A French Comedian Staged A Video Of A Boy Receiving 'Mein Kampf' Instead Of 'Minecraft'

There is truly nothing quite like Christmas content. French comedian Yann Stotz decided to stage a video on his Instagram where a young boy received the book Mein Kampf instead of the game Minecraft from his grandfather, which is what he actually asked for. After the video was taken from Stotz's Instagram page without credit, it imploded on Twitter where it became viral, causing both the game and book to trend.

 
The minute the video hit the internet, it was all anyone could talk about.

 
Luckily, there were people on Twitter to help translate what was being said in French.


Heather Hughson @HNHughson Replying to @AlsBoy "What on Earth is this? Let me see *grabs book* No dad, it's mineCRAFT he wanted!" "He told me Mein Kampf." "*To self* How did he even find this? That's impossible! *to father* Dad, MineCRAFT, it's a video game for kids." The father just sitting there, unruffled, is so French

There was even this dark assessment.

 
Many did not know how to react.


Vladimir Hery @HeryVladimir So to understand, the kid wanted Minecraft game, but his dad understood « Mein Kampf ». I have mixed feeling about this: should I laugh or should I feel sorry for the kid ?

The video apparently had everything.

 
Some found themselves speechless.

Mostly many couldn't believe someone could make such a big mistake in the first place.

 
And others argued it could have been way worse.


It's Gonna Be Weary @ltsWeary Replying to @dadwithahat1 At least he didn't ask for 'Mein Kampf' and end up with Minecraft.

Still, the video garnered enough of a reaction to send both titles to trend.

 
And many found it to be an excellent addition to their Christmas Twitter timelines.

 
Fortunately the video was finally debunked by Buzzfeed News after the comedian had given an interview with the French newspaper <20 Minutes>.

 
While the backstory behind the video finally made the rounds on Twitter, many couldn't help but be entertained by it still.

 
One thing is for sure, this may wind up being a recurring problem.
