- Hello, I'm Niki.
- And we're with a--
- Small human.
- [Voiceover] Ta-da!
- And we're with a baby today,
and this is Jax.
- Who's that?
So, this video is just about how awkward
we are around children.
- And I think everyone can relate to scenario,
family situations, when one's thrust upon you, or?
(baby cooing)
(Niki making baby sounds) So we all find ourselves
in certain situations when it comes to
looking after babies, or being around them.
(baby crying) Like when you're at
a family event, and one is put into
your possession, you don't quite know
what to do with it. (baby crying)
- Kind of like situations like this,
take it, take it, take it!
Babies are kind of awkward (Sammy making baby talk)
because, when you're in a situation like this,
what do you do? (baby crying)
Hold my hand, love me.
(baby wailing) - Take him, take him, oh!
That was our attempt, including our baby cousin
in the video, it didn't work.
- He was happy about the scenario
before we started filming.
- He's just gone to eat.
- Hopefully you guys, like, can empathize
with this slightly?
- Just let us know in the comments
if you've done anything more awkward,
or if you've found yourself in similar situations.
- Okay, so the first thing I want to mention
is that there's some sort of natural ability
that people should have when it comes to babies
that I don't have.
For example, when a parent hands you a child
that is of, like, this size, and they're like,
"Oh, it's natural, you can hold him,
don't worry about dropping him, you won't."
- By saying "it's natural," it's like they're saying
it's an instinct, and if you therefore fail
at holding the baby, and it cries instantly,
you're a failure of a human being.
I'm not saying I've dropped a baby,
but I'm not saying I'm capable
of holding them well, either.
- Oh, he's so nice!
- Oh, I just love him.
(baby crying)
- You're shown the baby, and expected
to communicate with it.
How do you do that?
How do you communicate?
Do you do what I do, and go, "boo poo do dee do,
there's a little bobaloo"?
- Oh, what's going on?
Upside down, right way up.
Upside down.
No, it stops flying. - You're terrifying him.
- There's also the judgement of the parents
if you're not capable of looking after their child.
- It's this look, they'll say, "here's the baby."
- Honestly, if someone gave me a baby,
and then disappeared, I'd be completely fine
looking after that child.
It's just when it starts crying.
- Need I stock the footage in now?
(baby crying)
- I've broken a baby!
- Agh, he's so angry!
- Oh, he's coming, he's coming.
Like, obviously, they've not adapted
to the social constraints of our civilization just yet.
- Etiquette.
- Eh, yeah, however, there are some things
they should know not to do,
like breastfeeding off of you, regardless
of whether or not you have mammary glands or not.
- This one time, I was holding a baby,
and it turned in towards my chest
and tried to find my nipple to suck off of.
That sounded wrong.
The worst situation, though, I must say,
is that they cry.
- And if the parents aren't with you,
but they're in the proximity of you,
so they've not seen the initiation of the crying,
they think that you've somehow damaged their child.
Their offspring has been hurt by you in some way.
- Pinched it, I might know.
- I looked after it, I might have accidentally, like,
because babies do weird things with their legs.
Like, babies, like, a contortionist,
and they put it behind their head and stuff,
(Sammy laughing)
and you're like, you passed me a baby,
and suddenly his leg is wrapped around his neck,
and I'm like-- - I picked Jax up,
his leg was like, eh!
And I was like, "Oh, it looks so comfortable!"
If you could let us know in the comments
if you've ever been in an awkward situation
for baby, if you've been the one awkward,
or the baby has, and also comment
some baby names down below
that you think my child should be called.
- Also, one thing I want to know in the comments,
I mean, I've given you enough things to say already,
but which one of us was more capable
looking after Jax?
- Clearly not you.
Did you see what happened when you passed over?
- A couple of things to recap.
I can't communicate with small human beings.
I make babies cry and I don't know why yet.
- [Sammy] We filmed a video last week
with the cast of MazeRunner, what, what, what?
And you all seem to have forgot
that we existed, and focused on one person,
and one person only.
- [Niki] Thomas Sangster.
- [Sammy] I uploaded a solo video,
and all the comments seem to be positive.
You all seemed to agree where I was coming from.
I discussed being an introvert,
and one person was neither.
They said they get their energy from sugar.
- [Niki] So do I.
- [Sammy] StrangeSocks, you aren't that strange.
You're just socks.
GirlBeauty said that she thought she had a best friend once,
but they didn't share any glue with her.
Don't worry, I'm in the same boat.
But I still have friends, so--
- [Niki] You can't have any glue.
- [Sammy] Don't share your glue.
- If you've enjoyed today's video,
make sure to give it a like, and
comment below your awkward situations
and we'll see you again on
whenever this goes up, bye!
- PS, no babies were harmed in the filming of this video.
- But they cried a lot.
- Oh, no, no, don't do that.
- Hold it, hold it. - He was fine.
- Does he need to burp?
Does he need a burp (laughing), I don't?
He's dribbling on me, isn't he?
- Yeah, lots. (baby crying)
Hey, what's going, wait, give him to me.
He likes me more. (Sammy shushing)
- A family party, everyone's sort of there,
extended family, like aunts, second cousins,
I mean, who are they?
And, it's the sort of environment where
all of your life choices are questioned.
