    In this video a famous singer was ''abducted'' by a group of pranksters pretending to be ISIS soldiers. the video just goes on for far too long and the girl just seems utterly traumatised even after they tell her its not real. I don't know, do people find this funny? did you laugh? Im usually pretty easy going about these things. I usually find the tongue in cheek prank videos actually quite amusing if theyre short and sweet but not this! Especially in light of all the terror attacks of recent and all the innocent people who have died all around the world it just seems really disrespectful to their families as well. Just poor

    A "prank" is not a prank when somebody gets hurt, either physically or emotionally.

    It's a prank when everyone including the victim ends up laughing about it.

    It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

    Most 'pranks' are either entirely faked by attention seekers with a youtube channel, or are carried out by complete sociopaths. I did not find that video at all funny. It was just some person being terrified, crying and traumatised. Other pranks you see are based on racist stereotypes: a whole host of them white morons are trying to get a violent reaction out of some black person, because you know...

    There is no humour there, no cleverness, no wit. Its just dickhead behaviour.

    That's really not funny in the slighest. They should be arrested and charged. That girl thought she was about to be executed....that's pretty sick.

    Sounds like his handy work.

    Went I see pranks like that, I generally think there fake. Hence why I don't find them funny.

    The Cadbury's Milk Tray man made a good living out of it in the 80's

    These two pranksters got charged with impersonating police officers after they pulled some motorists in for speeding and one of them ended up having a heart attack and becoming permanently disabled as a result also.

    I used to love the old Scare Tactics show though. They were excellent.

    I like Vitaly on YouTube too.
