This Hilarious Gender Reveal Fail Just Burst the Binary Wide Open

We all love to hate gender reveal parties. Besides placing an unborn child into antiquated ideas of boy and girl roles, they're usually just plain tacky. Lest we forget the guy that caused $8 million in forest fire damage...

That's why fail videos taste so delicious. 

In the latest now-viral clip, a mom and dad try to pop a massive black balloon, presumably filled with blue or pink confetti. They hit the balloon a few times with wooden sticks but it doesn't pop, instead, it gets knocked off of whatever is pinning it to the ground and ominously floats away.  

The hilarity of the family's screams and scramble to catch the balloon is only beaten by the dad trying and failing to jump a fence and someone in the background yelling, "Now we'll never know."

All gender reveals should end like this. 

Twitter had a lot to say about the moment:

Oh internet, never change.
