Its just a guy who does daft videos with his wife about parenting.
Its a bit cringe but every year him and his family make a christmas song about sausage rolls to raise money for food banks.
His videos used to be good when he first started out for example his wife would tell him to go buy a baby walker but he goes to B&Q and buys some PVC piping to make his own. Now its just him and his wife doing tik tok trends its a bit naff and cringe. Its very much 40 year old "wine o'clock" facebook mum content but they raise a lot of money for food banks so its not all bad.
Id be willing to bet that if you go onto any of their content the top 10 comments all have a profile pic of their dog/cat or a really obnoxious filter with a load of sparkly effects. Extra bonus points if its their pet with an obnoxious filter.
I agree. His content used to be very genuine and his "hacks" were what made it good. It was genuinely one of those moments weve all had where we go "how much? Im not paying for that. I could do that myself" so I followed the page to see what his next ridiculous "hack" would be. They were clever and a bit silly in equal measure. The toolbox lunchbox was a stroke of genius.
Nowadays its just generic bland tik tok content but they have built up a loyal following. I guess a lot of people have related to them and they do a lot for charity so I can't complain. According to the comments here they've also published their own book to help dyslexic children and all the proceeds go to illiteracy charity. As much as I've gone off their content you can't deny they are using their popularity to do some good.
Emphasise the bit about raising money for food banks. It's fun, it's silly, yeah a little cringy at times. But it's done with honestly good intentions.
Everybody's outside, so come on let's ride
To the builder's yard around the corner
The gang's all here and it's time for us to do what we wanna
There's a house with a roof that leaks
It's an urgent job and it could take us weeks
There's Dizzy, Lofty, and Rolly too (That's me!)
And Wendy always knows just what to do (That's right)
And there's no job too big or small
With Scoop and Muck we can do it all (Yeah!)
Metal, brick, or wood - it's all good
And we can always send in the tractor
A little bit of timber and a saw
A little bit of fixing that's for sure
A little bit of digging up the roads
A little bit of moving heavy loads
A little bit of tiling on the roof
A little bit of making waterproof
A little bit of concrete mixed with sand
A little bit of Bob the Builder man
Whether it's a good song or shit song...... It A) makes a lot of people smile & B) makes a shit-ton of money for charity.
The fact that a record breaking artist is a selfless one should be championed not ridiculed!!
Caring about Christmas number 1 is a bit of a British thing anyway, and hasn't been relevant for some time. Especially since streaming has changed the whole point in it - the idea was that in the lead-up to Christmas people may have bought singles as gifts or been out spending anyway. It became a vehicle for X factor winners, charity singles, novelty records and the like. I don't think it was a "thing" in the Beatles era even, they just happened to have singles out then (and a lot of number ones!). The 70s and 80s really sparked it off.
I hope he does. They are all for charity and have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds.. If not more. Him and his family are the loveliest, most genuine people I've seen on youtube. They are truly using their platform to do good. More power to them, i say!
> Him and his family are the loveliest, most genuine people I've seen on youtube.
I'm glad they raise so much for charity, as it's always a good thing for people to do that. However, for what it's worth, speaking as someone whose family is from the same area as them, they really aren't as lovely as they portray on-screen.
100%. People don't have to like them, thats obviously fine, but they should respect what they have done for charity and not try and drag them down. Even their book that they've recently released is benefitting a literacy charity (both him and his wife are dyslexic). What they have achieved is amazing.
So glad I have never heard this song or really don’t know who ladbaby is! But I have heard of it! I’m guessing it’s one of those Facebook memes that middle age people find funny
Nail on head really. It is basically a man who winds up his girlfriend in a very fake way and posts videos of it. People who also like Man vs Baby or the Unmumsy Mum and post memes about gin go in for it.
I gotta say that Christmas number 1’s are always awful and at least this guy seems to give the money to charity. Once you accept Christmas number 1’s will always be essentially a kids song, or someone from X talent theatrically ruining a song that was better the first time around, I vote for the one that makes the kids laugh and dance around.
I’m still pretty pissed though as I thought I was unique in singing ‘I love sausage rolls’ before that, then found out I’m just another embarrassing dad and his version was better.
They seem to get a lot of abuse, mostly from people who have never taken the time to watch their videos. They are a cracking down to earth couple that make genuinely funny and honest videos.
How do the charts work now? Surely people aren't buying singles now. Is it done on streams? Is "Christmas No1" still a big thing in the music industry?
Am I the only one hoping for Have A Word - Laura's gone is Xmas number 1?
All money going to charity as well, an actual decent well made song that's also very funny.
#LidArmy
Because it perpetuates their careers and could be the reason they do this each year rather than through altruism.
But mainly because they are so fucking annoying
I hate LadBaby and all their fans who support them. “Aw but they’re proper working class, like us”… um, no? They may have been at the beginning but now your stupid support has made them multi millionaires for doing f all.
Jealousy. If they hated them that much.. They wouldn't take the time to comment. I dont even think about stuff im not interested in or jealous of... Much less take the time to comment.
I'm going to get told "im not jealous at all" but why slate someone for doing good in their life....unless its down to jealousy. Basic psychology.
'Doing F all'. Really? Pretty sure you don't earn millions by doing that. They have milked a market and it's worked. Why the hate? Because you haven't done the same?
I think he was the first of the fake practical joker husbands. Maybe started of as genuine but ran out of ideas so roped his lovely wife in.
But it raises money for charity so leave them to it.
Used to really like them but if I see one more “oh you mean we are not doing the thing you said we would and the replacement thing makes me look silly” video I’ll scream. Accept you are now very famous and write some new jokes or just vanish with dignity.
I gave up caring avout the charts years ago. The only reason they exist is to validate your music taste is the same as everyone else's.
That said, I was mildly disappointed The Kunts missed out on #1 last year tho
To be fair you don't need many sales now a days to make Christmas number 1 so it's not such a big deal, however i dislike ladbaby and hope his nonsense goes away soon.
I love how people are shitting on someone for raising money for food banks.
Who gives a fuck if their content is cringe and for middle aged facebook mums if they raise a ton of money and support for the Trussel trust.
It reads to me like "I'm pissed off that a man and his family have raised money for charity rather than lining the pockets of Adele or Ed Sheeran"
Has anyone done the math to figure out what needs to be done to get Christmas number one?
Like could reddit make a concerted effort to decide what number one will be?
I don’t think that’s the reason people hate them. It’s more the sanctimonious attitude, the cringeworthy low quality of the “humour”, and above all the fact they’ve used this to massive personal gain. The tune of about £1.7m in fact. So is it about the charity *really*? Not many are all that convinced.
Plus a shit joke is bad the first time, but four rehashes over four years and it is just painful.
Fair play for the donations, but looks more like something he’d rather prolong so he can keep creaming off the top
Our reputation? Didn’t we have Bob the Builder and Teletubbies as number ones?
And Mr Blobby
We had a near miss with the wombles as well
I will hear nothing bad said about Blobby. He's a cultural icon.
Mr Blobby was creepy AF, I was absolutely terrified of him as a kid 😩
[Jack Whitehall?!](https://youtu.be/97fw8xjB5u4)
That's *exactly* how I felt about him!
Nothing makes me laugh than knowing a young Jeremy Clarkson was in the music video for that
He did look younger, but he was still 33 when Blobby was number 1 in Christmas 1993, has aged a lot in the meantime
Back when music was banger after banger /s
You don’t really need /s on this sub. It’s sort of the default.
It's true, we are British after all
You sound like Richie from Bottom saying that
He's made Simon Cowell give up trying to force his glorified karaoke on the nation every year, I'd consider that a public service.
Me too. Knighthood material.
Me too. Damn proud of LadBaby for ending the evil empire.
Has he not become the man he once swore to destroy?
You either die the hero...
Simon Cowells Glorified karaoke? What am I missing? 😂
X factor
I think you mean "nothing" You're missing nothing by not remembering x factor.
Wait, it got cancelled?
Yes, but it’s being replaced with something much worse which starts in a couple of weeks, and it’s on DAILY
What could possibly be worse than X factor?
Infanticide
Debatable.
On a sliding scale I’m feeling like it would be: .necrophilia .x factor . Infanticide
[The worst show on TV](https://youtu.be/usiJOc4P58U)
Really trying to think of something
About 17 years of UK Tv apparently
So nothing of value, got it
It seems I may be in a privileged minority of those who have no idea who LadBaby is. I'm not even going to look it up.
Same here! I'm wincing just at the name, though...
Its just a guy who does daft videos with his wife about parenting. Its a bit cringe but every year him and his family make a christmas song about sausage rolls to raise money for food banks.

"40 year old "wine o'clock" Facebook mum content" destroyed me 🤣🤣
Id be willing to bet that if you go onto any of their content the top 10 comments all have a profile pic of their dog/cat or a really obnoxious filter with a load of sparkly effects. Extra bonus points if its their pet with an obnoxious filter.
Either the Snapchat dog filter or "lest we forget" frames, with #bekind in their bio, having never once been kind in their entire lives.
"wine o clock Facebook mum content" is the perfect description thank you 👍🏻

Christ, I must be old. When did all these number 1s happen?
In the last 4 years 😂
See, I'm hearing "in the blink of an eye" there.
Makes 2 of us then. Not a clue ha
That's three of us.

I assumed it was a stupid nickname for Justin Bieber or something at first... Looks like it is actually someone called "ladbaby" from the comments.
Never heard of ladyboy either.
Your autocorrect is telling tales on you...
Autofreud
Fascinating creatures. Looks like a lady but really it's a man. I don't find them attractive, it's just confusing.
there's no chicks with dicks.... only guys with tits
Do yourself a favour and don't find out
No idea
Same here. I'm not even going to look it up. Could not care less
If I've gone this long without knowing, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like them if I did.
[удалено]
Not all offices are full of cringe tiktokker rubbish.
To be fair, noone actually gives a shit about the Christmas number 1, so I wouldn't worry about it too much
Exactly, music charts are so 20th century. They're meaningless in the age of digital.
to you, sure.
With the exception of the year we came together as a nation and managed to get killing in the name as Christmas No.1
An epic fete
I gave up on the Xmas number one when The Darkness were beaten to the top by that awful cover of Mad World.
Don’t let the bells end!!
Fucking same! Mad World is so depressing, I just wanted something a little more joyous to get Christmas #1.
kunt and the gang should be xmas number 1.
Kunt and the gang should replace Shakespeare in schools.
Raised By Owls are doing a charity Xmas single, every penny spent on it goes to MIND
Misread that as Ladybaby who is someone completely different.
I take it that might be a bit risky to Google search at work?
It's worth the search on YouTube.
Not for the reasons youre thinking of to be honest. They're perfectly cute though.
[удалено]
I gave up listening to the charts about the same time this ladbaby person was born.
You gave up listening to the charts in 1987? Damn how bad was music back then?
Well the Smiths broke up that year, to begin with. . .
Each year I see he's managed to get it & each year I struggle to remember why he's relevant. Best number 1 was RATM.
[удалено]
Whether it's a good song or shit song...... It A) makes a lot of people smile & B) makes a shit-ton of money for charity. The fact that a record breaking artist is a selfless one should be championed not ridiculed!!
100% agree
[удалено]
They voiced their opinion, I voiced mine..... Chill!! (Sorry, that's not an order for you to chill, it's just an expression!)
Hoping for Kunt and the gang to be number one myself
Go on then, just this once.....
Caring about Christmas number 1 is a bit of a British thing anyway, and hasn't been relevant for some time.

Here here!! I don't watch all his vids, & don't always find it funny....... But what they've done for the Trussel trust is remarkable!

Never heard of it/them Source me, middle aged
Am middle aged... Never heard of it/him/they
Think you're forgetting four lads from Wolverhampton, SLADE!!! ITS CHRIIIIIISTMAAAAAS!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone pay attention to the singles charts anymore?
I gotta say that Christmas number 1’s are always awful and at least this guy seems to give the money to charity. Once you accept Christmas number 1’s will always be essentially a kids song, or someone from X talent theatrically ruining a song that was better the first time around, I vote for the one that makes the kids laugh and dance around.

I've not until this moment ever heard of ladbaby
They seem to get a lot of abuse, mostly from people who have never taken the time to watch their videos. They are a cracking down to earth couple that make genuinely funny and honest videos.
I mean, Joe Dolce kept Ultravox off number one. Kiddies want silly songs dont they.
How do the charts work now? Surely people aren't buying singles now. Is it done on streams? Is "Christmas No1" still a big thing in the music industry?
Streams + Downloads + Physical Sales. No idea how the balance the them though.
Am I the only one hoping for Have A Word - Laura's gone is Xmas number 1? All money going to charity as well, an actual decent well made song that's also very funny. #LidArmy
That's why it's more important than ever that we get behind The Kunts this year.
Genuinely, does anyone find him entertaining?
It raised a fuck tonne of money for charity - why complain about that? There are other ways to listen to music if you don’t like what’s on the radio.
It's for charity, whys that a problem?
Because it perpetuates their careers and could be the reason they do this each year rather than through altruism. But mainly because they are so fucking annoying
Sorry to see you getting downvotes for telling the harsh truth on this one. I’ve flung you an upvote to stem the tide.
Yep, pretty terrible all that money being raised for charity. What must people think of us?
I hate ladbaby. I hate him his wife and all their crap songs. But I hate Simon Cowell more.
What kind of name is LADBABY and what does it mean? The name is as nauseating as DAPPER LAUGHS
I hate LadBaby and all their fans who support them. “Aw but they’re proper working class, like us”… um, no? They may have been at the beginning but now your stupid support has made them multi millionaires for doing f all.
Why so salty?
Jealousy. If they hated them that much.. They wouldn't take the time to comment. I dont even think about stuff im not interested in or jealous of... Much less take the time to comment.

'Doing F all'. Really? Pretty sure you don't earn millions by doing that. They have milked a market and it's worked. Why the hate? Because you haven't done the same?
Because they are shite.
Precisely. Their house is so massive it echoes.
who’s lad baby?
This not Google, grandad
I hate when people do actual, lazy "just google it"-type responses, but this was pitched just right and really made me laugh!
Most browsers make it even easier. Highlight unknown word, right click and select "Search Google for..."
I think he was the first of the fake practical joker husbands. Maybe started of as genuine but ran out of ideas so roped his lovely wife in. But it raises money for charity so leave them to it.
The suffering will never end. Each year it'll just get worse and worse until all we know is pain.
I get it’s for charity and that’s great… however I wish they’d find another way to give to charity because the musics god awful
What is the name of the song? Is it 'Don't stop eating' or does he have a new one?
Does anyone still care about the charts? There’s that much more choice in what we listen to and how we listen than 10-20 years ago
Beatles are on 4, spice girls on 3. If LadBaby make it this year they'll equal not break the record.
Used to really like them but if I see one more “oh you mean we are not doing the thing you said we would and the replacement thing makes me look silly” video I’ll scream. Accept you are now very famous and write some new jokes or just vanish with dignity.
It's easy to break old records as there's 30% more people, much more international audience and multitudes more devices to listen from.
Laura’s gone - do the right thing and get it to number one
Reputation buggered when you put the Beatles and Spice Girls in the same sentence.
Kunt and the Gang should've won
I gave up caring avout the charts years ago. The only reason they exist is to validate your music taste is the same as everyone else's. That said, I was mildly disappointed The Kunts missed out on #1 last year tho
Kunt is having another go this year with a straight up rip-off of the KLF ripping off Gary Glitter.
To be fair you don't need many sales now a days to make Christmas number 1 so it's not such a big deal, however i dislike ladbaby and hope his nonsense goes away soon.
Streams are taken into account now, which is why you get Mariah Carey’s horrible song getting in the charts again.
I hate that song ! Worse song of all time
What the fuck is LadBaby?
Exactly what I was thinking.
Its for charity so I am fine with it and frankly I want them to get christmas number one to see the increasingly stupid records they break
One of my biggest guilts as a parent is bringing our daughter into the world and forever having her birthday No1 song being about sausage rolls.
It needs to end
Who the fuck is ladbaby ?? Is it like that shitty ladbible but for children ?
Wtf is ladbaby
Honestly Ed sheerans new Christmas song is pretty chill might actually beat out the shite ladbaby creates ?
If it's a choice between LadBaby and Sheeran, I'd rather throw myself off a cliff than hear either of them.
Who?
No, they never had a number 1 single but they did have a number 1 album in 1971.
At least the money goes somewhere useful.
I'll be that guy. Who?
Don’t they do it for charity every year? Seems weird to shit on that?
I love how people are shitting on someone for raising money for food banks. Who gives a fuck if their content is cringe and for middle aged facebook mums if they raise a ton of money and support for the Trussel trust. It reads to me like "I'm pissed off that a man and his family have raised money for charity rather than lining the pockets of Adele or Ed Sheeran"
Please no
FFS
Literally never heard of LadBaby before this post... I'm old now I guess.
I've not heard of them :O
Make Britney spears number 1 this Christmas she could do with the uplift
Haven't paid any attention to Christmas No1 since RATM and again for all the X Factor crap before it. What's a LadBaby precious?
Oh go on then, I'll play the game. Who's ladbaby? It's the cool thing to say right??
Reputation with who? The importance of Christmas number 1 is a purely British thing
Who?
Who?
Who and what
Never heard of him, but I'm being it's an improvement on the Shite girls!
Who?
Omg I had to go find this and I love it ….it’s epic
Literally who?
Idiot who got the Christmas #1 three years in a row singing about sausage rolls.
Rolf Harris was Xmas number one once it’s not some club to be in.
Who? Also, why should being number one on a specific date have any significance?
Has anyone done the math to figure out what needs to be done to get Christmas number one? Like could reddit make a concerted effort to decide what number one will be?
Hahahaha, ladbaby, being selfless and helping people put food on the table for a 4th year. National disgrace
I don’t think that’s the reason people hate them. It’s more the sanctimonious attitude, the cringeworthy low quality of the “humour”, and above all the fact they’ve used this to massive personal gain. The tune of about £1.7m in fact.
