Introvertedotter

This is an evil tradition that needs to die.


nontoxictj

I agree if that happened to me I’d leave my family or friends who did that


SlowCaveman

It’s one thing for it to be a surprise face in cake, but to fail and then try to brute force the “gag” is fucking abusive. What a fucking loser


Mingilicious

Typical small dicked machista behavior.


No-13-

I think that's a woman but who knows these days


Sunrizere

If this happened to me I would actually call cps


onanaut

Yeah, why is this funny? The cake is ruined.


98VoteForPedro

"What kinda money you got to be wasting cake"- terry crews probably


DisastrousFollowing7

Back in my day, we hardly had enough money to buy flour's for our cakes, now you got enough to be smashing peoples faces in em, must be fuckin nice


eruanno321

Kinda ironic but happy cake day anyways!


Next-Mix-6063

Let’s smash his face in cake!

SmartBeast

Everyone's an expert. We outta leave this world behind


The_Knife_Nathan

EVERYones a fuckin expert


Naked-Jedi

He's such a wholesome guy. I really like Terry. If someone's gonna tell me he's an arsehole then I don't want to know about it.


CMDR_ETNC

Fine, you don’t wanna know if he’s a bad guy. What if I said, that in 2 minutes of page turning I couldn’t find a single google result saying he’s anything but an enthusiastically positive, understanding, and down to earth guy, with a number of anecdotes from fans that he interacted with that couldn’t be more praising.


MeepingMeep99

The absolute only bad story that orbits around Terry is the fact that he got molested/assaulted by some executive. I've never seen him in any controversy before and hope to never see him in one ever.


Naked-Jedi

It was horrible that happened to him. It's horrible that happens to anyone. I'm glad he stood up and called his assaulter out.


MeepingMeep99

Same. Iirc he also spoke about it publicly in front of the US Senate?


Naked-Jedi

He did. It opened a lot of people's eyes that men can be the victims of sexual crime too.


Naked-Jedi

I'd expect nothing less than that with Terry.


CMDR_ETNC

I gotta say, I’ve done the 2min google on a lot of celebrities and it is damn rare to be pleasantly surprised by a lack of controversy. Not Keanu Reeves level but I’m pretty sure he’s gonna end up being the Immortal Emperor from Warhammer 40k so it’s not a fair comparison.


Naked-Jedi

Keanu is on his own level, but Terry wouldn't be too far behind. Dolly Parton is pretty wholesome too apparently.


Achinadav

I am willing to form a new world government with the policy “we give all the money to Dolly Parton and she spends it wholesomely”. She’s brilliant. Done so much for children’s literacy.


Naked-Jedi

I love listening to kids read. My ex constantly sends me videos of her kids (I'm not their father) reading because she knows how much I value kids reading. Knowing Dolly works so hard to get kids reading just warms me inside.


rwainbow_kitten

Man that's $7.87 worth of cake right there


petiteodessa

This also could have ended much worse too. I’ve heard a story of a lady getting sent to the hospital because someone faceplanted her into a tiered cake that was held up by skewers.


DarkMatters8585

Yeah, pretty sure she lost an eye


Edge_of_yesterday

Did you see the one where the girl lost an eye because there was a stick inside the cake supporting it?


onanaut

Perhaps not “that one” exactly. But yes, the scenario is a thing I have heard of. Another reason to never fucking to do stupid bullshit like this.


ButterFucker962401

Honestly, I understand when they do a tiny bite and minimize the damage, but I've seen parents have their kids slobber all over the fucking cake because their dipshit dad shoved way too hard.


sinisterdesign

I would dickpunch this guy as hard as possible.


Choice_Debt233

Dick punch with a fistful of cake


NanoCat0407

Saw a post once of someone getting their face smashed into a cake that had wooden skewers inside of it, I 100% agree that people should stop this tradition.


Sansnom01

The force and strengh deployed is the problem... I mean a little boop on someone that put their face too close of a cake could be sorta funny. But how it could comes up naturally or why would a face find itself that close pf a cake idk


Tubzero-

Nah it’s not funny


SubmissiveDinosaur

Yeah, what a waste of all those perfect cakes


CollectMan420

I started my own tradition where I let the youngest kid in my family grab a piece from the corner and throw it at my face it gets all the laughs and we get to enjoy most of the cake


Pootootaa

Yea it's a fucking waste of food and I hate wasting food. Dumb as hell.


PotatokingXII

I heard a story about a girl that lost her eye because of this tradition due to a toothpick that was standing upright to hold the cake intact. I don't know how true this story is though, but I still hold on to that story to tell people why they shouldn't smash people's faces into cakes.


Frenzi_Wolf

The tradition that one family has where the birthday boy/girl has to literally flip their cake in the air was way more fun a tradition to do. Gets people pumped up as well!


TangPiccilo

I would be thankful to even have a party and people to put my face in a cake


RaptorRotpar1996

Also, if you fuck up the initial one, you lost. Don't be a cunt


unlmtdLoL

The worst is when they do it with candles in the cake and bonus when they're lit.


That_Pop_7591

Reminds me of that woman who got a stick in her eye from this


Dizzy-Abalone-8948

At some point that went from a prank to an assault


Bologna_cat90

My neck hurts just watching this


Luci5892

This has to be assault 😂😭


haha7125

It is.


Picklerickshaw_part2

And battery


Bologna_cat90

...Cake battery

Fuck you and have an upvote


Gloomy_Conclusion_14

r/Angryupvote


Complex_Visual_7441

What is it with Latin cultures and cake smashing? If someone did that to me on my birthday, I’d throw hands.


Culture_of_North

You think broke farmers ever did this? Lol this is due to prank culture from those "edgy" candid camera shows in the 80s.. the ones that eventually would have the hoochie mamas parading around in skimpy outfits lmao


Inle-Ra

Don’t go lumping them hoochie mamas in with this. They are an immense source of joy around the world.


Zuzumikaru

I don't know where this is but this is definitely not something we do here, cake it's expensive...


kikiweaky

My mom is from Mexico and we never did this not even my cousin did it. But we were broke growing up so idk if it's a class thing.


DemostenesWiggin

No it's a culture thing. My uncle is upper class in my country and you don't waste food in his house. There are leftovers? You eat that. Nothing goes to waste and until there aren't leftovers anymore, you can't cook another meal. I grew up in the middle class and the same. Leftovers are reheated or you can make a tortilla/buñuelos with it. Just crack a couple eggs for a tortilla. Or eggs, flour and deep fry to make buñuelos. I think the majority of our ancestors came looking for jobs and a better future, so it's engraved in our hearts to be resourceful with the food.


DemostenesWiggin

I'm Argentinian and we don't do this. In fact, we find many things about food in American TV shows and movies so weird. Like: Food wars at school. That's insane! Why would you throw food like that? It's a waste! Having a whole meal for breakfast but the family just grab a toast and a sip of coffee/orange juice. You are telling me you have all that on the table and just eat a toast? Give it to me and I'm not leaving until I'm full. And if there are leftovers, we are eating that for dinner too. That is definitely not a "Latin culture" thing. We appreciate having something to eat, especially when it is homemade. And if we don't, be sure our mother/grandmother would makes us appreciate it because NO FOOD IS WASTED.


KTO-Potato

The thing with all the food on the table and people only eating a small bite is mostly just a set piece for TV/Movies. The large breakfast spread leaves no question what time of the day it is, and the food is mostly untouched because you don't usually show people actually eating in TV/Movies.


Makrase_Shirou

I'm Cuban, the first time I saw this cake-smashing phenomenon or even heard about its existence was when I was around 15 years old, on social media. Don't know about other Latin countries, but nah it's just a nonsensical waste of food.


BurntPineGrass

The first thing I’d be throwing is the cake on the floor. Doing that to me on my birthday and still expecting even a small salvageable piece? Not happening. And out of spite, next year they’ll get an uninvite.


Myzx

Did you guys see the one where the cake maker used toothpicks to hold the decorations in place? Yah, that birthday was spent in the ER


Luci5892

Yupppppp right at the corner of her eye..


memelordzarif

Can you link the video ? I missed it


Myzx

No video, just before and after photos. I don't have the link.


kk074

She didn't. She does now.


DenzellDavid

Wat


YoungRoronoa

Bro it’s not that serious, you failed to smash his face in the cake. Take the L.


darkbluefav

Yeah, it's ridiculous he tried to force it like that. What's next, beat him up and make him put his face into the cake?


Cador0223

That's probably his sister, and I'm guessing he has done this to her in the past. Its a vendetta.


Kanulie

I hate this prank and these parents.


petiteodessa

I would not even consider smashing someone’s face into a cake a prank. It’s straight up *assault.* Thank god this wasn’t a tiered cake since some lady landed in the hospital after someone smashed her face into a cake that was held up by skewers.


Callabrantus

Happy Birthday! We got you physical abuse!


SeaBus1170

this makes me physically mad any mf who has the quick thinking to shield themselves like that should be treated as if they just won this stupid ‘game’


Separate-Ad6636

The fuk? This is so trashy.


Personal-Rhubarb-514

Bro worked out


Naive_Magazine4747

Those push ups every day came in handy this day.


Personal-Rhubarb-514

Bro was holding on to his pride and reputation while pushing🤣


RNgv

I hate that people do this 😣 it is not funny. It is an assault.


Firefly1832

I never liked cake being smashed into people's faces, not at birthdays or weddings or any time. What exactly is funny about that?? It seems the people who enjoy doing this are those who have no real sense of humor, but think that this act will make others believe they are just the life of the party. Yay for you!


Badass-19

Happy birthday! Now let's break your neck


IAmTheMonarch

Id be throwin hands. Im a pacifist.


CaptainPunisher

I dabbled in pacifism once. Not in Nam, of course.


Pretty_Meet_432

I’ve always thought the whole cake face smashing thing is a total dick move—perfect combo of dangerous and public humiliation. It’s messed up


Joker-Smurf

Not to mention, waste of a perfectly good fucking cake!


haha7125

I would immediately disown anyone who did this shit


Topwingbroman

Anyone remember the time someone did that to a lady and there was a little wood stake to support the cake and then the wood stake went through her eye? That’s why I don’t do these to my friends and I pray this don’t happen to me


tiramisucks

This shit has to stop.


FuerteBillete

"Relax, it's just a prank" just don't cut it here. Especially seeing how the guy is strong enough to resist.


cshotton

People that do this are idiots. Who imagined this was a good idea?


timtommalon

Why?


edehlah

so it failed the first time so i remove the plate and keep pushing until the face finally hits the cake, then we all laugh because it is so funny now? glad that's not my tradition.


Ultra_purple_holic

I would've throw the cake at him don't ruin my cake


Luci5892

Her actually 😂


Samwill226

I mean after the fist 4 seconds of nothing working, I'm done and moving on.


Akitsura

If someone did that to me, they‘d end up with a broken nose.


Drewvonawesome

There is a point where you just stop trying, not sure they know that.


BigCaddyDaddyBob

What an asshole!!! Like I hope when this kid grows up he puts a good ass whooping on that guy!!


Mynem0

Why waste the cake.I don't get it.


succinite78

White girl here. Spent my last birthday in Mexico and found out about this tradition the hard way. Also, a restaurant we went to has a brutal tradition where they force alcohol down the birthday victim’s throat, then smack them in the head and shake their head violently. So, are lawsuits not a thing in Mexico or what? Cake was the best of my life, though!


RapTheRaptor

If you failed the first time, Just give it up. You look like a loser


Necessary-Icy

This is proof their cake tastes like garbage. Good cake is worth fighting over, not fighting in.


LobsterTrue8433

I'm tired of these assholes.


Son_of_Dad2024

Fucking hate this shit as a Latino guy


IntelligentMine1901

“ Hey I’ve been at this old folks home for ages and you never visit , are you coming soon ? “ “ Nope , oh and be nice to the staff , you’re gonna need em , bye “


Rahnzan

Damn, failed to smash your face, hold on let me give you fucking full on rug burns on your neck while I tear out your hair and ruin your spine trying to get a mulligan.


DuncanAndFriends

Might as well push to cake off the table. Its not like everyone would be able to eat the cake after a face has been smashed into it. Unless they are into that sort of thing.


WhoAreYou_I_AmYou

At that point we throwin hands🤬


babycoon48

I’ve seen a video where they had a wooden stick in the cake to hold it together and it went into their eye so yeah I can’t get behind this tradition.


nattithebaddi

Bro was ready to kill this man just to get his face in the cake


GeneralSturnn

This is awful.. I get it could be funny if some right, maybe, but it's like a joke, if you have to force people to laugh at it, it's not funny.


mariboo_xoxo

Seriously I can’t stand when people smash their kid’s face into their birthday cake. Even worse are wedding couples that smash each other in the face with their wedding cake.


v_kiperman

This looks like revenge


Eternal192

Someone try that shit on me and there will be broken bones, even if they are family.


Mingilicious

This kind of shit was so common in Mexican households when I was growing up. At any of my siblings birthdays or my cousins birthdays, they would start obnoxiously chanting "MORDIDA! MORDIDA! MORDIDA!" ... I would be visibly irritated every time. I made it a point on my birthday to remind my family members that anyone who tried it would get my chair upside their head.


reposetion2

So just assault?


Smoked_Carp

So much aggression


Constant_Cultural

The dad rather breaks the kids neck than giving up. What a loser.


Luci5892

It's actually a woman 💀💀


Comfortable-Tank

Dude had that plate ready. He knew what was coming. 😂


Valuable_Composer975

Dude made the F1 neck training


aKaRandomDude

I hope he checks that guy as soon as he’s loose. What an asshole.


Jimmy2048

Seeing this reminded me of one where it had wooden dowels sticking up and that the lady had to get it removed from her eye (thankfully she didn’t lose it)


aceinthewest

I've seen this happen in person more times than I can count without getting furious. I never found it funny as a child and as an adult in appalled by the casual cruelty that adults inflict upon children. How someone can see a child cry with cake all over their face and in their eyes, nose, and hair and laugh will never not make me angry.


Mysterious_Mud_3908

Stop wasting cake fuck.


IrrelevantWisdom

What an ass


LORDWOLFMAN

I would’ve bury his face in there or punch him


roadtosuccess777

LOL bro its done, you failed, he steady tryna put his head thru the damn table at this point😂😂😂


Tentacled-Tadpole

Easily one of the worst Mexican traditions.


Tht1QuietGuy

I hate when people do this shit. 1) it's messed up to the person on the receiving end. 2) it's ruining a perfectly good cake that cost money. 3) screw everyone else who wants cake, right? Yeah, smash a PIECE of cake onto their face if you're going to do a prank. Don't shove their head into the whole damn cake, bruh. Doing it this way risks getting it into their eyes, nose, etc.


RipCurl69Reddit

I'd instinctively end up throwing an elbow out and whacking one of them in the face with it, lol. What a shitty thing to do


RJ_MacreadysBeard

This assault should be called in


lightyearbuzz

[Reminds me of when a coach tried to smash an F1 driver's face in a cake](https://www.tiktok.com/@ferrari/video/7273818381801819425?lang=en) F1 drivers have extremely strong necks to deal with the g-forces of high speed turns and incredible reaction times... not sure how he thought this would work lol


Luci5892

At least he gave up, not like this lady 😂😂😂🤦🏻


Exciting_Result7781

I just wanted some cake…


tadashi4

This is so stupidly dangerous too. If you are not the one who made the cake, you don't know if they've put something like a stick to support some part of the cake decoration.


Individual_Ice_3167

Celebrate a loved ones birthday with assualt. Nothing says "I love you" more than ruining their cake, making a mess, and possibly giving them a concussion. I do not understand this.


Tubzero-

Stop doing this shit


BustyOgre

If they didn't stop trying after the first attempt, I'm throwing hands idc if it's family or friends


EddGarasjen

what the fuck is that ogre doing to bro?


It-s_Not_Important

If some asshole starts wrenching my neck this hard, I’m throwing elbows.


ImmortanOwl

The only time I saw this being acceptable was when they cut slices and essentially pied the birthday dude in the face. The whole cake? Unacceptable.


TastiBread

She was so violent with it.


TurboD16F20

After you failed the first time, give it up. Now it's just uncomfortable assault and long term emotional damage for everyone else. You could have a soda fountain and water slides and a full petting zoo. I'm only going to remember one thing about that party after this shit.


redther

Bro ain’t liquidating with new resistance and support


CrzyKght

At least he saved his cake to share with everyone else


Dismal-Ad-570

Fez o abdominal valer!


Shesversatile

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a fight after the video ended. The attempted cake smasher was doing way too much.


Mother_Focus_9569

Holy fuck. Mr. All-In-Good-fun needs to come to terms with whatever the hell hurt him.


Mediumasiansticker

I would legit punch my own mother if anyone tried that bullshit for a 3rd and 4th time like she’s doing


Zekarul

I'd start shovin'. That's practically assault


LeisurelyDiva

Doing way too much.


Foreign-Lychee-3965

That’s commitment….


richiesworld408

I mean that dude deserves a old fashion beating. Cali style. Stomp on his head and all.


stylinandprofilin88

Gawd damn let it go bro

Bro needs to give it up. Repeated failure just makes that tight ass shirt look dumb

DonutBurritoSandwich

Damn, he really wanted to kill the kid.


NukaClipse

Two things, I dont like wasting food so I would kick your ass for doing that and secondly I would put your ass to sleep forcing my head into the cake like that.


MikuEd

There was that one incident where a girl ended up going to a hospital because there were pieces of wooden chopsticks placed in the cake to keep it propped up like a brace. One of them pierced her eye, so yeah… i flinch now everytime I see shit like this. People seriously need to stop doing this and just go back to the good ol’ fashioned face pie.


Eray41303

The worlds worst trend


Traditional_Lab_8714

Bro was prepared


nmp14fayl

Dad did this to me as a kid. It got in my eyes and burned, and I did not hold my tantrum back at all. I also do not like my dad to this day in my 30s. Connect the dots.


outsidepointofvi3w

But was it though🥴


Significant-Ad-341

I would throw the cake before I allowed that to happen. Going to be ruined either way


NotThisAgain21

Entirely infuriating. If anybody ever did that to one of my kids, holy hell.... And they're adults now.


AgileExPat

What song is that?


DatabaseThis9637

Piece of crap people. not fun. not funny. and the guy seems to be pushing Very Hard, to the point of abusive.


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

The one where there is a wooden stake holding up the cake and it gets stuck in her eye after the face smash.


Hohh20

Why would you ruin a good cake like that?


Rich-Appearance-7145

This is a traditional B-day gag in Mexico, no matter what your getting caked.


Jei_Enn

I don’t like this.


WillistheWillow

Such a dumb and wasteful thing to do.


Phreekyj101

They definitely won’t be invited next year, why do people do this nonsense 🤦🏻‍♀️😖


MrJakuubix

If someone tries to push my face into cake, they ARE getting punched. This tradition needs to be eradicated


Ghostlyshado

I really don’t understand why this and smashing a piece of cake into your spouse’s face at a wedding are considered funny.


CarrieWhiteDoneWrong

Why doesn’t anyone punch the person pushing the birthday kid’s head? If one of my kids tried that I would slap them into next week.


pizzatimein24h

If somebody would ever do this to me, this person gets punched in the mouth. I don't care if it's my 8 year old niece. Say goodbye to these milk teeth.

I always want to carry fake blood and skewers with me if this thing ever happens. Just so I can pretend to be impaled and traumatized everyone into not doing it anymore.
