On Thursday night’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ guest host Jennifer Lawrence unveiled the laugh-out-loud seventh installment of [everyone’s favorite evil prank](http://time.com/5007054/channing-tatum-jimmy-kimmel-halloween-prank/?xid=homepage): “Hey Jimmy Kimmel I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy”. Turns out, the joke is still funny. Once again, Kimmel invited parents to fake-out their kids by telling them that they ate all of their hard-fought [Halloween](http://time.com/5005371/florida-frankenstein-baby/?xid=homepage) candy ([trick or treating](http://time.com/5007018/stephen-colbert-trump-jr-halloween-socialism/?xid=homepage) is hard work, right?), capturing the results on camera for his audience’s viewing pleasure. And once again it turns out there are a lot of parents in the world who are willing to prank their children and stomach the results, sometimes literally in the case of the kid who threw a literal gut punch. There were tears, wailing, accusations of being “selfish”, and one particularly brutal kid who announced, “That’s why I don’t love you anymore.” Watch the latest “Hey Jimmy Kimmel I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy on YouTube” below.
