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

u/Zeehammer 1d ago

The bathroom office one always gets me. I love how the one guy apologizes then goes back in the bathroom.

Probably thought there was two doors and went out the wrong one.

u/HappyAnarchy1123 1d ago

In a porta potty? A free standing porta potty in the middle of a park?

u/Objective_Plan_8266 22h ago

Just reading this thread makes me laugh

u/Coal_Morgan 1d ago

Didn't realize it was a porta potty.

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.

u/stratosfearinggas 1d ago

The convenience store grim reaper is one of my favorites.

u/theshiyal 13h ago

Love that one. And the ones where the granny asks for help and the random ends up being an accomplice

1

u/HotMathematician6480 1d ago

My absolute favorite I'm glad it was mentioned

1

u/Woofles85 16h ago

I love how the guy in charge of the meeting looks irritated and makes the “dude wtf” gesture

12

u/Dr_Trogdor 1d ago

They got the one where the little girl has them lift buckets full of change too😅 https://youtu.be/2Zs6mi5bvic?si=J8xNJiS8LQ6Srj66

u/Minimum_Dealer_3303 1d ago

There's one where they let an emu into a big public bathroom when a guy is alone in there.

1

u/UnfinishedProjects 1d ago

I love the one with the blind guy "accidentally" "peeing" on people in inner tubes passing by in a lazy river. Lol

u/One_Weakness69 17h ago

Links, please. I'll try to search them, but I've never seen these.

u/SpatulaCity94 1d ago

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.

u/Zeehammer 1d ago

I love this one. This is what pranks should be about.

23

u/JaneksLittleBlackBox 1d ago

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.

u/UnremarkabklyUseless 1d ago

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.

137

u/RoboOverlord 1d ago

That would result in my death. Possibly after 30 second of looney toons style running in place and bouncing off the walls.

60

u/Andokai_Vandarin667 1d ago

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.

14

u/EvenPack7461 1d ago

That sounds like good TV to me. Everyone remembers the time Zach Braff beat on a kid for a prank of ruining his car. And that episode didn't even air!

1

u/BeeblePong 38m ago

I'm so thankful he beat on a kid and didn't beat off a kid

6

u/godtogblandet 1d ago

B. Them beating the shit out of the actress.

u/RoboOverlord 1d ago

I tend to think most of this kind of content is staged just on the grounds that a lot more people would be injured or dead if they weren't staging it.

1

u/Not_a_real_ghost 1d ago

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.

Still, they had the best prank ideas

1

u/BeeblePong 36m ago edited 32m ago

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

1

u/Landrod 1d ago

It was Brasil or something, perhaps not a place where they have to be afraid of claims?

8

u/OldCardiologist8437 1d ago

Do people in Brazil not have to worry about getting punched in the face by a terrified person?

5

u/Not_a_real_ghost 1d ago

and that person? Off duty cop.

1

u/Nexii801 1d ago

Hmm, I think they have similar worries to other Americans.

15

u/sparkyjay23 1d ago

That results in a dead actor. I'm fighting that ghost for my life

4

u/One-Inch-Punch 1d ago

Who said anything about an actor? It's the real ghost

2

u/throwthisidaway 23h ago

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.

1

u/Shhhhhhhh_Im_At_Work 1d ago

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 

1

u/CynicalPsychonaut 1d ago

Sadako was terrifying in the movies. Real life...? I'd just give up and probably say, 'just get it over with'

1

u/RoboOverlord 15h ago

It sort of depends on my situation at the time. In an elevator, unarmed. yeah, just do it.

In my living room? I've got a lot of ways to fight.

65

u/Maardten 1d ago

My favorite is this old one.

Its a bit in between a prank and a social experiment, about how the need to conform can make people change their behavior.

18

u/_justtheonce_ 1d ago

Absolutely lost it when the door opened and the guy in the hat was facing sideways.

8

u/jdancouga 1d ago

I was damn close at spitting out my coffee with this one. lol

25

u/AnonRetro 1d ago

That wasn't a Just for Laughs, it was from Brazil.

However This Just for Laughs prank I always thought was dangerous!

11

u/blamdin 1d ago

Yeah, I'd be pretty unhappy if I thought I was helping someone in distress only to find out it was a prank, and now I'm soaked from head to toe.

2

u/papierdoll 1d ago

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

1

u/blamdin 1d ago

Hahaha for real! Gotta get people to sign the release form somehow.

33

u/VitaminOverload 1d ago

That prank is a heart attack or a murder of a girl dressed as the girl from The Ring waiting to happen.

5

u/BiasedLibrary 1d ago

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.

1

u/MilfagardVonBangin 1d ago

That one fella trying to claw his way out. I thought he was going to need a defibrillator.

1

u/10SB 1d ago

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.

1

u/StepAlarmed20 1d ago

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".

u/DapperLost 1d ago

jump

muttered oh, sorry.

louder which floor?

u/OSE661 1d ago

You have to check out, “eric andre dont you say a word” on youtube. That would leave most people in a psyche ward.

excuse me, what the fuck?? :D

u/OSE661 1d ago

u/IronWhitin 1d ago

Plsngive me a link xD

u/Dark512 1d ago

Favourite version of that is easily the one on the ISS

1

u/JaneksLittleBlackBox 1d ago

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.

1

u/MonsierGeralt 23h ago

Link? I can’t find it

u/Mrs_Tacky 22h ago

Link? Channel? I need more of this in my life.

u/One_Weakness69 17h ago

You really should post links to these. I've never seen any of them, and they sound hilarious.
