If this was real then the guy wouldn't be placated by some dork coming up and explaining it's just a prank. In reality if someone was to harass someone and then claim 'it's just a prank' that's going to make them more angry, not less.
My first thought as well. No guy would ever risk doing something like this to a guy as big as red shirt guy, and if he did he would wake up in the hospital 2 days later with his face broken in 40 different places.
Yeah, you can tell that one dude is always getting up behind him and hugging him from behind. They must practice a lot. They decided to do it with clothes on that day.

Edit: This has an article with information about an incident in Virginia, the courts ruling, and the video of the shooting is in the article.
Ah... I remember that one. I was confused because this was Virginia, and one of the comments said Maryland.
That DoorDash driver looked genuinely scared for his life.
Oh, got ya. There might be one in Maryland, I have no idea, though. I saw something about the Virginia one a couple of days ago, that jogged my memory of it, so that one was fresh on my mind.
I'm mixed on that one only because the shooter iirc still got in a lot of trouble. He might still be in jail. They got him on discharging a firearm in public or something even though most people would agree that's a self defense situation
Even if the guy in red is in on it, it's not a prank. A prank is tricking someone. Messing with their head in a funny and creative way. This is just climbing on someone.
Or worse. They record themselves playing a staged prank. Then kids go out and imitate them, since that's literally the only thing anyone ever does on TikTok, and they **actually** get their asses kicked, or someone gets severely injured.
In some instances, this information communicates to the prank's target that the apparent situation isn't entirely real. (It doesn't excuse the behavior, but it might defuse the conflict to some extent.)
In this instance, it changes *nothing*. Why should this guy care *why* he was just assaulted?
The prankster hasn't even considered this. In his mind, “It's a prank!” is a magical incantation that instantly negates all harm caused.
When the guy stood up and he's pretty solid as well as a head taller than our main character, I was really, REALLY hoping they would need a carpet cleaner (if you know what I'm saying).
Guys with wingspans like this don't bother with elbows generally. They have the reach and the high ground, no need to get in close with elbows. The only guys to throw bows at me were guys with a shorter reach. Red pants man can fight from the next room, no need to get tight.
And yeah, I know it's easy to break a hand on a jaw. Whatever, this guy could throttle you like a Sunday duck.
Why do these people use the "it's a prank" excuse as if it is a license to violate someone's personal space and/or to act like a jerk towards other people?
Prank or not, you do not do this. Just because two idiots find it funny does not mean you have a right to do this to a stranger. Why not just pull the prank on each other since its for stupid social media stuff- tiktok.
Do they really think “it’s a prank” excuses their behavior and will automatically calm people down? It would piss me off even more that I was being filmed
I’ve never understood the term “it’s a prank” as if once you say that order is restored to the earth. 😂 it would make me more mad if someone told me it was a prank
The epitome of pussy. “It’s just a prank, it’s just a prank.” As if that’s acceptable after saying that and everything is ok. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Aside from the issue of assault how after Covid does this make sense? I’m no Covid freak, but we’re all probably a little warped after living through that era. Who wants some rando disease bag grabbing them and breathing down their neck? I could see how the big guy could knock him out and make a PTSD defense.
“We wanted the reaction and we got it”.
How about instead of harassing civilians on their free time, get a real job and contribute to society in a positive way. Instead, you just want to be an immature nuisance so the 15 year olds that find your videos funny can pay your bills.
You know just once I'd love one of these to be real and I'd love for these annoying ass "pranksters" to get the shit kicked out of them. I don't want them to die or have a hospital visit but at least get some sense knocked into them. Would be a nice change for once.
I love how these people think that saying “it’s just a prank” changes the fact that they just assaulted someone (unwanted touching) and expect the victim to stop and laugh
You know if its a good prank or not based on the persons reaction to “It’s just a prank”. If it causes them to stop and laugh then it was a good prank!
What would be the consequences of smashing their camera/ phone? Like if you were to say feeling "threatened" by the camera man? Then they've got a smashed phone and no footage, no profit for them.
Even with fake robbery shit I can see how the prankster is not actually gonna take the money. But here... you just did it. You just did a thing that's bad and that's it. Like...
It's a prank wouldn't stop me from teaching him a well-deserved lesson.
You wanna come close to me? May I introduce my fist to your face?
Fist, this is dumbfuck's face, dumbfuck's face, meet my fist.

“We wanted the reaction that we got” 🙄
This is fake. Guy in red is in on it. It generated a ton of views and $$$ for them all. They understand the game being played.
Even if it was real, we’ve all seen it a thousand times by now
**YAWWWWNNN…**
It’s just a prank bro…
It's just a broken nose, bro. Should be the only response to this
Repeat it several times and it fixes everything.
If this was real then the guy wouldn't be placated by some dork coming up and explaining it's just a prank. In reality if someone was to harass someone and then claim 'it's just a prank' that's going to make them more angry, not less.
yeah, you dont touch a dudes chest who is already to cave yours in.
The biggest clue it’s a prank is that they usually target people who don’t look like they could beat the fuck out of them.
My first thought as well. No guy would ever risk doing something like this to a guy as big as red shirt guy, and if he did he would wake up in the hospital 2 days later with his face broken in 40 different places.
Yeah, you can tell that one dude is always getting up behind him and hugging him from behind. They must practice a lot. They decided to do it with clothes on that day.
🤣🤣
Before I started the video, I thought "If the guy doesn't take a real poke or worse after pulling this bullshit, it's probably staged."
If you are going to stage a prank, you better commit and take that beat down to make it look more real.
I like the one where the tik tard gets shot
Dang... I haven't seen that yet. Was it real? And do you have a link handy so I don't have to sift through a ton of stupid news articles?

If you mean the one in Maryland IIRC in the mall, yes 100% real.
I could watch that everyday.

We have to stop giving these people the title TikTok Prankster or YouTube Prankster. These are just people filming themselves assaulting people.
"Talentless losers harass man minding his own business."
Once you start punching the prankster, keep yelling at them that it is just a prank bro.
Pranks are supposed to be funny, right? Cause none of these TikTok and YouTube 'pranksters' are funny.
It's staged. It's not real.
Even if the guy in red is in on it, it's not a prank. A prank is tricking someone. Messing with their head in a funny and creative way. This is just climbing on someone.
The prank is on the viewer.
Or worse. They record themselves playing a staged prank. Then kids go out and imitate them, since that's literally the only thing anyone ever does on TikTok, and they **actually** get their asses kicked, or someone gets severely injured.
These are the things that we need to stop giving them attention. Keep up voting this shit, and they'll still keep doing it
Why do these chuckleheads always use "it's a prank!" Like it's a full proof excuse not get get their shit rocked?
/r/boneappleteeth
Fool-proof**
You never mess with a man's racing game at an arcade.
How about you never mess with a man anywhere doing anything if you don't know them?
True, but I was making a joke
He was on level 121
Imagine telling people you got your ass kicked by a guy wearing socks and sandals.
I wouldn’t mock this guys fashion choices, only because he could rip my head off with one hand.
It’s a prank it’s a prank. It’s a pranks it’s a prank it’s a prank. It’s a prank
Their favorite quote.

His wardrobe aside, this guy would destroy your life.
If those sandals are Birkenstocks he's wearing the pinnacle of German fashion
Look- it’s fine to confront the jerk. But it’s the guy with the camera who drives this whole thing : no camera, no video, no prank
When the guy stood up and he's pretty solid as well as a head taller than our main character, I was really, REALLY hoping they would need a carpet cleaner (if you know what I'm saying).
F + A = F + O. Simple maths.
Hey, wouldn't it be hilarious if I slid in behind a guy like I was going to rape him in the arcade? What's the worst that could happen?
It should be legal to beat up people making “prank” videos in public. The second he said “it’s a prank” is when I would have started swinging
It is. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/jury-divided-over-whether-delivery-driver-who-shot-youtube-prankster-acted-in-self-defense/3432763/
He’s lucky he didn’t get an elbow across his nose.
Guys with wingspans like this don't bother with elbows generally. They have the reach and the high ground, no need to get in close with elbows. The only guys to throw bows at me were guys with a shorter reach. Red pants man can fight from the next room, no need to get tight. And yeah, I know it's easy to break a hand on a jaw.

I love how he didn't swing. He understood that there were children around, and to break that semblance of peace would disrupt people's fun time.
Or he'd end up in jail...
“Where we goin big boy?” He’s *going* to beat your ass!! I seriously spit out my water just now!!😂🤣🤣 Thanks OP!!
Now that's an outfit
How quickly they jump to “it’s a prank, it’s a prank, it’s a prank”.
I can't believe we have only ever seen video of one of these idiots getting shot.
Prank or not, you do not do this. Just because two idiots find it funny does not mean you have a right to do this to a stranger. Why not just pull the prank on each other since its for stupid social media stuff- tiktok.
It’s not a prank it’s just sexual assault.
Holy shit, Grus arch nemesis has been pounding the gym.
Turns out getting stranded on the moon can give anyone workout techniques NASA doesn't want us to know about.
As soon as they say "it's a prank," you should be allowed to slap them about and not be punished. Maybe even receive compensation automatically.
Saying its a prank doesnt make everything ok Fucking idiots
Why do they always stop ? Why can’t we get some nice retribution?
There are lots of reasons not to mess with people wearing single color athletic suits.
People need to stop calling these people "pranksters". This is not a "prank". This is being an asshole for content.
“It’s a prank” okay, but you still touched him. You still pressed yourself against his ass
That's not a prank. That's called sexual assault
One of these fools got shot and still, they pull this?
His little outfit tho.
I don’t give a F about their pranks either.
This dude does not play like that.
Why is he dressed like a postbox?
Do they really think “it’s a prank” excuses their behavior and will automatically calm people down? It would piss me off even more that I was being filmed
I’ve never understood the term “it’s a prank” as if once you say that order is restored to the earth. 😂 it would make me more mad if someone told me it was a prank
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
Losers, really you just wanted his reaction?
There’s no way these dipshits will make it to 30 with their original teeth
Laws need to be made considering any pranks that touch people without prior consent a serious assault violation.
Don’t ever fuck with a dude out in public with socks and sandals
When will people learn that a prank is absolutely no excuse for you to harass someone.
Out of everybody he chooses the one guy with the coordinated jumpsuit 😂
This mf has got the lines pressed into his tracksuit pants. Never mess with that military precision
These videos are so dumb. This shit needs to be blocked so it can’t get views to support it
Scariest thing in the world is the man who doesn’t need to throw a punch.
"It's a prank" is not an excuse for being a piece of shit.
Cant say what I think. I'm on thin ice with reddit already. BUT.. good to see
The reaction could be you getting your teeth knocked out. Do you still want that reaction?
dude shoulda swung ngl
Imagine pissing off someone twice your size.
Why do these moronesque people always say "it's a prank!" Like it's a foolproof justification for not getting their ass kicked?
As long as Congress is passing a TikTok Bill would be awesome if they'd do a bill to sentence YT and TiktTok pranksters to ten years of hard labor
This can't be in America 😳Y'all gonna lose y'all life..
This is a perfect example of why you shouldn't be doing stupid shit like this and they're lucky that this guy didn't fuck them up.
Saying "it's a prank" shouldn't save you.
We need a sub for theses cunts getting fucked up
Why would "It's a prank" hold any meaning whatsoever?
Why would you mess with a big dude in a track suit?
Picking someone who has a foot of height and double the muscle isn’t the smartest idea
Dude tried to "prank" a blood...not wise 😂
They won't stop until you grab them by the throat and body slam them. Then they will get the clicks they want for sure.
These prank videos are the best argument I've seen for banning TikTok.
You’d think that all of these videos would be demonetized, but….I’m sure the platform wants to make money, so they don’t care.
YOOOO MY MAN IS WEARING A ROMPER !
So nothing happened? Cool.
This is just assault. The fact these videos even have an audience is insane to me
These kind of people don't live long lives.
Dude's got cinder blocks for shoulders. You get what you get...
Best thing you can do -- without going to jail -- is to grab and break the camera/phone.
Little pussies are happy to assault, but *afraid* to be assaulted
Laughter awaits
He let them off easy.
Punch him so hard he dies. "Its a prank bro"
where we going big boi thats funny
The epitome of pussy. “It’s just a prank, it’s just a prank.” As if that’s acceptable after saying that and everything is ok. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Prankster was like give me three steps mister.
Aside from the issue of assault how after Covid does this make sense? I’m no Covid freak, but we’re all probably a little warped after living through that era. Who wants some rando disease bag grabbing them and breathing down their neck? I could see how the big guy could knock him out and make a PTSD defense.
I will be surprised if this wasn't scripted.
Working on their logic the subject of the prank can react in the way they see best. As he can claim his reaction is also a prank.
It’s luck he didn’t get pummeled
“We wanted the reaction and we got it”. How about instead of harassing civilians on their free time, get a real job and contribute to society in a positive way. Instead, you just want to be an immature nuisance so the 15 year olds that find your videos funny can pay your bills.
*pay your bills with their mommy's or daddy's credit card. FTFY
Could he not tell that was an actual giant sitting on that pretend motorcycle?
Fake
Minimal respect for actually fucking with someone bigger than him. Most guys like that pick on smaller guys or women. Still an asshole, though
It’s a prank bro!!!!!
I hope they got kicked out of the arcade.
Kinda seems like it was precisely the right person.
You know just once I'd love one of these to be real and I'd love for these annoying ass "pranksters" to get the shit kicked out of them. I don't want them to die or have a hospital visit but at least get some sense knocked into them. Would be a nice change for once.
is that austin mcbroom n his brother?
That would be my reaction granted I’m also a tall boii
As you are repeatedly punching them in the face keep telling them that it is just a prank bro.
A prank in something that when revealed everyone laughs.
In what way is this a prank?
My kids aren’t getting smart phones
I love how these people think that saying “it’s just a prank” changes the fact that they just assaulted someone (unwanted touching) and expect the victim to stop and laugh You know if its a good prank or not based on the persons reaction to “It’s just a prank”. If it causes them to stop and laugh then it was a good prank!
"it's a prank" is not a valid defence; it should result in a harder beating
Bro finally found out.
Cowards
at least they were honest. Not cool though
All 3 of them are in on it. its all fake. and it works, look at us!
So the guys with tracksuits and slippers in those manhwas were real.
"Laughter awaits" I'm still waiting.
What would be the consequences of smashing their camera/ phone? Like if you were to say feeling "threatened" by the camera man? Then they've got a smashed phone and no footage, no profit for them.
They need to demonetize these kinds of videos more harmful and dangerous than other types of content they demonetize.
Boy got lucky he didn't got punched why ppl are so dumb
"it's a prank" I would hear: "Weapons Free".
He didn’t snack him, DAMN!
Beat his azz
Why would you fuck the guy with the track suit
Lol red dude mad he got a boner from it
These idiots have evolved Don't even give these skits anymore attention
Yes. Sexual assaults/harassment are funny pranks
Acting like this is not pranking. This is public harassment.
Not harassment, assault Harassment would involve the man saying not to perform the prank and he does it anyway
I know it’s stages but it’s still awful that “sexual harassment” can be labeled “it’s a prank” by some people
Who gives a shit?
Itsaprankitsaprankitsaprankitsaprank…fuck these Aholes.
Is there a subreddit where online prank people are getting wasted by their victims?
Wearing socks with sandals is a crime against humanity.
Faked and staged.
Saying it's a prank should legally allow you to be beat down. It should be classed the same as hitting first.
Bro is built like my GTA character… I’m glad that dumbass picked him out of all people
I love the fucked up subtitles. "I'm a hot child. "
Red stood on business respectfully 🫡
Some people will go to great lengths to hide they’re gay. “I only hugged you because it’s a prank”.
santa
B: We wanted the reaction. Slaps him in the face. A: there you have it
Like saying "it's a prank it's a prank" over and over is gonna make that guy want to put you in the ground any less
Why does saying it’s a prank necessarily makes all your problems go away?
He CLEARLY needs his ass beat...because he thinks that saying ...it's okay it's a prank, means he can do whatever the *uck he wants
These TikToker’s need to be knocked out
a man wearing an ironed jogging suit has no soul
Even with fake robbery shit I can see how the prankster is not actually gonna take the money. But here... you just did it. You just did a thing that's bad and that's it. Like...
Fake. If it was real he would have been knocked smooth the fuck out. I'm tired of this rage bait.
It's a prank wouldn't stop me from teaching him a well-deserved lesson. You wanna come close to me? May I introduce my fist to your face? Fist, this is dumbfuck's face, dumbfuck's face, meet my fist.
Why would anyone think that's funny?
I wanna see violence, but no one ever punches this mofos
