If you’re anything like me, you’ve already seen this video 22 times, but you just can’t get enough of it. I’m totally enchanted by it. It’s my all-time favourite YouTube video.
If you go to YouTube and search on “Charlie Bit Me” you’ll find dozens of remakes, mostly of adults re-enacting this video. I bet they just about peed themselves laughing while they were making them.
I’m sure half the appeal of this video is the accent.
When I was a kid growing up in Kinburn, Kinburn wasn’t very multicultural. (That was a profound understatement: If you were from Galetta, you’d be treated like a foreigner, and Galetta was only about seven miles away.)
Anyway, one summer someone had some British children visiting. They were little, maybe three and four years old. They brought them to our baseball games (I played shortstop for the Kinburn Kool Katz. No, seriously, I did.) Every kid in Kinburn was completely charmed by these little British kids with their adorable little British accents. We’d gather round them and make them say our names, and then we’d fall down in paroxysms of laughter at the sound of our names in British. We’d fight over whose name they’d say next. We adored those children – they were such a novelty item – and we missed them terribly when they went back home.
We probably would have liked people from Galetta if only they’d had charming accents.

I LOVE IT!!! Sam laughs every time we see it and Max is sure its him and Sam! You have to see him – “I want to watch when Baby Sam and me is on mine bed, and he bites me and I say ouch”
I think it is hilarious because I KNOW we’ll go through this too!
Don’t you think the older boy is just the sweetest kid on the whole planet? It didn’t even occur to him to whack the baby!
Oh I know there’s a whole lotta nice boy energy in this vid even with the cannivalism!
canniBalism…you know this one handed typing while nursing at the keyboard has led to some really interesting typos…today I accidentally coined a new term – procrastibating. I don’t think I need to provide a definition.
This…this is why I hate children. Well, one of the many reasons.
Well THAT was a conversation stopper. LOL.
Oh My gosh!!! Soo very cute. It’s been a loong time since my boys were that little. Part of the wonder and joy of holding babies – you never know what’s going to happen; spit-up, biting, leaks and kisses.
That’s adorable.
That has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen!
ah yes…the KKK. What a team we were. I played 2nd base but I don’t think we played the same year, did we? Then I was traded to Pakenham
