A look at pranks that ended in death or prison. Ryan Wilson, 16, was shot after asking a stranger if they were ready to die as a prank. TrollStation's bomb hoax landed a cameraman nine months in jail, and a swatter named Brandon got five years for calling SWAT on a livestreamer.
In this video, we're gonna talk about pranks that went wrong. Now I'm gonna be honest with you guys, personally I thought every prank on YouTube was fake. But obviously some pranks are real, I mean, come on guys, for people to be getting shot, for people to, you know, die, get sued, get arrested, for all these things that happen, obviously some pranks are real. I'm not saying every prank is real, but some are real because people have legitimately gone out to do pranks and been shot. For instance, Ryan Wilson was a 16-year-old going around to people pranking them. The prank he was doing was he had a bottle of hair dye and he was walking up to people saying, "Are you ready to die?" And the joke was he would say, "Are you ready to die?" They'd freak out, and then he'd pull out the can and be like, "Dye your hair," and yadda yadda, you know, whatever. So he walked up behind a guy, he said, "Are you ready to die?" The guy turned around and shot and killed him. So a 16-year-old died because he was trying to prank people about dyeing their hair. Another prank that went wrong is Trollstation's bomb hoax prank. Basically, they had a suitcase, they acted like there was a bomb in it, they'd go up, you know, lay it beside people, tell them it's a bomb, run away, yada yada. And basically, the guy who filmed it, the cameraman, is currently, right now, serving a 9-month sentence in jail. He's spending 9 months of his life, 270 days in jail, because he was recording the YouTube video, and it was his idea, he got charged with bomb hoax. 9 months, that's a long time, man. You only live once, and to spend 9 months of your life in a jail because you wanted to record a stupid YouTube video, That's kind of stupid to me, and TrollStation, you guys need to chill. TrollStation does some ridiculously stupid pranks. They're like, you know, here's normal pranksters, here's TrollStation. They're way overboard. They really need to chill out. They do some really stupid stuff. Another prank that went wrong was a swatting prank, and if you don't know what swatting is, basically you find someone that's livestreaming, you know, someone that's doing something and streaming it to multiple people, and then you figure out their address, then you call the police, you say, So-and-so kidnapped my daughter, is threatening to kill her. You give the livestreamer's address, the SWAT team shows up, kicks down the door, and you know, this guy's livestreaming a video game, and all of a sudden in the background you see the SWAT team kick down their door and point guns at them. Swatting is a really big deal. I hate it because I've actually seen people get swatted. You know, they're playing a video game, someone calls the SWAT team, SWAT team kicks down their door, and you could see the SWAT team actually point a gun at his little daughter, and that's just not right. You shouldn't SWAT a guy like that, and a guy should never see people kick down their door and then start pointing weapons at his daughter. He freaked out. But anyways, a guy— the way this went wrong was someone by the name of Brandon called a SWAT team on someone, and SWAT team showed up. Well, eventually they were able to trace back down to Brandon, figure out where he lived, and he is currently serving a 5-year jail sentence for swatting a livestreamer. 5 years in jail just so he could prank someone and get, you know, get some attention momentarily. He's currently serving 5 years. That's a long time, man. For swatting someone, which swatting is a big deal. I'm glad he's in jail because you're wasting the SWAT team's time, you're kicking down someone's door, you're wasting a lot of people's time when you fake SWAT, and so I'm glad that that guy got some jail time. Another prank that went wrong was these two Egyptian people. Now they're popular on Facebook, not YouTube. I don't ever go on Facebook. I don't even remember their name, but apparently they're going up to police in Egypt and they were handing them condom balloons, but they were wrapped up like in presents. And they had opened it up and it was like a condom balloon. I don't know, but apparently they're harassing the police. They found that disrespectful and they're actually facing, potentially, they haven't been charged yet, but potentially facing 6 months in jail for harassing the police and being disrespectful in public or something like that. I don't remember the exact charge. And also a fine up to £10,000, which I have no idea what that is in American dollars because, yeah. So just, that one, that one's not as bad to me. I don't really feel like they should face jail time just for you know, handing them a fake present. It was obviously a joke. And the last thing I wanted to talk about is Vitaly, and the reason I wanted to talk about Vitaly is because he's actually pranked his wife into thinking that he killed her child twice. Uh, if you've spent any time on YouTube, you've probably seen the videos. If not, just look it up. And, uh, I hope Vitaly's pranks are fake, but at the same time, I hope they're real, because, you know, if his pranks are fake, then he's tricked tens of millions of people, but if his pranks are real, The two times he made his wife think that he killed her son, I would hate to be her. I don't even know why I brought that up, but have you ever thought about that? Like, some of the pranks Vitaly does, he's one of the most famous pranksters out there, like, some, I want them to be fake because they're so mean sometimes to people, but at the same time I want them to be real because if they're fake, then he's lied to literally tens of millions of people. I don't know what I'm saying. That's pretty much the video, those are pranks that went wrong. Hopefully you guys enjoyed and let me know what you guys think.
