Why anyone would listen to Jimmy Kimmel for gift-giving advice is beyond me, but he can sure turn emotional pain into comedy gold. For a couple years now, he has asked “Jimmy Kimmel Live” viewers to send in YouTube videos of them giving terrible gifts to their children during Christmas and eating all their candy during Halloween. Those video pranks have been so successful that Kimmel’s added another video challenge to his viewers for Valentine’s Day — filming them giving their wives or girlfriends the worst gift possible. I don’t know how many men got dumped after giving their wives and girlfriends these terrible presents, but the submissions are pretty funny to watch.
