As a kindergarten teacher I can confirm, This does not harm the baby, they may, in fact, enjoy it. (Their parents however might be a different matter.)

[–]Sierus 33 points34 points ago

If you can lift an adult by the leg I'd be worried.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

I've... seen things. Things you wouldn't believe.

[–]cmotdibbler 3 points4 points ago

Off the shoulder of Orion?

[–]puttyguy 3 points4 points ago

C-beams near Tannhäuser Gate?

[–]ecto1ajon 0 points1 point ago

Time to die.

[–]impshial 1 point2 points ago

This is tear.

You forgot me.

Hey.

I'm in the rain.

And lost in time.

Hey.

[–]honeybadger88 1 point2 points ago

My boyfriend lifted me by one leg off our couch once (without giving me prior warning). I think we were equally surprised.

[–]DrunkMc 5 points6 points ago

My brother did this to his like 1.5 year old daughter and I got so scared I thought her head would fall off, she just hung there laughing her ass off!

[–]Railz 2 points3 points ago

Humans are primates, this pretty much how they handled their toddlers (re: not new borns)

[–]suddenly_ponies 2 points3 points ago

As a parent, I also confirm. These can be very cringe-worthy, but he managed to look disgusted with the kid while very carefully not harming him in any way.

Ha, another classic Winger.

Jeff really Britta'd that time...

[–]quackdamnyou 25 points26 points ago

Kids love that kind of thing.

[–]BlueFamily 14 points15 points ago

I run around the house with both my kids like this... they indeed LOVE it, unless I go through a door with my arms too far apart.

[–]revolvingdoor 30 points31 points ago

My wife gets so mad when I do this, I'm like, I've dropped him enough to know what I did wrong, it probably won't happen again.

[–]BlueFamily 6 points7 points ago

I also like to chuck them as high into the air as I can and catch them... only 1 close call so far

[–]souldonkey 4 points5 points ago

Ceiling fans amiright?

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 0 points1 point ago

Sssssht

[–]trinitysite 16 points17 points ago

What is this from?! I need to see it.

[–]MartyFromNC 4 points5 points ago

Diablo Cody does a Youtube interview show called "Red Band Trailer". This is one that she did last year with Joel McHale. Very much worth the watch.

[–]Diirge 29 points30 points ago

[–]pomegranati 0 points1 point ago

what song is that at the end with the guitar and piano?

[–]yawner80 9 points10 points ago

I was thinking that was a realistic looking doll or something but the source clears that right up. Real baby passed by the leg.

[–]BlueFamily 11 points12 points ago

What parent HASN'T done this

[–]FenrirIII 2 points3 points ago

They're apparently very resilient.

[–]Nurfy 0 points1 point ago

Jesus, thought you were kidding.

[–]epel 2 points3 points ago

Thank you for this!

[–]lemony_snicket 4 points5 points ago

That tattoo on her leg is driving me wild.

[–]lemony_snicket 1 point2 points ago

I can't look at this till I get off work in an hour, but i'm already going to extend my gratitude looking at the link title.

[–]ImADouchebag -1 points0 points ago

That was really boring. Yet I watched it all, what's wrong with me?

[–]Salzberger 11 points12 points ago

I fucking hate pushy parents who insist you hold their baby. I'll look at it for a minute, but only out of politeness, and even that is pushing it.

[–]vitaminmary 1 point2 points ago

As a parent, I would rather not hand my child over to people. That's the hardest part of having a baby, all these people think it's their right to hold the thing. Back off, this is my special little snowflake :)

[–]Salzberger 4 points5 points ago

I wish you were my friend. We could have lunch together and i could acknowledge your baby from a safe distance with a polite smile. Without my wife of course as she would want to hold that snowflake big time.

[–]leadbunnies 4 points5 points ago

Well sheltering him from germs is not going to help the immune system develop....

[–]sweetright 1 point2 points ago

Plus, I wouldn't want someone who is uncomfortable holding my child.. to hold my child.

[–]obscurePythonquote 1 point2 points ago

When my second child was born I'd hand him off to anyone who wanted to hold him. They always gave him back damn it.

[–]coldcupofjoe 6 points7 points ago

My wife gives me that same look when I pass our son to her that way.

[–]TheMooner 5 points6 points ago

Yeah...you can have this back now.

[–]rokkitgurl 5 points6 points ago

Quick, post this in /r/childfree

[–]jorchison 2 points3 points ago

This is what happens whenever I'm asked to hold a baby. I have no idea what I'm doing.

[–]geneticswag 2 points3 points ago

Can't tell if you're receiving the child or giving it back.

[–]junkyardking[S] 1 point2 points ago

I saw it as giving it back, since I've done this with a few of my friends' children. They usually don't call me for a few weeks after, even though the kids laugh their stupid heads off.

[–]Diirge 2 points3 points ago

Joel Mchale and Diablo Cody

[–]micoolnamasi 1 point2 points ago

That baby has one fantastic made up name, Inspector Maroon 5. I think she should have gone with Inspector Spacetime to create a Community joke.

[–]jamesmhall 1 point2 points ago

This is how I hand my 2yo son to friends of mine as well.

[–]charlatan74 0 points1 point ago

I used to feel the same. Keep in mind, once you have children (unless you don't) you are going to have to eat a lot of your words (as i have). It all changes when it's yours. Not kidding.

[–]Gutterville 0 points1 point ago

People with younger siblings know how to hold kids

[–]Misaiato 0 points1 point ago

I do that to my daughter all the time. What's the problem. She laughs her ass off.

[–]diegoami -1 points0 points ago

I was expecting some pedobear reference....

I am disappointed.

[–]CargoCulture 1 point2 points ago

If you reverse the GIF, it looks like Joel McHale thinks Diablo Cody is a bad parent.

[–]Evian_Drinker 0 points1 point ago

Hell, i hold my own child like that. She loves it and i enjoy the looks of indignation from old ladies.

[–]SaltFrog 1 point2 points ago

Oh Joel... I'm going to marry you one day.... Even if it's in my basement and you're in chains...

[–]Bo_Peep 0 points1 point ago

He is tres sexy. Mmm.

[–]miniskirtninja 1 point2 points ago

I work with newborns and I feel like this everyday, people will hand me their 12 hour old baby with total confidence and I'll just be like "oh jeebus what do I do with this thing? You hold infants by head right? Yeah that sounds good..."

[–]STIGSTNG 1 point2 points ago

When the woman places the baby on her lap, can anybody see something small falling out of the baby's left pant leg? i cant tell what it is.

[–]rizwan_k 3 points4 points ago

The baby was gnawing on various fruit throughout the video, it's probably bits of the banana that he was attempting to eat but failing at.

[–]Salzberger 3 points4 points ago

A lung.

[–]Evilmaze 2 points3 points ago

I sent it to the lab and they conformed that this is the murder weapon. "Looks like we got our killer".
