I laughed out loud when I heard "I would happily swap".
"Is there a cat nearby that's miraculously given birth to a human? I'll happily swap." Awesome! Love it. ^_^

Funny video, but • I spent too much time puzzling over the blood on her collarbone. In the end I figured it's just some afterbirth joke. • I didn't think the final (written) tag was necessary. I thought it overstated what was already mostly obvious. Nothing like spelling out irony to remove the irony. • one question that the video completely failed to answer: what color ink was the kitten done in?

Now he's back where he started. ... Wait a second... if you've got me explaining this video because you're are jokingly leading me to believe that you are one of those who are "stupid enough to believe we are capable of giving birth to animals" and that this video is more faction than comedy. You got me. Nice one, how meta.

Matt Smith Nothing so advanced... Maybe its just not my brand of comedy... I just see a man whos wife just delivered a kitten instead of a baby. This ofcoarse upset the man, who had been expecting a human child. Then the text comes up, basically saying: "Some time this century, humans start birthing animals. No, not really, you idiot."

I think it's that, as soon as she said "genetic mutations" he switched from disbelief to belief, and treated the kitten like a misfortune instead of an impossibility. This would reflect how people believe more if they're told there's science behind it.

Wouldn't the title "Progress" be more apt? Otherwise, keep up the incredibly obvious "comedy". I like the way you've kept the need to actually laugh to a minimum.
The end was grandiose ;)

But the man in the sketch never seemed like he believed his wife had given birth to a kitten he just seemed baffled at the situation and getting no where with the nurse so he sat down and started to get his thoughts together. And because it was a "comedy sketch" I just accepted that he never tried to actual find his wife or another doctor because I assumed you all didn't have the budget for more actors.
So random, that's the best kind of comedy!!!
ahahahah)))I really thought that he would take it for himself.So naive))

He was doubly stupid, because he not only believed in the birth of the kitten but also believed the woman.
I didn’t get the idea behind this video... Does it imply that genetic mutations don’t occur? Or maybe that genetic mutations can’t lead to a newborn looking nothing like it’s parents? Or that people will believe anything if you tell them that there’s a scientific study that explains that particular phenomenon? If it’s the first two things - it’s obviously a fact that mutations happen and some children may look nothing like their parents (to a certain degree of course)! There are people with horrible disfigurements due to genetic diseases that in reality you know. Hopefully this video is not talking about those cases...

So... where the original short story used the line "God's ways are inscrutable" and seemed to be taking a shot at religion, you replace the line with "Our progression knows no bounds." *calculating* Is this a shot at otherkin? Or generally at progressiveness, and people being expected to be accepting of everything? *gears turning* Together with the original this draws a parallel between progressive acceptance and the least sane component of religion: the fact that it can, in the minds of the faithful, explain any impossible-seeming thing. Got there!

This is good. I can think of a number of examples that this happens in real life. Nowdays people say the following things and people believe it: - men can have babies - if a man just dresses and acts like a woman, then he is a woman - we evolved from a monkey - herding cows changes the climate shall I go on?

Is his wife a “trans woman”? Maybe this is what they meant when doctors agreed “trans women” (men in dresses) could give birth too?
