I like how the doctor gets a few words in before everything goes off the rails. The final 30 seconds he’s just sitting there watching the chaos like the rest of us.
Wow Tom Holland is great
And he looks so mature too!
This is probably my favorite one they ever did. I love the idea a newscaster would devote an entire segment to trying to parent her kid.
plus she threatens to put him in the "silence chest" again !
Classic case of the over-commercialization of Halloween. What do you want to bet that Spencer knows none of the traditional Halloween songs or the importance of making propitiating sacrifices to the dark lord Algol?
had me in the first half
I just had a laughgasm
Exactly. That’s what’s wrong with this country these days. We have all forgotten our core traditional American values.
Smh kids these days don't know the thrill of slicing your first goat's throat and bathing in its blood to show the dark lord you commit your body and soul to him to do as he pleases. Nor the feeling of sleeping terrified for your life because you felt sorry for your dog as he was dismembered and eaten by the village
this comment, it’s perfect
Silence TRUNK?! Man, kids this days are so CODDLED. I was put in a silence DITCH, and I turned out just fine.
My mom threw me right into a silence hole leading to hell. Both of you are pussies
Back when I was a youngin we were shoved in the silence coffin and left in a steam room
my mom would make me sit and watch her TV programs with her if i was naughty, after a TV shows, i started to like Golden Girls, HAHA
@@Sumschmuck Why did you do this?
@@ivanmegafanboy1981 do what?
Lol the silence trunk. Holy crap hahaha.
“There’s no such thing as heroism in real life.” God that was the best!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
caught me off guard lol
"sit down right now or I'll break the rest of your toys on purpose" I'd call that bargaining XD
Kind of implies she's done it "on accident" before😂😂
Wow, I'm not used to having the expert be the straight man, this is a really good sketch!
Gamble a stamp.
how do you know he is straight?
@@arikalamari19 idk if this is a joke but "straight man" is a comedy term that basically refers to the sane person in the scene.
@@absolutelysearchingmyreality idk if this is a joke but "straight man" can also sometimes refer to an adult male human who is heterosexual
@@TheFriendlyGod Idk if this is a joke but "straight man" can also refer to a man who is physically straight
Yes, that is exactly the kind of mother I always envisioned her to be. (They should do this show MORE)
What is my mom doing on the Onion?
Oof
*Oof*
Yiff
Yiff
Wowza
Mom...."do u want me to yell at you before the entire country"
Spencer..... silently sits down.
this one and the "Finding Masculine Halloween Costumes For Your Effeminate Son" are my two go back to vids each year during this time.
what about the 'is halloween over-commercialised' in the know panel video
That one!! 15 years and two kids later I finally have a son who likes to dress up as Elsa. I might have stopped after the first child if not for this sketch. Thank you, Onion!
Who among can honestly say that they liked the silence trunk?
I did, I loved it so much I crawl in there sometimes with my special friends that I meet at the bars and clubs. But they don't like it much...
For legal purposes I'm just kidding.
It taught be valuable lessons, but it also taught me to hate.
AMOUNG US???????
where can you buy one?
“That there’s no such thing as heroism in real life…..” 🤣🤣
"Do you want to be put in the silence trunk again?"
now that's some mothering
Not so fun fact - a child actually died in my home country because of this. The mother is now in jail.
@@paulyou4629 You don't want to be put in the silence trunk, do you?
i think in our hearts we are all spiderman

Am I right or am I right?
Oh shit 4 year old comment uhhhhh... It was an accident...?
Fuck that shit
I went out on Halloween when I was 5 year old as a socially awkward nervous guy with no friends. 37 years year later I'm still wearing that costume.
hi stinkyham, have you become a flat earther yet?
We should really start voting up the comments that don't realize these videos are a joke. They're just too good to be condemned to oblivion by downvotes
jokes on you dislikes dont do shit
Also, how is 2014
@@mysteriouslyseeing They do, you just can’t see them
Did you try showing Spencer "Spiderman 3"?
taputechnic That's child abuse.
leelongvideo Oh shoot, you’re right! Put him in a BabySafe Ball and shake him
While Spider-Man 3 is playing
@@leelongvideo nah mate we loved that movie as kids
Spiderman 3 was good.
Spiderman 3 is a cult classic. Much better than the amazing spiderman series
That poor mom. Her plight is now open to see through the whole world.
It's a fake news report lol. Meant to get some laughs
I know it was a joke in relation to it. The essence being that the kid deserves pity not the mom.

Aah The Onion, despite the laws of thermodynamics you just keep getting better.
What's funnier than entropy?
Aannndddd now thermodynamics have finally taken hold.
This comment aged poorly
But now they’re back!
1:43 Ooh, that's gonna drop you a few places on the overall Mom leaderboard...
How?
@@Sumschmuckidk, but intentionally breaking your kids entire set of toys and then locking them in a trunk for misbehaving doesn't strike me as top tier parenting tbh.
@@nicknamed1267 alright It's been 3 years, what was my original stance?
@@Sumschmuck idk, I figured you were just asking a question lol, not sure if there was a stance, unless it was rhetorical.
@@nicknamed1267 i don't even remember. I don't even watch the onion anymore. Nowadays I'm strictly Babylon bee
I laughed out loud at this video, and I woke up my mom who put me in the silence trunk...
:(
@@77thTromboneYou married his mom?
Are u still in there?
@ yeah
@@inspectorjavert8443 Oh dear. At least you have wifi.
That kid must have had the time of his life filming this lol
Well.... Until he got put into the silence trunk
I have this same problem with my cousins, I found that lighting their costume on fire worked quite well at getting the little shits out of 'em and into some real god damn clothes.
How do you do it? I usually pour gasoline into them and if they manage to take their clothes of, great! If they don't, great!
Man, the host's acting was excellent in this one.
she wasn't acting
I think they got a real child psychologist and didn't tell him what was gonna happen
You know, the silence trunk actually works. I put my son in there 3 days ago and... not a peep.
"The silence trunk" lol brutal.
Still Has On His Costume. Cause Nobody Puts Spencer In A Corner
I love the kid’s middle name (Heathcliff). So cute!
The mom is just feeding into her son's imagination. He's pretending she's a supervillain that must be stopped.
LoL
BTW tamber, have you become a flat earther yet?
Is there anything Tracy can't do?
I hope there are photos of the silence trunk in her biography ...
where was this video when my little brother couldn't go anywhere without his batman mask
Me as a kid! I also rocked a batman suit and went just about everywhere as spidy.
What a sweet mother-son interaction.
"or i will break the rest of your toys on purpose!" that implies that she broke some of them on purpose lmfao
LoL
BTW losifstalin, what do you think about all gubments drawing a line around you and saying you are not allowed to leave?(Antarctic Treaty) If you don't know what I mean, read my about tab.
@@flat-earther i think you should stop with cocaine
@@iosifstalin2501
It's a comedy account!
I think it's brave that the child is deciding for himself his true identity.
Her wanting him to take it off is down right child abuse.
Little shit is not even wearing the mask!!! His logic kinda reminds me of DC executives and creators pretending that glasses can totally conceal your secret identity. Aaaah, zoomanity!
Yet his Dad refuses to remove his lucky Red Sox World Series underwear he's worn since 2004.
I keep trying to tell my son that people only do "nice things" because unconsciously it makes them feel better about themselves so in actuality most good deeds are just self-gratifying acts of narcissism. But the little bastard never listens.
Yeah children just do not understand that there is no such thing as altruism. Naïve happy optimistic little sh*ts that they are.
Well that message doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense
Well, no wonder spencer wants to be Spiderman lol
Why aren't we talking about poor Dr. Kareem and the awkwardness we all know of trying to be invisible while someone poorly disciplines their child?
Ah yes the old time out spot,
The trunk of my mom's car.
Good times.
Back in my day, the silence trunk was called the "Boo Box".
silence trunk wtf😂
That went well.
They should have had a follow-up "How to convince DPS you were only kidding about the silence trunk"
“Do you want me to put you in the Silence trunk again?”
😳
what a sweet and loving mother she is
I'm familiar with the Onion but at first I thought this was real until the subscribe button appeared. I was so blown
I could really go for a refreshing 7up Ten at the moment.
Pulp Fiction had a Silence Trunk.
But the robot suit on my effeminate son is working wonders. He hasn't skipped or pranced around like a fairy in days.
How come I never saw this one? This is gold!
This is a serious matter.
It’s great to see Tracy lose her cool. 😂😂😂
@Need2connect
😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the clarification Xoxoxo
They are the only news source that correctly predicts the news before it happens.
We found the only saine character in the onion universe 😂
maybe he likes Spider-Man so much because Spider-Man's mother is dead
The world needs more heroes. Don't take off the costume Spencer. Never take off the costume. The world needs you. Devote your life to showing the world that with great power comes great responsibility. Never compromise your ideals. Why do we want the kid to compromise his ideals? What kind of villains are we? This is what Hannah Arendt was talking about when she wrote of the banality of evil.
I feel like someone wants to grow up to be a nemesis
Wow that went sideways really fast!!! Kid is a fantastic actor!!!
Just like the good old days of The Onion interview segments. Fucking hilarious.
Instructions unclear, broke neighborhood kid's toys
I haven't watched the union in a long time. I fucking love what they have done with the annotations
“Is it not enough that I told him to take the goddamned thing off?!”
I see that the kid was token away by child protective services.
man, i miss the old onion!!! this was so funny!
Back when they had a budget. Now it’s text to speech crap
Today Now is my favorite morning talk show
how to get your son to remove his halloween costume:
2 words
bullet
"Stubborn little guy"
😂😂😂😍
I always hid a small flashlight & a comic book in my silence trunk.
Silence trunk... ahh the memories.
This is too close to home, I mean prancing around in a Spiderman costumes
I thought The Onion made satirical pieces. This just seems like it's been taken from real life.
they usually say "click the annotation to see blah blah" when there is one
at which point you can just turn them on
*scoffs* let the boy wear his SpiderMan costume FOREVER!
*You’re not even wearing the mask!*
That mom is truly a great arguer. She poked holes all though her son's counter-arguments with ruthless efficiency!
It's not a mask it's a helmet
Jaxon Killam dude Spider-Man totally wears a mask. Iron man wears a helmet.
I am not Jackson I am Tony Stark idiot in Spiderman wears a helmet not a mask
It takes off the spidey costume or else it gets the trunk again.
This is pretty much how i pictured her as a mom now what kind of dad would the guy be? And what would his kid(s) be like?
What's more entertaining than an Onion video? People in comments letting others know that it is fake. After over 5 years of them.
This is how Ruby Franke first got started...
Also fumny when you take the parenting advice onion sketch into consideration
This has been my life for the past 3 years, I was hoping to get some real tips on what to do
finally a good parenting vid
I'm sure he'll take it off after his grandfather's funeral.
I remember doing this with my spider man costume when i was a little kid to.
Not the silence truck, never again.
Yall this was me when I was like five. I refused to go to the pool unless I had my dinosaur costume on.
hi skylarfoxy, have you become a flat earther yet?
Nope@@flat-earther
@@skylarfoxy6908 okay. BTW skylarfoxy, what do you think about all gubments drawing a line around you and saying you are not allowed to leave?(Antarctic Treaty) If you don't know what I mean, read my about tab.
today is the 9th anniversary of this video
hi qpol, have you become a flat earther yet?
So that's where my mom learned about the silence trunk!!
She should of called doctor strange hes good at bargains
Hmm... something tells me she never wanted advice in the first place (I know this is the onion).
The sad this is that this isn't that far from the truth.. in fact, probably a lot more PC than reality haha
NO....NOT THE SILENCE TRUNK!!!!!!ANYTHING BUT THAT!
This mom isnt even an exaggeration of some parents I see in public! Some people just sholdn't reproduce :P
"Hi mom!" LOL
lol the silence trunk
