Elections can be a tense time for family members, especially when different generations have differing political views.

But one young man has been able to see the lighter side of things, recording a video of him disagreeing with his mother that has turned them both into online sensations.

Kenny Okwara was talking to his mom ChiChi about his intention not to vote in the upcoming election when she began to get riled up in the most hilarious way - and so he turned on his camera.

Lots of love: Kenny Okwara and his mother ChiChi have gained online fame after he recorded her yelling at him for suggesting he wasn't going to vote

Making her point: The video sees ChiChi getting riled up as she tells her son that if he doesn't vote for Hillary Clinton 'there is going to be a little problem in this house'

The video begins with ChiChi looking as if she is about to leave the house with her coat on and a headphone in her ear.

She tells her son: 'When you circle the vote, take a picture. I have to see who you voted for. If you don't vote for Hillary Clinton...'

At that, Kenny lets out a laugh, but his mom points at him and declares: 'No for real I’m serious.'

When he asks what the consequence would be, she reveals: 'There is going to be a little problem in this house. I will seize your phone, I will seize your car.'

Kenny erupts into cackling laughter before trying to egg on his mother further.

Big time: ChiChi tells her son that she will 'seize' his phone and his car if he doesn't vote Democrat in the election

Hitting back: When Kenny says he doesn't want to vote for either Hillary or Donald Trump, ChiChi takes a shot at 'stupid' Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson

Going big: The video quickly went viral on Twitter, even grabbing the attention of actors like Henry Winkler

'For real?' he says. 'I'm not voting for Trump, I'm not voting for Hillary...'

Assuming that Kenny means that he is voting for a third party candidate, ChiChi rages at him, taking aim at Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

‘Don’t vote for the stupid man who doesn’t even know that there's Aleppo!' she yells, pointing her finger. 'That there's a Syria war going on.'

'Isn't there a "no vote" option?' asks Kenny.

'No! You are so stupid! You have to carry out your civic duties of being an American,' yells his mother while Kenny laughs at her. 'Don't act like a moron!'

She also suggests that if he were to tell people he wasn't going to vote, they would think he was 'a moron' and 'on drugs'.
