"So You Want to Be a Baby Sitter" is a lot like the O. Henry story "The Ransom of Red Chief" in that both are about folks who get stuck taking care of a child who is essentially the Antichrist! In this case, Joe McDoakes is suckered into watching Junior (Billy Gray of "Father Knows Best" fame). During the entire evening, Junior torments Joe until eventually Joe's mind snaps...at which time everyone returns home to witness the horror.
While I found this one funny at first, as the film progressed I felt that the short actually crossed the line...going from comedy to sadism. The child wasn't just bad...he was evil...which isn't so funny. And, the joke at the end fell very flat. All in all, a bit of a disappointment. Perhaps you won't feel it crossed that line...but I can't see how you could find the final gag funny.
