"So it's real...so it's fake!...so it's real!" repeat 20 times. "YOU'VE BROKEN

Super great videos! They're so entertaining!

[epicvoiceguy]

And it'll get an animated series and a sequel.

Two years later and I’m still perplexed as to how this was nominated for an Oscar and Your Name wasn’t

[talisa]

Well actually boss baby is quite realistic because all it is is a 7 year old trying to make his baby brother more interesting

Who's gonna be traumatized by this in 15 years?

*A BREAKDOWN OF "THE BOSS BABY" MOVIE:*  
Step 1: Establish how creative and imaginative Tim is. (REAL) 

Step 2: His parents put the idea of a baby brother in his head. (REAL) 

Step 3: The majority of the movie is about Tim imagining about what it would be like to have a baby brother. (FANTASY) 

Step 4: Tim wakes up and meets his new sibling, Theodore Lindsey, for the first time at the end of the movie. (REAL) 

Step 5: Introduce Tim’s daughter and establish that she too has an overactive imagination, fueled by her father’s story. (REAL/FANTASY)

Conclusion: Most of the movie is just the daydreams of a seven year old and should not be taken literally or seriously. It’s all just harmless and creative fun! 

Disclaimer: This is how I as a filmmaker personally dissect the plot! I am not 100% sure if this is what the scriptwriter had in mind, but this is how I read it. You are more than welcome to point out flaws in my theory.

I like to think that the whole movie was a dream after the parents ask their kid if he wants a baby brother. After the whole journey, then the real delivery happens with Tim having a newfound positive perspective on having a sibling. Then Tim's daughter carries the same kind of wild imagination which should explain why her baby sister also wears a suit at birth, after Tim tells the story to her.

[SweeteaDove]

This made me realize that this whole movie, might just be a 7 year old trying to play with his brother while his parents are at work ;-;

[aidanrogers]

4:24 Their clones are very impressive, they must be very proud.

[Grimlock]

Sounds like they were super high when they made this movie.

[CoronaVirus-kdgv]

I've always thought that Tim had imagined it from the first time his parents came home with the baby and the real things that happened, happened only after he gets a normal baby brother.

[benabramowitz]

I hope the alternate title is “Codename: Babies Next Door.”

EDIT: Aww, so close. But speaking of which, I feel like C:KND has enough material for an Honest Trailer.

Say "Some days you're the kid with the stick, some days you're the pinata."

[thefruitbucket]

*"I'M SCARY POPPINS, YALL!"*

[KOTYAR]

Say "I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to"

[battleupsaber]

You guys should have put the title in ALL CAPS, with "BEST FUNNIEST SCENES COMPILATION", as well as a red circle and arrow in the thumbnail. That way you'd easily get 10 million views.

[scottscroggins]

you guys missed alot of stuff, they basically got high when they did the pacifiers and if you listen carefully the kid actually tells the boss baby how babies "are made'

[xaxcpx]

Please say, "I asked Alexa a question in a dead language and she opened the gates to HELL!"

[fegav]

Please say: "We all float down here, You'll float too"

[KarmasAB]

This movie is either incredibly dumb or absolutely brilliant and I kind of love that it's impossible to tell XD
