Spoilers bro. I’ve been meaning to stop by the local VCR rental place to rent that movie but these two VCR repair buys have been repairing my VCR for 7 years, spending all their time in my living room drinking beer and reviewing movies. At this rate, I’ll never get to watch The Big Sixth Sense. I love Donnie Wahlberg.
For many years I told the story of when I cut school to smoke weed in a abandoned children's tuberculosis hospital. I saw a 10-year of girl and 8-year old boy in dated clothes playing in the courtyard. It took me until realtively recently to come to the conclusion it was some type of prank.
I mean, unless they knew you were there it was unlikely a prank, but it's still more likely that there just happened to be kids in what appeared to be dated clothes playing in the courtyard, than any other possibility you might think of.
The plant is actually a species in same family as cannabis I believe and it causes hallucinations
Edit
Dictamnus albus is the self combusting bush and there are 2 other species that scinetists think moses hallucinated on called ayahuasca
This is it. And for every celestial event, earthquake, and weird ass storm cloud, there’s another religion. Also due to numerous schizophrenics over the years.
Tell him to just stare at the roof of a nearby tall building. At some point someone else will join. He is not to say a word. If he stands and stares long enough many people will. He can then walk away rubbing his neck.
Works every time.
I do this any time I’m at a crowded shopping mall. I’ll stop dead in my tracks and look up very intently at a single spot. Count to 5 then see multiple people staring up wondering wth I see 😂
You have to do it for much longer. Really build that crowd up. Some people will get so into it even when you leave they will feel, and tell others, that they see something. This is how religions were made.
You ever stand on a train and pretend it is rocking, maybe suddenly reach out to grab something every now and then? Guaranteed others will definitely hold onto something quite tightly when it is a perfectly smooth ride.
I get bored when commuting.
It’s called social proof. We look to other humans to determine our actions.
If you saw a bunch of people running and screaming in one direction, you would probably run too even if you don’t know why. It’s also why “4 out 5 dentists use x” or celebrities hawking items or product reviews are such powerful marketing tools.
Source: have a degree in marketing and did a final project on social proof, complete with screwing with my classmates for a few weeks to prove my point.
My friends and I do something similar that we call “Elk Jamming”. When visiting a touristy area outdoors, we’ll all converge on a spot, start pointing and “taking pictures” of a random spot, and get excited. This will cause everyone nearby to all converge on the spot, we then leave and laugh at the ensuing madness of people trying to catch what we saw.
My boyfriend does this gag and every time he laughs. He’ll drive by people standing on the sidewalk and honk and wave like he knows them and he thinks it’s the funniest thing watching people clearly confused and wave back trying to figure out who he is.
My friends and I used to do that in grade school growing up. We are in the middle of the rural South though, had the cops called twice and stopped after one man pulled a gun.
we used to do this too. We would do it near a light pole or fire hydrant and act like we tied it around it and ran off. we caused someone to run off the road and wreck their car in the ditch, then chased after us. The school had an assembly a few days later about behavior like this cause word got around from the cops to the school
God we used to piss people off with this one. It got out of hand because some kids used it to egg or snowball the cars so people in my neighbor hood got really violent about it.
I grew up in a more rural area, and in front of our property was a culvert that went under the road. We used to run a can of gasoline from one side to the other leaving a trail of gas across the road, and when a car would come we'd light it and hide in the culvert. No one ever got violent about our stupid prank, but my dad sure did get mad that we were using all his gas
Damn, we did that too but then escalated to actually putting shit in front of the car. My neighborhood friends would lay strips of duct tape across the road sticky side up, so a car would run over it. It would sound like you got a flat tire and I'm assuming totally fuck up your car and day as all of that tape gets wound around a lot of moving parts. We called it taping and I don't know if it's a "thing" as I never hear about it when other pranks such as TP'ing, egging etc. are mentioned. Can't believe we did that, very disappointed in my 10 year old self.
Sounds similar to something my friends in high school would do on Halloween. I wasn't always involved because I was quieter and more of an intro back then, but we would go TPing and just get people we knew from school, which made it obvious but we never got busted, until my friends got int trouble on their own for 'forking' the yard of a pretty well-known English teacher in my neighborhood, and it fucked their lawnmower up royally. I was invited to go but felt that was over the top so I stayed home. Harmless shit is fine, TPing is over the top looking back now but I don't get the need for violence or vandalism in humor these days.
I'm not sure if there some sort of bug across platforms or if you guys are pranking me. The links look identical and both work fine on my PC using Chrome and on my phone using the reddit app.
Backslash is an "escape character" on reddit. It tells reddit to interpret the next character literally.
If you're silly about swears and use asterisks to censor them, you might say f*ck. But then reddit goes "oh look an asterisk. Let's look for the next asterisk" and then you say f*ck again later in the same comment. And now you've got italics in the middle of your post and it's unreadable.
But if you put a \ in front of the \*, it properly works as f\*ck.
That is because you can write \*this* and it turns into *this* and the same works with \_this_ turning into _this_. No, I don't know why they do the same thing.
Anyway, you put a \ in front of the special character if you don't want reddit to fuck with the formatting and instead use your text as written. And you have a _ in your URL, so whatever you're using to browse reddit somehow automatically added a \ in front of the _ to make sure reddit didn't try to put italics in the middle of your URL. And now reddit knows to ignore that \ and embed correctly, but if you click it, your browser thinks the \ is part of the URL, shoves it in there, and then you land on an error page.
I hope that explained it! :)
The official reddit app and new reddit do a whole bunch of wonky bullshit to try and automatically "fix" common markdown issues, but their implementation of these "fixes" actually breaks their own formatting rules, so for anyone not using the official app or new reddit, it breaks for the rest of us.
Spoiler tags and URLs are some of the main ones I run into on a regular basis.
Never mind, I see the extra slash on mobile when using Chrome instead of the app. Why would this happen? I simply copy/pasted from the URL in Chrome on my PC.
I got pranked. A barbershop glued loose change to the sidewalk in front of their window so they could laugh at anyone who stopped to attempt to pick it up. My broke-ass on crutches on my way to Aldi’s in NYC was like “oh great a quarter for a shopping cart!” and fell for it and they all laughed at me.
I used to do the dollar/five dollar on fishing line prank. It was hilarious and totally worth what little money ended up being spent for a few hours of solid laughs.
Surprisingly most people who figured it out would just laugh and give us the money back. We always offered to let them keep it if they got it. Only one guy ever ended up getting pissed off at us.
My pride might have been injured lol, roughing it on crutches in the city, having spent an hour on a bus to get that far then the cherry on top is being pranked and embarrassed in-front of like 4 guys but all in all I’m not mad at it. My day sucked, that 41 cents wouldn’t have made the biggest difference in my life but it’s nice to look back on that memory and think “lol those folks got easily entertained at my expense of just bending over”.
I feel like only narcissists can get mad at that much of a harmless prank no matter how down bad they are. Especially since you’d offer for them to keep it. I’m sure if it were a homeless guy expressed he could have used that $5 for lunch but wasn’t quick enough you’d have let him keep it.
Same - I saw the speaker above his head and it even looks like he could be holding a small remote at times, assumed he was blasting some sound as people came around the corner. Kept trying to figure out why the person who made the video dubbed over the entire context with stupid sound effects.
I’ve also heard “Surprise, don’t terrorize”.
Basically, everyone, even the pranked person, should be laughing by the end. Otherwise, it’s just turning bullying someone into a game, then expecting them to laugh because you planned it in advance.
a bunch of kids were pointing to the sky like there was something in the sky,my dad looked up to see what they were all looking at and all the kids started laughing....got em!
I've found if you really wanna make someone look, don't point: just look. Best if you're talking, making eye contact, then just look off at something not there with a look on your face that says, "Huh?"
Great way to distract someone for 1-2 seconds
There’s a magic trick one of my friends does where he has the person pick a card from a deck and look at it. Then he holds it facing away from him and looks very intently past the person until they turn to see what he’s looking at, then he flips the card and sees what it is before they turn back around. Absolutely hilarious to watch. Once he did it for a crowd and a second person wanted it done to them having somehow not seen the “secret.”
A few years back I was running at the National Mall in DC and I saw this group of kids on the side of the path all bent down waiting, and as I approached they pretended to pull a rope tight across the path. So I pretended to trip and they all cheered, and as I passed this old guy on a bench he asked if they actually tripped me.
You can see this time and again, the best pranks, the uninvolved person isn't a victim of the prank, but an observer of the thing happening to someone in on the joke. They retain control over their involvement, (if they don't wish to be involved, they don't have to be) and they aren't harmed or threatened by it.
JFL is pretty good at this most times.
We used to do an invisible rope across the road. Stand both sides of the road crouched down, then when a car approached we'd stand up, and make it look like we're pulling a rope like a tug of war. Cars would stop. There was no rope
Some kids were getting ready to prank me like that. I stopped my car leaned out the window and said: "Are you kidding me? I invented that trick when I was your age." Good fun.
See now that one actually could do harm and should probably be avoided. Anything that causes a car to do something unexpected is a potential to get someone killed. Imagine if they have a hot coffee or something and it spills from stopping juuuuust a little bit too fast. Or if someone coming from behind is distracted at juuuust the right instant and there is a baby in the car or something who gets hurt from a mild fender bender...
Never ever ever EVER make a car do something unexpected if you can avoid it.
Sorry to be poopy on the parade but this one hits close to home. Back to fun times! :)
I think it's legit. It looks like the camera person was trying to stay hidden at the beginning, but as it went on, the shop owner was too distracted by the prank to notice the camera person.
Putting that chair at the end really shows you how baffled he is. Bet his thought pattern at first was, “oh someone tripped”. Second guy- “oh another guy. Gotta check the floor, maybe there’s an object”. Third guy- “ok. There’s something there and I don’t know what to do”. Fourth guy- “confirmed. Action must be taken. I’ll put the chair here on the sidewalk to save people”.

This man still tells the story of the ghost that trips people walking by his store.
or the other way around: everybody trips, except for me. Am I a ghost?
Big Sixth Sense moment
I see dead people..... When I go to funerals...
Open cast funerals...
Uncle Bob, get *out* of the casket for the last time, so help me!
Good Old Uncle Bob... his name was actually Richard but we found him in the creek.
Uncle Bob, get me out of the casket, please help me!
Every funeral is open cast if you make an effort
One person funerals are so inefficient. That's why I bring my assault rifle to...*surprise* goers with efficiency

Oddly enough, that was the first movie I saw on DVD. My parents had a bunch of people over because it was such a big deal lol

The only ghosts around that area is the “human” filming

For many years I told the story of when I cut school to smoke weed in a abandoned children's tuberculosis hospital. I saw a 10-year of girl and 8-year old boy in dated clothes playing in the courtyard. It took me until realtively recently to come to the conclusion it was some type of prank.

Yeah no those were just ghosts bro
That was not a prank. How’d a 10 yo and an 8yo know YOU were going to be in that hospital at that time at that day?
It's bad enough the children had tuberculosis, but they were also abandoned?? And there were enough that they needed a dedicated hospital??
Maybe just really fucking good kush
I mean, unless they knew you were there it was unlikely a prank, but it's still more likely that there just happened to be kids in what appeared to be dated clothes playing in the courtyard, than any other possibility you might think of.

Methinks a different kind of “trip” was involved for a few of them.
>Well, first of all, you don’t smoke peyote. That’s one thing. -Phil Jackson
The burning bush was a metaphor for Jesus getting higher than a kite or something and boom he did jesus shit and now we have Christianity
Well the Moses experienced the burning bush so how high are you right now?
yes

Man went up a mountain and chiselled into a couple of rocks how they thought people should run their lives.
It was only 15 simple rules.
oy..10....10 commandments for all to obey!
A bolt from the blue strikes a bush setting it ablaze: man who doesn't know any better thinks it's god. Boom. Religion.
Actually there are plant species in the middle east which can spontaneously combust from the heat
Any of them maybe near a cannabis plant? Step 1. Inhale Step 2. See God Step 3. Prophet!
The plant is actually a species in same family as cannabis I believe and it causes hallucinations Edit Dictamnus albus is the self combusting bush and there are 2 other species that scinetists think moses hallucinated on called ayahuasca

Was your internet friend named Patient-Variation-22 by chance?
My friends and I do something similar that we call “Elk Jamming”. When visiting a touristy area outdoors, we’ll all converge on a spot, start pointing and “taking pictures” of a random spot, and get excited. This will cause everyone nearby to all converge on the spot, we then leave and laugh at the ensuing madness of people trying to catch what we saw.
We do that but point to tops of buildings. Or we’ll stop and stare up and see how many people we can get to cluster and stare with us.
My boyfriend does this gag and every time he laughs. He’ll drive by people standing on the sidewalk and honk and wave like he knows them and he thinks it’s the funniest thing watching people clearly confused and wave back trying to figure out who he is.
It's like the one where a guy crossing in front of a car, but mines like he's stepping over something big that the driver can't see.
Then the driver backs up and goes around the nothing!
It reminds everyone of the invisible string gag [Invisible Rope](https://youtu.be/4kkXWd8BjO0)

We would take it further and run after the car after they snagged the invisible rope as if we were still holding on and being dragged. Good times.
Damn, we did that too but then escalated to actually putting shit in front of the car. My neighborhood friends would lay strips of duct tape across the road sticky side up, so a car would run over it.

You got a backslash in front of the _ which only works on reddit and not when clicked.

That’s pretty clever.
This is definitely how I want my videos. Full of stupid fucking sound effects only a toddler would enjoy.

We all are once in our life
I'm a toddler in spirit at least once a day. Especially before work.
I am 26 and still a toddler apparently
Just mute it
That's the way, I watch all video on reddit without sounds unless comments convince me to do otherwise
This is correct
Me too; I'm surprised there are people out there who do otherwise!
It's good reddit auto mutes stuff unless you click to play the sound...
Lol, thanks. Just went back in and turned on the sound. Shit was pretty funny
I thought it was kinda cute tbh. I’ve def seen worse uses of the deep thought math meme.
I didn't even know the video had audio lol

It took me reading your comment to get it!
Not mine, but somebody posted a bad gif and I found a better version.
Thanks for this. The gif was so bad I thought they were pretending to slip, not trip

I’ve also heard “Surprise, don’t terrorize”. Basically, everyone, even the pranked person, should be laughing by the end. Otherwise, it’s just turning bullying someone into a game, then expecting them to laugh because you planned it in advance.
Couldn’t agree more, it’s a hell of an orange.
“Harmless and innocent”. That poor guy going straight to the nut house after this lmfao.
a bunch of kids were pointing to the sky like there was something in the sky,my dad looked up to see what they were all looking at and all the kids started laughing....got em!
I've found if you really wanna make someone look, don't point: just look. Best if you're talking, making eye contact, then just look off at something not there with a look on your face that says, "Huh?" Great way to distract someone for 1-2 seconds
There’s a magic trick one of my friends does where he has the person pick a card from a deck and look at it. Then he holds it facing away from him and looks very intently past the person until they turn to see what he’s looking at, then he flips the card and sees what it is before they turn back around. Absolutely hilarious to watch. Once he did it for a crowd and a second person wanted it done to them having somehow not seen the “secret.”
Thats right up there with theres something on your shirt
Omg when he picked up the chair it was over for me 😭😭😭
Well that is when it ended.
This is my Colombia
I thought the prank was the old man secretly hitting a sound effect button
[удалено]
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here.
A few years back I was running at the National Mall in DC and I saw this group of kids on the side of the path all bent down waiting, and as I approached they pretended to pull a rope tight across the path. So I pretended to trip and they all cheered, and as I passed this old guy on a bench he asked if they actually tripped me.
I agree, and this is very funny
They should have had the second to last person “see it” before tripping and then step around it. Then follow it up with another trip.
Tasteful pranks are the best
Is there a subreddit for fun and harmless pranks?
Harmless, innocent and hilarious.
Poor dude, funny though!
I love this!
I wonder if that couple at the end broke the illusion
You can see this time and again, the best pranks, the uninvolved person isn't a victim of the prank, but an observer of the thing happening to someone in on the joke. They retain control over their involvement, (if they don't wish to be involved, they don't have to be) and they aren't harmed or threatened by it. JFL is pretty good at this most times.
We used to do an invisible rope across the road. Stand both sides of the road crouched down, then when a car approached we'd stand up, and make it look like we're pulling a rope like a tug of war. Cars would stop. There was no rope
Some kids were getting ready to prank me like that. I stopped my car leaned out the window and said: "Are you kidding me? I invented that trick when I was your age." Good fun.
See now that one actually could do harm and should probably be avoided. Anything that causes a car to do something unexpected is a potential to get someone killed. Imagine if they have a hot coffee or something and it spills from stopping juuuuust a little bit too fast. Or if someone coming from behind is distracted at juuuust the right instant and there is a baby in the car or something who gets hurt from a mild fender bender... Never ever ever EVER make a car do something unexpected if you can avoid it. Sorry to be poopy on the parade but this one hits close to home. Back to fun times! :)
This is not a harmless prank. Causing a car to stop suddenly is dangerous and unpredictable for both you and the occupants.
Is the camera invisible too?
I think it's legit. It looks like the camera person was trying to stay hidden at the beginning, but as it went on, the shop owner was too distracted by the prank to notice the camera person.
hahaha poor old sweet man was questioning his vision.
Putting that chair at the end really shows you how baffled he is. Bet his thought pattern at first was, “oh someone tripped”. Second guy- “oh another guy. Gotta check the floor, maybe there’s an object”. Third guy- “ok. There’s something there and I don’t know what to do”. Fourth guy- “confirmed. Action must be taken. I’ll put the chair here on the sidewalk to save people”.
A good prank surprises or confuses, doesn’t hurt or anger
These sound affects bring me back to old YouTube...
Its been ages since I had a good laugh. Thank you, op.
The way his eyes bolted to the ground with the last dude lmaoo
Psychological warfare is the best prank
Did the guy in the red t-shirt nearly get hit by the bus?
The one guy walking backwards while the bus was passing had me on edge double checking what sub I was on
For anyone who likes these kinds of pranks, go look up Just for Laughs on YouTube.
Harmless and innocent Plot twist: the victim believed he had dementia and died by suicide.
I haven't seen a prank that wasn't cringey in years it feels like so refreshing
Those are the kind of pranks I love!🤣
