The slapping gives it a nice rhythm you just can't help click your fingers to.

I don't get it.

I wish I didn't find that funny, but there is something about the way the slaps start to speed up towards the end that gets me.

For the record, I'd be the first to admit I'm a knob.

Perhaps this one will tickle you too.

To be fair, it was a good solid slap.

TISH!

Nice. 8-)

I laughed. It's the silly accent, the slap and the fact that once you realise it's repeating you know the slap's coming round again. I couldn't help but chortle.

Now I feel bad.

EDIT: Just watched it again and I couldn't stop laughing. Considering the subject matter, surely they road tested it before they put it out?

Not really, not in a "omg abuse isn't funny" kind of way but in a "I have much funnier abuse videos" kind of way.

It was the slap and the way it cycled at a faster speed as it went on.

I'm sorry. :cry:

It's not funny at all. Maybe you laugh when you're nervous?

I found the constant slapping to be really disturbing, quite honestly.

Worthless little cow!

*slap*

Warp warp warp warp.. wob wob wob.. nyang nyang nyang na-na-na-na

I'm sure Rusko has allready done a remix.

Just replace the "strawberry floating little mug" in Bread Get Bun with "Worthless little cow"!

Imagine it hear folks:

Well I laughed, probably because the title encouraged me too. I don't know how I'd react if I saw it for myself - probably still laugh. :lol:

Well, I would have thought the vast majority of people wouldn't actually find it remotely funny.

I despair that so many on here think child abuse is a laughing matter. Says a lot about how desensitised a lot of us are, I reckon.

This

Not funny at all, but I find it quite jarring and irritating.

Barnado's is a great charity though.

I'd usually find that sort of thing funny but that actually disturbed me a bit. The "I dont no wot it sez" bit raised a smile which was quickly erased by her jacking up.

Not funny at all

I didn't find it particularly humorous. Disturbing, if anything. If the advert intends to surprise, it certainly achieves.

No one is actually laughing at child abuse. Just the absurdity (word?) of the advert. I'm sure there are better ways of conveying their message than do make a tune of slapping a child across the head.
