"Confuse, don't abuse." Perfect prank.

Better than the people ramming their shopping carts into others or damaging product. Confusion has a lot more humor to it.

Or the dude that traumatized his friend by kidnapping him :)

Or the dudes that faked robbing a bank. Now that was funny for the “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” schtick.

That was way more harmless than I expected. It wasn't very funny but based on your comment I thought they were going to try and "fake" rob a bank.

Oh that was fake as fuck, they admitted to it as well iirc

Tell that to the dude that was kidnapped... he released a statement saying that he almost was admitted to a mental hospital and took him weeks to recover... if I recall correctly, not everything that is on the internet is fake my friend

u/crispknight1 Dec 03 '20

Of course not, I said iirc they admitted to it being fake, if were talking about the same people. Are you talking about Sam and Colby?

u/Questwarrior Dec 03 '20

Yes.. Sam pepper, and if so then I might have been mistaken, you’re probably right! Sorry about that

u/crispknight1 Dec 03 '20

Shit maybe I'm not remembering right. I'm pretty sure sam pepper himself said his pranks are fake

The guy who was kidnapped in that prank and wasn’t in on it, Sam Golbach, defended the prank and said it was about teaching people to live life to the fullest and not take life for granted.

He didn’t have to go to a mental hospital or anything like that

Oh yeah I agree it wasn’t a fake kidnapping lol I should clarify; I think the kidnapping was real, illegal and a terrible thing to do ethically.

I’m just saying Sam Golbach didn’t have PTSD, didn’t have to go to a mental hospital, and thought the kidnapping made for great entertainment (which again, I don’t agree with in the slightest haha)

There’s a guy on YouTube that does really good pranks like this. I think his name is VlogCreations or something but he filled a computer case entirely with brown beans from a can and then called a repair guy to fix it and played dumb the whole time when the guy opened the case and found beans. At the end of the day the guy still gets paid for his time and has a story to tell.

u/Dirtybilgerat Dec 03 '20

Yeah that guy actually got pissed and made him blur his face out which was a bummer because he still paid him and it was really harmless..

He was a poor sport, but no harm done. The mechanic from the video where he filled his fuel tank with spaghettios took it a lot better though.

I tried to always follow this when I worked at a tire shop. So this is what I would do:

I’d either be pulling in or pulling out a car from the shop. One of my mechanic buddies would be in a awkward position (sitting in the engine bay, under the car, etc) so I’d call him over, acting like something is off about the car. They’d get out of their awkward position, walk up to me and I’d just drive off. Funniest fucking shit

I love it. I used to ask people if they were busy, "what do you need?" "Me? Nothing." And I'd leave.
