the lengths people will go to for a bit of attention is saddening.
Adeline Wild I was about to say the same thing. It's very sad.
yep
And money
money*
Where's GucciBerry?
Okay but who tf are these people
Liara Torres factssss they should’ve got TGF
What a thoughtless comment
Will Lloyd I think the point of this comment is to say that they're hurting themselves but not getting any recognition which is what they were initially going for? They hurt themselves for no reason basically
Tavauhni The way you described it made sense. The original comment just sounded petty and unremorseful.
Cross OveR have to agree with you on that one
I'm skeptical of the fact that they'd actually give this up because of this.
Wesley O. As long as people will do anything for attention people will do stupid shit
People will do ANYTHING for coins and clout, even if it’s life threatening
Same, they’re just giving up their career and way of gaining money just for this woman
“This woman” is the mother of a boy who went to my school. She is the strongest be bravest women I’ve ever met. I remember the day the entire school was directed to the hall randomly, the confusion and mystery behind it was crazy. Our teachers not being allowed to tell us. I remember the hall not being big enough to fit us in the hall, and so we were all pushed together in a hushed state. I remember the hall falling silent when we were told Jack had died. I remember his friends walking out in hysterics, where they might not have known or just couldn’t handle the truth again. I remember seeing Selina’s post about the “choking game” I remember all of my friends sharing the posts. “This Woman” has had to endure the hardest pain in the world: loosing a child. Loosing her boy. Her Jack.
You saying “I’m skeptical they’re giving it up because of this” is embarrassing. Think of the effect DEATH has. How the youtubers mothers would feel if they lost their little one.
purple Carrot I'm sure it was terrible for the mum but they do this every episode they say they will stop but who knows if they will
very strong woman, i wish her all the best in her campaign to ban these types of videos
Welcome to the internet this shit is child’s play hop on LiveLeak for a bit
No.
It's the parent who have to talk with their kids about this stuff. I mean you don't ban movies with violence, you make them unavailable for kids, but if they want to watch them they find a way. So it's important as a parent to say that's only for entertainment and not made to redo
We should do something about this, but banning the videos shouldn’t be allowed
I can't believe this woman is trying to blame these random guys for her poor parenting.
No different from the ones that want to ban videogames cause they instigate violence.
She's not brave, she knew her son was doing that kind of challenges and did nothing till she found him dead.
I'm glad she's sharing her story and she should make other parents know this is a danger their child might be facing, but trying to shame people into shutting down their channel is just.. Wrong.
anyone else hate pain challenges? like why tf do people think getting hurt is entertaining or funny
eyeeroh lmao yh
Because it is funny just because u don't find it funny doesn't mean other people don't
eyeeroh I don't get it either. I cringe so hard at stuff like that because I can almost feel it too.
eyeeroh XO :)
Nothing cracks me up like an idiot doing stupid things tbh
But who *are* these "TH-camrs"?
Yeah
i have the exact same question
The blond haired guy is Prochallenges
Peter bamforth is the brown haired one
Does it matter lol? They obviously ain't good enough to be known, why watch em?
If ppl with brains report them and they get demonetised, these ppl will stop. It's all about money.
Jemma J hey how about we delete your job too mate
Hugo X ... Why would it be a job for anyone to do stupid things? Its like letting drug dealers go cuz "thats their job", stop trolling
Jemma J
people can get money from youtube xddd
•Møchii UwU• of course you can get money from youtube and have it as your actual job, but some people go too far. doing these extremely dangerous things and not warning people is just foolish.
It's not their fault of some kid tries to imitate it
I don't even understand how people can enjoy videos like them
KingDomofSkeough You may call me sick... but I love those types of videos.
@@nipplebible305 same
I do, the ones like tgf are amazing
This comment section is full of sadists 😂
Zella right ?? Like holy shit I find people falling over and that funny but a dno how you can just laugh over someone passing out or cutting them self
uploads 1 video and called a youtuber
barry bee benson what’s his channel
One of them is Peter Bamforth and he's got loooooads of videos, been around for ages.
that is so clearly not the point
Asauz they’re talking about the woman
Yeah but the one video she did have went viral and has the dangerous passing out stunt, maybe people should just put a disclaimer out before uploading, I would be really upset if my son tried this :(
I have never seen these you tubers before is there a dark TH-cam
Kris Nicholson Well, it does sound like these videos are basically voluntary independently produced snuff movies... how the hell is torturing yourself for TH-cam clicks even a thing.
The-One-And-Only
That's some weak shit. The darkest I've seen gets real close to LiveLeak... though it was before 2012, when Google really started 'cleaning' things up.
LancesArmorStriking “that’s some weak shit”... I swear people who state that they’ve gone to sites like LiveLeak think they’re hard af or something
Kris Nicholson umm no youtube would never do that it would destroy their imago cuz lil kids would go there
There is *now*
This woman won't change these peoples minds. They crave attention too much. You can't change stupid.
Exactly
If I were them I’d delete my whole channel after this..
Agreed honestly
The blonde guy has.
I would delete myself
You brought in three idiots and made them a little more human.
Willow Taylor-Parry But humans are idiots..?
CanYouNot [] These ones especially, just making them a little less idiotic. Hopefully...
Willow Taylor-Parry just a little
When I was 14/15 I had a sleep over with friends and we did the ‘pass out challenge’ which wasn’t a challenge back then, TH-cam never existed. We did it just for fun, and one of the girls collapsed, hit her head on the brick wall as she was falling and starting having a seizure. Freaked us out, thankfully she woke up fine. We never did it again.
She had no recollection and never had seizures before that either.
Watching this makes me realise how bad that night could have ended. Scary
I'd literally heard or seen none of these TH-camrs before. Then again, I don't watch these stupid -suicidal- "pain challenge" videos.
"This is my friend jay, he died after cementing his head in a microwave"
"Joseph was only 8 years old when he accepted the 'Spend a night inside a nuclear reactor' challenge."
“I find it cool that someone would watch my stuff and recreate that”
WTF? Are you nuts?
Poor kid. That’s just horrible, I wish I could hug the mum, he looked like such a wonderful kid and I hope he’s in a better place now, I hope the mum gets rewarded for her amazing strength. This was such a hard watch.
I'm sorry but there's no "pressure to do this to stay relevant". You don't gain relevance like that, thats bulshit and you can't blame it on "the internet", its obvious they rather get easy views by shock factor than create interesting content,
Well said, I completely agree
Yeah they’re just desperate
I am so sad. Imagine what pain a mother has to bare when losing her child. I really think people should not humilate themselves and bring their lives in danger for some short-lived fame and attention... 😔😷
I've done the pass out challenge ... I got neither fame or attention did it for a laugh
The Galaxious 😭😭

Common sense. I’m baffled how people can be so dumb.
where's TGFBro?
First guy I thought of.
NuclearAtmosphere I swear, I was gonna say someone send this video to TGFBro
Magdalene Edos
No don’t their videos aren’t even that dangerous and this could stop some of the best entertainment on TH-cam
NuclearAtmosphere fr
Evan Holdsworth I know they do have the best content by far but just some of the thing the do are just a bit dangerous like when they took a bath in stinging nettles. But I feel like they have calm down. But TGFBro is the best at the end of the day
How much do you want to bet that they tried to get TGF bros on here
I can not fathom the pain of having your teenage son die from auto-erotic asphyxiation.
I need to make sure this is a joke and you don't think all suffocation is auto-erotic asphyxiation
He was a hard man, in the end of the rope.
I hope you are trolling lmao, that wasn't auto erotic asphyxiation
That's literally the plot of "World's Greatest Dad"
Not funny
Thing is though, none of these people are even big on TH-cam
Any big TH-camr would have walked out of the studio, but these minnows will do anything for a pay cheque.
Neither are you so why are you talking
Drastic oG the person wasn’t talking about him/herself. get a grip.
he could have been 19 by now. rip ❤️
I love how this opens your eyes, we all don’t know how one thing can change your life for better or worse forever
The boy who died (Jack) came to my high school and we have a big memorial. RIP Jack we all miss you x
But... Why ?
RIP Jack
4 years ago from this day
I had a classmate that passed away when we were only 12-13 from a similar challenge. We were all in shock because you never think it’s gonna be you or someone you know
how'd you find these people though
I'm watching this on his 5 year anniversary of his death. RIP Jack.
It’s funny to watch your friends throw up? No it’s not-
Yes it is
- My Pass Out Challenge Story -
I did the pass out challenge (didn’t run around a field, there’s a different simpler way to do it won’t explain how) I cannot believe it could of gone so wrong. I recorded myself doing it, I fell back onto my bed and practically had a fit on the floor. I remember being aware of what was going on and was able to pull myself out of it, it left me so confused. But i thought nothing of it apart from how strange it was (I’d never fainted, collapsed or am epileptic). I asked my friends why this happened and they said the fitting was actually because of the lack of oxygen getting to my brain. I’ve never done it since and especially after this I would not, it could of gone so different. Stay safe
Please do more of these videos they are amazing I love them !
Where’s TGFBro they should be here I’ve never seen these other people on TH-cam once
Gracee Lawson they give warnings tho
survival of the fittest man. i do not feel bad for these people at all. i feel terrible for the mother who lost her child, but if you die from lighting yourself on fire i can’t feel bad.
It's still funny tho ... I'd light myself on fire for a laugh
thomas rickards yeah it's all bants in the end I guess, cut my left bollock off just for giggles last week
You are a legend
he was still a kid though and we have to remember how impressionable they are. "Someone else can do it? AND they call it a "challenge"? Game on." If he was in his 20's or 30's and known any better, then I would feel unsympathetic but he was a child. If a baby swallowed a coin, you don't be like "oh well survival of the fittest" at least I hope you wouldn't.
Brittany Brown Not all kids take risky challenges like this but it isn't like he deserved it. If a kid dies it is sad for me. I hope if you ever have children you never have some dumbass telling you this if your kid dies. That is actually a very shitty thing.
This was heartbreaking, but a really really important video.
I probably wouldn’t do any of these challenges, but it’s open my eyes up to how dangerous these challenges are and how upsetting it can be.
“Hold your nose and breathe as hard as you can to make yourself pass out”
?
1:01
The blonde kid is like poundland brand jay from tgf
I'm loving this series
we need more of these videos
Watching this at 2:22 am makes all my feelings go extremely Intense :''(
Link to the channels?
This is one of the best videos i have seen. While I dont have first hand experience like this poor mum, I have always felt so passionately about this topic. Being a TH-camr you are an influencer and I hope these guys have learnt from their mistakes and can see that these kids look up to them but I dont think dangerous content should be allowed as it is not worth ruining lives over!
When she said he died from the pass out challenge I got shivers up my body
I agree with this Mom and feel for her. But my mom was playing the pass out game in the 1960s. Also he wasn’t filming himself. I am having a hard time seeing how TH-cam is to blame for his death
jack went to my school. its so sad what happened to him. 😢😢😢
Omg I just started the video but wow I had no idea these kind of challenges existed this is too crazy people need to stop during dangerous stuff like that
We need to have this kind of show in the states. I'm so sorry 😢 for this poor woman.
Natural selection.
a a they know there time is up , Esau is dying out ,low birth rates and drug over doses and dumb shit like this 😂
You make me sad...
Disgusting, that kid was 14
a fourteen year old going for a legal high by stopping his airways, pretty smart tbf
Not really. Natural selection refers to heritable traits. Stupidity and attention seeking aren’t really passed on directly through genetics.
I don’t know any of these you tubers lol
I'm so sorry for her lost and everyone else who lost there kids,family, or friends because of this
My friends always used to do things like this due to my anxiety and ocd I didn’t take part and I am very thankful right now for my decisions
At this point it is not anxiety, but your brain was processing the risks and you made the right responsible choice.
To me fear is only if it is irrational like people being frightened of small babies or of Ladybugs when there is no danger at all.
As I child I loved blowing up air beds at camp. Little did I know I was playing a soft version of the passing out game ^^
Our jack ❤️ stop the chocking game !
Much love auntie Selina 😘
That brave mum what more can I say .
I knew Jack, he was the kindest & funniest boy and it was such a shock 😪❤️🌹
The only thing I can say is
*why?*
You can tell how insecure and shy they are, they don`t kn who they are
love this series
My gorgeous auntie we all miss jack xxxx glade you helping people see i here again getting all upset xxx jack is so proud off us all and i do love my cousin and it still dont make sense love you lots xx
What's the point if this vid? People have been competing in the Darwin Olympics since the beginning of man.
LDNballer Darwin Olympics 😂😂 good one!
+1
That is what happens when your fourteen year old child dies and you want to spread a message: people make a joke about how your child died because of the Darwin Olympics. Just great.
Sofia Freire nope....I specifically atacked the purpose of the video....my point is that people will do stupid shit that gets them killed, this video won't change that.
LDNballer
The purpose of this video is to raise awareness about what people post on the internet and how it can negatively affect people’s decisions.
Comparing, in a jokingly way, people dying because of this challenges to natural selection implies that they aren’t good enough to continue living, be it because they are not smart enough, strong enough or just weak in comparison to others... That’s what Darwinism means. Your comment suggests that the fourteen year old died because of natural selection, which is just horrible.
What’s the name of there channel ? I have never heard them ?
jack scott The blonde guy’s channel is called ProChallenges
this made me sob thanks
Very interesting series!!!
im 25 and we used to play the pass out game back at school when we was 13 - 16... im amazed kids still play or even no about it lol
Narque always that one kid with an older sibling that teaches you new crazy games
I’m 47 and I remember it when I was 13.
crazy how such a silly game gets passed down.
People have been playing it for hundreds of years. You ain’t special
Narque how is it funny
Btec TGF
that blonde guy wants to be jay so hard
I hope this mom continues to make changes to help save the lives of other kids and help prevent other kids from similar fate
I remember I was in primary school when the pass out game was popular and I tried it with my friends, I’m so glad that what happened to him didn’t happen to me or my friends.
1 word: natural-selection
Danny K natural selection is two words
Maria 101 not two words if you use a - 🤔
Maria 101 yes but natural-selection isn’t
Makeoke _ but the hyphen doesn't belong there anyway
True
Am I the only one who gets scared when they see the shadow walking behind the screen???
This is a powerful series
The same thing happened to a boy in my middle school 2 years ago. Its so sad honestly, he was a good kid too.
SNORTING HOT SAUCE, ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! OMG HELL NO!!!!
This is just sad and stupid at the same time lmao
Jack died 4 years ago today. Rest in peace ❤
what are the channel names?
Everyone the blonde guy is called Ben and his TH-cam isn’t up anymore sadly it was deleted a few weeks ago
Mysteriously...
Does he have an Instagram or Twitter?
WhySo Instant yh both insta and Twitter : @prochallenges
How do you do the pass out challenge in bed?
HAHAHAHAHHA I just thought of that too!! XD
Im ngl i dont think he did the pass out challenge
You literally block your airways by choking yourself. I'm sure there's a "how to" out there somewhere....not that I'm encouraging anyone to do that, obviously. It can also be a sexual thing. I don't know if the mum said it but it was called "the choking game"
Rachel El it would be impossible to choke yourself and continue and die once you pass out... this makes no sense at all
topopops if you do star jumps and then curl up into a frog shape standing up and hold your breath, or something along those lines, that’s a way you can do it
Poor woman. Cant even imagine her pain. Crying for her. So sad words arent enough
This video made me cry
They aren't even as good as Jackass!
nobody will be as good as jackass
at this point it’s just natural selection
I've personally done the pass out challenge before and I was around 14 years old when I did. I remember we would take really fast deep breaths followed by holding our breath and having a friend press against our chest really hard until we pass out. One time I remember doing it and just one moment standing and the next waking up on the ground to see my friends frantic and crying. They said I had a seziure and they thought I was going to die. Never did it again and im beyond grateful I'm still alive after that.
So well spoken
Ok idk if someone has said this but WHERE IS TGF BRO 🤔
OK hold on why is tgfbro not here. Jay literally cemented his head in a microwave.
Omg i have just realised that i am watching this on the day when he died...2/2/2015 and today is 2/2/2019...
Rip young boy❤
@Kookiie T.O.P omg, I didn't notice that until I saw your comment....the mother is so obviously heartbroken; such a tragic way to lose a child. The fact that I randomly stumbled upon this video on the anniversary of his death....I can't express exactly how that makes me feel. It makes it a little more real perhaps? I know that it's just a coincidence, but it's sad to know that for this one woman, a mother on the other side of the world, even though she's a complete stranger to me, I know she will be in agonizing pain today.
I notice a lot of TH-cam channels which involve daredevils or people who do stunts in nature, gyms, etc. do have warnings; written and verbal. It really does help to know; makes it obvious that it's much more serious than just innocent safeish fun.
I don’t think you can blame you tubers for this type on incident. It’s like saying let’s stop making violent films cause it encourages people to be violent.. educate people don’t just hide it from then.
I would like to see more videos of pranks
Here are some safe ideas for pranks
For parent teacher interviews for kindergarten parents
The classroom has professional paintings hanging amongst on the walls. The parents see their child’s painting and suddenly feel less proud
Deaf people ask random strangers to please lower their voices
Blind people compliment random strangers on their appearance
😃💖🐴
Happy Horse lol I see on a bunch of videos I watch 😂 great minds think alike
Ella J thank you 😃
Happy Horse haha
First time i met my pal... i was sitting in front of him in a large public gathering hall....
He asked if i could move over cause he couldn’t see the speaker.
~ he is blind
Lol
What a prankster
I love the conversation about this because these pain videos are so dangerous. That mom is so strong and I feel so bad for what her and her family had to go through. I just truly hope these kids in the video take Jakes story seriously because I don't know if I believe they will do as they said on this video.
There are so many youtubers that do crazy things needs to be there
how do they know he died from the pass out game if he was found dead in his bed?
Fr by himself in his room i dont think he died cuz of tht
autopsy? marks on his neck from doing "the choking game"??
Evan Martin there’s another way of doing it that I used to do
I’m not too sure, but I think he was doing a challenge that the rest of his friends were doing as well.
I don't know if I would ban those videos but they probably should be demonetized
What's their channels?
Are those videos still up though?
