This Kid Getting Caked Started a Hilarious Villain Origin Thread on Twitter

We've all suffered the ignominy of having ourselves slathered with our own birthday cake; we've also done the same to others. But this video of a little kid being caked is an altogether different level. So much so that the tweeple are convinced that this is how most villain stories start.

Villain origin story

You really, really have to feel for that kid. It isn't just the entire cake being destroyed and smeared on to various parts of him. It is also a pail full of what appears to be eggs and other unidentifiable stuff being poured on to him.

Plotting revenge

Villain origin stories are the flavour of cinema right now – where we see the backstory of trauma or humiliation or suffering that resulted in the villain becoming the villain.

Joker reference

If this kid grows up to be the Joker, he’ll be like "I put a bomb in EVERY cake and egg in every Grocery store in Gotham Batman. You've already lost"

In ten years

John Wick was all about getting revenge on the men who wronged him. Maybe that is this kid in ten years.

Poor kid!

The little kid didn’t stand a chance --- he was just inundated.

More villain origin stories

That seems to be Rocket Raccoon, so maybe not a villain then.

Overkill

There are many who believe that people should get caked on their birthdays. Even they thought this was too much.

Such trauma!

Such a little kid!

To the rescue

Some felt great sympathy for the poor little kid.

Some…

…Offered him cake.

Thanos

The original mighty villain apologising here!

Whaaat!

Bad enough they go and waste a whole cake – but wasting a whole lot of eggs as well is unpardonable.

Villain backstories

They go back a long, long way.

When that kid grows up

He’s going to be mean and he’s going to want revenge.

He's going to find them

He will hunt them down

Actually sad

Many commentators noticed that the kid was trying to cut his cake even as those miscreants destroyed it. Some heard crying. Many saw child abuse.

Stop!

Some couldn’t bear to watch!

Next year

Next birthday, this kid is going to be like this: taking no chances.

Bottom line

A lot of commentators thought that this wasn’t funny at all. Such an experience could impact a child’s psyche and may give them the idea that such bullying is OK. No kid should grow up thinking bullying is OK.
