Comedian Jess Hilarious is sending Instagrammers into hysterics with a funny video about the realities of co-parenting at a time when social distancing is so important.
The 28-year-old single mom shares a son, Ashton, with her ex Romiie J. But while their co-parenting normally seems to go off without a hitch, the coronavirus pandemic has presented new challenges.
In a new video that she posted on Instagram on March 18, Jess is driving Ashton home when the little boy tells her that his dad took him to Chuck E. Cheese, several restaurants, and even the airport — and Jess looks like she’s about to lose it.
Real: Comedian Jess Hilarious is sending Instagrammers into hysterics with a funny video about the realities of co-parenting at a time when social distancing is so important
The comedian’s video, which appears to have been staged, has already been viewed over one million times.
She captioned it: ‘When you get your kid back in the middle of a pandemic.’
In the video, Jess is driving while Ashton is in the back seat, telling her about the time he spent with his dad.
‘You have fun at your dad’s?’ she asks him.
‘Yes. we went everywhere,’ he replies — and dramatic music plays as Jess’ eyes grow wide.
‘We went to Chuck E. Cheese, we went to Sky Zone. We went to a couple restaurants. And then we rolled past the airport to get daddy’s check,’ he goes on.

Oh no: He says they went to Chuck E. Cheese, several restaurants, and even the airport, and Jess looks furious
Drastic measures: At the end of the funny video, she orders her son — who hasn’t been social distancing — out of the car
With each place he lists, Jess’ eyes get wider, and a gunshot sound effect plays, finishing off with a siren sound.
‘You went… to a f***in’ airport?’ Jess asks.
‘Yup!’ her son innocently replies.
Something is brewing Jess’ head, and she seems to be breathing heavily as the beginning of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ starts to play.
‘Get out,’ she tells her son, kicking him out of the car. ‘Get out. Get out.’

Kidding! By all accounts, she and Ashton’s dad seem to co-parent well, and their busy weekend out and about seems to be a joke
The joke video captures what a lot of divorced and separated parents are likely struggling with these days: While one is dutifully following strict social distancing in an effort to avoid catching COVID-19 and spreading it to others, the other is ignoring suggestions from experts and doctors.
Naturally, this puts the child — and the co-parenting partner — at risk.
Instagrammers are loving the funny video, sharing dozens of crying-from-laughing emojis.
‘The blinking every time yo kid mentioned another place!!!!!! Get out?! Dyingggg,’ wrote one commenter.
‘Lmao I swear this is really life right now,’ wrote another.
