However, I doubt anyone reading this post has never been hurt by a joke before. Pranks are the same way. A lot of them are harmless, tasteful, and fun, but others just go way to far.
When it comes to pranking, the elephant in the room is that a lot of people get hurt doing practical jokes, and they end up hurting others as well, both physically and mentally. If pranks are designed to be joyous and make people laugh, where do they cross the line? When does pranking go from funny to disturbing? From joyous to painful?
In this video, professional prankster Kevin Brueck is pranked by to two of his friends and colleagues, Roman Atwood and and Dennis Roady. In this prank, the two of them hire 3 actors to pretend to mug Kevin. Normally I am a fan of Roman's pranks, but occasionally he takes things to far. This is one of those times.
In this video, Kevin talks about how the fake muggers literally made him think he was going to be killed. Please watch the video below.
The point I am trying to make is that pranks, although fun at times, can also be taken to far. Use discretion when planning a prank, and do not do anything that has a good chance to mentally or physically harm somebody. Be smart before you prank. Be responsible.
Feel free to leave a comment below if someone has ever pranked you and taken it to far, or just let me know what you think of this video. If you have any thoughts on when a prank becomes more than a prank, please leave them in the comment section below. Thanks!
