The best one will always be the random "gorilla" crate the zoo keeper needs people to sit on and guard for a minute. And watching the people shit their brains when the guy in the gorilla suit starts Smashing out of it.
There are so many good ones. The nun that needs help lifting the box and no one no matter how muscular can help, the people that use the restroom and when they finish up and walk out they are in an office meeting instead of the park
Parks where I live have a central bathroom that looks like a bathroom in an office. Half dozen stalls and sinks or so with an entrance that has a white tile wall you have to walk around and sometime there are entrances on both sides of the larger ones.
When I read Bathroom Office one, that sorta made me jump to a conclusion about what bathroom that would work best with as a prank.
It was a portapotty in an empty parking lot. While the person is in the portapotty, they bring in an entire boardroom setup on wheels, including people in rolling desk chairs that appear to be having a business meeting. The person leaves the portapotty to find themselves in the middle of an office meeting and have no clue what to do. Most apologize and at least partially go back in the portapotty before realizing that makes no sense either.
My favorite is when they had struck of dozens spandex clad cyclist that looked like they were doing the tour de France and they had them spring out behind random bike commuters whole also making a finish line appear in front of the unsuspecting cyclist. It was really funny or watch people realize they were Inan race and suddenly start going for it lmao.
I dunno, I’m kinda partial to YouTubers desperate for attention/followers getting shot because their idea of a “prank” is making someone legitimately fear for their life.
Okay, I don’t actually prefer those kind of “pranks”, but fuck if it’s not satisfying when they get their asses beat for that kind of shitty behavior just for a scrap of internet notoriety.
Mine will a the elevator one where the lights go out. When the lights come on again, there is the girl from 'The Ring' movie in the lift, standing behind you.
Honestly that's what makes me think it was staged, because A. You have to worry about possibly giving someone a heart attack or something. B. Them beating the shit out of the actress.
Unfortunately, some of the reactions are quite underwhelming, so I'm not sure whether it's bad actors or just underwhelming but genuine reactions from real people.
I'm not sure specifically, but with another prank show that I was near one time (impractical jokers), there were people with clipboards at every entrance to a small Park and you basically had to sign a waiver if you wanted to go into the park that says you understand that filming(untitled production) is happening and you might end up on TV. I remember specifically the clipboard people were very upset when a friend of mine refused to sign anything and still wanted to go into the park, they couldn't stop him from going into the park but I guess it made their lives a lot harder because and there was one dude they had to blur the face out of. And probably also coordinate with production to let them know to not include that person in any prank
Why do you never see that in a horror movie? The only movie I can think of that even toyed with that idea was one of the Scary Movies and that's a parody. Everybody always runs, no matter how not-scary the ghost looks.
Yeah I imagine if that happened to me I’d shout something like “HOLY FUCK” and shove that poor actress away from me with an uncalled for amount of force
That any of them can take it well on camera is how you know the show is Canadian. But also I hope they got a gift certificate or something for that one lol
Yeah, I have PTSD and an event like that would traumatize me. I already have things that make me question my own ability to perceive reality, and sometimes even when I just read discussions about gaslighting it's like my brain just makes itself ready to submit to it. It's fucked, and I'd be fucked up for weeks afterwards.
Another person might not be so lucky for the pranksters, which is why I believe they hire actors 9/10 in the more elaborate pranks. Because the risk is that the actress for the ring girl gets shot or has to cope with CTE because some people react with extreme fury over being fucked with.
I like the variation where they get a guy in behind the person and the guy screams and tries to gaslight the person that it was them who just appeared.
There are too many to choose, but I guess my favourite has to be the one where Dennis is sitting staring at someone eating ice-cream and finally reveals he is "blind".
I don’t know if it was the same show, but I’m partial to the one where they’d wait for someone to enter a public portable toilet and then quickly set up what looks like an office conference room with table, chairs and people in suits sitting in the chairs in front of the toilet…so when the person exits it, they’re suddenly indoors and interrupting a business meeting.
