00:07
Lol, I love how the daughter tries to hold the cabinet so it doesn't fall on her dad

[kendelion]

the kids danced so hard it rocked the house!

[PhillipAllenShio]

I love how at 0:24 that dude just sits on the couch and watches his friend get fuckin' destroyed by a treadmill for like 10 seconds and does nothing about it. Hahaha

[Charliethebeagle]

Guy on treadmill is my favorite the instruction before use:)

[ThatSoddingGamer]

I don't see how the kid in the last video can really be faulted for that.  Sure, maybe his footwork (or the music he might have been playing at the time) caused enough vibrations for it to fall, but if that's all it took it was just a matter of time before it fell anyway.

[ordanoath]

1:00 HE'S A WITCH!!! If you slow it down he flicks his hand at the fireplace then it falls!

[allisonfoster]

whose idea was it to jump on a glass coffee table ??

[laurenbi]

0:52 You're dancing on a glass table, wtf did you expect...

[alexaw]

when all you wanted to do is tape yourself ACTUALLY BEING A GOOD DANCER FOR ONCE AND YOUR FIREPLACE IS LIKE NOPE

[frank-mxib]

1:03 he should be glad he got that on camera so the parents dont blame him.

[shiddah]

At least the boy in the last one can show his parents that he didnt do it

[luzholguin]

That little boy can dance WAYYY better than me..

[Metanoxa]

For the last one I laughed at that so hard XD

[jadeo]

The guy who was running on the treadmill made me laugh really hard.That was just funny xD That must've been a cheap treadmill if it just fell apart like that.

[AppleSpicerGames]

Lol the last one. Kid went in frog alert mode!

[IIMetalMaskII]

their enthusiastic attempts at performing radical activities which ends in failure brings me an overwhelming sense of enjoyment

[Coffeechipmunk]

I think that last one was just chance, I think it was just  going to collapse sometime.

[juneconnellsahin]

I died of laughter at 1:00 lol. Hes just like: "whaaaa??? I didnt do it!'

[monicalala]

Why would you stand on a GLASS table, just wow
