10 YouTube Pranks Gone Horribly Wrong
Dragon Ball-Z in the Classroom
In a clear homage to “Dragon Ball Z”, YouTuber Chengman decided to recreate an iconic scene from the anime series when Goku creates the powerful spirit bomb to throw at Frieza….in the middle of a class lecture. Naturally, everyone is confused. However, the real kicker comes when “Goku” throws the spirit bomb (which, in this case, is a stability ball) and it hits a student’s laptop instead of “Frieza”. The prankster checks to see if the student is okay (twice), he then successfully hits Freiza with the spirit bomb and he and his crew dressed up as other iconic Dragon Ball Z characters leave. So while this one may not hit hard in the shock value department, and you may even think it didn’t actually go wrong, it still doesn’t seem to have gone smoothly.

Toxic Slime Dump Prank
Before taking the world of boxing by storm, Jake Paul shot to fame through YouTube. Having frequently posted prank videos (much to the expense of others), one of them is not so fondly remembered. Guising the stunt as a photoshoot, Paul instructed one of his team 10 members, Emilio, to stand inside a garbage bin where pictures would be taken of him. Sounds totally not suspicious right? Little to Emilio’s knowledge, the team 10 crew proceeded to pour toxic slime on him. Naturally, Emilio didn’t react so well to this and the odor was so bad that it stank up the entire Team 10 house. Although Emilio seemingly forgave Paul, looking back on the incident, it now looks even worse considering both Martinez and his twin brother’s claims on Paul since leaving Team 10.
JiDion at Walmart
In one of his many prank videos, JiDion attempted to return used condoms that had hot sauce in them. He even brings fake receipts. However, a visit to a Wal-Mart doesn’t go so great. When asking a female customer a variety of questions pertaining to condoms, the female becomes so appalled that she calls her husband. He arrives on the scene, and the man proceeds to berate him. Luckily, things didn’t get too out of hand as the man just so happened to be the father of someone JiDion knew from high school.
FouseyTUBE Faints
Before entering the forays of boxing and motivational speaking, Yousef Erakat, famously known as FouseyTube, was known for his content which frequently involved pulling pranks and conducting social experiments. His friends, whom Fousey often pulls pranks on, decided it was time for the latter to get a taste of his own medicine. The plan was for Fousey to unexpectedly be greeted by one of his friends that dressed up as a devil spirit. They pulled off the prank, but what they didn’t anticipate was Fousey’s reaction. In the end, no one was laughing, but fortunately Fousey wound up being okay.
Cutting Earphones Gone Wrong
Looking to cut people’s wired headphones, prankster Alex Baskakov, aka Bask, heads to the streets of Compton. Unsurprisingly, he finds that people aren’t too pleased with his antics. He is frequently chased by his victims, but one of them goes so far as to throw him on the ground. Another even winds up pulling a knife on him. We don’t know why he thought this was a good idea to begin with, but, whenever in Compton, please remember to not mess with people’s headphones or just don’t mess with them period.
Stealing a Car
On his somewhat appropriately named YouTube channel TopNotch Idiots, Aris Sureni pulls a wide array of pranks, notably of which involve exhibiting threatening behavior to…well…the last sort of people you’d want to exhibit threatening behavior towards. One of these pranks involved him locking himself inside these people’s cars. While each person he did this to was quite understandably upset, one man was not having any of it, so much so that he quite literally assaulted him and even pulled out a weapon. Although it took a while, the situation was eventually deescalated, and the man even shared his thoughts on Sureni’s content. However, based on the subsequent videos he’s made, it doesn’t seem as though he took the man’s word to heart…
Nelk Boys Go Breaking Bad
Top 20 Hidden Camera Pranks Gone WRONG
The NELK Boys are no strangers to upsetting people with their pranks, but perhaps nothing tops this. Looking to scare some people delivering food, they thought it would be hilarious if they were to greet them in the guise of running a drug operation. They even got an actor playing a police officer involved. While they got the first couple of delivery men pretty good, who even took the prank in good stride, one person was not amused. After being informed that he was pranked, he went into a rage and attacked the actor. Still fired up even after being briefly restrained, he proceeded to threaten the crew and even challenged them to a fight. The NELK Boys pranks know no bounds….
