They say you should never work with children or animals, and if there's one thing we've learned from the likes of Supernanny, it's that that theory might just ring true: There are some serious juvenile characters out there.

Now, don't get us wrong, we know they're only young'uns, so we're not actually saying these kids are awful. In fact, we're really singing their praises: They provide us with the kind of laugh out loud entertainment that plenty of fame hungry half-witted adults could only dream of. That said, we're not sure we'd be able for them 24/7.

So here, without further ado, are just 4 of TV's finest and funniest 'child stars', who'd we happy hand back to mammy and daddy at the end of the day. We'll let the little'uns speak for themselves.

King Curtis - Wife Swap

Choice Quote: "Chicken nuggets".
Ain't nobody going to mess with this here young man's chicken nuggets and get away with it. King Curtis was the undisputed star of Wife Swap USA, and displayed wisdom that was beyond his years.

Honey Boo Boo - Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

Choice Quote: "Ain't nothing wrong with being a little gay. Everybody's a little gay."
We have few words when it comes to Honey Boo Boo Child. In fact, we have none. Just watch her, you'll get it.

Hugo - Child Genius

Choice Quote: "Mum has some intelligence"
Fair play to young Hugo. he's probably one of the cleverest kids in the world, but we're just not sure we could cope with his wit on a daily basis. He certainly puts mum in her place with ease...

Sophia Grace and Rosie - Ellen

Choice Quote: "Superbass"
Sophia Grace and Rosie went from YouTube kids to worldwide sensations after this little appearance on the Ellen show. The girls spend almost as much time in Los Angeles as they do in Essex, and sure hasn't Rosie even released her own single? Super cute, but there's no way we'd be able for 'em.

If only every TV child could be like John Joe.


Or Douglas. We'd love to have our very own Douglas.
