Watch this hilarious video of a US dad outsmarting his 2-year-old daughter... again!

In his most over-the-top reaction yet, father Jesse Merl and his daughter take turns weeping until she refuses to take her turn to cry.

The father-of-three told Newsflare: "This trick works every time to stop a tantrum."

The cute moment was recorded on Sunday (December 22) at their house in the Bay Area of California.
