Where's my Money???

The Landlord was my favorite. I think that them using Pearl, this tiny 2 year old girl, to show the ways a landlord could be, was so funny. I do think that by using a baby though the clip was a little harsh and unruly. I can't imagine being in the same place with someone instructing my daughter to use such vulgar language, and just sitting there. I would have to get up and slap the person who thinks it's okay. I understand that now a days some adults think that a child swearing is so funny, I believe that when a child is that young, they are seen as so innocent. By doing what they have done in this clip, shows people that children can be, "innocent", but they are also easily persuaded to do otherwise. Using language such as "Give me my money, or I'll kick you out."sounds fine. No swearing, it's cute, and could have easily been followed by something as simple as "Give it to me now!!" Instead of "Or ill kick your a**" followed by her pretending to be drunk with a six pack in her hand. I think that this could have been easily avoided.

Though I did not find the landlord funny, because of comedic timing and topic, I did not find it offensive. I do not condone swearing but i do not think it is bad for a kid of that age or even older.

Thankfully Pearl isn't old enough to remember words she doesn't use herself. Part of the power of the video is the use of obscenity.
