Defunctland: Kid Cities

The kids immediately realizing that manager is the best role because they do so little in most places is so poetic

Imagine clocking out of kid world and the ride home just depressed cause you lost it all at the kidsino

"Each job lasted between 15 and 45 minutes", that's my dream 😭

A) This is super cool b) This is 100% the setting for a FNAF style horror series c) These poor, poor theatre students who worked at these places

My daughter went to a Kidzania. She asked for the job of 'Mob Boss'. So she tried to convince kids to rob stores for her. Which worked.

“My little one’s a doctor! Which is yours?” “I think my kid is planting narcotics on a suspect for a harsher conviction”

When my class went to Enterprise City in 6th grade, the main law (aside from not stealing) was to not go on the "grass" (astroturf) in the center of the room. Pretty much as soon as they let us loose, one of my classmates promptly started running in circles on the grass shouting "CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE!!!!!"

The main thing this impresses on me is that if you give a child adult responsibilities, they will very quickly adopt adult solutions to meet those responsibilities. For better or for worse.

The fact that kids figured out how to commit robbery, bad checks, and kidnapping is hilarious.

I was a defense attorney at exchange city. The judge quickly realized her salary was paid by fines and decided to find everyone guilty. My salary as defense counsel was also paid by fines so I just stopped trying. I’m an attorney now.

"he responded, incorrectly, baseball player" fucking hell man lmao

40:30 “Bianca’s party guests became sickened by the sight and had to leave the tiny OR. Bianca simply shook her head in annoyed disappointment, quietly concluding ‘She’ll never become a doctor’, before continuing on with the surgery.” That little girl stood on BUSINESS.

I like the realization that this is just your average ROBLOX map with extra steps and an astronomical budget.

The "prove it, lol" kid is a natural-born lawyer. I'd hire him.

I did a biztown in Atlanta in 6th grade and it was the best day of middle school by far. The main volunteer running it was a retired Home Depot executive and he was soooo into it. I was the bank (suntrust of course) manager and it was going smoothly until the computer went down when we were backed up and I had a moment of sheer panic and the guy was like "GET PAPER LEDGERS AND START TAKING RECORDS!" Once the computers came back up I had to spend an hour checking to see if anyone tried to overdraft. During lunch someone mentioned that Mayor Sarah didnt actually do anything so the guy suggested we hold a referendum and we voted her out, she heard about that all the way through highschool.

The humor is so low-key that if you were listening without paying attention you wouldn't think this video is the laugh riot that it is. 👏

"And how much money do you make?" "$450." "And how much have you spent of it?" "$550."

1. Get drunk. 2. Pretend to be giants. Kevin has discovered the two basic human desires.

Japanese KidZania locations are still going so strong that it’s said the amount of research/prep/queuing necessary to get into activities rivals that of Disney😂

Some of these unhinged earlier ones sound so much more fun than what we have now. Like, I worked at Kidzania, it’s great honestly it’s an awesome place and the kids love it, they love being taught how to participate in capitalism, but like. Being able to arrest other kids? Robbing banks? A whole court staffed with kids with different goals? That sounds incredible
