  • The blond kid got this look on his face after a while, like, "Is this guy stupid or something?"

  • Funny how this is limited to children and adults rather ignore each other than to help.

  • @Careohx that's bullshit. if you were in a closed environment like this, of course an adult would help

  • Thought 4:59 was the beginning to a scene in Saw

  • My cat can do that but he just too apathetic

  • The baby shares it with the man right after learning the fact that the man needs help. The chimpanzee sniffed it and only gave if he found no personal interests in the item himself. Proves that sharing is what makes us human. BRING BACK MEGAUPLOAD :D

  • look at these perfect little Aryan children
