Funny Video: The funniest parody of 'Jon and Kate' and '17 Kids and Counting' you'll see all day


  Yeah, it's not a very interesting picture.  But the video more than makes up for it.

Back in the day, I spent I-dunno-how-many words mocking Jon and Kate + 8, the TLC reality show that made pimping out your kids for obscene amounts of money cool again.  Ah, those were the days.  Of course, since then Jon and Kate + 8 has been replaced by the equally repulsive 17 Kids and Counting, so you can still get your "How can I exploit my children for money?" fix on TLC if you're still into that sorta thing (thanks, TLC!).  The video below is perhaps the finest parody I've seen yet for these shows.  Called "Kid Farm!", it contains some pretty not-safe-for-work language, so don't go clicking the "Play" button if you're at work.  But for the rest of you (or for when you get home and send the kids off to play with their camera crew), you can check out "Kid Farm!" for yourselves below, my gentle Examiner readers...

Oh, man, do I miss having the opportunity to make fun of Jon and Kate Gosselin every ten minutes here at the Comedy Examiner's Office.  Last year, we ran a whole series of articles mocking the show relentlessly, and it led to some of the finest hate mail that I've ever received.  Even though that show's been canceled, TLC now airs 17 Kids and Counting, an equally deplorable show that exploits even more unaware children than Jon and Kate + 8 ever did (feel free to use that as a pull-quote for the DVD's, TLC)!  The video below mocks these shows in a glorious way, but don't click the "Play" button if you're at work, near children, or offended by profanity and an endless stream of innuendos:

Kid Farm from FrontPage Films on Vimeo.

That clip was put together by director Oren Brimer, who I'd like to see get a TV deal immediately.  You can check out further offerings from FrontPage Films at the link below the video.  While we're on the topic: is there anyone out there still hoping that Jon and Kate Gosselin get a second chance at a TV show?  Seems like that was all anyone was talking about last year, but these days all seems quiet around Gosselin manor.  There was a time when Kate Gosselin getting a haircut was leading news, remember that?  These days, she'd have to get hit by a runaway dump-truck filled with broken down washing machines and used broccoli to get a mention on TMZ.  You know, maybe I'll pitch that to TLC as a series: Kate Gosselin Gets Run Over By Things

    Where have you been, Examiner?
    Not only is Kate BACK on TLC now with her own show "Kate+8", they're grooming her for her new fall show (she'll be traveling around the country giving advice and seeing how other people live) and there are rumors that she'll be the next Batchelorette. OMG - this woman will NEVER go away.
    But I must admit - I'd be in the front row if she had her own dating show. It'd be like a free ticket to a bullfight.
