(screams)
- [Man] I'm not the only person who knocked down the wall?
Ah ha!
(screams)
(laughs)
- [Woman] Kayla, she's out of bounds!
(screaming)
(rock'n'roll music)
- Hey everyone!
- What's up, everybody?
- We are the Davises.
- Yes, we are.
- And we are in our ball pit today.
- It's pourin' all over the ground now (laughs).
- Yeah, we're gonna play Monkey on the Ground.
And if you guys haven't heard of that game,
it's a really old-fashioned game.
Basically we have various pieces of furniture
or items that we can stay on top of.
And the person that's in the ball pit,
on the ground, is blind.
So they have to try and tag one of us
that are jumping around on top of the furniture.
And we can jump down in the balls,
but if we do, then the person who's it,
gets to call out, "Monkey on the Ground,"
and the person becomes it automatically.
Otherwise, the person who's it,
if they tag one of the other people,
then one of those people will become the new it.
Well, we're the monkeys and then there's the it.
- There's the it.
- And then did you say that
if you call Monkey on the Ground
and no one's on the ground three times
then you have to pick from the disaster bag.
- Yes, final rule,
so no one abuses calling Monkey on the Ground--
- Monkey on the Ground!
- They call it three times
and it could help give 'em a clue as to where you are,
and if you aren't on the ground
and they do it three times,
then they get to pick out of a bag of surprises,
which can be good or bad.
Mostly bad (laughs).
- Mostly bad?
- Yes, could be very bad.
We have all these random items in the ball pit
that we can stand on.
- Has all this stuff been weight-rated,
'cause, you know--
- [Woman] I think there's no weight rate for you.
- I've been on a diet
but it doesn't really seem to matter as much.
- [Woman] I put water inside the chest
because it was rolling around,
so hopefully that's enough.
And it looks like Sean's still crushing the lid.
- [Sean] I'm crushing the lid.
- Hey guys, hopefully you guys can see us.
Tyler's gonna be the first it.
- [Tyler] I'm gonna be, where's my balloon?
- We're going to jump around and find random spots
so he doesn't know where we are.
- [Sean] Super chunky funky monkey, bam!
You're goin'.
(playful music)
(trampoline rattling)
(Sean falling)
(laughs)
- [Woman] I don't think our box
is gonna make it much longer with Sean in here.
(laughs)
- You invited me to play.
- [Tyler] Dad was right here (laughs).
(balls moving)
- Ah, you got me!
- [Dad] Oh, you got it.
- [Woman] So Tyler didn't use any of his
Monkey on the Grounds.
He didn't want to get stuck having to
pick out of the yuck bag.
- [Dad] The yuck bag?
Is that what you're trying to-- (laughs).
I thought it was a surprise bag.
- [Woman] So now I get to be it
and I am deaf in one ear
so this is gonna be a super hard challenge for me.
- [Tyler] Just stay on her left side.
Ready!
Mom, I'm over here.
Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom.
- [Mom] Oh!
Monkey on the Ground!
- Nope.
(balls moving)
[Mom] I don't know where I am.
Ah, I'm just sliding.
I'm gonna end up on my hands and feet here in a minute.
Okay, here's the trampoline.
I'm not moving fast enough, am I?
I hear somebody.
Am I getting nothing?
What is this?
- [Tyler] A chair.
- I don't know where I'm facing even.
Okay, trampoline.
Wow, you guys are fast
'cause I feel like I'm kinda jammin' through here
and I can't find you.
Ah!
(laughs)
That's not nice.
This is too hard, I can't do it.
- You are so far away from catching anybody
it's not even, it's almost sad.
Oh!
- Ah, ha ha!
- [Dad] I was even talking in your deaf ear.
I don't believe you're really deaf.
- That's my good ear.
- [Dad] Oh, that's your good ear?
- I feel dizzy all sudden.
- [Dad] I was on the wrong side.
- Ah!
- Tyler pushed me off of this chair
'cause he wanted to get on it so he pushed me off.
(laughs)
And so I dragged him down with me
and then every time we got near each other,
we'd just push each other off (laughs).
- That's funny.
I think that you have to kind of stop and listen
for a second, because when I'm traveling through the balls,
I can't tell if somebody else is also in the balls.
That's how you get away with it.
- [Dad] So, it's my turn I guess?
- Yeah.
- [Dad] You get the camera back.
- You're it!
- Super funky chunky monkey baby, let's do this.
(balls moving)
- Monkey on the Ground!
(screams)
(laughs)
- [Mom] That's not for you, Kayla, she's outta bounds.
(laughs)
- [Dad] I think I hit my ankle--
Oh, am I, I'm not the only person
who knocked down the wall?
Ah-ha!
There's other klutzes in this family besides me.
- [Mom] That box might be turned out before this is over.
(laughs)
(screams)
- Monkey on the Ground, Monkey on the Ground!
- Ahh!
- [Dad] Did I get her?
- [Mom] Yeah, two of us were on the ground.
So it was not me.
- Oh, I got two monkeys!
(laughs)
I got two monkeys, I got two monkeys!
- I fell 'cause I started screaming so I panicked.
I just collapsed.
(laughs)
- You should just possum, like lay on the ground.
Maybe he'll go away.
- (laughs) He started walling me in.
I was like, "Ah!"
- [Mom] Well, I've already been it's so your turn to be it.
- Yay!
- [Mom] You gotta put on your blinders
before we pick our spots.
- [Kayla] Hang on.
- [Mom] Don't guess right away.
- Funky chunky monkey theme-ger!
- [Kayla] Yes.
Monkey on the Ground!
- Nope!
(screams)
- [Kayla] Monkey on the Ground!
- Nope!
- [Mom] Oh, you're gonna get something bad!
She's gotta a do it one more time.
- I can't believe I spoke (laughs).
I gave up my position.
- Oh, chair.
Monkey on the ground!
- Ha ha!
Oh, Kayla!
(screams)
- [Mom] You gotta get something bad.
(Kayla cries)
- [Dad] Hold onto that bear, it'll make it so much better.
- [Mom] Totally forgot about all that, huh?
- [Kalya] No, I remembered,
I just actually thought that time
because he started running.
Monkey sounded like running.
- [Tyler] I was, you were just too late.
- Ah, ah, ah!
- [Mom] Okay, do you want me to reach in
or do you want to reach in?
- I wanna reach in!
- [Dad] She should do it blindfolded.
- [Mom] Okay, but you can't look.
You don't have to do it blindfolded,
you can just close your eyes.
That way we know.
No hand over eyes, I wanna make sure.
Let's look at her eyes.
Okay, she's picking in the bag.
- [Kayla] Where is it?
This is all right, maybe.
Grits?
- [Mom] And they're dry.
So what does it look like?
So put it in your mouth like a cup of water.
- No!
- [Mom] Yes.
- [Dad] It's grits, grits are good.
- [Kayla] Can I do like that much?
- [Dad] Yeah, go ahead.
- [Mom] Okay.
I wanna know what they taste like.
- [Dad] They taste like mash potatoes.
- [Mom] Yeah, mash potatoes?
- Pretty much.
- This is butter flavor.
- [Dad] Yeah, butter flavor mash potatoes, mmm.
Good right?
- [Kayla] Ah!
(laughs)
- [Mom] You're messy.
- [Tyler] Oh, Kayla's the first one to get gritty!
(laughs) Get it?
- [Dad] You got some grit, girl.
- [Both Dad And Mom] You're still it.
- [Dad] Go girl.
- [Mom] Just 'cause you got punished
doesn't get you out of it.
- [Tyler] So she could get punished again?
- [Mom] Maybe.
(laughs)
- [Dad] I hope you got that
'cause that'll be awesome in slow motion.
So smooth (laughs).
- [Tyler] Funky chunky monkey dunky.
- [Kayla] Okay.
(trampoline rattles)
- Monkey on the Ground!
- [Tyler] Nope.
(screams)
- [Mom] You gotta be more on top of that.
(balls rattling)
- Monkey on the Ground!
(everyone laughs)
- [Mom] Finally!
- I was pretty sure you were going to be so afraid to say it
that I was like, "Okay, I'll just walk around here."
- Dad's it.
- I'm it.
Super funky chunky monkey!
- [Kayla] You don't get to call it, do you?
- What?
- [Tyler] Monkey chunky.
- Ahh!
(laughs)
- [Mom] I don't know, I just thought it was too late for me.
That was way too fast.
- I totally was ready to move on
until you started screaming.
(laughs)
- Darn it!
- All you have to do is get close to Mom
and it's over.
- So is everybody in position?
- [Both Tyler And Kayla] Yep.
- [Kayla] Secret funky chunky monkey.
(balls rustling)
- [Mom] Monkey on the Ground!
- [Tyler] No!
- I'm like stuck somewhere.
I don't know what corner I'm in.
(laughs)
- [Dad] Get in your corner!
- I'm stuck.
What is so funny?
- [Tyler] You're doing like magic over here.
- Yes!
This is what I do in the dark
when I'm afraid a door's gonna hit me.
I'm like this.
Monkey on the Ground!
- [Dad] Oh yeah, you got him.
You got him.
- No.
- [Dad] Oh yeah. - Yay!
Man, I thought I was gonna have to eat something bad.
- [Kayla] Super funky monkey chunky.
- Monkey on the Ground!
- [Kayla] Nope.
(balls rustling)
- Monkey on the Ground!
(screams)
- I fell, I'm it again!
- [Dad] I almost fell.
- I'm gonna get rug burn.
- [Dad] How many more rounds we got?
- I don't know.
We're gonna get crazy here.
I'm gonna get you in one second.
Ten seconds.
You guys ready?
- Yep, super chunky funky monkey.
(everyone laughs)

- [Mom] No.
- Mom, you can't tell him!
- Where's Kayla, where's Kayla?
Kayla stop!
(screams)
(laughs)
- Kayla's it!
- Tell them about that lesson.
- Super chunky funky monkey!
- Ow!
(laughs)

(laughs)
Oh man.

She was like, "Ow, ow."
Super funky chunky monkey.
Monkey on the Ground!
- Nope.
Monkey on the Ground!
- [Kayla] Yeah!

- Again, I haven't been it in forever, man.
Actually, wait, I lied, I just got it.

- Super funky chunky monkey.
I heard her over here.
Monkey on the Ground!
- [Mom] Nope.
- Monkey on the Ground!
- [Mom] Nope.
- I can't tell if that's me or you guys.
- [Dad] I'm pretty sure that was you.
- Okay.
(balls rustling)
Monkey on the Ground.
- Oh!
That was three.
- What?
- [Mom] Three, we psyched you out!
- Tyler, you were like right there.
I was like--
(laughs)
- [Mom] All right, no looking.
He gets to pick out of the surprise bag.
- [Dad] Go for the sardines, dude.
Those are the best.
- [Mom] Oysters!
- [Dad] Oysters!
- [Mom] Ah! Classic.
Yum!
- [Dad] Don't make a mess.
It's gonna be runnin' all over the place.
- [Mom] Sorry.
- [Dad] Eww!
- [Mom] Ew, that looks so yummy.
- [Kayla] I'm glad I got grits.
Why would you go for the--
- [Dad] Just plow through it.
They're not that bad, right?
- [Mom] That's the first time he's tried oysters.
- They taste pretty bad now.
The aftertaste, oh my God.
- [Mom] You love it!
(laughs)
- [Dad] I guess that one was pretty bad (laughs).
Right into a corner and crawl into a hole.
He's in a ball now.
- You guys ready?
Hello?
(balls rustling)
Monkey!
(laughs)
- I thought I was gonna get away with it!
(laughs)
- You were over here
and you waved like this with your arm
and I just, I went like this,
and then you turned around and walked away.
- I think that was fun.
Everybody fell at least one time.
- Uh, yeah, probably, yeah. - Yes, I did.
- [Tyler] I have.
- I don't recall.
I probably broke almost all the things in here.
- We need new kitchen furniture (laughs).
- My tailbone still hurts.
- If you don't injure yourself making a YouTube video,
you're not a true YouTuber.
- Yes.
