I initially thought my friend had lost her mind when we stumbled upon a YouTube video featuring an adult with perfectly manicured nails opening plastic eggs and narrating their contents in excruciating detail. At first, I chuckled at the absurdity. However, months later, the humor has worn thin. Just when I believe I’ve seen every variation, another video emerges with a new theme or character. Want to see someone “catch” eggs in a pool before revealing what’s inside? Or how about an assortment of eggs wrapped in Play-Doh, decorated to resemble characters from a popular animated film? The options are endless, and with each shift in my child’s interests, these bizarre videos seem to multiply.
These surprise eggs are becoming increasingly irksome. I can’t fathom why adults dedicate their time to creating these videos. It’s a classic case of just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. What drives a grown person to buy tiny toys, pack them into eggs, and then film themselves feigning excitement over their contents? If I had a spare hour, I would certainly choose to spend it in more meaningful ways. While I appreciate the diversity of content available, the trend of surprise eggs crosses a line.
What’s particularly frustrating is the plethora of nonsensical content that YouTube now suggests alongside these egg videos. For instance, there are uploads of adults role-playing as various characters in ridiculous scenarios, such as a dentist performing a tooth extraction on a well-known cartoon character. These videos automatically appear if I linger too long after an egg video, adding to my irritation.
Despite my disdain, surprise egg videos have infiltrated our daily routines. They have become the go-to activity for screen time, effectively distracting my child during challenging moments. My daughter has developed specific preferences, requesting particular characters and themes, making it difficult for me to resist her pleas. I find myself using these videos to motivate her to leave the park or tidy up her toys. And I’m not alone—these videos boast millions of views, resonating with countless parents of young children who share in my frustration. Those without kids look at me as if I’ve lost my sanity when I bring up the “surprise egg phenomenon.”
The question remains: who came up with this concept, and what prompted them to pursue it? As parents, we must wonder how we allowed this trend to permeate our homes. I would gladly reverse this decision if I could. This trend rivals even the most annoying children’s shows, and I dread the thought of inadvertently inviting them into our lives.
There are far more productive uses of my time, such as household chores, yet I often succumb to my daughter’s polite requests to watch “the Mickey eggs.” The worst moments arise when we’re away from home and a meltdown ensues due to an inability to access these videos. Recently, my daughter discovered a plastic Easter egg, which she now treats like a prized possession, playing with it more than many of the toys I’ve purchased.
In summary, the surprise egg trend shows no signs of abating, and I find myself wishing for a shift to something less irritating. Though toddler trends are typically fleeting, I hope for a swift transition to the next phase. Anything but this!
