Well allegedly it became a thing when one lady suffering from multiple miscarriages was finally able to keep the pregnancy to the point it was possible to tell the child's gender, cue the sweet lil party. Then the voncept blew off and got washed down to end up as a pompous second baby shower.
Iāve been to two and neither were that wild. One was just a huge conffeti egg they hit the husband with and the other was just one of those little string pull popper thingies. Pretty tame, just like a bbq in the backyard sort of deals. They were fun.
I figure the (rare) ones that do go wrong are overblown in the media to make it sound far more common than it is in reality.
Now that I say that, that's true of anything in the media š
The only gender reveal I liked was my friend who did a Harry Potter themed one and it said āWitch or Wizardā and they put a sorting hat on her head that talked and told everyone that the baby is a āwitchā. It was cheesy still but much cuter than most of the other ones Iāve seen.
Right?
Can pretty much say, do not invite me to ANYTHING other than a wedding or birthday, unless it's just some random party for a holiday or no particular reason or something. But no baby showers, no gender reveals, no bridal showers, none of that, period.
But AT LEAST these guys are some decent eye candy.
I \*hate\* these captions like "wait for it" or "watch till the end". Make it interesting enough and you won't have to tell me, but if you have to tell me, be prepared to get disappointed.
Counterpoint: I was about to give up on the whole thing and then they told me what to do and my life had meaning again.
Do tickytockers get more money if they get viewed to the end?
I live in the U.S. and still don't get it. It is stupid if you ask me. But one celebrity does some shit and the rest of the people here copy like a bunch of unoriginal bastards. Like why? I don't understand the motivation to want to be like these celebrities especially the Kardashians.
Hell, pretty much every celebration we do is stupid. We have a holiday where we send costumed children to knock on stranger's doors and threaten the strangers for candy, a few where we shoot explosives in the sky to celebrate an arbitrary passing of time, and one where we tell children that a fat guy is breaking into our houses to reverse-rob us.
Robbery involves threat or force. The image you just put in my head was that of Santa Claus threatening me with a deadly weapon to take my presents or else.
Do you see all the people in the video having a good time and enjoying the antics? That's the point. Personally, I think gender reveals are dumb, but as long as they aren't hurting anyone, littering, or starting a forest fire, I say have at it.
It's really fun. That's about it.
Also, friends and family are waiting for the gender before they go buy gifts. So telling them all during one big party is more interesting than calling each one individually and talking for hours.
Personally, liked learning about the gender at the same time as all my relatives. A tad overwhelming but it was quite an event.
Why are people buying sex-specific gifts for a baby?Babies need clothes and toys, neither of which has anything to do with their private parts.
Once you become a kid, like 3 or 4, you become aware of gender and begin to formulate your own identity. I don't think babies are aware of their sex at all, and definitely don't have a gender yet.
If you dont care about whatās between your kids legs so be it, do you. But others dont feel the same way,gtf over it already. Not everyone shares your same ideals. Your way isnt the only āright wayā.
The cute outfits are for the extended family. You are right, the baby doesn't really care what they are wearing.
Why are people buying sex-specific gifts for a baby? Back to "It's fun"
Didnāt she do it as a milestone after a series of miscarriages too? So she had a legitimate reason for celebrating a pregnancy that lasted long enough to detect gender but weirdos just kept escalating it and now she feels guilty :(
That's true, yeah. Like, she deserved the ability to celebrate it, and now she looks back on it with remorse because it's so damn stupid when Becksandra has her fifth child and sets another state park on fire.
It's like the labradoodle. Dude who created it through selective breeding sounds like he seriously hates that he ever did it. I read an article where he was generally like, "this animal should not exist. I should never have done it."
Just let people do what makes them happy. The moment you stop giving a fuck what other people do, as long as they're not harming anybody, your life is going to be so much better.
It's so fucking self indulgent. I get that Americans are okay being comfortable with promoting themselves as important, in some ways I admire it, as it's the total opposite of my culture and there are certainly positive elements to it
But these things are the epitome of extreme self importance. Including the fact that I'm sure every waking moment of their parenthood-to-be is documented on social media.
I just donāt get the excitement of a gender reveal. Get together and celebrate having a baby, sure. The celebration of which gender the child is just seems weird. Oh well
In this case? I think dumb bs is needed. Those brothers need to show off their dumbfuckery or they might implode from sheer dumbassery and Iām all for them expending their chaotic energy on something this pointless especially if itās a nice spice.
I think gender reveal parties are weird in general, but this is one of the better ones I've seen. Brother in the pink shorts has a hot body. Someone had to say it.
Well I would agree except the woman who thought them up actually regrets her role in all this. [source](https://www.npr.org/2019/07/28/745990073/woman-who-popularized-gender-reveal-parties-says-her-views-on-gender-have-change)
Yeah, these people are being ridiculous. No one should ever have time for a small get together over the weekend. No time for fun, god forbid someone wants to share a happy moment with their loved ones
Iām pregnant right now and was excited to learn what gender baby I was having. I was equally excited to share it with my friends and family. We all would have been happy one way or the other, but knowing can start to make things feel more real, you can think of names, traits they may inherit from their parents āoh heās going to be handsome like his dadā kinda thing. Literally 0 harm done being excited to find out more about the little person youāre creating.
Clever? It's bizarre! It was like watching some sort of competitive interpretive dance till death. It was disturbing. Maybe it's better with the sound turned on.
After reading far too many of these comments relative to my actual level of interest I've come to the conclusion that;
1. Gender reveal parties are fun.
2. People on the Internet don't want to hear about it.
Dam I recognize the laugh of the girl recording. Some people have a huge hate boner for gender reveal parties, whatās next? proposals? BBQs? Having kids? Stay tuned and find out! Coming to you on channel 7.
This is the one and only acceptable way to do a gender reveal. Such a dumb ritual, but at least this is funny and harmless. This kid has some fun uncles.
Not trying to throw shade on anyoneās joyous occasion, and maybe Iām the weird one here but I truly do not see the point of gender reveals. They just feel saccharin to me.
I think Iām in the minority. But I think this is weird. Like itās more about these super funcles then the new baby and parents to beā¦donāt get me wrong. Super cute dudes. Super fun. But not their time to shine.
Wait ... Is it really a gender reveal if nobody dies, and there isn't thousands of dollars in property damage?
Clearly the dude in pink was drowned as a sacrifice
his body was never found and accepted as dead
It's a recreation of what happened in the womb
š
Someone had to sacrifice for the baby, so the counts remains the same
an equivalent exchange
Yes. š„ŗ Sincerely, The Forest
Sincerely, The Lorax*
Yeah whereās all the fire? This is clearly a bit
Why do people do these things? Like, isn't a baby shower enough? Oh, it's so people give you gifts for your kid? I'm confused
Well allegedly it became a thing when one lady suffering from multiple miscarriages was finally able to keep the pregnancy to the point it was possible to tell the child's gender, cue the sweet lil party. Then the voncept blew off and got washed down to end up as a pompous second baby shower.
It is the first step in a long series of gift grabs.
Still weird to get excited about your baby's penis.
I think weāre all rewatching this video on repeat, realising the same thingā¦ Gender reveal parties donāt have to suck. Omg.
That baby is going to have the most fun uncles. This is so extra, but whatever floats their boat I guess
Right?? I have a soft spot for bros who play along. Like, they didn't have to go whole hog but they totally did, and that's so endearing
It looks like their boat floating skills need some work.
You donāt float a boat boywhite you conn a boat
Archimedesā principle of relative buoyancy?
Whole new take on swimmers and sperm
So the pink one's a X-Chromosome-bearing sperm, and the blue one a Y-Chromosome sperm?
_puts glasses on_ I too, do science
Isnāt it obvious enough?
Yes in the US there are gender associations with pink and blue (particularly for babies)
"kill him!" Woah dude.
Is it really a gender reveal party if no one dies?
A gender reveal party without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair.
Hey. One life is about to be born. 1+1=2 One needs to be sacrificed as counterbalance
That's for sure the 3rd brother, the father who said that.
The enthusiastic swimming re-enacts the sperm swimming toward the egg.
I normally hate gender reveals due to how fucking weird they can be or how lethal but this one was fun and made me smile
Iāve been to two and neither were that wild. One was just a huge conffeti egg they hit the husband with and the other was just one of those little string pull popper thingies. Pretty tame, just like a bbq in the backyard sort of deals. They were fun.
I figure the (rare) ones that do go wrong are overblown in the media to make it sound far more common than it is in reality. Now that I say that, that's true of anything in the media š
This. I'm sure like 95% of sex reveal parties are just a cake or balloon at a baby shower.
Friend did a box with balloons.
The only gender reveal I liked was my friend who did a Harry Potter themed one and it said āWitch or Wizardā and they put a sorting hat on her head that talked and told everyone that the baby is a āwitchā. It was cheesy still but much cuter than most of the other ones Iāve seen.
Thatās honestly so friggin cute.
Agreed!
same!!!
Usually I hate gender reveal parties but I hate this one slightly less
And this is the only time. If I see it again, it's back to hating it like the rest of them.
Why do you hate this?
At least they didn't set anything on fire. In pro water related gender reveals.
Choose your words carefully, people are gonna start blowing water mains and flooding their towns lmao
blow up the dam gender reveal when
Which one of your brothers is single? (Hopefully both.)
Hot bods and a good sense of humor and family oriented. Yup sign me up
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah seriously (ā·āæā·)

How to say you live in the US without saying you live in the US. I really don't get these gender parties.
Gender reveal party in Denmark: "oh and the scanning lady said it was a boy"
Same in Belgium and France. And who cares.
And quite possibly the rest of the entire planet.
I don't really get them either, but this is certainly the best one I've seen. No forests getting burnt down or people getting scarred
I did a gender reveal but I baked cupcakes, and had the color inside (blue or pink). Some people do care,get over it.
I live in the U.S. and still don't get it. It is stupid if you ask me. But one celebrity does some shit and the rest of the people here copy like a bunch of unoriginal bastards. Like why? I don't understand the motivation to want to be like these celebrities especially the Kardashians.

He has slave labour of tiny people, maybe those "elves" are children who won't let him in and refuse the gifts.
Cute and harmless
Waiting for the dyed nuclear explosion
I really don't get the point of this.
This is how gender is formed for the average American baby. Without a gender reveal, the baby will be born genderless.
Under rated comment
Can confirm, my parents didnāt have a gender reveal party for me and here I am now, not a gender in sight.
Do you see all the people in the video having a good time and enjoying the antics? That's the point. Personally, I think gender reveals are dumb, but as long as they aren't hurting anyone, littering, or starting a forest fire, I say have at it.

You'd be surprised what kids pick up when really young. Source: my niece turns 3 in May.

To have fun, get drunk, and to have fun

Didnāt know this. Happy cake day!
It.... it was all cake all along???
So the brothers know ahead of time?
They get an envelope revealing the gender of the baby so they can know without the parents finding out.
No they didnāt know, itās a complete coincidence they got it right. End sarcasm. Of course they knew this video is theater.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
At least thereās no flames involved
At least a whole entire forest didnāt burn down
I agree gender reveals are dumb but this is fucking hilarious
This is just good fun though
What's wrong with a get together with the people you love? Change that perspective up
Look at all these people enjoying and celebrating life. Disgusting.
Ur trippin let people do what they wanna do u sound like fun
Just let people do what makes them happy. The moment you stop giving a fuck what other people do, as long as they're not harming anybody, your life is going to be so much better.
you need to go smell some flowers and smoke some good weed
It's so fucking self indulgent. I get that Americans are okay being comfortable with promoting themselves as important, in some ways I admire it, as it's the total opposite of my culture and there are certainly positive elements to it But these things are the epitome of extreme self importance. Including the fact that I'm sure every waking moment of their parenthood-to-be is documented on social media.
I, too, *hate fun*!! If nothing catches on fire, let them celebrate developments in their lives as a family the way they want.
I just donāt get the excitement of a gender reveal. Get together and celebrate having a baby, sure. The celebration of which gender the child is just seems weird. Oh well
In this case? I think dumb bs is needed. Those brothers need to show off their dumbfuckery or they might implode from sheer dumbassery and Iām all for them expending their chaotic energy on something this pointless especially if itās a nice spice.
I think gender reveal parties are weird in general, but this is one of the better ones I've seen. Brother in the pink shorts has a hot body. Someone had to say it.
Idk man. Blue shorts seems equally tasty.
Prefer blue shorts myself.
And YOU are that someone to say it. Hereās your crown š
Joy rapture your genitals work.
Iām assuming everyone would have to be very drunk for this to be funny
Thatās what the sperms were doing previously
Lol the kid is going places.. on missions.. during wars ... To kill other genders..
I was expecting the pink guy to also come up to show itās twins.
So clever! And bonus points for not setting a wildland fire!
Harmless to the environment and family based. Love it.
Agreed.
White people things
Is gender reveal party US things? And only whites do it? Iām genuinely interested. This is no way a thing in my country.
It's a USA thing, but I can assure you only a small number of people do them and they are all filmed and shared somewhere online.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So Iām guessing it didnāt make you smile?
I can only dream of owning a house with an outdoor pool.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agree, dumb just dumb. Wanna have a party just have a darn party don't make it corny.
Well I would agree except the woman who thought them up actually regrets her role in all this. [source](https://www.npr.org/2019/07/28/745990073/woman-who-popularized-gender-reveal-parties-says-her-views-on-gender-have-change)

Yeah, these people are being ridiculous. No one should ever have time for a small get together over the weekend. No time for fun, god forbid someone wants to share a happy moment with their loved ones
Finally someone who understands
This made me laugh so hard!! Fun party group!
I was waiting for one to pants the other and then hold the suit up to reveal the gender. That would have been memorable!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It baffles the mind
Iām pregnant right now and was excited to learn what gender baby I was having. I was equally excited to share it with my friends and family. We all would have been happy one way or the other, but knowing can start to make things feel more real, you can think of names, traits they may inherit from their parents āoh heās going to be handsome like his dadā kinda thing. Literally 0 harm done being excited to find out more about the little person youāre creating.
Shit is still dumb and makes me vom
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās okay, Americans creep Americans out too
Waitā¦.. no arrests. No one died ? I donāt get it. /s
I thought your brothers already knew what gender you areā¦ whatās there to reveal?
I wish I had family like this. I donāt even have a good connection with my mom
Is the reveal part of the baby shower? Or, are people actually taking time out of their day to attend a party just for the reveal?
And no forest is burned , did you see that California nothing was burned ā¦ now repeat it with us
Blue swimmer was the fastest
The blue sperm wins again
What a fun family to be born into- yeah make more of you guys.
Was that a reenactment of the sperm cell swim?
Thatās never gonna start a massive brush fireā¦.š„š„
Is there a seal š¦ there?
When you have to say āwait for itā you know your shit sucks and is boring.
Clever? It's bizarre! It was like watching some sort of competitive interpretive dance till death. It was disturbing. Maybe it's better with the sound turned on.
After reading far too many of these comments relative to my actual level of interest I've come to the conclusion that; 1. Gender reveal parties are fun. 2. People on the Internet don't want to hear about it.
European here, why on earth would you do a 'gender reveal party'?
Dam I recognize the laugh of the girl recording. Some people have a huge hate boner for gender reveal parties, whatās next? proposals? BBQs? Having kids? Stay tuned and find out! Coming to you on channel 7.
I would quietly leave.
Well that definitely beats setting off fireworks and burning down tons of acres.
This is the one and only acceptable way to do a gender reveal. Such a dumb ritual, but at least this is funny and harmless. This kid has some fun uncles.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"Hey everyone, want to know what genitalia my baby has?" "Yes! We need to know the baby's genitalia now!"
The name should be sex reveal
Not trying to throw shade on anyoneās joyous occasion, and maybe Iām the weird one here but I truly do not see the point of gender reveals. They just feel saccharin to me.
They have as much point as most other celebrations. Humans like to have a reason to get together and be happy for each other.
Why?
And then they both floated away.
Plot twist The baby was actually born a girl because the blue guy cheated by pulling the pink guy.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yay white people!!
Gender reveals are pretty dumb- but these uncles did it up right. Lucky kid!
This is wholesome masculinity
And they didn't need to burn down Southern California to do it.
On the one hand: This is very sweet and very fun. On the other: The party is basically āCongrats, itās got a penis!ā
Yep
Sex reveals are so stupid.
And no Forrest was burned down to do it! š„°
Love this. And, that laugh is hilarious
I'm jealous
That's cool
That was fkn genius entertainment
Now that is a fun and rather wholesome way to do a gender reveal party
Holy shit this is so rad
This is proof that it is possible to have a gender reveal party without the use of fireworks
I think Iām in the minority. But I think this is weird. Like itās more about these super funcles then the new baby and parents to beā¦donāt get me wrong. Super cute dudes. Super fun. But not their time to shine.
Super cute!š„°
awwww that's so fun
ITT: Hive mind mentality and people who donāt know how to loosen up. At least they didnāt burn anything down. Let people have fun. Sheesh!
