Keri brought this video to my attention yesterday on the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage. And I wondered… is it possible to have a caption contest for a video? Let's give it a shot.
What are the twin boys below arguing about? Is one accusing the other of sock theft? Or denying him admittance into the freezer? Or perhaps they're reenacting a scene from Curb Your Enthusiam. That's Susie Essman on the left, obviously.
Watch the video and give your best guess in the comment section below.
Amanda, our current caption contest queen, will be the judge. Winner will be announced on Friday and they will not only win the honor of judging the next caption contest, they will also be the proud owner of two new twin boys! I have to check with their parents first, but they look like a handful so I'm guessing I can get her to give away at least one of them.
Good luck!
UPDATE: I must say, you guys brought your "A" game to this video caption contest. Granted, it didn't turn out to be that unique of an idea. There are now videos with subtitles circulating all over the place. The funniest I've seen was brought to my attention by Jenny and it's called "Twin Babies Talk About the Bronx Zoo Cobra" on Buzzfeed.
I thought you guys were equally as funny. I'm not going to repost every good response, you can read them all in the comment section below. Here are brief synopsises of my favorites…
KLP thought they were debating the acting chops of Robert DeNiro vs. Al Pacino.
Suburan Snaps thought they were arguing over the merits of the new Karate Kid franchise vs. the original.
Windycitygigi thought they were discussing diaper jeans. (Gotta love a shout-out to a previous post.)
PJBDC thought they were arguing over their restaurant theme on Toddler Top Chef.
And Nic from My Bottles Up went all meta on us and claimed they were making fun of Matt and Meredith for showing their video on The Today Show.
Since there were so many amazing entries, I decided to award two runner-ups in addition to the winner.
Second runner-up goes to New Mom On The Blog with a scene I call— "Juice Box Intervention".
First runner-up goes to Heidi from Madame Paradox with her Monty Python/Shakespearean manuscript which inludes phrases like— "Only a rapscallion would care not for the sock of humanity" and “Speak not sir whilst I flay you with a fudgesicle!”
But there can only be one Caption Contest Queen and that honor was awarded by Amanda, winner of the last caption contest. Amanda crowned Dana from Feast After Famine. No description can possibly do Dana's entry justice. You are just going to have to scroll down and read it for yourself.
Congratulations, Dana! Feel free to wear the crown below proudly on your blog. But there is no obligation. After all, who am I to demand anything of the Queen? (Get ready to judge the next one!)
Vinny: I’m telling you. Mya pasta isa betta than your pasta.
Valentino: no Imma telling you that mya pasta isa better than your pasta
Vinny: Well your momma has a moustache
Valentino: we have the same momma
Vinny and Valentino: hahaha!
I firmly believe they are re-enacting a scene from “Dude! Where’s My Car?”.
This felt like watching a “the Hills” episode after a couple of glasses of wine.
How long before Dadda gives up and we let him out of the freezer ?
I’m pretty sure they are collaborating some dance moves for the next britney spears video.. don’t be suprised if she is wearing a diaper and one sock.
“I’ll give you my two mismatched socks for your one sock.” “No, I’ll give you my one sock for your two mismatched socks”. “HAHAHAHA! You’ve got to be joking.”
Boy 1: “This is what we call a premium refrigerator.”
Boy 2: “I’ll give you $100 for it”.
Boy 1: “Are you kidding? This is top of the line!”
Boy 2: “Ok, I’ll throw in a travel set of wipes and a Barney video”.
Boy 1: “I hate Barney!”
Boy 2: “Me too!”
Both: “HAHAHA!”
Boy 1: “Come back when you have a serious offer”.
“Spaghetti arms! This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don’t go into yours, you don’t go into mine. You gotta hold the frame.”
BOY 1: This is so great!
BOY 2: Totes great.
BOY 1: More Christmas.
BOY 2: 50% more Christmas!
BOY 1: And better birthday parties
BOY 2: 50% more elaborate birthday parties!
BOY 1: I love you, brother
BOY 2: Greatest. Decision. Ever, TWIN brother.
Oops. I forgot to set up that they killed their triplet.
SO obviously a team challenge on toddler Top Chef…I suspect they’re debating the no shirts, no shoes, fine service concept for their pop-up restaurant before opening the mystery freezer drawer to discover which protein they’ll be featuring.
“this is THE BEST that the Today Show can come up with?!”
“i know!!! hahahahaha!!!! idiots!!!”
“no no no, they’ve entirely disregarded actually reporting on anything… ”
(together) “AND THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT US TALKING!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
My dad called earlier to tell me this was on The Today Show this morning. Our mornings are more Elmo’s World and Flying Fairy School focused. Which at this point, is giving me just as much insight into current events as Mr. Lauer and Mrs. Vieira.
(well done)
“In their day, Pacino was a much better actor than DeNiro.”
“Oh, that is a load of crap. Have you even seen Raging Bull?”
“Overrated. Dog Day Afternoon blew Raging Bull out of the water.”
“Well Travis Bickle kicked Serpico’s ass!”
“Meet the Fockers. ‘Nuff said.”
Boy on the left: “What’s up with your foot? Where’s your sock?”
Boy on the right: “It’s in the freezer, man. Help me get it out.”
Boy on the left: “In the freezer? Brotha, you’re full of shit.”
Boy on the right: “Straight up. I watched Mom put the laundry away and she put my clothes in here.”
Boy on the left: “You’re crazy.”
Boy on the right: LAUGHS “No! SHE’S crazy! She put the groceries in the bathroom and the dry cleaning on the back porch. Woman needs some sleep but you’re up all night crying like a baby.”
Boy on the left: “Can’t help if I get hungry. Boy’s gotta eat.”
Boy on the right: LAUGHS “You need to give her a break. Did you see her hair today? See what she’s wearing? She hasn’t changed out of those yoga pants in days and she hasn’t put a toothbrush near her mouth in a week.
“Look around the place, it’s a mess!”
Boy on the left: “Whatever. You’re no angel yourself; all the time with the blow outs. And right after she gets you dressed. Every. Single. Time. She puts clean clothes on you and you poop all over them. You see the dirty clothes piles around here. It’s all your stuff.
Boy on the right: LAUGHS “Just help me open the freezer.”
Boy on the left: “No way. No how. You see this hand? You’re gonna get one of these on the bottom if you so much as touch that. She’s gonna eat you alive.”
Boy on the right: “Man, I gotta. We got a play date later with the Olsen twins and, well, you’ve seen them. They’re hot! I can’t show up with just one sock. They’ll think I’m nuts.”
Boy on the left: “If the shoe fits”
Boy on the right: LAUGHS “Not without a sock! Just help me.”
Boy on the left: “What’s in it for me?”
Boy on the right: “There’s chocolate ice cream in there. Lots of it. I hear her eating it when we’re supposed to be sleeping.”
Boy on the left: “I can’t do it. She got on my case the other day about eating the dog’s food and sitting in the water bowl. It’s too big a risk. You’re on your own.”
Boy on the right: TRIES TO CLIMB INTO THE FREEZER
Boy on the left: “It’s your funeral, man.”
my husband and i were pretty pissed this morning when we saw it… well, maybe not pissed, more like disgusted. they were talking about it within the first 30 minutes of the show and multiple times after that and i couldn’t help but wonder WTF, ya know? matt and meredith kept going back and forth (like these two babies) saying “i think they’re talking to each other” and “well no, i think they’re mimicking each other.”
THEY’RE FRICKIN BABIES!!!! THIS IS MORNING NEWS!!!!
ok, yeah, i was pissed.
“Steve…wait. Don’t.”
“Don’t WHAT, Simon?”
“I mean…are you sure you need another one? Isn’t that like your fourth or fifth juice box today?”
“You don’t know me.” (laughs uncomfortably)
“No, seriously. This isn’t funny. I mean, look at yourself. You didn’t even bother getting dressed today. Yeah, see? You’re only wearing one sock.”
“Oh, like you’ve never had a drink before.”
“I’m not saying I’ve never had a drink. I have. But I know when to say when. We’ve been talking about this on the playground. I really think you need to seek some help.”
(Steve goes to open the fridge again.)
“I’m serious, Steve. Think about what this is doing to your family. To OUR relationship. We never even talk anymore.”
(Steve laughs)
“This is not a laughing matter, Steve. I think you have a real problem and I want you to know I’m here to help. I am NOT going to watch you do this to yourself anymore and I mean it.”
“Don’t pretend you care about me.”
“But, I do, Steve. We all do.”
Although I don’t speak toddler, I have gathered that they are discussing how to torture their mom and dad. Note the kicks by #2 and the slapping of the air. I am guessing it went something like this
#1 I can’t believe that you just kicked daddy in the groin like that!
#2 That’s right! Just like this! (lifts leg)
#1 And you didn’t even get in trouble! Watch me later when I bitch slap mom, just like this! (waves hand)
#2 Ha Ha Ha! Its open season!!!
there needs to be a “LIKE” button for this one.
Like.
These comments are almost as good as the video…
OMG that is some hilarious stuff.
Baby 1: Moussa Koussa. Moussa Koussa. Moussa Koussa!!!!!
Baby 2: Seriously? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Baby 2: Waka Flocka. Waka Flocka. Waka Flocka!!!!!!
Baby 1: Seriously? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Rinse Repeat until mom shoves paci’s in mouths.
I actually think they’re mocking one or both of the parents. If you listen carefully, the one who does most of the talking keeps repeating the same thing, with a similar inflection ( a bit of upspeak, actually). The other twin is amused. Occasionally, he gives his own interpretation. But it’s the first one’s show. Fascinating stuff.
They are clearly discussing the merits of Karate Kid the original vs. Karate Kid the remake.
I almost don’t want to read the other comments. This is *that* good.
Diaper jeans. They are discussing diaper jeans.
Good lord. My mother called me when this was on so I could have baby Byron watch it. Of course, it was over by the time I got the tv turned on. So this is a thing our parents will do now? Tell us to watch something on TV that we’ve already seen on the internet?
I am happy to add nothing to this sad state of affairs.
Although, I can point you to an insightful article on Salon.com about how network news embarrasses themselves by talking about viral videos:
http://bit.ly/e3odAz
*GASP* It all makes sense now.
I was going to try, but this whole juice-box thing is way too good, and now I can’t come up with anything. (I love the “You don’t know me,” followed by an uncomfortable laugh.)
LOL
LOL!
I’ve got nothing this time, I don’t think. The number of times I would have to watch that video in order to get it “just right” – I’m not sure I’m gonna have time this week. But I LOVE this video!
Have you seen this?

Here’s my take on it:
Boy #1 – “Alright, we are going to settle this once and for all. The best way to rip ass is when you lift your leg up.”
Boy #2 – “No, no, no. Abviously the best way is to bend over. It allows for greater force and volume.”
Boy #1 – “You are an idoit. Lifting the leg gives direction. Just think about that.”
Boy #2 – “Wait, I think I know what you are saying. We can aim our hiney pipes at someone … perhaps the lady with the knockers?”
Boy #1 – “Now you are catching on. You might just fit in after all.”
“Sir.”
“Sir.”
“You are absent a sock, sir.”
“I see no sock.”
“Exactly my point, sir. You have sullied your sock. And when you sully that sock, you are pooping in the diaper of the sock of humanity.”
“What should I care for the sock of humanity?”
“Only a rapscallion would care not for the sock of humanity.”
“Indeed.”
“We must abide by the code of honor then as men do.”
“A paste licker like you challenges the likes of me to a duel?”
“Choose your weapon, Play-doh eater. My reputation demands it.”
“Palms, sir. Palms at dawn.”
“Dawn? What is dawn for men who cannot tell time?”
“Point taken. Be that as it may, the palm is the weapon of choice.”
“Ha! Your palm has no power here.”
“Look deep into its sticky surface, sir. For this palm has explored the very depths of my diaper.”
“Unclean scoundrel. You think my palm has not seen its share of birthday cake, strained carrots and crumbled Cheerios?”
“Ha! Mere child’s play.”
“Fool. I do not accept your terms.”
“We shall choose then from the many weapons found in this freezer.”
“Bad Form. Most despicable sir. Fie! Fie on the freezer!”
“Speak not sir whilst I flay you with a fudgesicle!”
“Perhaps a beating with Birdseye Broccoli is more to your liking?”
“Nothing but stems in those bags, sir. You dishonor me further.”
“Lay out your parameters then man. Who shall stand as referee? The whisk? The stuffed mouse thingy by the oven?”
“Let me remind you sir our reputations are at stake.”
“Fine, the weary lass eating thin mints in the corner will do.”
“It is decided and agreed upon then. On this date, thirty-one March, in the year of our lord, two thousand and eleven, a battle to the death or until naptime shall commence. Fishsticks! Fishsticks at dawn!”
A Word of god is interpreted so that you can rationalise these malignant tactics when, such as, captivity, a slaughter with criminals with showdown, a sadistic murders with gals regarded witches, investment penalties to get many hundreds criminal acts, polygamy, plus harshness so that you can family pets. Remember that it is familiar with stimulate thinking while in the grossest superstition and then to discourage a absolutely free helping with research realities. Have to forever keep in mind this either fine plus malignant pass with the Word of god. It is therefore never previously criticism.
