One dad got whacked in an especially uncomfortable area when the party popper meant to reveal the sex of his baby on the way blasted smack into his crotch.
Gemma Bayliffe Newby shared the painfully funny footage to YouTube on Monday, where it has since amassed over 26,000 views.

"From start to finish, everything that could go wrong definitely did," Newby captioned the clip, which began with a candid family moment in the living room.

"Shall we find out?" the mom continued, as the youngster jumped around with joy. Newby was also heard explaining to her daughter that an explosion of pink décor would reveal a new sister, while a blue blast would mean a brother.
The little girl counted down from three, as her dad struggled to pop a confetti cannon. Newby, meanwhile, was already releasing a bundle of blue balloons.

"Oh s---" he yelled, falling to the ground. The big sister-to-be couldn’t help but giggle, proudly clutching the balloons and sprinkling the confetti on her father.

"Why? I didn't want a boy!" she cried, tears running down her face as she got a hug from mom.
In a bid to lift her spirits, her parents pointed out that Peppa Pig, the star of the popular kids’ cartoon of the same name, had a little brother, but the kiddo didn’t seem soothed.

Interestingly enough, this isn't the first gender reveal to end in a party popper to the groin. In 2019, a dad-to-be in Tennessee suffered the same injury in a painful incident also caught on film.
