlogmas.

- It's another video for ya.

- Today we're gonna be responding to,

reacting to not responding,

to I Gave My Kids a Terrible Present.

- We love the Jimmy Kimmel show.

We've seen, well I've seen some of these videos before

and the I Ate My Kids Halloween Candy.

- Amazing. - Hysterical,

what a genius idea. - So good.

- So we just thought we'd react to it

This is the Christmas present,

so for those of you that don't know,

it's where kid parents wrap up a terrible gift

for their children like this, you know,

just anything rubbish like an old banana,

wrap it up and give it to their kids

and film the kids and see what their reaction is.

See if they're grateful, ungrateful, see what they do.

- I love testing children, I just think

that so much is revealed, isn't it?

- Yeah.

(on screen video audio)

Oh his face!

- I don't like this.

- Aww.

- [Woman] What is it?

- An old banana

- [Woman] An old banana?

(laughing)

Isn't that exciting?

- The tops bit as well.

- Oh, she's squeezing it

(groaning)

- [Man] A battery and an onion.

What's wrong?

- I don't want an onion.

- I don't want an onion!

- [Man] Did you smell your onion?

Here, smell it.

- [Child] No, I smelled it.

- Eggs, eggs?

- [Woman] Open it.

- A hot dog.

(laughing)

- I'd definitely do this if I had kids.

- Oh the dog ate the hotdog.

- I got a girl activity book with stickers.

(laughing)

I'm not a girl!

- I'm not a girl.

- I'm a boy.

- I'm not like a boy either.

- This is the worst present ever.

- [Woman] Marissa, what do you tell me

all the time about my cooking?

- I love it.

- [Woman] You love my cooking so I made you something.

- Then why is it like, a sandwich that's like that?

- You should appreciate--

- I appreciate her getting us a present

but I didn't know it would be like that.

- Awww!

- A sandwich of mine, I love your cooking

when you cook like dinners.

Like hot pockets or buffalo wings.

- What's a hot pocket?

- Something like that, not just a sandwich.

- Not just a sandwich.

(laughing)

- [Woman] So you don't want

that peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

- I'll eat it!

(laughing)

- [ Man] Open it up.

You don't want that for Christmas?

- You stinking parents!

Take this back.

- [Man] Take it back where, this is yours?

- I want a refund!

(laughing)

- [Woman] It's a half-eaten sandwich!

- I want a refund. - I want a refund.

- [ Woman] Isn't that what you asked for?

- What'd he get?

- I don't know.

- What'd you say about Santa? - Violent.

- He put me on the naughty list.

- [ Man] Why?

- Because you gave me a stupid Hello Kitty dress.

- Get over it.

- Oh, get over it.

- What a spoiled brat.

- [Woman] Beans, cheese, and a waffle house hat.

What's in there?

Oh you got a Mr. Potato Head

(laughing)

- [Woman] They're from Santa.

- They're not, Santa did not have those things.

I saw you get out of the car in the garage.

Those things were not from Santa Claus!

- Awww.

- [Woman] Are you upset?

- Mmhmm.

- Back to him. - You stupid parents.

I hate you, I hate you all!

- Why's he so dramatic?

- Learnt behavior.

- Yeah, parents watch out.

- [Kid] What, I got ponies?

- [Woman] That was your great grandpa's hammer.

- [Kid] I got ponies?

- [Woman] You guys, what's wrong,

you're not excited about your presents?

- I got ponies, I don't want ponies, they're for girls.

- Girls.

- I think it's better when the presents are really, really

rubbish, like the potato is a better rubbish present

then giving a boy something that's usually a girly present.

- Yeah.

Of course they'll react like that.

- Of course, yeah.

- [Woman] Nessa, what'd you get?

- A cookbook.

- [Woman] Mario, what'd you get?

- I don't know!

- [Woman] It's an invisible fence for your dog.

- It was a dumb joke.

- [Kid] I think it was.

- [Woman] Well Jimmy Kimmel told me to do it.

- [Kid] Well tell him to suck my balls.

(laughing)

- He looks so proud of himself as well.

Oh, that is so good.

- Oh my gosh, that's hilarious.

- I would hope if I ever had a kid,

that they would just be really grateful.

Like there's one where, I don't think it's in that one,

where he gets something like a vegetable and he goes,

thanks and then puts it on the side

and then opens another one.

(laughing)

I wish my kid would react like that.

- That's so funny.

- Or like the Halloween candy

where the kids just sometimes go, oh that's okay,

I didn't need it anyway and you're like--

- Yeah, that's really sweet.

But you know some of them are real drama queens and kings,

like throwing an actual tantrum

and like telling their parents that

they're the worst parents in the world.

- Yeah, you hate them.

- I hate you. - Oh my gosh.

- Oh my God, I hope I wasn't like that as a kid.

- No.

- Was I like that as a kid?

- Was I? - I hope not.

- I was.

- What just throwing a tantrum?

- No there was a video, 'cause my parents

used to like video tape everything.

And there was one we watched back

when I'm probably like three or something,

and I'm like ripping open the presents

and putting it on the side like not even looking

at what they are and then one of them is Maltesers

and I go, I don't like these and then put them on the side.

- Oh really?

- And the camera kind of just pans to my grandad

and he just goes.

- Awww, three years old and knows he doesn't like Maltesers.

- And I don't know what I'm on about 'cause I love Maltesers

so I don't know what, - I actually love them.

- three year old Joel is on about.

- No idea.

But do you know what, buying Christmas presents

is so stressful anyway for parents

and for people that aren't parents.

Like just buying for everyone can be really stressful.

- Yeah, I've been watching this money program

that's on in the U.K. right now,

it's like a live show for an hour

where they've got like a money expert on there,

and he was saying that he's been sort of rallying

against buying Christmas presents that are unnecessary

and like inspiring people to be like,

if you've got a friend or a friend of a friend

or cousins or you know people that aren't immediate family,

that you feel like you've got to buy presents for,

to like be honest with them and be like,

I'm not buying you a Christmas present this year.

Because it's like people spend so much money,

get so stressed out.

- Yeah, like just to be bold enough to have a conversation

with someone and say, hey I know every single year

up until now, we've bought each other Christmas presents,

but I want to let you know

or I'm wondering if it would work for you

if we both didn't buy each other

Christmas presents this year,

just because I feel like we're just doing it

for the sake of doing it.

Those people that are at the bottom of the list,

you get them something because they got you something.

- Yeah and often it isn't anything thought out,

it's something--

- Of equal value

- Yeah, and that isn't very, it's like a box of chocolates

or some alcohol or some like a scarf

or like some thing generic it's not something personal.

- No, never.

You know when you're visiting people at Christmas

and you've got so many, you see so many people.

I think it was me and mum,

we have like emergency presents in the back of the car

but don't have anyone's name on it,

but like emergency, in a bag,

that we, if someone gives us a present,

we're like gosh left yours in the car

and run to the car, get the emergency present

and give them it and it's a generic gift.

- That's amazing you just gave the game away now.

- I know, sorry guys.

(laughing)

- That's so clever.

- But this is what we're talking about.

It's all like unnecessary stuff,

- Unnecessary spending, and that's the thing

if you can afford it, then obviously it's a non-issue.

Especially 'cause right now, we've been,

both of us are trying to like, like on Skillshare,

for example who are sponsoring this video.

You guys know we're working with them

over the last few months, we share with you

what we've been learning and this month we've been learning

about money and money management, like how to just

be efficient and effective and sort of stable

with your money and so that's just reinforced to me.

Doing those Skillshare classes, watching that money program.

And then stuff like this, I'm like actually yeah.

- Yeah, you can just like wake up with your thinking

and like make some changes that can actually

save you and them loads of money.

- Yeah 'cause most people respond to it quite well, I think.

And I've heard from that TV program they're like,

most people that said it to their friends,

their friends are like oh my gosh thanks so much

I feel the exactly the same way,

I just didn't know how to tell you.

I don't want to spend this money.

And everyone's been really good about it.

- That's amazing.

We will share in our description,

the link to the money management classes

that we've been doing and if you want to sign up

to Skillshare, the first 500 people,

the first 500 of our viewers,

get the first month for free and then after that,

you can pay to have a membership that works out

to like less than 10 dollars per month.

- Yeah if you take the annual subscription.
