Sean Spicer is Trump's dad in a 'Daily Show' parody of that BBC video

How'd he get in there?

It was inevitable, we suppose: that clip of a live BBC interview interrupted by a professor's two kids has now been parodied Trump-style.

The Daily Show's spoof puts Sean Spicer in the dad's shoes (although he's, uh, not talking about South Korea) and casts Donald Trump and Ben Carson as the children who gleefully burst through the door. And Kellyanne Conway -- a master of quickly diverting attention -- becomes the mom. It's all a spot-on, unsettling metaphor.

Now, this is somewhat of an insult to the mom and kids, who are a joy to watch and not endangering our homeland or civil liberties, but it's funny nonetheless. Also, weird to imagine Spicer as Trump's dad! Don't really want to think about that one anymore.

Oh well. Parenting is full of surprises, right?
