Top 10 Hilarious Thanksgiving YouTube Videos - TopX
#10: Surprise Thanksgiving
youtube.com/StuartEdge
Stuart Edge and co. are perhaps best known for their “kissing” videos, where they use magic or other trickery to get girls to kiss them. Their intentions in “Surprise Thanksgiving”, however, are a bit more dignified; they simply attempt to inform patrons in the library of all the things they are thankful for, including clothes, chairs, and cars. Of course, approaching random people isn’t enough – these guys sneak up on their targets and catch them completely off guard, causing several of them to almost jump out of their skin— which is what makes this video so funny.
#9: Visiting Home Is Weird On Thanksgiving
youtube.com/CollegeHumor
There comes a time in every person’s life when they realize that they need to get out on their own and experience the world – without the help or input of their parents. Of course, not every parent is ready to let go of their precious child. Returning home on Thanksgiving, this young man discovers that his parents have changed…and not necessarily for the better. While they are a little over the top, most of us can relate to the idea of growing up and changing. To be honest, we find it hard to believe that many college kids would have a problem with their parents smoking weed.
#8: Carving Your Turkey With A Sword
youtube.com/goodmythicalmorning
The moral of this story is simple, folks – as cool as it may seem, do not, I repeat, do not carve your turkey with a sword. Although the pair is able to carve off a few pieces of meat, using a sword to carve your turkey will likely result in you spending Thanksgiving in the ER. Believe it or not, the sword carving isn’t even the best part of this episode – when fans ask the boys for help on how to spice up their Thanksgiving, they visit them and literally spice it up with habanero and ghost peppers. Our favorite part is when the guys go full Canada, however – silly hats, sweet suckers, and booze pretty much sums up Canadian Thanksgiving…eh.
#7: Thanksgiving Etiquette
youtube.com/zefrank1
Is it your first Thanksgiving at your new boyfriend or girlfriend’s house? Are you looking for some tips on proper Thanksgiving dinner etiquette to impress your potential future in-laws? Well this video…isn’t for you. This video is pure comedic gold as Ze Frank (zay) explains the entire character of Billy based solely on how he eats his food and arranges his plate. We do have one question, however – why does Billy have a glass of wine? If there’s one thing to take away from this video, it’s this: if you do accidentally make a penis out of your food, make sure you quickly correct your mistake. It’s just good etiquette.
#6: California On Thanksgiving
youtube.com/KassemG
It just wouldn’t be a comedy top ten without Kassem G on the list. In this video, the comedian continues his “California On” series by asking Californians what they’re thankful for and what they know about Thanksgiving. The host’s blunt humor is on full display here, as he ridicules people for their limited knowledge of the origins of the holiday and mocks them for their claims that it started because of the pilgrims. Of course, several people were able to vaguely recite how the pilgrims and Native Americans came together to have a meal, although they seemed completely unaware of what actually happened… something Kassem is quick to point out.
#5: A Tiny Hamster Thanksgiving (Ep. 4)
youtube.com/HelloDenizen
Thanksgiving is all about enjoying and appreciating the simple things in life…good food, time with your loved ones, and hamsters wearing pilgrim hats. HelloDenizen’s “Tiny Hamster” web series has taken the YouTube community by storm. After enjoying burritos and a birthday celebration, it was time for these hamsters to experience a true Thanksgiving. A tiny turkey and bite-size apple and pumpkin pies are just some of the items on this miniature menu, which seems to satisfy both the chef and the guests. We still wonder, though – how on earth does he get hamsters to sit at a dinner table?
#4: Thanksgiving Prank – Pregnant Turkey
YouTube channel: Nerissa Hawkinson
Cooking Thanksgiving dinner can be a stressful experience; which also makes it the perfect time to pull a prank. The set-up for this prank is simple – place a small turkey inside of a larger turkey, grab a video camera, and watch it all play out. The prank could not have gone better – the daughter instantly believes that their turkey was pregnant, and that they had accidentally cooked the unborn baby. The execution is second to her reaction, however, which is the perfect mix of laughing and crying as she experiences a whirlwind of emotions. Even the dog gets in on the fun as the mother and sister laugh hysterically at her priceless reaction.
#3: “All About That Bass” Parody “All About That Baste” (Thanksgiving Song)
youtube.com/TheHoldernessFamily
The Holderness family has given us some gems over the years, but this video, which spoofs Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”, is easily one of their funniest. We know how hopeless most dads are in the kitchen, and Penn proves that to be true as he sings about being relegated to basting duties because he burns the pies, fails at making the stuffing, and can’t even set the table properly. Of course, like all good dads do, Penn gives his only job everything he’s got and nails it, basting the turkey to perfection. We’re also rewarding him points for some clever word play, although who really uses the word britches anymore?
#2: TurBaconEpic Thanksgiving – Epic Meal Time
youtube.com/EpicMealTime
Thanksgiving is a holiday that revolves around eating as much as you possibly can. Epic Meal Time is a YouTube channel that specializes in creating extremely high-calorie meals. Could you get a more perfect match? So what exactly is the TurBaconEpic? Well, essentially, it is turkey, duck, chicken, quail, and Cornish hen all together inside of a pig. Of course, don’t forget the multiple bacon strips covering each separate layer inside the pig AND more bacon strips covering the outside of the pig. The perfect garnish for this dish? Baconaters of course! In total, the dish ends up consisting of just over 79,000 calories. Now that is the definition of epic!

#1: Things That Ruin Thanksgiving
youtube.com/NigaHiga
One of the first major YouTube stars, Ryan Higa gave us this classic video back in 2011 with a simple premise – essentially, he runs through all the things that could ruin your Thanksgiving holiday. The video ranges from practical, such as all the men sitting around the television watching football and completely ignoring the family dinner, to hilariously absurd, such as your parents revealing that you are adopted, but it’s okay because they’re getting divorced. Ryan returned to the well in 2014 with a second “Things That Ruin Thanksgiving” video, which takes things to whole new levels of absurd but is just as hilarious as the original. Both of these videos show that, no matter what goes wrong during your Thanksgiving dinner, things could always be worse.
