Granted, people want to have fun and laugh and I do love a good, well thought out, creative prank. However some of these seem to cross the line (see video) into assault.

It is fairly obvious that some of these pranks are set up, rehearsed, and those involved are part of the video. Clearly many are not. Worse, how many people are these videos influencing that don't get that the whole thing was set up and start doing it to innocent people.


What is the consensus, and what would you do if you were an unwitting victim of these pranks, like the bucket on the head in the video?

I agree. I learned long ago not to do this shit. You do this kind of stuff to a high school football player and you are visiting the hospital. Often times it is hard to tell. I messed with a guy in college and quickly found out he was the South American wrestling champion.

That kid should get a punch in the face for coming up with such an unfunny prank.

And a sock in the gut for molesting the English language.

I started a thread several months ago about playing pranks on coworkers
and friends. Do something like this to a stranger and you deserve an ass whoopin.

It would be different it the prank was actually funny.

This one is pretty lame.

I detest practical jokes and pranks. I will do my very best to be sure anyone that pulls this shit on me will regret it.
