Grandma’s awkward reaction to “ugly baby photo”
A video of a grandmother’s awkward reaction to an “ugly baby” has gone viral - but the prank has sparked a huge divide.
The grandma was filmed by grandson Stewart McGonigle who showed her a photo of the newborn.
After making a foul expression when seeing the baby, Stewart told her he was on FaceTime with the parents, causing his grandma to try and undo any offence she may have caused.
Fortunately, it was all a joke and he wasn’t really on video call, but the prank has divided those watching.
The viral video was filmed in Glasgow, Scotland.
“Oh nan look, Annie had a wean,” he says.
Glancing at the photo, the gran pulls a face and says: “Did she? Oh god.”
After her reaction, Stewart kickstarts his prank, telling her the parents of the child heard her.
Clearly embarrassed, she attempts to backtrack, saying the baby is “nice” and then asking Stewart to take the phone away.
While many thought the video was hilarious, others said it wasn’t funny to laugh at someone’s baby.
“Not funny. That’s someone’s baby your laughing about,” one person commented.
“Aww that’s so cruel,” another wrote.
“Awww, whose baby is this though? Imagine your baby being used for TikTok,” one mum agreed.
Despite the controversy, many labelled the video “hilarious”.
“Hahaha Scottish grans are precious, brutal but precious,” one said.
“That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in along time,” someone else agreed.
“That face when she says ‘oh gawdddd’, am crying,” one wrote.
The baby photo prank has been making the rounds on popular app TikTok, with many being fooled just like Stewart’s grandma.
