That’s something that gets me with people doing this, there’s freaking candles that can stab somebody in their eye good Lord, this is such a ridiculous thing to do to people.
I saw a post years ago about a girl who nearly lost an eye because someone slammed her head into the cake, it had 4 wooden rods inside the cake to provide structural support, one of them went right into her eye.
Since then I've always hated the "prank" or "tradition" of slamming someone's face into their cake, you have *no fucking idea* what's in that cake unless you made it yourself (and people who do it while there's still candles are fucking idiots), even then you're still risking hurting the person just from impact. It's stupid.
If the cake was made for purpose and everyone is fine with it then go nuts, have a blast, but don't just slam someone's head into a cake you didn't make yourself or that still has candles on it.
Yeah it was rough, luckily she was fine and I think it was her who made the posts and took the pictures from hospital (not 100% on that, vague memory), but it could have killed her very easily and near cost her her sight.
Definitely one that stuck with me though.
So I had a look around and as far as I can tell, no, but there's a whole load of similar cases that pop up when searching for the original story.
You'd think full grown adults would have learned this lesson by now.
Anyone ever see that video of a bride and groom about to cut their cake when some asshole comes up, sticks his hand in the cake, and tries to mush it into the bride’s face and nearly gets it all over her dress. Oh yeah he almost pushed her into the knife the groom was holding but the groom was fast enough to move it away from her face right before she turned and backed into it.
Btw the groom decked that asshole in the face and it was so satisfying.
But yeah that’s the kind of thing I think of when I see these people. Like what kind of asshole are you that you need to ruin someone’s cake and good time just so you can get some attention and try to be the funny guy.
I've not seen that one but if I was put in the same circumstances and some absolute spatula tried that, I don't think I'd have stopped at punching him once, or ever, holy shit that is *fucked*, who does that?
No, if it's a cute little boop on the nose (I've seen those videos where the bride blobs cream on the groom's nose, or vice versa, everyone is smiling and laughing and it's adorable) or whatever that's totally fine, I'm honestly fine with other people rubbing cake on each other *if everyone involved is fine with it*, but personally I'm absolutely not fine with it and if the gods exist they better have mercy on the poor sod who tries it on my kids because I won't.
Yup. It's assault if it isn't something that's entirely 100% expected. Had it happen at a friend's birthday party like a decade ago, friend was upset, everybody pretty much told the dude who did it to leave or we were gonna beat his ass. I guess he just assumed that, since nobody else was doing it, clearly it was his responsibility to ruin a cake and nearly shank somebody with a candle.
Absolutely, and if it is expected, then I'd expect the person doing it to make the cake themselves and ensure it is completely free of anything potentially harmful.
Yeah understandable response to be honest, here's hoping he learned a lesson.
The problem is that most folks who do dumb things like this are also the kind of dumb that doesn't think things through before doing dumb stuff like this. If still doing things like this at an adult age they're also the kind of people who have had at least one time when their bad decisions hurt someone, but they didn't view it as a big enough deal to learn or change their ways. So, I view adults who do things like this as mentally disabled underdeveloped children who must be kept away from hazards like unprotected power outlets. And they're procreating, just like the intro to Idiocracy predicted....
It's a ridiculous thing period, a cake is quite a bit of work, nobody gets to eat it so the anticipation is left hanging in the air and it's supposed to be a happy day for the person who gets pranked.
Am I correct is seeing that this cake has two candles located EXACTLY where a perfectly smooshed face would have had it's eyes land?
If she placed those candles and cake....
"Lost at least one eye" is a kinda funny sentence in an elsewise detailed accident description. Also given that losing one eye vs loosing both eyes makes a huge difference to the accident victim
Though its sort of accurate. Trauma to an eye is extremely serious, as the immune system is "blind" to the eyes and doesn't get involved as any inflammation and immune system responses in the eye will permanently damage the sensitive tissues.
Trauma can break the barrier and allow blood with the immune system in.
So its likely he lost at least one and the other is at threat.
Its called "immune privilege" certain parts of mammals dont react to antigens to cause inflammation, because the inflammation could cause damage and loss of the organ.
The brain (sort of), the eyes, central nervous system, testicles and fetus and placenta.
Inflammation is incredibly powerful, it dilated blood vessels and sends immune system cells to come fight . Most of the body can tolerate this for short periods, but chronic inflammation is thought to be a significant cause of diseases.
So the body has different protections, which mostly revolve around not letting anything get in the organ unless its meant to be there. So think about all the eye defenses, lids, lashs, brows, eye juice ,etc. Brain has the blood/brain barrier and a whole skull.
Thats all a super simplified version too, immune system is hecka cool and also it will probably be the reason you die in the end, either through being too active or not active enough.
> Seriously, the plan was to bash their face into lit candles?!
No, the plan was to bash his head on the table and have a fake reaction face. So everything went to plan, and the video got traction.
1. Waste of good cake.
2. Unnecessarily humiliating.
3. Potential injury from cake supports or candles.
4. Potential concussion from smashing head into table.
5. \-100 Friendship points to the one who does the smashing.
One of these days someone is gonna have a candle driven into their eyeball with this shit.
It will hit them at just the right angle and maim them for life.
Or more likely it has already happened.
It has, apparently. Not a candle, but a wooden cake support akin to a toothpick in a fancy sandwich. That guy will definitely keep an eye out for this prank in the future.
There was a different comment/post here, but it has been edited.

P.S. fuck /u/spez
I’m pretty sure I saw a pic of that on Reddit at some point, some poor person sitting in an ER with a stick in their eye. So dumb and dangerous to do that to someone.
I only see two scenarios, the person flips and ends up beating someone up, or they just start crying. Either way, their birthday just got ruined.
I don't see how anyone could find that funny
Quick! Stop thinking about a face being thrust into a cake only to have a candle go flame first into their open eye! Especially don’t think about wax and frosting hitting the eyeballs!
Elton John did a song about it...
🎶and it seems to me,
from your birthday cake,
you got candles in your eyes...
Now you can't see who to cling to,
As the pain sets in...🎵
Wasn't a toothpick, it was a wooden dowel (which helps answer the other guy questioning you, since of course putting tooth picks in cakes is a daft idea, but a wooden dowel is used to support other tiers).
Even worse than candles is the cake supports some people dont realise bakers can put inside the larger cakes so the don't fall down or slide over.
They are essentially wooden skewers hidden in the cake
There is more than 1 confirmed story of either death or losing an eye because of this.
I have a side of my family whose tradition is to give 1 slice of the cake to the birthday boy/girl and they have to eat it with their hands behind their back. Same effect but much safer and funnier. Plus ya know there's still cake left after.
There may be issues with the peer pressure, but at least in your tradition the the person eating the cake has some control of how, or even if, they participate.
My wife's family does the whole shoving the cake in the face thing and it feels a lot more like assault and revenge than anything else.
When I was younger we just resorted to eating all the favorite snacks and food of the sibling for the next month.
No mercy. Leave only the wheaties cereal left.
>Potential injury from cake supports or candles.
This was what was going through my brain before his head hit the table. Those candles weren't even out yet. At a minimum he'd have burned his forehead. Depending on his hair care routine, his entire head could have gone up in flames.
Especially number 3. I simply cannot understand how anyone with an IQ above 50 can think it's a good idea to risk ramming burning candles into someone's eyes - someone who's supposed to be a loved one no less.
6. If it’s someone who’s really into makeup or their hair and wanted to look extra nice for their bday, they’re gonna be justifiably pissed about you ruining it
This is the only reason my great-uncle (married in, even) provided when he bribed a waiter to do this to my grandmother a decade or two ago, she was very put together and I guess he wanted to challenge that lol?? I’ve dubbed her the queen of cubic zirconia. She was a beautiful woman and an esthetician by trade. Luckily(?), either from her odd humor, or not wanting to make a scene, she laughed her butt off. If it had been anyone else I think she’d have killed then lol.
I think it's endearing to smoosh a little bit of cake on your newly wed spouse(*just a little, like on the nose with a gentle boop*), but to smash it in someone's face, whether you start with the cake or their head, that's idiotic and wasteful.
A tiny bit on the nose, like just a little boop is safe and can be cute but it depends on your partner. I would talk to them first, or make sure you know what their reaction would be. A lot of people spend so much time and money getting their makeup done, and wedding makeup is a whole thing because it's specifically done for photos. Like as silly as it sounds, if you have makeup and contouring on your nose, even a little boop can mess up the look.
I also loathe this as a wedding tradition. You’re in your fanciest dress, best make-up, often elegant setting…and you smash the cake into faces? I don’t find it funny at all.
When I got married, my anxiety peaked not right before the ceremony, but the moment before we fed each other cake. We talked about it beforehand and had an agreement that we would not smash the cake in each other's face...but I was not entirely sure I could trust her on this specific thing. It was classic game theory.
This trend needs to go away honestly. Nothing like turning a happy moment for someone into an embarrassing one for internet clicks to show your love...
When I was in Korea I had a friend, another Canadian guy, who was badly homesick on his birthday. He wanted to skip the whole thing but his coworkers basically forced him to have a party because Koreans are very big on group activities. So he reluctantly had a bunch of coworkers over to his place, plus me.
He had no idea it's a tradition or whatever to smash someone's face into the cake. When it happened, I'd never seen someone so defeated, so broken down, while surrounded by strangers laughing at him.
I asked Korean people many times why smashing peoples face into the cake is a thing Korean people do, and I basically got the same response to any time you ask that question: "Korean people do this because it is something Korean people do."
I don't know if that answers your question or not
edit: well I've been informed that the thing that I experienced multiple times never happened, so I guess you can chalk that one up to spontaneous hallucinations. Please disregard my post.
I have lived in Korea for half a year and spent time with a lot of Korean students while living in Japan for a couple years; I have never seen anyone smash a person's face into a cake.
Another Korean weighing in, I absolutely NEVER heard of this happening. I can see it might be something uni age boys do but that's all I can come up with. I'd say most Koreans would never do anything that would ruin someone else's face (even temporarily), since how you look is very important to Koreans
Cause the old whipped cream pie just isn’t used in cartoons enough. Now people smash full cakes instead of using sacrificial aluminum foil pie pans filled with rediwhip.
All sense and reason has been stripped from society.
I legitimately don't understand smashing somebody's face into their cake. It's mean, and it means there's less cake for everyone else.
Don't ruin the cake, eat the cake.
I will legitimately end the friendship with anyone who thinks that potentially harming someone is their idea of a prank.
This includes:
- food fights / smashing faces into food
- pushing someone at the edge of steps, cliff, into the pool etc
- causing someone to slip & fall just to laugh at that person (I know someone who slipped, hit his head and died. So wow, not so funny now huh?)
If this is someone’s idea of fun, it shows me the lack of critical thinking skills, inept situational awareness and a penchant for impulsive behaviour, all of which are undesirable traits.
It has always confused me to no end. Specially as a real life prank, or even in comedic movies, it's mean, sad, cringe, wasteful.
My four year old found a cake bit in Tom and Jerry funny the other day and I was like okay, maybe this is the proper context, but still not as funny as Tom turning into a table after an impact.
There's the comedic staple of a series of slapstick mishaps results in pie/cake landing on someone's head or them falling into it.
It's like people see that, and miss the point that it's the unlikely accident/unexpected clumsiness that is the funny part, and so try to recreate the end result with deliberate malice.
Cynically I might extrapolate it to say that a lot of people can't tell the difference between accidents and malice. A lot of highschool drama makes sense when you look at it in that perspective.
Seriously why is doing that such a popular thing to do? If someone slammed my face into my birthday cake i'd get so fu*king mad and it would totally ruin the mood.
No just the birthday person. If I was a guest and I didn’t get to eat cake because someone decided to ruin it with another’s face, ***I*** would be mad.
Because it's staged lol. I'm the first guy to roll my eyes when I see ppl calling everything on here an ad or fake, but this shit is fake as fuck
Edit: 45k. Wow.
This is absolutely staged, fake af, and not very funny. The placement of everyone, the way the girl walks over on cue, how far away the cake actually is, the angle at which she slams his head - all fake. The only thing I could concede is maybe she slammed his head harder than they had planned.
I never liked the whole head slamming into cake thing. Likely someone there either put time and effort and baked the cake or they paid for it and now no one gets cake.
Why do people try to ruin a perfectly fine cake by smashing someone’s head into it? Who wants to eat it afterwards?
Don’t tell me “it’s tradition”. Traditions can be dumb and this one definitely is just a waste of food
Especially with the lit candles. They could’ve set his head on fire.
Also yea, fuck the “tradition” excuse. You can’t just be an asshole and when someone calls you out for it you try justify it by saying “iT TrAdITion”
Head slam or two flaming candles to the eyeballs with the possibility of setting hair on fire. Mashing someone's head into a cake is just shitty. The clean up is a pain. And what if some people wanted to eat the cake?! Depending on the cake you could seriously injure someone. If it has one of those metal spikes in the center...
This is clearly fake but why do people do the whole “pushing your face into the cake” thing? It’s not funny or original, it’s mean spirited and wasteful.

He wished to forget the last couple of years, wish granted!
He also wished for a new Coleman cooler as a helmet!
WOW - what was the point of knocking his head on the table? Happy Birthday Honey!! /s
To keep the lit candles from going into his eyes
That’s something that gets me with people doing this, there’s freaking candles that can stab somebody in their eye good Lord, this is such a ridiculous thing to do to people.
I saw a post years ago about a girl who nearly lost an eye because someone slammed her head into the cake, it had 4 wooden rods inside the cake to provide structural support, one of them went right into her eye. Since then I've always hated the "prank" or "tradition" of slamming someone's face into their cake, you have *no fucking idea* what's in that cake unless you made it yourself (and people who do it while there's still candles are fucking idiots), even then you're still risking hurting the person just from impact. It's stupid. If the cake was made for purpose and everyone is fine with it then go nuts, have a blast, but don't just slam someone's head into a cake you didn't make yourself or that still has candles on it.
You don't need something like that to dislike it - it's wasting a perfectly good delicious cake!
I know right? Why not just go for the classic whipped cream on a plate? No risk and you still get delicious cake!
Yeah, but you can still enjoy the cake if you just smash his head off the table too.
I mean, valid point to be fair.
No risk??? "You ever get [whipped cream] in your eye, Gabriel? Hmmm? It buuuuurns." -- Miss Coco Peru, updated for context.
Omg! That’s terrible! And exactly my thoughts on the whole thing, I totally agree with you.
Yeah it was rough, luckily she was fine and I think it was her who made the posts and took the pictures from hospital (not 100% on that, vague memory), but it could have killed her very easily and near cost her her sight. Definitely one that stuck with me though.
Any legal consequences for the person who did that to her?
So I had a look around and as far as I can tell, no, but there's a whole load of similar cases that pop up when searching for the original story. You'd think full grown adults would have learned this lesson by now.

Am I correct is seeing that this cake has two candles located EXACTLY where a perfectly smooshed face would have had it's eyes land? If she placed those candles and cake....
So instead of injuring his eyes with the candles in the cake he only got a concussion. Best party ever...

That’s because they’re already third eye blind.

he starts moving the cake to his right before she even touches him. starts to move his head to his left too. its fake.
Good catch, the slide was subtle but I'd say you take the cake.
‘Cake’ here to say that. He got the better option. I’ll take a mild concussion any day over two fiery sticks in my eyes.
Why didn't he turn and punch her in the throat?
Probably because he was concussed on the table.
Why do people find it amusing smashing someone's face into a cake? Such waste of a perfectly good cake.
1. Waste of good cake. 2. Unnecessarily humiliating. 3. Potential injury from cake supports or candles. 4. Potential concussion from smashing head into table. 5. \-100 Friendship points to the one who does the smashing.

Or the candles going straight into their eyeballs.
Do you know how to unimagine something?
[удалено]
Yeah that did not help
Well you're not thinking of candles in eyes, are you?
Quick! Stop thinking about a face being thrust into a cake only to have a candle go flame first into their open eye! Especially don’t think about wax and frosting hitting the eyeballs!
How about the candle going into the hair and setting their entire head on fire?
Elton John did a song about it... 🎶and it seems to me, from your birthday cake, you got candles in your eyes... Now you can't see who to cling to, As the pain sets in...🎵

Thank goodness he has a friend to donate their eyeball right?
I mean, getting stabbed through the eyeballs will probably help me unimagine stuff, but there’s gotta be a better way.
It’s the Joker “watch me make this pencil disappear” trick all over again.
Even worse than candles is the cake supports some people dont realise bakers can put inside the larger cakes so the don't fall down or slide over. They are essentially wooden skewers hidden in the cake There is more than 1 confirmed story of either death or losing an eye because of this.
Poor man's lobotomy!
This might help /r/eyebleach
This is the only thing I can think when I see a vid like this. If you want to pull off the Joker magic trick, this is the way.
I’m gonna show you a magic trick. I can make these candle sticks disappear
You can get new eyeballs, you can't get a new ca- oh, wait, nevermind.

I make cakes for birthdays all the time, I’d be so sad if I spent hours on someone’s cake only for them to smash it and not even enjoy it!
I would flip out.
I would like to see a video of a face smasher getting beaten up. Not necessarily to the point of hospitalization, a good punch could do.
When I was younger we just resorted to eating all the favorite snacks and food of the sibling for the next month. No mercy. Leave only the wheaties cereal left.
>Potential injury from cake supports or candles. This was what was going through my brain before his head hit the table. Those candles weren't even out yet. At a minimum he'd have burned his forehead. Depending on his hair care routine, his entire head could have gone up in flames.
At the maximum he'll have candles for eyes
Especially number 3. I simply cannot understand how anyone with an IQ above 50 can think it's a good idea to risk ramming burning candles into someone's eyes - someone who's supposed to be a loved one no less.
"It's funny why does everyone always get so mad you all need to lighten up blah blah blah"
I think about The Dark Knight pencil scene every time

Like as silly as it sounds, if you have makeup and contouring on your nose, even a little boop can mess up the look.
She went for the safe and humane version! No harmed cake and no possible injuries from candles in the eyes!
6- Potentially messing up nices makeups/haircuts/clothes
6. Not original or funny, supposedly the only conceivable benefit 7. Gross and will have to wash off one’s face for a while.
The cake had lighted candles. Even if it went to plan it still wasn’t a very good idea
I also loathe this as a wedding tradition. You’re in your fanciest dress, best make-up, often elegant setting…and you smash the cake into faces? I don’t find it funny at all.
When I got married, my anxiety peaked not right before the ceremony, but the moment before we fed each other cake. We talked about it beforehand and had an agreement that we would not smash the cake in each other's face...but I was not entirely sure I could trust her on this specific thing. It was classic game theory.
This trend needs to go away honestly. Nothing like turning a happy moment for someone into an embarrassing one for internet clicks to show your love...
This prank has been around since as far as I can remember and I don’t understand why it refuses to die out.
You can never underestimate someone’s propensity to be a complete asshole for no reason other than their own amusement.
That's why she chose the table. The same fun without destroying the cake.
Cake? That's boring. But desk? Well that's pure fun!
Came here just to say this. Like why would you ruin somebody's moment like that. It's not even remotely funny.
When I was in Korea I had a friend, another Canadian guy, who was badly homesick on his birthday. He wanted to skip the whole thing but his coworkers basically forced him to have a party because Koreans are very big on group activities. So he reluctantly had a bunch of coworkers over to his place, plus me. He had no idea it's a tradition or whatever to smash someone's face into the cake. When it happened, I'd never seen someone so defeated, so broken down, while surrounded by strangers laughing at him. I asked Korean people many times why smashing peoples face into the cake is a thing Korean people do, and I basically got the same response to any time you ask that question: "Korean people do this because it is something Korean people do." I don't know if that answers your question or not edit: well I've been informed that the thing that I experienced multiple times never happened, so I guess you can chalk that one up to spontaneous hallucinations. Please disregard my post.
I'm Korean. It is absolutely not a tradition to smash people's faces into cake. You either made this up or you were badly misled.
Maybe he mixed up Mexico and South Korea, it's an easy mistake to make
[удалено]
Maybe you just had idiot friends. I hear they are common in every country.
I have lived in Korea for half a year and spent time with a lot of Korean students while living in Japan for a couple years; I have never seen anyone smash a person's face into a cake.
Another Korean weighing in, I absolutely NEVER heard of this happening. I can see it might be something uni age boys do but that's all I can come up with. I'd say most Koreans would never do anything that would ruin someone else's face (even temporarily), since how you look is very important to Koreans
This family knows it and opted for the table instead.
Cause the old whipped cream pie just isn’t used in cartoons enough. Now people smash full cakes instead of using sacrificial aluminum foil pie pans filled with rediwhip. All sense and reason has been stripped from society.
I think that’s why she smashed his face into a table instead, everyone wins?
Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like trying to ram someone's eye into a pointy candle
While they're lit too!
And while the candles are on fire!
'How about a magic trick? I'm going to make these candles disappear!'
"Tadaa!! Its mag- its gone..."
I legitimately don't understand smashing somebody's face into their cake. It's mean, and it means there's less cake for everyone else. Don't ruin the cake, eat the cake.
Same. I would never ever spend my bday with them again.
I will legitimately end the friendship with anyone who thinks that potentially harming someone is their idea of a prank. This includes: - food fights / smashing faces into food - pushing someone at the edge of steps, cliff, into the pool etc - causing someone to slip & fall just to laugh at that person (I know someone who slipped, hit his head and died. So wow, not so funny now huh?) If this is someone’s idea of fun, it shows me the lack of critical thinking skills, inept situational awareness and a penchant for impulsive behaviour, all of which are undesirable traits.
im almost 40 and still dont understand why people waste cakes like that, whats there to gain from this ?
It has always confused me to no end. Specially as a real life prank, or even in comedic movies, it's mean, sad, cringe, wasteful. My four year old found a cake bit in Tom and Jerry funny the other day and I was like okay, maybe this is the proper context, but still not as funny as Tom turning into a table after an impact.
But it’s such an original and hilarious prank! /s
> im almost 40 and still dont understand why people waste cakes like that, whats there to gain from this ? THEY ARE STUPID.
There's the comedic staple of a series of slapstick mishaps results in pie/cake landing on someone's head or them falling into it. It's like people see that, and miss the point that it's the unlikely accident/unexpected clumsiness that is the funny part, and so try to recreate the end result with deliberate malice. Cynically I might extrapolate it to say that a lot of people can't tell the difference between accidents and malice. A lot of highschool drama makes sense when you look at it in that perspective.
I'm 17 and I wonder why people do this as well? Such a waste
"For your birthday, I got you a mild concussion."
“Happy birthday. Also, happy death day.”
Candles in the eyes were out of stock.
Seriously why is doing that such a popular thing to do? If someone slammed my face into my birthday cake i'd get so fu*king mad and it would totally ruin the mood.
Exactly! I would seriously just leave my own birthday party. I hate this every time I see it
The trick is to never have a birthday party. Worked for 30+ years so far.
No just the birthday person. If I was a guest and I didn’t get to eat cake because someone decided to ruin it with another’s face, ***I*** would be mad.
wondering if the people who are smashing face's into cakes think the same on their own birthday edit: spähling
Not gonna lie, I would start swinging.
And people would be like, BUT IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY HOW CAN YOU SLAP?
You can say fucking on the Internet
I don’t even understand the math here. His head didn’t even brush through the cake. Her aim was like at least a feet off! Edit: *a foot
Because it's staged lol. I'm the first guy to roll my eyes when I see ppl calling everything on here an ad or fake, but this shit is fake as fuck Edit: 45k. Wow.
This is absolutely staged, fake af, and not very funny. The placement of everyone, the way the girl walks over on cue, how far away the cake actually is, the angle at which she slams his head - all fake. The only thing I could concede is maybe she slammed his head harder than they had planned.
The way everyone else is standing is just so rigid and strange lol
I never liked the whole head slamming into cake thing. Likely someone there either put time and effort and baked the cake or they paid for it and now no one gets cake.
Agreed, if you wanna joke around use the old "balloon covered in whipped cream"-routine. When done bring out the real cake.. And some towels.
Why do people try to ruin a perfectly fine cake by smashing someone’s head into it? Who wants to eat it afterwards? Don’t tell me “it’s tradition”. Traditions can be dumb and this one definitely is just a waste of food
Especially with the lit candles. They could’ve set his head on fire. Also yea, fuck the “tradition” excuse. You can’t just be an asshole and when someone calls you out for it you try justify it by saying “iT TrAdITion”
People have lost an eye because of this stupid “tradition”
My tradition is to actually eat the cake
I may even share a bit if I'm feeling generous
Two candles perfectly lined up for his eyes. Lucky he hit the table instead.
Not funny in the slightest.
I expect nothing less from r/funny
Maybe r/notfunny is more funny than r/funny.
also scripted like most of this shit
this looks so fake
One of the dumbest trends right now
Pretty sure it was already a 'trend' back when 'America's Funniest Home Videos' was a thing. Perhaps before then too.
This has been around for decades
Can we PLEASE do away with this idiotic fucking tradition of slamming someone's face, in this case his head, into a cake?
Head slam or two flaming candles to the eyeballs with the possibility of setting hair on fire. Mashing someone's head into a cake is just shitty. The clean up is a pain. And what if some people wanted to eat the cake?! Depending on the cake you could seriously injure someone. If it has one of those metal spikes in the center...
#WITH LIT FUCKING CANDLES
Whoever does this to people (and those that watch, thinking it’s funny): fuck you.
r/scriptedasiangifs
Attempt to murder
This is clearly fake but why do people do the whole “pushing your face into the cake” thing? It’s not funny or original, it’s mean spirited and wasteful.
Staged af
/r/scriptedasiangifs
This never in any situation can make the birthday better, just a waste of waiting for the cake.
I imagine the party-goers looking at the ruined cake and being sad that they don't get any because it is fucking Michael-flavoured now.
This is so fake
Happy birthday to the desk. I'm not part of your system.
Trying to do that to someone even if you hit the Cake is still ridiculous & not funny, it ruins the moment like here.
How is this funny?
Yeah, fuck anyone who thinks pushing someone's face in a cake is funny.
Smashing face while candles are already burning
Angry headache noises
Reality shows and tiktok has trained to see humiliation and endangerment as entertainment. It is a disease.
Id slap a bitch for that.
This Filipino family would beat the shit out of him
Other than the girl in the gray tank top, I think he has a fighting chance against them.
Nice analysis kowalski
Fake
This prank just turned into assault
Holy hell is this staged
Stupid trend
I wonder how many eye holes have been impaled by flaming wax stix with this maneuver.
This trend is fucked-up. Not funny, not nice.
I hate people who push peoples faces into cakes. It’s not funny at all. It ruins a good cake. Prank someone by giving them a joke/embarrassing gift
The face-in-cake thing is so fucking stupid.
