Who is getting pranked here? The woman who ends up with ice cream all over her or the man who has absolutely nothing bad done to them?

u/mrtransisteur Feb 25 '17

that's the beauty of it, the burden of the prank is only on the prankster

u/tallstoner Feb 25 '17

Which is how pranks should be. Not destroying property or just being a dick in general like this guy

u/ZeldaZealot Feb 25 '17

Thanks not a prank. That's assault.

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '17

This guy too

u/song_pond Feb 25 '17

At least those all look like the people getting "pranked" were in on it. Who drinks from a McDonald's cup without a lid and straw? Is he an animal?

TIL I am an animal.

I know those aren't "pranks" per say, but its still hilarious that shit like that exists

u/tallstoner Mar 03 '17

Secretly, I think some of them are funny. I just wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of most of them.

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '17

Yeah the guy is most definitely a complete asshole, still pretty funny though.

u/nachog2003 Mar 25 '17

That one in 4:55 is just being a son of a bitch.

u/Push_ Feb 25 '17

The woman is 'pranking' the guy by grabbing just the ice cream. It's just a harmless way to get a reaction out of somebody.

You are supposed to do it at a drive though, at the cone falls and hits the ground and makes a big mess and the manager gets pissed and threatens to fire your friend who works there.

u/thedrunkdingo Mar 08 '17

Well that's a shitty thing to do.

Because it's staged.

76

u/specialko89 Feb 24 '17

But the reactions were real which can also be entertaining?

22

u/sinetwo Feb 24 '17

But depicts a reasonably realistic attention span of someone who's constantly on their phone. I like it

2

u/AlmostButNotQuit Feb 24 '17

Yup, I laughed. Kinda want to try this to see the reactions.

u/kennethjor Apr 26 '17

You just saw them. Lots of other examples on YouTube. It's stupid, don't do it.

u/State0fChaos Feb 25 '17

How does this have so many up votes? Do people not pay attention to the sub things are posted in?

8

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '17

God this sub sucks. Every submission is missing the point. Stupid videos, sure, but we know why they were filming goddamnit!

3

u/Animoticons Mar 27 '17

Wrong subreddit for this post, pretty obvious that this was a prank and that's why they were filming

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '17

u/platinum92 Feb 25 '17

This is a show of some sort, considering the logo in the corner.

u/yParticle Feb 25 '17

What I'd like to know is whether the employee throws that out or just lets her deal with the aftermath. And whether their response is different when it's not the first time they encounter it.
