Reception
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Clarke expressed that his idea for the web series came after he had a conversation with his daughter and realized that if she were bigger or an adult, the things that she stated would more than likely be unacceptable to say. Clarke also stated, in an interview with the Daily Dot, that much of the humor is satirical: "Kids have this natural vulnerability about them, they’re these innocent, pristine creatures, in a selfish narcissistic way...David doesn’t have that. When you take away that innocence and you’re left with the narcissistic, selfish qualities, it highlights the absurdity of these interactions." The series also highlights the sort of relationship that parents can have with their toddlers.
Convos With My 2 Year Old became a success with nearly 800,000 subscribers. However it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it became popular as the owner of the Convos With 2-Year-Old channel has disabled viewers from seeing the stats of the first few episodes. The series has a majority of YouTube "Likes" rather than "Dislikes" and all have more than 44,000 views each. The first episode of the series currently has more than 12,000,000 views and is the most viewed out of the entire series. It is difficult to come across negatives about series because the YouTube channel deletes any negative comments on any of the videos and most articles are positive towards the series.
The series has no definite type of viewer, but it can be observed to be favored by an audience of parents with families. Many articles about the web series are under the "Family" and "Parents" category.
