Kids are often the focus of funny videos that go viral, as their innocent reactions can provide some priceless entertainment.
A prime example of this is a video shared last week which sparked a challenge, for parents to record themselves as they throw cheese straight at their babies.
Twitter userunclehxlmes posted a video saying "just cheesed my lil brother", where he throws a slice of processed cheese directly at the baby.
The clip soon attracted over 8.3 million views, 258,000 retweets and 758,000 likes, with the majority of the public finding it funny, which lead them to mimic the video themselves.
One person said in the thread: "I shouldn't laugh as much as I just did. He even knew something bad was about to happen."

Another joked: "Kid's gonna grow up with a cheese phobia."
However, it soon became clear that the Twitter user who shared the video wasn't actually the mastermind behind the hilarious form of entertainment.

As people began copying the video and it gained media attention the Twitter user admitted he'd found the video through Facebook, then falsely posted it on Twitter pretending it was his younger sibling.
Among those not amused is Chrissy Teigen who some dub the Queen of Twitter for her always completely honest attitude.
I love a prank as much as anybody but I cannot get myself to throw cheese at my adorable, unsuspecting baby who has all the hope and trust in the world in me
