In the TH-cam age, the definition of "prank" seems to be "sadism with a camera pointed at it".
+MCDexX Absolutely true. There's a similar misuse of the word joke, too.
Well, it worked well enough for Christopher Walken.
+MCDexX BDSM porn amirite
There's an annoying subculture of "comedians" that think provoking a response, ANY response, is the same as being clever, that any mean-spirited act can be excused under the banner of "It's just a joke," and that criticism is censorship.
There are far too many radio hosts that 'prank call' people. Write a god damn joke! You are supposed to be a professional for the love of everything holy!
-Shawn
And a bunch of them are alt right trolls, palling around with neo-nazis. Messing with protests and actions. I've peek at some of their work and I want to kick their ass so bad, but they love hiding behind cops and laws that take their side.
bully 101. Provoke someone until he punches you and then say why did you hit me, it was just a joke and get the guy whom you have bullied punished. provoking someone is basically asking to get punched . Don't act surprised if people get aggressive. After all it's what you want if you do it.
I was just joking is the bully national anthem.
honestly someone tries to pull my headphones off of me and then screams "It's a prank" while I kick their ass and I would probably grab their camera, smash it to bits and say "It's a prank".
one time I walked into my room and my cat got scared and rolled off the bed. I FUCKING PRANKED HER WHAT AN IDIOT.
I just ate a bucket of rusted nails! HAH! OWNED MYSELF! Prank MASTER!
Just killed a guy HA WHAT A LOSER PRAAAAAANKED!!!!
Good pranks guys!
That does genuinely sound kinda funny (and incredibly adorable).
pixel girl yeah
I gave my wife a big box for a vacuum cleaner on our anniversary... She sort of smiled and said thank you and looked a little disappointed until she opened it and found a new laptop that she REALLY wanted. She was absolutely thrilled! My pranks end up making her happy. I hate mean pranks.
You the man!
That is a nice prank, unless you drag it out for too long. There are people that videotape the whole thing and ask the person (usually child) why they look unhappy with it and laugh at their uncomfortable or upset face. And then, sometimes they get another gift, after about 8 minutes, which I hate because it shows that it was all done for the views.
@@Widdekuu91 - Yeah... I've seen those videos and agree with you. Filming stuff like that just seems a little mean to do on a public forum.
Sorry gang, we had to repost the video due to a technical issue.
Jovan Dragojlov whoa.
+Cracked awwww...you pranked us!
+Jovan Dragojlov my world is...cracked
+Cracked The ending of this video sucked. You're points were good though.
+Cracked Was it the eye damaging background in the start of the video?
This video needs to be seen by a whoooole lot of TH-cam prank channels. Especially Vitaly.
***** What?
+Maui Randall it took me awhile but i think i got it
totes agree!
+Jester Azazel Lol they know their pranks are friggin stupid. But it doesn't matter, they're getting paid out the ass for them. Also, like 75% if not more of these are staged. ESPECIALLY those "in tha hood" pranks.
Rav Enj Well I mean... they are humans that have lives. I don't think they deserve to get shot, but they're not good people.
In my opion a prank should be funny for both parties, mabye not instatantly but should at least be considered fun in the long run
lordofdarkdudes
That's pretty much the barometer for pranks; that & whether it's illegal or not is the basic standard for whether it's a prank or a crime. I am a firm advocate for prosecuting such criminals to the full extent of the law.
I imagine that compared to the costs of hiring legal defense, being criminally & civilly charged, any restitution/fines ordered, etc. will be far more costly than any financial advantage gained through doing this.
Adam
And the object of the prank should find your pranks funny the first few times, not after years of building up a Stockholm syndrome-like tolerance to your bullshit.
"Hey, lady, are you all right?"
"Yes, I'm fine. He just likes to joke that way. I deserved to be pranked. I deserved it."
"Lady, that ain't no joke like I've ever seen. I'd call the cops, but this unfortunately still falls within the limits of legal douchebaggery."
"It's funny. Isn't it? Yes, it is. Joey thinks it's funny. He put it on the internet."
"Guess it can't be that bad then. If it's on the internet."
the only time a prank shouldnt be funny to the victim is the victim is a royal douche who pulled some seriously fucked up shit.
Like when this kid at my high school 'pranked' a kid with a severe phobia of clowns by putting an Penny Wise mask (Stephen King's IT) in his locker, and the poor kid freaked out so bad he ended up in a pysch ward for 6 weeks.
Well the asshole got 'pranked' himself, when someone 'accidentally' dropped a 5 pound math textbook on his head from the top of the third floor landing.
Very funny, haha.
Actually i should note, the both the original 'prankster' and the Vigilante Prankster ended up expelled and facing criminal charges.
That's not a prank tho, that's violent revenge.
A great prank that is actually a prank: If you work somewhere where there is a break room buy two boxes of a dozen muffins. (Donuts or cupcakes work too.) Hide one box somewhere in the break room and put the second box on the break room table. Through out the day pop into the break room and replace any muffins that have been eaten. Eventually someone will notice and start asking everyone where they are coming from. If they ask you pretend to not know and say, "That's really weird." Once people start noticing, start not only replacing the muffins, but putting out more muffins than there was to start with.
Great prank because, a.) No one gets hurt or upset. b.) When everyone finds out you did it they won't be mad because you bought everyone snacks. c.) If anyone eats half a muffin it looks like the muffins are multiplying through mitosis.
+Mia Couch
This is excellent.
Nicely done! That's funny and *everyone* enjoys the result with no one getting hurt!
Mia Couch don't you have work to do? wtf? lol
I agree with everything but especially with #2. Those bullshit "kissing pranks" are too much like sexual assault and need to stop.
+Remy Blas *Cough cough* That Sam Guy *Cough cough*
+_ VernerL _ nah everything was staged there , all the women / men knew that was going to happen .
I wouldn't call it assault if the guy asks for it and the girl gives consent. It's just an annoying type of video.
+Remy Blas I don't understand what the whole idea is - do they just go "hey, wanna kiss?" and then do it?
Or do they go "close your eyes for a sec" and then do it (which is obviously wrong).
+Remy Blas I would be careful bandying about words like "sexual assault"; in the overbearingly-PC, Third Wave Feminist-dominated age in which we are eventually, inevitably going to live, such talk could result in executions.
I know, I'm so sick of seeing pranks going sexual, it needs to end

theMRsome12
It was a goof, not a gaff
I really like this video. Seriously, it's not a prank if someone reacts rationally to your bullshit (thinking you're a sexual predator/thief/racist harasser). Harassing people in the "hood"? Even if the "prankster" didn't just harass black people anywhere, do they mean harassing people in poor neighborhoods? Why would you specifically target poor people?
I like pranks, but I don't actually like the ones that make people look or feel stupid. I just like it when expectations are subverted in a comical way. That, I believe, is the essence of verbal jokes as well; you're not an idiot if you don't guess the punchline right away, you are happily surprised.
Why make jokes if you don't want to make someone feel better? No need to be mean.
I would like to hear from they guy who posted that pranks gone wrong in the hood video explain how it was supposed to go. That would make my day.
Well said. I agree that subverting expectations are the key to it being comedy as opposed to just being annoying.
Well I liked your video.
I think you managed to explain why I've *never* been a fan of practical jokes-- ever.
Although I might try watching some of the Pranks Gone Wrong because it feels kind of like poetic justice.
not even prank calls?
Pranks who actually are pranks by definition are funny, even prank calls. But if you're just being a jerk on the phone, that's not a prank either and it's not funny.
+I. Wyrd I guess you've just never seen real pranks if you've never once found them funny, so you can't really say that you've never found practical jokes funny since you've never seen them.
un less you convince them that there fridge is running away XD
I. Wyrd Well, this video showed what wasn't a practical joke though.
I enjoy the prank calls on scammers and other degenerates. Because they deserve it. But when it's against like businesses and stuff, it's not that funny
People say sarcasm is the lowest form of comedy, I say pranks are the lowest.
+hyperdeath84 Also, if you guys at cracked haven't seen them, I recommend H3H3 Productions as they've done a few videos on this very subject which are pretty damn funny.
+hyperdeath84 Pranking is pretty low on the list. But I'd say pound-for-pound punning has to be the worst. For every stupid, mean, bullying prank there's a million terrible, non-funny puns told. And pun that works is usually just mildly funny. A decent prank that works is usually a lot funnier than a second or two of wordplay.
ldobehardcore Puns are silly but harmless, pranks are usually mean spirited.
+hyperdeath84 Sarcasm may be the lowest form of comedy, just because pranking isn't comedy at all. The good ones are tricks messing with the mind in some way and the bad ones are just bullying or stupidity in action or both at the same time.
I'd even argue the sarcasm being comedy, because whenever there's a victim in any way, it isn't a joke anymore.
hyperdeath84
Fair enough.
This guy I work with who thinks he's sooo cool put my stapler in jello. He also moved my desk to the bathroom and put all my stuff in the vending machine. If he put any of that effort into his job he might be half as good a salesman as me. Idiot.
Damn it Dwight!
+krampus he put stuff IN to a vending machine? How?
+Philly Cheese That's a ridiculous question.
+Kaunte Apparently he's friends with the vending machine maintenance guy.
+krampus This post is funny to start with then add the fact that people dont get it makes it hilarious.
So accurate, I know like, 5 fools, and they say dopa dopa doo all the time.
That was the funniest thing I've read all day. Well played, sir!
I was in a Target when a guy with bad acne walked up to me and asked if I could pop his pimples. I said no and walked away. I went back to the shelf, grabbed a box of cereal, and behind it was a video camera that a guy was trying to hide. 10/10 harassment prank
Spongebob did the best prank of all time when he only used one ice cube instead of two. They really need to step up to that level or not even both calling it a baby prank.
_"It's not a prank gone wrong, it's being a jerk exactly right."_
Well that sums the so called "pranks" up. A prank is something where at the end both sides can laugh and nobody has any sort of loss (monetary, emotionally, physically etc.). And yelling at the end of a stupid prank "it's a prank, it's a prank" doesn't make that stupid shit right or even a prank.
ldobehardcore
Well, ouch. ^_^
Hope that gave him a life lesson. It's like people feel so save and cushioned in the 1. world nations they don't realize how malicious they act. It seems that this particular stupid "prankster" didn't think of the fact that you thought it might be a theft.
After all, joke is on him. Be save and watch out for "pranksters". :)
What ever happened to the smart pranks?
Ya know... The ones that took imagination and effort.
Like the balloon cake?
You make a cake, cut the center out of the cake, put an inflated balloon in the cake, cover the balloon with frosting and then present it to your friend.
When your friend goes to slice the cake, the balloon pops and scares them.
You both have a good laugh as you share the cake center.
Even worse the cake is a lie
***** I don't even bother with that shit!
A prank is only ever a prank if the pranked party is laughing at the end with you.
I think a good prank should be something that the person can look back on and laugh. So basically the first video you showed.
+TrevorSpace Animation like improv everywhere
+TrevorSpace Animation He summarizes it well, someone should have to question their reality. The best pranks in my opinion are ones that cause someone to be under the IMPRESSION, that their reality has somehow been affected negatively in some permanent sense, but upon further thought, or with a clever reveal, realize it to be an illusion. Of course, don't do this to strangers, that's stupid.
I agree, the first one seemed perfectly fine bc its something I'd laugh at once it was shown to be a prank, but everything else he said was pretty spot on.
Im so, so sick and tired of these sexual harrasment pranks and the fact that the most popular 'prank' trend is harassing and upsetting black people,, and the worst part of 'Haha I pulled a black dudes pants up/down', 'I called a black person the n-word', 'I wore a KKK outfit in a black neighborhood LMAOOO!' videos is, that if the black people react negatively to something that they did ON PURPOSE to make them react negatively, the comments will be filled with racial slurs and 'this is why people dont like blacks' and shit, its ludicrous!
Cracked have nailed this :)
Yes they sure cracked the code for this ;)
Dopa dopa doo.
I've felt this way for a LONG time. Thank you Cracked, thank you.
Thankfully I didn't know that these "pranks" were all over TH-cam now. And yes, saying and doing awful things, then having people react normally, is not a prank in any way. If I went to a convenience store and stole something, then when I got caught, could I just say "haha, you've just been pranked!"
Why do I want to listen to you? Because you're right and you make a good point.
Honestly that sneeze trash can thing is the only prank I've seen in a very long time that was ACTUALLY a good prank
I think the best motto to consider when thinking of doing a prank is "confuse, not abuse"
Does your prank cause physical or emotional harm to the person or their property? Probably shouldn't do it
Does your prank cause the person to think to themselves "what just happened" or "what is going on"? Prank away
One of my favorite examples is the prank in jackass (not the best example but hear me out) when a tall fat guy walks into a store and asks a stranger to hold his dog. But the person who comes out is wee man wearing the same clothes and says "thanks" and walks off with the dog. The looks on the strangers' faces were hilarious!
Very true, not a lot of prank channels that aren't just being dicks to people and/or outright fake pranks using actors.
There was one of a guy pulling a gun on his girlfriend for wanting to go out in revealing clothing. I just don't get how making a person genuinely fearful for their life like this could be considered funny, especially as plenty of people in the world have been killed by abusive partners.
Sure, the 'prank' might be staged, I don't know - but if so it's still pretty crass to depict a scene of domestic violence and call it comedy.
Cody this is one of your better videos. Your persona is spot on with the subject. you present the material very well and the points are spot on. I have quoted this video since it came out. The information is very communicable. Great job. By the way..... this is my FAVORITE end plate you have done.... after that character has been on screen for that long, hearing that kind of condescending tone fits the video perfectly and you phrase it perfectly. "you're you're own person and I'm just a guy" you got a chuckle out of me with that one.
Lol those "In the hood" pranks... "Hey Jeremy, don't you just hate the blacks?" "Sure do, Dirk! We should make other people hate them too." "Let's paint them to be violent criminals via internet 'pranks' and get rich in the process!" (How the idea was born.)
Thank you Cody. Thank you.
Eva Stetler your welcome
pranking takes time & effort. being a jerk takes no effort & if you put a lot of effort in that then you're a sadist
You're literally saying pranksters are sadists
Joey wise no you're a sadist if you think punching someone in the face with a hidden camera with you counts as a prank
+SmashLiXs I never disagreed with you, I was asking if that's what you meant
+SmashLiXs in a weird way
Joey wise didn't know you were asking
I totally agree with this video. For instance one thing that wasn't mentioned was the gallon smashing. I mean it's a stupid and pointless thing to do. All you are doing is making a mess that someone else has to clean up, disrupting other people and really only making a fool of yourself. There is a line between a clever and interesting practical jokes and just mean-spirited harassment, and often times too many people cross it.
Speaking of pranks going bad, have you guys heard about that time the host of Candid Camera took a plane to Miami, but then the plane got highjacked and someone recognised him and everyone thought it was just a big joke.
Unfortunately, there will always be jerks who like to annoy people.
if only they weren't paid a few thousand dollars per each video that exceeds a million views.
hachiiya
Yes & no, my solution is relatively simple, practical jokes are not illegal but much of what's called practical jokes is illegal.
What should be happening is every single time these numpties do this to anyone, the victim/police should charge them; anytime they upload such crimes, they should be charged.
I don't get this, the moment you touch anyone's body without consent &/or attempt to remove any property from another's possession, you've committed assault or theft (or one of its variants).
Trust me, if one of these fools attempted such things to me, they would seriously regret their life choices! I have a giant service dog, expandable asp baton, deafening air horn, considerable experience in armed & unarmed combat...
The only question left would be will I break their arm &/or leg with my baton or the dog's teeth clamp around the "joker's" arm 1st. I'm nice though, as long as they don't resist the dog &/or attack/further endanger the dog or I, I wouldn't hit them after the dog has them. Without a doubt, the police would be called & charges pursued in such cases.
I would also charge & sue them onto oblivion for every instance they uploaded such video/images of their crimes.
To be clear, if it's just a prank without illegal acts, then I certainly would not take the above route. Pranks are fine, it's the illegal BS I am firmly against.
For example, filling someone's pool with jello or dye is not a prank, it's destruction of property & should result in the prankster being forced to clean everything up manually & pay any costs required for professional repairs or replacement of their damage.
Kissing/ touching someone or taking something without consent is not a prank, it's a crime. Putting a fake spider on a door or the like, so that the victim gets a bit scared or feels foolish is a prank (unless ongoing bullying).
It's a crazy world we live in... But all that ad revenue would not come close to the actual real life costs the offender will incur following such ill advised "pranks"/crimes.
C'est la vie.
Adam
This video encapsulates most reasons I roll my eyes at people who take pride in calling themselves "an influencer" as what they do for a living. Love you Cody. RIP Cracked.
This is Cody's best video.
+Jacob Estes its a masterpiece
Hahaha, it's just a social experment (sic).
This is everything that I have wanted to say for such a long time. YES.
I want to like this three times.
I think about this video a lot. And the service Cody provided. Thank you, Cody.
it's just a prank, Han....
4.0 bitch.
+Touko S i was quoting until dawn, bro lol
"understand the palm of my hand, bitch!"
+theultimateusukfan the other person was quoting ultil down too..... emily says that when she is fighting with jess......
+PaylorTheLizard Yes, but remember that you can choose the dialogues changing the conversations and surely him no habet
+Ema Logan xD oh ok.
The columbine massacre was actually the greatest high school prank gone wrong ever.
I think this is my favourite video on this channel to date. I just really like the structure and humour, some cracked videos can feel a bit draggy or too short and others can have forced humour (I enjoy them all anyway though) but not this one. Good work, guys.
I remember seeing a "prank" video that just consisted of a guy with a flamethrower in a park terrorising people. More people should see this video.
I think the fun in a prank is when it is ruined, the curtain lifted and all of the tricks exposed, whether they got hit or not. It is fun when it is dismantled.
Julian Franswaa Yes! I liked those shows as a kid where they would set up a prank and show you how it was done and stuff. Also, like Penn and Teller sometimes do, when they show you how they do certain magic tricks.
I love when I'm about to do something potentially horrible, but just obvious that only one person notices me and exposes my joke to the rest. I don't actually want to cover my friend in viscera, I want people to find joy in stopping that.
dopadopadoo???
That's what a *fool* says
Thank you for presenting this in a way that was both thought provoking and entertaining. I am often in the situation that someone wants me to watch a prank show on TV or an internet video that they think is funny but I empathize with the victim and see it as just mean.
This video unironically deradicalized me. Thank you Mr. Showdy. In a way, it was the greatest prank of all.
Still brilliant.
Everyone needs to see this
I love this! Thank you for the awesome content that you continue to upload!
This is a very much needed video! Great job! :)
I'd 100% beat up someone for most of those damn pranks
that's why they have a crew hiding there to stop you from killing them, and they pay you and make you sign a release. i do think you could beat them up 200%. and still be legal.
Saying the word "nickel" and then having black people get up to kick the shit out of you does, in fact, make those people look foolish.
They're so ready to hit a guy over a word, they'll get up to hit him over the word nickel. That is how a fool would act.
+Kyle B Its a racial slur, dude. Its not like he said just some random word with no meaning. You obviously have never had to deal with them, and I'm not saying that's a problem, that's great that you haven't, but don't judge people who do have to deal with them and react when someone says them. Especially in cases like this where the douche is doing it deliberately.
younger544 All this does is tell people that, if you say the word nickel around black people, you should expect to be assaulted.
Those people who reacted to the word nickel are fools. Full stop.
Cammie Hagins So?
Cammie Hagins Flying off the handle at the words of a stranger is not justified. I don't care what they think they heard, even if they were right, their reaction is not justified.
YoSeriousLee Because I think people getting violent over words are foolish, I must be completely ignorant.
I mean, only ignorance would lead to a position of, "Violence is bad." What an ignorant stance. Silly me.
I can't express how much I love this video :) thank you!
Have I really been watching this man for 6 years?
how does Soren maintain such perfect, innocent, masculine beauty... with all the abuse he suffers? Poor Soren. Betchya they didn't even have a pillow for him to land on. Betchya they didn't even poke him in the shoulder, after, and say, "Hey... man... are you... like... okay, n shit?"
lilgrasshoppah
Did I miss something? When did an actor get hurt, specifically soren? I can say as both a medic & person that has been injured at various points in my life, it does not help to poke that hurt spot & ask if it hurts...
Sure, professionals palpate the area but that's not to ask does it hurt, it's so we can feel the tissue & check for abnormalities. Indeed, good professionals deliberately seek to cause the least amount of pain possible.
For example, you can always tell a real decent professional from a hack or fraud about to give an injection by whether or not they pay close attention to the tip of the needle & carefully align the point of needle to enter 1st so as to cause less damage & pain.
Another trick is to lightly touch the skin with the tip of the needle & asking if they feel a sharp prick, then quickly injecting the spot they report not feeling it & is between the superficial nerve fibers. However, the best cue still is whether they properly align the needle point with the injection site.
If you are getting any sort of needle in your spine, brain, joints, muscles, etc. but they don't pay close attention to the proper alignment of the initial puncture, then immediately stop the procedure, run screaming away & find a real competent professional to do that.
No joke, the fact remains that the majority of such injections are utter failures that can & do cause serious consequences, even in the hands of trained professionals! It takes very special skills, training & ongoing practice to be able to competently & reliably perform such procedures.
As a medical professional myself & having witnessed countless such procedures &/or professionals doing such procedures, I would not trust the vast majority of medical professionals to touch me with so much as a needle!

Cody fake-punched Soren at the beginning of the video.
When you put "prank" in the title of your video you should have to watch this before it's uploaded.
easily in my top 3 cracked people but you were pretty dark as hell here, man! still loved it. need more of you Dan obrian and swaim. you hit the nail on the head about this pranking phenomena.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. I find my self referencing it more than I ever thought
ok so I'm binge watching all these older cracked videos and I can't help but notice codys very red sort of glazed over eyes. is he high or is that conjunctivitis?
what bugs me even more is how people reward that stupidity with tones of likes and views, encouraging them to make a sequel.
awesome vid, you guys made some good ones this week
Awesome as always Cody!!
My thoughts exactly... wonder what the death toll is for "prank" videos?
+LAIDBACKMANNER Probably like 20%. And the murderers find and destroy the tapes.
+DrakathHelsinkin Only one confirmed so far, but there are probably more.
holy shit cody! i forgot he was a contributor to cracked
"Dopa Dopa Doo" is my new favorite thing to say.
I am really glad you made this. Thank you.
Great man , I agree 100/100
Thank you thank you thank you so much for doing this. I remember when MTV went from the show "Buzzkill", (which I thought was hilarious as a preteen), to "Jackass", and I just didn't get the joke. Maybe it's my age, my association, or because I'm a female, but hurting someone for laughs is just a lawsuit waiting to happen. But somehow people continue to pass this form of harassment off as "pranks", and believes they can simply claim possible deniability, and get away scot-free. Damn you America, and your misuse of constitutional law!✊ (as I shake my fist up to a passing cloud)
cracked!! :D I couldn't agree more! ;) thanks for always talking about things even if may not be "cool" to hear! :P love all of your videos!
Very intelligent stuff, one of the better pieces of Cracked content
all those looser guys who are getting those girls to kiss them stage it and pay the woman who are usually a small time actress.
Thank you. Just....thank you.
the fact that this isn't as structured as other cracked videos has some kind of its own charm to it
I am a (nonreligious) homeschooling mother and I found this video so memorable, that even now 6 years later, I am incorporating this video into my child's curriculum. It is very important and this type of message I feel is still necessary to be heard.
Most "gone wrong" videos are fake, otherwise the prankees would be in jail for assault.
+Resetti's Robot Wars Replicas even if they're staged, i wish for the "pranksters" to get beat up in the end.
+Resetti's Robot Wars Replicas yeah, when there is potential to make a lot of money these idiots just set up fake "pranks". Nobody charges at someone and just pushes them around like its a baseball fight. If they were that mad teeth would be flying.
+Resetti's Robot Wars Replicas I don't think it's "assault" when someone threatens you or tries to steal your personal property. Not saying these scumbags aren't above staging a prank but I'm pretty sure if someone tries to snatch your stuff out of your hands, that would be considered attempted theft and you're allowed to take physical action to reclaim your property on scene; in some states deadly force is considered legal.
He sounded like he was going to cry the entire time, I feel like he got "pranked" right before walking into the studio.
Came here to say this exactly. Sounded like he was going to cry the whole time. Sad.
But they’re fake
omg Cody is the perfect person to do ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. "why am i doing them?" because you have the most qualified opinion on absolutely everything.
My boyfriend has a picture of us with our newborn on his desk at work. After his work buddy covered his station, he returned to work the next day and a cut out of his buddy's head was placed over mine. We all thought it was really funny. He then replaced all of his pens with crayons markers. Those are the kind of pranks I enjoy, harmless & all in good fun.
dress up a dog as a giant spider to scare people.. that's a prank...
walk up to someone and insult them.. not a prank..
hahah Nailed it!, sadly 90% the people on the internet will have no idea what your talking about, and that's why roman, and all the other "prank" people on TH-cam are "famous". Cuz internet people. =/ *sigh*
You can tell how emotional he is but I agree with every single point. Great writing too.
This is one of the funniest cracked videos I've ever seen. Holy hell
the trashcan one, that actually was a prank, was cool. Didn't make me laugh or anything, but it was clever and I found it a neat idea. Fuck the guy for the kid "prank" though. That shit ain't funny. Although, with this commentary it became chuckle-worthy.
Your suit is too large
This was actually really great & necessary!!!
this is one of my favorite videos I swear to god lol. I link it all the time to explain things that are not pranks, why I did not find a prank funny, whatever. I usually also link the Michael Carbonaro "they were crabs now they're cats" clip as an example of a Good Prank where reality was heightened and the funny part isn't that the other person is "stupid," it's how they react to this inexplicable event lol. the best real pranks are the ones where the other person can be a total champ about it and find it funny once they learn the truth. if they're upset or only relieved it's not real then like... it's just depressing IMO lol. anyway thanks for this video, it's been very useful to me for several years now!
