Christmas Freak Out Pays Off

By on December 24, 2010 in Ideas

Sometimes it pays to freak out. An Ohio boy’s over-the-top reaction after receiving a Wii game system for Christmas three years ago has turned into a tidy little side business says the Hamilton Journal News.

Since the boy’s father posted the reaction video on YouTube three years ago, he’s made almost $5000 in royalties.

The video shows 12-year-old Matt King run through the gambit of reactions—laughing, crying, vomiting—after receiving a Wii from his parents. The Journal News says King’s father warned him that there was no turning back once the video had been posted. Turned out to be quite a good gamble.

    Almost $5k in 3 years is nothing to quit your job over, but it is definitely something. I’m not into posting my family videos online, but it never ceases to amaze me just how much money someone can make from a short moment of humor.
