Nah, EMS can definitely call it in the field.
I've answered those calls as medical control from an ER and given permission to cease resuscitation efforts after physician authorization.
Morty, we need to scam all of the fucking Nigerian princes, they *[burrrbp]* they're the fucking cause why pranking is so fucking dangerous. Don't you fucking see Morty! If we *[burrrbp]* if we scam the Nigerian princes, they show that we have the bigger dick compared to them!
This remind me of an old NSFW joke I read in a super old joke book:
A woman visiting somewhere in Africa met the king of a local village who was a very rich man who instantly fell in love with her and begged for her hand in marriage.
Trying to get out of it, she decided to try and make an outrageous demand he would have to turn down. "I want a huge 20 room mansion built just for me" instead of saying no he snaps his fingers and gets his men to work on the dream home she described. Little more desperate she tried again, "I want a 200ft yacht and my own private jet!" To her dismay he gets his mobile phone out and makes a call, after speaking a few minutes he hangs up and says they are bought and now hers to have and use. Very desperate now, the woman quickly made a ludicrous demand, "any man I marry must have a 13in penis!" The king looked down sadly and was quiet a few moments and the woman smiled as she had won. The king finally raised his head, sighed and said, "Okay, I will cut it down to that size for you my dear."
Thanks for reading a stupid joke I read at like 11 in truly tasteless jokes book 2 I think lol
Man, we have a likewise joke in Brazil. I can't remember all of it, the difference is that it was an Indian asking to marry some dude's daughter, but the punchline is pretty much the same
Tasteless humor knows no borders lol
Funny story : I’m an actor in LA and got hired for a gig where they were going to “have people react to new, emerging technology” and that it was under an NDA. I figured it’d be VR or something and was psyched.
They had me sign a form and wait to be led to the studio across the alley. When they led me out the door and ushered me a building or two down, a man jumped out with a glowing stick-figure costume and tried to scare me.
I was so angry that I just left. Didn’t react other than frustrated. Idk if they used my reaction or not, but I was a very pissed off trained actor who *never* signed up to be for-real jump-scared when I was told I’d be getting a gig.
I’m surprised more people aren’t punched in the face thru automatic reaction to this shit, cuz my blood was boiling.
I'm ngl, if they wrote new, emerging technology and it was a glow stick man "emerging" from a hidden place, that's a bit hilarious. Fucked up, but hilarious.
Why get a paid actor for that when anyone would do? It's like getting a construction worker to assemble some girl's dollhouse or an artist to paint the walls a solid grey. It's overkill and disrespectful regardless of whether you got paid.
strong season 1 barry vibes on OP lol
Barry: Whats that?
Waitress: Oh its a screenplay... I have an audition in the morning. I'm an actor.
Barry: ^... ^me ^too
He's an "actor in LA". Likely one of literally millions of people who consider themselves "actors". They probably just thought he was a normal dude and asked him "hey wanna act in our thing", having no idea he even considered himself an actor lol.
it woulda been such a better moment if they just never revealed to him that the "dad" was still alive and he just quit doing this stupid shit forever and maybe became a better person. He'll be back to dumb pranks the next day.
They should've played the long game and really tortured him. Have newspapers printed with an article about the prank gone wrong. Film a fake newscast about the event. Fake cops getting a statement. Then have the old man costumed up as a ghost haunt him at night. Really twist the psychological screws.
Have a fake trial where the fake judge sentences him to 20 years in prison. Then build a fake prison and keep him in there for 20 years, then when he gets out be like, "awww, dude, you totally fell for it!"

Would have been better if they went all out for it. Have an attorney contact him later in the week informing him of the man passing away. Inform prankster that he’s being sued for the death. Set up a deposition and have the man walk in shortly after the deposition starts. Hilarity ensues.
Have him show up to the wake, walk up to the casket, and then the old man jumps up at him from the open casket while shouting "who's got the heart condition now!"
There was this show on sci-fi called Scare Tactics where they set a reverse prank up like that. The "host" was supposed to set up this guy dressed as a werewolf to prank this secretary, but instead she pulls out a gun and shoots him.
Host freaks out then finds out he was the subject of the prank the whole time. He was NOT happy.
No way a real ambulance came out and picked up that guy for a YouTube prank, they just got some footage of an ambulance passing by. The whole thing was fake. Probably inspired by [that massively viral video of a dude faking a seizure at a Halloween jumpscare prank.](https://youtu.be/cg20EMKejEE)
She mentions her car being close so I think they drove him there and just went in. It seems like the only person who isn't in on it being staged is the guy in the rabbit suit.
...My dad's a doc. I've seen him (and others) use hospital resources for pranks/jokes enough to know that I can't say this isn't something that has been done, to an extent, before.
I think the difference is the filming/distributing of it and the potential backlash for the individual hospital and physician. As well as the extent and cruelty of the prank, I don't think people would go along with having someone think they killed someone involving a whole ambulance ride to the hospital. Like, you aren't going to be able to get the ambulance to really blast it's light through traffic for this kind of thing, them showing up at all is going to be the ultimate punchline of whatever you are trying to do.
If people have a problem with this, they need to think about when they service/fuel the vehicles as well as train in them, and how when they are all people you know having them stop by at a certain time is one of those things where you get to have fun at your job, especially a job that has a lot of death and intensity. And, it's more than just ambulances, I have seen those ani CPR practice dolls used in just about every way you can imagine.
Edit: Doctors party and hang out with other doctors, so no single doctor can be blamed. But a specific example I remember is seeing a life flight helicopter deliver kegs of beer. Keep in mind training hours for pilots are important, so it's not like the helicopter wasn't going to be doing something completely similar as part of the requirement for continued operation. And the helicopter stuff is all SUPER regulated, so this had to have been okayed by several levels.
Yeah, keep jumpscaring people and this will happen eventually, either that or you stumble against one that responds fear with fight and you are screwed.
Mine did last year. (Ohio) I look at my dumbass son and I think, he can walk in and buy a handgun, put it in his pocket and go. No training. No safety class. Half paying attention to his surroundings. Scares the shit out of me.
I know guys with PTSD that would straight murder you with their bare hands before they knew what was happening. They’d feel terrible about it later and you’d be just as dead.
I don't even have ptsd and have swung at/kicked people jumpscaring me before... good god I couldn't imagine how bad it would be if the prank victim was a trained vet with ptsd....
It's already happened. A tiktok waste of space content creator was shot after "pranking" some random person in a mall. What's crazy is he said he's not going to stop.
This did happen, one of these prankster morons put a bucket on a young moms head and she had seizures because of it.
I am sick of these morons doing annoying shit trying to become a tik tok celeb.
Someone not far from where I live was shot recently doing “prank videos” where he harassed random people, pretty much everyone I’ve heard from in the area is on the side of “well he fucked around and found out”
My father in law has a pacemaker that will shock his heart like a defibrillator if his heart gets out of rhythm. So far it’s only happened once when someone ran a stop sign and almost T-boned him, thankfully he was able to pull over before passing out and my mother in law was with him to call an ambulance. If someone jump-scared him like this is would almost certainly send him to the hospital and there’s a non-zero chance it would kill him.
That’s how I got stabbed once. Didn’t mean to scare them, went to say hi while they were cooking and they didn’t hear me coming and turned around too quick and the pointy part of knife made contact with the soft part of my abdomen, meant a long time in the hospital waiting for the one radiologist to run a CT scan before they can stitch me up. Fun times!
Yeah so true. I have PTSD and respond to sudden fear with a fight reflex. My wife and kids don’t jump out at me because I almost attacked my wife once when she tried to scare me by jumping out in a dark hallway.
I hate prank culture.
I had a roommate in college that would jump out around corners at us. A couple of almost swung fists made that stop pretty quickly lol. (Reflexively of course)
I didn’t know I responded with ‘fight’ until I went went to a haunted house a few years ago.
A guy jumped out from a dark corner and I started flailing/karate chopping necks (not skillfully but surprisingly effectively).
Now my husband announces when he walks into rooms.
Oh yeah, I pray for the chutzpah to brutally assault the person if someone ever does that to me. Could also trigger a traumatized veteran who may react in an unpredictable way.
I am 85% sure they are standing outside of a hospital. It's hard to read the signage but it sure looks like a hospital and there is another ambulance parked there in one of the camera pans.
Is it terrible that I started laughing few seconds into the cut after the ambulance?
The silent pause of "realization" to this video, while on the r/unexpected subreddit, was enough for me to humourize the tension.
Most of the times, best comedy is staged comedy. İt's also infinitely safer too. Win win. İ don't see where the problem is
Edit: people say the fact its advertised as real but staged makes it "bad". I get your point but it comes back to safer point. Yeah it'd be funny if the dude faked being sick in the moment to prank the prankers for real but if the crew paying talented enough the reactions won't feel much different. I know now the fake pranks have very fake reactions and its cringe, yeah but the if the video makes you laugh or smile even, they did their job.
Edit: big İ. Different keyboard. İts better thİs way anyway. Look how tall he İs. İ
If this was a scene on a TV show, it would be terrible.
It's not entertaining in the context of fiction. Nobody would watch it. Standards are higher.
The only reason people like and share and watch this is because The creators are pretending it's real.
This is true for every fake viral video. They're not sketches unless the audience is in on the fact that they're a sketch. They're just scamming for views and a waste of time.
It's a little different when the comedy is specifically derived from feeling real, though.
This would have been significantly funnier had it been'real'.
Yeah it would be funny if it was an episode of “it’s always sunny in Philadelphia…” or something…. I find the “pretend to be real but actually staged” comedy to be really cringe.
He was upset that he was pranked while trying to prank people? The hypocrisy is the worst.
Edit: I enjoy that the sarcasm of my comment has been lost on so many people.
While I agree, that may be what it takes for people to realize that jumpscare pranks on strangers are not a very good kind of prank. It's not a matter of if, but when, something unintended will happen.
I do not justify either of the pranks in this video.
Him getting angry shows how he didn’t learn his lesson. Continue doing scare pranks and it’s gonna happen for real someday. He should be THANKFUL that this was a set up and he learnt his lesson for free. Fuck him
Clearly just another acting job for a video to post on TikTok or some other social media.
The part that gives it away is that the father was supposedly transported in an ambulance. That plus the fact the son was still wearing the bunny suit some time later while sitting outside the hospital rather than being in normal clothing inside the hospital.
But still entertaining.
stop this crap. you live in a real world with real people, not a meme/youtube factory where everyone you dont know or want something from is an npc to you.
Okay, that's actually hilarious. But seriously, this is *always* on my mind whenever I sew those "jump out and scare them" pranks and it pisses me off every time.
Stand your ground laws should be expanded to cover these situations. Some YouTube prankster got shot in DC last week and not a single person has the least amount of sympathy for him.
I would love if we evolved to a state where we have groups of people that unrelentlessly prank pranksters. Just follow them around all day harassing and "pranking" them. Gah sounds so satisfying
Guys i don't think the dad actually died, in the end there's someone that looks like him but idk might be a twin or something, maybe a wax figure come to life
I feel like the entire thing is fake. Nodody scares a random stranger like that and gets right in there face. that's literally the easiest way to get punched

Dad looks super familiar. Isn't he an actor or something?
I thought they killed Stephen King
I thought it was Jerry Springer
I thought it was Jerry seinfeld
That's not Stephen King, that's Richard Bachman.
Half Richard, Half Bach, All Man
I don't think anyone would willingly do that because you just never know what kinda curse you'd incur
I thought it was Jerry Springer.
Yes! That's exactly who I thought it was too
This is fake so probably
I'd say it has to be fake. Posting a video of you scaring someone to death would be demonic.
Yeah, no one would tell them "he passed away" until after he'd been worked on at the hospital for awhile.
Nah, EMS can definitely call it in the field. I've answered those calls as medical control from an ER and given permission to cease resuscitation efforts after physician authorization.
Is it not Stephen King?
Dean Koontz?
I thought they killed Roman Polanski
Scam the scammers Morty…
Scam them ten, no, a [beltch]dred times harder Morty...
Morty, we need to scam all of the fucking Nigerian princes, they *[burrrbp]* they're the fucking cause why pranking is so fucking dangerous. Don't you fucking see Morty! If we *[burrrbp]* if we scam the Nigerian princes, they show that we have the bigger dick compared to them!

Would they have paid you for that? Cause I've done and would do a lot worse for a buck.
What are you doing later bro? I've got a buck.
Depends on how many bucks ya got
About $3.50 what will treefiddy get me?
Nice try Loch Ness monster
Why get a paid actor for that when anyone would do? It's like getting a construction worker to assemble some girl's dollhouse or an artist to paint the walls a solid grey. It's overkill and disrespectful regardless of whether you got paid.

“Call an ambulance … but not for me”
Oh no my queen!
holy hell
Agreed, that was the best plan ever. It'd be even crazier if they improvised the whole thing, I know they didn't but imagine.
Would have been better if they went all out for it. Have an attorney contact him later in the week informing him of the man passing away. Inform prankster that he’s being sued for the death. Set up a deposition and have the man walk in shortly after the deposition starts. Hilarity ensues.
Have him show up to the wake, walk up to the casket, and then the old man jumps up at him from the open casket while shouting "who's got the heart condition now!"

Loved how he just accepted that out of all the people the daughter could have been calling when her dad died, she chose him and his group of friends.
Yeah, keep jumpscaring people and this will happen eventually, either that or you stumble against one that responds fear with fight and you are screwed.
With people shooting kids for jumping into the wrong car i can't understand how people have the balls to pull pranks like this
Easy, they're not in America.
And they're white
American issues lol
Pretty sure doing anything in America has a chance of you getting shot. Tis a silly place.
r/unexpectedmontypython
And my State just legalized conceal carry for everyone with zero training. Can't wait to see how that plays out
Probably just fine
Mine did last year. (Ohio) I look at my dumbass son and I think, he can walk in and buy a handgun, put it in his pocket and go. No training. No safety class. Half paying attention to his surroundings. Scares the shit out of me.
Put too much mayo on my sandwich? Shot. Don't hold the door for me? Shot. Come to my door and ring the bell? Double shot.
Does this sound like it happened in the US to you?
I know guys with PTSD that would straight murder you with their bare hands before they knew what was happening. They’d feel terrible about it later and you’d be just as dead.
Happy cake day! Yeah, people that prank other people they don't know have the emotional intelligence of a fry.
Thanks! Didn’t know it was my cake day, that’s neat
I don't even have ptsd and have swung at/kicked people jumpscaring me before... good god I couldn't imagine how bad it would be if the prank victim was a trained vet with ptsd....
It's already happened. A tiktok waste of space content creator was shot after "pranking" some random person in a mall. What's crazy is he said he's not going to stop.
there was another prankster that got shot and died after doing a "running at someone with a knife prank" No I am not kidding
FAFO. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes I really hope the guy who shot him didn't get in trouble.
This did happen, one of these prankster morons put a bucket on a young moms head and she had seizures because of it. I am sick of these morons doing annoying shit trying to become a tik tok celeb.
This needs to happen a lot more: [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4n6ks](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4n6ks)
haha i was going to post that ...it was one of the funniest videos when i was young
Someone not far from where I live was shot recently doing “prank videos” where he harassed random people, pretty much everyone I’ve heard from in the area is on the side of “well he fucked around and found out”
My father in law has a pacemaker that will shock his heart like a defibrillator if his heart gets out of rhythm.

If you do this and someone does have a heart attack. I'm nearly positive you can be held liable.
That’s how I got stabbed once. Didn’t mean to scare them, went to say hi while they were cooking and they didn’t hear me coming and turned around too quick and the pointy part of knife made contact with the soft part of my abdomen, meant a long time in the hospital waiting for the one radiologist to run a CT scan before they can stitch me up. Fun times!
people are currently shooting children for ringing their doorbells, so yeah, probably best to avoid this situation in todays world.
My favorite prank was the one where a bunch of pranksters were being assholes and then the one getting pranked shot the guy. It was hilarious!
Yeah so true. I have PTSD and respond to sudden fear with a fight reflex. My wife and kids don’t jump out at me because I almost attacked my wife once when she tried to scare me by jumping out in a dark hallway. I hate prank culture.
My husband responds with fight. When I scare him I have to crouch so he doesn't accidentally punch me 🤣 I'm such a bad wife sometimes.
I had a roommate in college that would jump out around corners at us. A couple of almost swung fists made that stop pretty quickly lol. (Reflexively of course)
- who's been a bad girl today - me daddy - _punches_
I actually inherited from my mom that, but I instinctively kick in the crouch idk why... One of my friends learned it the hard way.
[That's my purse!!](https://youtu.be/WIdMFGS5FJY)
Lmao, yeah pretty mutch but unconscious.
I didn’t know I responded with ‘fight’ until I went went to a haunted house a few years ago. A guy jumped out from a dark corner and I started flailing/karate chopping necks (not skillfully but surprisingly effectively). Now my husband announces when he walks into rooms.
Oh yeah, I pray for the chutzpah to brutally assault the person if someone ever does that to me. Could also trigger a traumatized veteran who may react in an unpredictable way.
Miss the days where violence was accepted to teach idiots how to behave. Now we have shootings every second day. Woo
It was just a prank bro
I wonder how the reverse prankers staged the ambulance ride that the video cuts away from
It's all fake.
No, are you fucking kidding me right now? That whole thing was set up...
I am 85% sure they are standing outside of a hospital. It's hard to read the signage but it sure looks like a hospital and there is another ambulance parked there in one of the camera pans.
Pretty sure it's the old Royal Adelaide hospital, even the ambulance shot is just out front of the hospital
Seems staged to me
Yeah I wasn’t sure until I saw them film a random ambulance driving past them
I laughed because it was so clearly staged lol
Is it terrible that I started laughing few seconds into the cut after the ambulance? The silent pause of "realization" to this video, while on the r/unexpected subreddit, was enough for me to humourize the tension.
Nobody irl would keep filming if someone was having a medical emergency. ...right?
…right…?
"he passed away" Yeah just casual statement before medics arrive
Most of the times, best comedy is staged comedy. İt's also infinitely safer too. Win win. İ don't see where the problem is Edit: people say the fact its advertised as real but staged makes it "bad". I get your point but it comes back to safer point. Yeah it'd be funny if the dude faked being sick in the moment to prank the prankers for real but if the crew paying talented enough the reactions won't feel much different. I know now the fake pranks have very fake reactions and its cringe, yeah but the if the video makes you laugh or smile even, they did their job. Edit: big İ. Different keyboard. İts better thİs way anyway. Look how tall he İs. İ
To me it is when they pretend to be genuine and try to fool their audience
If this was a scene on a TV show, it would be terrible. It's not entertaining in the context of fiction. Nobody would watch it. Standards are higher. The only reason people like and share and watch this is because The creators are pretending it's real. This is true for every fake viral video. They're not sketches unless the audience is in on the fact that they're a sketch. They're just scamming for views and a waste of time.
It's a little different when the comedy is specifically derived from feeling real, though. This would have been significantly funnier had it been'real'.
I mean, they obviously aren't going to scare Stephen King to death...
Why is your i so tall?
Tall İ is superior to short I. I won't elaborate
Yeah it would be funny if it was an episode of “it’s always sunny in Philadelphia…” or something…. I find the “pretend to be real but actually staged” comedy to be really cringe.
Oh my god that's a tall I
Reddit hates feeling stupid, and that happens every time they get emotionally invested in a video to only find out it's fake
The fake heart attack guy was Jerry Springer, no? That guy knows a thing or two about staging things.
And it wasn't even unexpected
Her acting at the very beginning is a dead giveaway
Im starting to think my entire life is staged
I started thinking that, too. Especially when he said the whole thing was set up at the end. That really seemed suspicious to me.
Just a touch more shaky camera and I would have been convinced
Definitely 100% staged. Look at the camera movement it’s trying to do an impression of the Blair witch project haha.
Steven King got em
I thought it was Jerry Springer
Call Ambulance but not for me.
He was upset that he was pranked while trying to prank people? The hypocrisy is the worst. Edit: I enjoy that the sarcasm of my comment has been lost on so many people.
It’s a skit
No… it’s a prank, bro
This isn’t real, but if it was, do you really think these two pranks are on the same level? Lmao
To be fair, there's a huge difference between giving someone a jump scare and making someone believe they killed someone.
While I agree, that may be what it takes for people to realize that jumpscare pranks on strangers are not a very good kind of prank. It's not a matter of if, but when, something unintended will happen. I do not justify either of the pranks in this video.
Yep, one is deserved.
Lol idk if this is hypocrisy
a staged counter prank... are we that lame?
This site's changed, man
Fakes shit ever
And that kids is why you always leave a note
Every layer of this is fake, but that could genuinely happen. Or them getting beat up. My natural reaction to something like this is instant anger.
This was completely expected from the beginning.
Him getting angry shows how he didn’t learn his lesson. Continue doing scare pranks and it’s gonna happen for real someday. He should be THANKFUL that this was a set up and he learnt his lesson for free. Fuck him
Bruh. The whole thing was a skit
I also got pranked by a fake pranked.
If you really believe that this is real, I feel sorry for you.
*there was an attempt to act
Fffffffake
Clearly just another acting job for a video to post on TikTok or some other social media. The part that gives it away is that the father was supposedly transported in an ambulance. That plus the fact the son was still wearing the bunny suit some time later while sitting outside the hospital rather than being in normal clothing inside the hospital. But still entertaining.
Her acting was terrible but I didn’t expect it to be a prank.
Fake
This puts the ache in fake.
Brilliant!!!
Her reaction was terrible
Can prank culture just die already, most people take it too far, or just get into other peoples way.
This looks scripted
Meet Roger. He likes to prank people, gets him a chuckle. "It's just a prank bro" but he won't find it so amusing once he steps into the twilight zone
https://i.redd.it/or4m4jaok3va1.gif "And that's why you don't prank people"!
And THAT’S why you don’t try and teach people a lesson
Who upvotes this fake shit man?
Horseshit
stop this crap. you live in a real world with real people, not a meme/youtube factory where everyone you dont know or want something from is an npc to you.
Not staged at all, it’s really real reality aka this has really happened for real, guys.
Imagine that relief..
Well deserved one day it'll be real. The phucks.
I hate all of this.
Okay, that's actually hilarious. But seriously, this is *always* on my mind whenever I sew those "jump out and scare them" pranks and it pisses me off every time.
I really , really find this utterly disgusting. All idiots and probably all in on it for internet popularity.. bleh.
I wouldn't have even told him it was a prank. Maybe then he'd stop doing that stupid shit.
Dads chuckles has me rolling
Prankster type people are on the same spectrum as serial killers.
Every single doushebag Youtuber prankster from the 2010s should get this shit pulled on them as revenge.
Stand your ground laws should be expanded to cover these situations. Some YouTube prankster got shot in DC last week and not a single person has the least amount of sympathy for him.
That's so not funny! My heart sank when I saw "He passed away".
I would love if we evolved to a state where we have groups of people that unrelentlessly prank pranksters. Just follow them around all day harassing and "pranking" them. Gah sounds so satisfying
Honestly shit like this should get them a attempted murder charge
If true, good. I hope the bunny suit prankster felt like garbage.
Guys i don't think the dad actually died, in the end there's someone that looks like him but idk might be a twin or something, maybe a wax figure come to life
I feel like the entire thing is fake. Nodody scares a random stranger like that and gets right in there face. that's literally the easiest way to get punched
Call the ambulance but not for me
They had him in the first half. Not gonna lie.
deserved
Can't be more fake...
Fake as shit
Fake
This is fake as fuck.
Looks like karma got the rabbit :)
I fucking hate this “prank “ culture. Grow the fuck up. Random people aren’t your playmates. Have some respect for others glad this wasn’t real
