Kids are hilarious. They’re helpless, miniature people. They walk through the first few years of life completely oblivious to everything around them. They have no idea of how the world works, or, better yet, how to make the world work for them. The questions are endless, the whining constant, and the crying seemingly neverending. Why this? Why that? Why don’t you shut the hell up?

But for all of their helplessness and annoyances and 2 a.m. feedings, kids have one thing going for them: they’re funny. Actually, no. Kids aren’t funny, they’re hilarious. Maybe it’s the fact that they don’t know any better, or because they have no shame. Perhaps it’s the lack of a filter, or maybe it’s just because their spirit has yet to be crushed by this cruel, cruel world of ours. Regardless of the reason, children are absolutely hysterical. Case in point: this little guy.

Clocking in at only 16 seconds, watch this kid run head first into a metal pole and literally bounce backwards…down a slide. It just might be the funniest thing you’ve ever seen. Videos like this are what make life so beautiful.
