There's something inherently funny about people (yes, even kids) getting hit in the head with balls. It seems to be funnier if the ball is big and the kid is small. It isn't funny if it is on purpose or if serious injury results. If it is an accident and nothing too awful happens, then it is hilarious.
Why hasn't America's Funniest Home Videos dedicated an entire show to this!?
This one is so funny. The little girl is running along and then, WHAM, down she goes.
The likelihood of this ever happening again and also being caught on tape is so rare, making this one of the greatest hit-in-the-head videos ever. It's great how you see him start running at the beginning. He slides pretty far after going down.
The force of the giant ball makes this little girl do a faceplant into the grass. Listen to all of the adults laugh it up while she's crying. It is so difficult not to laugh at this stuff!
A montage of people getting hit in the head!
This one is borderline not funny because if you've ever been hit in the head or face with a soccer ball unexpectedly, you know how much it sucks.
I feel like a horrible human for laughing at this. To be fair, the person filming laughs way too much and the editing makes it worse.
The ball is almost bigger than the kid! He didn't stand a chance.
Wait, does the ball hit the boy playing basketball AND the little girl?
I can't decide if I think this was set up or an accident.
These guys were kicking the ball at each other on purpose, but the direct hit to the face is accidental. The sound it makes is awesome.
Maybe it's because I got hit in the face with a softball while playing catch with my dad when I was a kid, (it knocked out a tooth, but it was already loose), but I just didn't think these were very funny. Poor babies, I just want to pick them all up, hug them and then arm them with bigger balls to throw at the mean ole adults who are laughing at them - yep, probably their own parents....and of course Beth, the original poster.
