Jimmy Kimmel Makes Kids Cry (Again) With This Year's Hilarious Halloween Candy Prank

One of my favorite parts about Halloween comes after the holiday has already passed. It’s the YouTube challenge known as “Hey Jimmy Kimmel I ate all my kids’ Halloween candy.”

 Every year Jimmy Kimmel makes kids around the country cry by challenging parents to tell the poor candy lovers that all of their hard work has been for nothing because they have eaten every last piece of their beloved Halloween candy. Of course this is not true, but the kids don’t know that. Witness crying, tantrums, knocking over chairs, and the adorable but heart breaking “oh, it’s okay” during this hilarious segment. Even after its fourth year, the prank hasn’t gotten any less funny- at least for the adults anyway.

Watch This Hilarious Jimmy Kimmel YouTube Challenge: “I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy”

A few years ago, Jimmy Kimmel challenged parents to take the trick part of “trick or treating” literally to trick their kids in the meanest (and most hilarious) way possible. He had parents tell their children that after all their hard work walking from house to house collecting candy on Halloween night, the parents had done the unthinkable and eaten every single hard-earned piece. 

Kimmel then requested that the parents film their kids reaction and send the results to him to put together into one hysterical clip. Reactions range from despair to temper tantrums, but each as cute and funny as the one before (some of them even make you feel guilty for laughing!). The prank was so successful and popular that Kimmel has continued to challenge viewers to participate in this post-Halloween trick each year since. 

Click below to watch last year’s YouTube challenge and hopefully we can expect another clip from Kimmel in the next few weeks after this year’s night of Trick or Treating (at the expense of our poor little candy collectors)
