Ummmm, uuuuummmmmmmmmmmm.

I was making a comment about their cooperation, like the recent string of cop incidents, just so we're clear.

 

[Bodacious]

 

[The Artisan]

wow

 

[esms]

Couldn't watch it for more than 20 seconds. Anything for the advertising dollars I guess.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

That, and jump cuts, lots of jump cuts each one ensure at least 10 views.

It's all Godard's fault.

 

[Lazyslob]

im cool with them being youtube famous as long as i get to see them get knocked out too

 

[DietRob]

I can't stand these racist pieces of shit. I think it was hot 97 that called them on their bs.

 

[krae_man]

The only way these "pranks" could be redeemed is if one of these pranksters when full Super Dave Osborne and started doing a jump cut to a dummy getting fustigated.

 

[BennyBlanco]

In our lifetime, somebody's last words will be "....i-it was just a prank..... l-like and s-subscribe... for.... more..."

I can subscribe to this

 

[Reset]

I stopped at 0:45. I'm absolutely disgusted that every "outbreak" featured is by a black person.

Pretty sure on a radio show they said that they go to black neighborhoods because that's what their viewers want to see, and gets them the most views.

 

[Hurt and Scared]

Nice pranks there...

It's good

 

[Ayt]

I saw a "prank" youtube video a few months ago where they were grabbing handbags from random people on the street and running away. Brilliant plan.

 

[pupcoffee]

My younger cousins vastly prefer youtube to television. They are also complete asses. They watch stuff like this video.

 

[Rayis]

I enjoyed watching them because I get to see a dumbass get his ass kicked

 

[UrbanRats]

Some folks seem to interpret "prank" as "do whatever the fuck you want [racism, sexual harassment, etc] as long as you're being filmed".

 

[Hagi]

I laughed when the fat dude and his friends took his shoes. Shouting it's a prank as a defense is hilarious as well.

 

[pupcoffee]

Some folks seem to interpret "prank" as "do whatever the fuck you want [racism, sexual harassment, etc] as long as you're being filmed".

Yeah, this is even worse than the other "pranksters" I've seen.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

That one clip early on when the gun fall out of the guys pocket. Jesus christ, this kid is going to get himself baxed if he's not careful.

 

[StanleyStutters]

The second they punches start flying he yells "it's a prank!" like that will stop someone. If you grab strangers phones and throw slurs at them you're gonna get hit every now and then. Don't see how any of these are pranks.

 

[jett]

Do people think this is real?

The first guy is the only one that is real.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYUtNdFwMuQ

ROFL who is the first dude getting clocked out? I seen him before

He's one of the simple pickup guys. I think one of them is actually a gaffer.

Anyway, these "pranks", fake or not, are idiotic.

 

[Feel the Swift]

This guy is getting punched in the face repeatedly. That's good enough for me.

 

[Lulubop]

Seeing this guy get punched in the head is pretty great, but these are terribly offensive pranks and this dude is a racist cunt. A lot of these seemed to be filmed around here.

 

[DrSlek]

One of these guys will get killed one day.

That one clip early on when the gun fall out of the guys pocket. Jesus christ, this kid is going to get himself baxed if he's not careful.

I recall another video of theirs...or someone similar, where one of their victims actually pulled a gun on them.

[styl3s]

After I've read "pranks" I knew it would be that fake little shit.

Do people think this is real?

Did you watch it or am i blind? Because that dude got knocked the fuck out in the first second of the video and from what i watched 2 other punches looked like they connected.

 

[Saganator]

Isn't it kind of racist that he's only doing the "pranks" on black people? I hate this guy, him and that worldstar dude are a really shitty byproduct of YouTube and viral media.

 

[CorvoSol]

I thought it was just doing Let's Plays of video games in an annoying voice with cringe worthy jokes. That, and jump cuts, lots of jump cuts each one ensure at least 10 views.

I feel like saying "I'm going to do a Let's Play" somehow magically transforms a guy's voice.

Because so, so many are the exact way you describe.

 

[outunderthestars]

How many times does this dumb shit have to get his ass kicked before he realizes this shit isn't funny?

When people stop posting his stupid videos.

 

[freenudemacusers]

whatever it may look like in a blurry vid, dude got a hole in his cheek.

a bunch of these are probably fake though, especially when dudes go for the 'hold you against something' deal instead of going straight swinging.

 

[Banglish]

Proving Darwin right eh.

 

[akachan ningen]

Proving Darwin right eh.

how so?

 

[MrAstronaut]

REX KRAMER!

This is dumb, but the guy can take a beating.

 

[Horns]

The gun dropped and he's begging for his life @ :50. lol

 

[Wolf Dawgz]

Next up... A lynching prank! These videos seem like not-so-thinly veiled racism.

 

[Ivan 3414]

I guess that's in douchebag millennial's terms.

Because every "millennial" agrees with this dude.

Thanks, gramps, for your astute observations.

 

[jerry1594]

How pathetic

 

[Valnen]

Some of those are probably fake, but in some you can hear his face getting hit. So something tells me they're not all fake. Guy's definitely gonna get killed if he keeps doing that shit.

 

[nicanica]

All the black guys in this video stop fighting almost the second he says to do so, and not one of them pulls a gun.

 

[Einbroch]

It doesn't bother me that these are fake, what bothers me is that the pranks suck. Reaching into someone's pocket is a prank? What?

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

What defines a mellinial anyway? Internet says somebody born between 1982 and 2000.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

it's all fake. the pranks are fake, the gone-wrongs are fake, the people are fake, everything is fake. fake fake fake. nothing is real.

.

 

[NomarTyme]

Damn what is real anymore?

 

[Disgraced]

It doesn't bother me that these are fake, what bothers me is that the pranks suck. Reaching into someone's pocket is a prank? What?

As has been said, harassment equals humor apparently.

What defines a mellinial anyway? Internet says somebody born between 1982 and 2000.

I was born in '97. I think I'm a millennial. This sort of stuff makes me cringe so hard I flip upside down. But on the other end I know lots of people who would probably think this is the funniest thing ever. And on the other-other end, I like watching LP. So maybe that doesn't make me somewhere higher according to some? I don't know.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

I don't mind these particular ones because the dumbfucks are getting their assess beat.

 

[ISOM]

These prank people know exactly what they are doing by mainly going after black people.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

These are not pranks.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Racist pieces of shit

 

[Furyous]

These are not pranks.

The pranks argument is kind of laughable because everyone in those clips are not getting paid to perform. Those guys that pulled a gun on him weren't joking.

The dudes that jumped the kid weren't joking either. The guy that hemmed him up against a sign weren't joking at all. Notice they didn't try none of these pranks in "other environments".

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

nutcase comes up and takes your phone or comes up behind and starts messing with your pants?

not to mention targeting only black men...

racist and dumb and these fucks also harass women on the street

 

[yencid]

Going after a certain group expecting a reaction and then calling it pranks.

these arent pranks. a bunch of them are downright insulting too.
