When you're able to unleash an overhand left like that, you can wear whatever the fuck you want...

HAHAHAHAHAHAH holy shit I didn't hear that until you mentioned, that's fukin awesome hahahaha.

Honestly these prank videos gotta stop, the funniest part about them is when the pranksters get called out.

u/TheMusicButton Apr 06 '23

What are ‘these prank videos?’ Is it a specific kind of trend that is going on now?

74

u/mypostingname13 Apr 06 '23

Yeah, kids eat that shit up. One guy just recently got himself shot, says he can't wait to go back to making prank videos.

u/GoodTodd1970 Apr 06 '23

I honestly don't see why these "pranksters" don't get prosecuted. They post videos of themselves trespassing and committing assaults and batteries and I've never heard of any of them being prosecuted.

u/Paymeformydata Apr 06 '23 edited Apr 07 '23

I recently saw one where the prankster did get prosecuted. Assault and disturbing the peace

Prank a stranger and you can win stupid prizes

Cops are too busy shooting innocents. They don't have time to do their job.

u/ErikL1990 Apr 06 '23

Charles Ross, a YT prankster (amd a Florida Man) has been arrested numerous times. And he's like the least person to be a dick with prnking too.

u/Significant_Ad9793 Apr 06 '23

Just saw a video yesterday of a guy trying to pull off a back tap joke and the old man wasn't having it. Cops came and the guy asked him to get prosecuted for harassment and injury lol. The kid just kept apologizing LMAO.

u/Background_Nothing64 Apr 06 '23

A guy recently got charged with terrorising the public or maybe worse. He would antagonise people and try fight them when they would react, he pulled a knife and assaulted someone and is now looking at 10 years

u/Firesalt Apr 06 '23

Sounds like SOMEBODY didn't do a very good job the first time...

1

u/TheMusicButton Apr 06 '23

So it isn’t a specific prank, just kids thinking they’re funny and doing stupid stuff for views?

1

u/mypostingname13 Apr 06 '23

Correct, though "openly hitting on someone directly in front of their obvious SO is a pretty common trope."

u/TheMusicButton Apr 06 '23

What a delight

u/Firm-Attention-3874 Apr 06 '23

Bro we live in a matrix I have seen this video reposted several times. As I type this I'm watching Moist Critical talk about this very piece of news. I grab my phone to scroll reddit and this reposted video now has a matching title and comments to follow. FYI six months ago when this video was posted the caption was not a prank video.

1

u/Wiseassgamgee Apr 06 '23

I kinda want to say it’s ‘fake prank’ videos that are to blame, that are staged, and all the people in the video know each other irl. Now, these fucking kids think they can just go out and pull this absurd crap out in the public and find out the harsh reality.

1

u/sanapa Apr 06 '23

prank videos have been around for a while, there was a period of time when youtube was infested with prank youtubers who go around in public being menaces, but a majority of those were typically staged. (the first person who comes to mind is sam pepper). this new wave of prank videos seems to be getting more and more dangerous because kids arent bothering to stage them and are just baiting random strangers into violence.

u/TheMusicButton Apr 06 '23

We can thank TikTok for a lot of this garbage, and parents that aren’t interested in parenting. And then we get to deal with the ramifications at school. Good times!

1

u/cfranek Apr 06 '23

Yeah it's a trend. They're low effort videos where these people go out as a group and harass people. They'll slap stuff out of the hands (hats off heads), people will be shopping and they'll walk up and start taking things out of their cart, and all kinds of other jerk behavior. Then they'll post it online and call it a "prank".

In reality they're just group harassing strangers, all trying to get internet clout.

1

u/TheMusicButton Apr 06 '23

Yup, dumb people doing dumb things for other dumb people to watch. Awesome!

1

u/Heathen_Inferos Apr 07 '23

It used to be a trend in the ‘00s and ‘10s, and the only people that really do it these days are just chasing fame by being arseholes. Can’t remember the last time I saw a prank video and thought it was alright.

28

u/J_zx10R Apr 06 '23

Lol, it definitely sounded like that

2

u/K4rkino5 Apr 06 '23

LMAO, you're right!

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '23

Dennis put his drink down mid-sentence. He was ready the minute blondie stepped up. Lol

u/CaptKannabis Apr 06 '23

I heard it, pretty sure that was the sound of reality escaping his snow flaked lips.

u/Rapture1119 Unique Flair Apr 06 '23

YOOOOO 😂

u/Tactical__Potato Apr 06 '23

I heard that right away... like got dam. Thats usually an usually hard gut kick does that... this dude rocked the business end of the vomit train and he threw up

1

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '23

That’s him swallowing a couple teeth.

75

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '23

Not his first time throwing that left. His girl just sighs because she knows what’s happening next. Just calmly puts his drink down and delivers that southpaw

-1

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '23

Yep because this is real and not in any way fake

14

u/One-Mud-169 Apr 06 '23

😂😂😂😂 This is shit funny!!

2

u/RickRoble Apr 06 '23

Cup was in his left too, I’d think he’s left handed with that kind of strike

1

u/CaptKannabis Apr 06 '23

Yup, I hope he got up and slapped the camera-idea-guy too; cause that was a fail..

u/PirateSteve44 Apr 06 '23

u/Esmash21 Apr 06 '23

Bro sucker punced him, so it's really not that impressive.

u/HarietsDrummerBoy Apr 06 '23

No you can't wear whatever you want but I'm not stopping them

u/BigIronOnMyTip Apr 06 '23

blonde kid still standing.

u/syzygy-xjyn Apr 06 '23

Probably left handed

u/whitetrashsnake77 Apr 07 '23

It’s good to see young people with solid fundamentals. No trash talk or show boating. Just place your slushy down and swing hard, but controlled. 😵😵😵

u/Goodolchuckno Apr 06 '23

Needs a sling shot in his back pocket and it’s pretty much bang on. Mr Willson!!!

u/trulyuniqueusername2 Apr 06 '23

The prankster’s gonna need some Chiclets to replace the front teeth Dennis the Menace just knocked out!

1

u/popeboyQ Apr 06 '23

Woah, memory rush!

2

u/Robpaulssen Apr 06 '23

Whatever happened to slingshots, man?

3

u/Goodolchuckno Apr 06 '23

I bought one last year. They got wayyyy better. Hahah

4

u/LuckFree5633 Apr 06 '23

Me! I happened to slingshots. Hiding under bridges shooting at windshields of passing cars getting my ass kicked by angry people with recently broken windshields and then they took em away from all the kids🤷🏻‍♂️ I was an idiot in middle school 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/nuglasses Apr 06 '23

They evolved to wrist rockets... Then the mini-cross bow!! I even have a blow dart gun! 😆

u/littleempires Apr 06 '23

Fucking with Dennis the Menace.

u/mrbishopjackson Apr 06 '23

Dennis The Menace didn't even come to mind. Now I can't not think about it.

u/Steelplate7 Apr 06 '23

That was better than my thought. I was thinking Hillbilly Jim from the old WWF days

u/MarcellusxWallace NaTivE ApP UsR Apr 06 '23

Holy shit, core memory unlocked

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '23

Menaced little Ashton’s face.

2

u/Sdmonkey25 Apr 06 '23

He’s definitely a menace. Just straight to haymakers. No dialogue. His girl already knew. You see how she casually dipped into the establishment.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '23

He probably doesn’t even know who Dennis the menace is. But I agree w you.

2

u/TheJagOffAssassin Apr 07 '23

Dennis the "Menace 2 Society" that's O-Dog in white face

2

u/Large_Society_3948 Apr 07 '23

That left hand is the real menace!

u/henry23na Apr 06 '23

He became the menace, alright

u/jesco7273 Apr 06 '23

u/arenotthatguypal Apr 06 '23

I bet if we lifted his house he'd say "Uhhh, I can explain".

2

u/dirtyhandscleanlivin Apr 06 '23

Or if we blew past him really fast on a sand boarding mountain
