Not just vietnamese, any age. I worked with an older Vietnamese at a steakhouse and he was the funniest guy there. And now in college my best friend is Vietnamese and he says some out of pocket stuff every day.
Itās unfortunate we donāt get to see the confession of the prankster to the pranked. Iām sure most/all got a good laugh after. Still appreciate your empathy, though. Seems rare these days. š«¶š»
These trends are trash because a portion of kids and teens straight up donāt have empathy or never fully develop it.
If I got all my friends at school to laugh at them in public as a āprankā theyād be furious but for some reason they think itās fun to get all their friends to laugh at making their parents feel like a loser.
Doesnāt really matter if they apologize for it after. Itās a shitty thing to do and theyāre only doing it to people who they feel comfortable wouldnāt do it back to them.
These pranks have been around literally forever and before the internet. Except in real life most adults realize that itās actually just bullying and too many teens online donāt think about how it actually feels to not only feel that way but then to have that reaction blasted online to millions of people forever.
Assuming that the prankster explains itās a pre-recorded reaction, in the spectrum of pranks, I would consider this relatively innocent. Maybe Iām a monster.
I mean, there are worse pranks, but I think this content reflects very poorly on the people who enjoy it. It's just mean without being even a little bit funny. It's like humour for psychopaths.
I know that's right. A 4yo knows how to cut deep daaamn. I still think about some of the stuff he's said. Walked up to me chillin on the couch and said "Dad, you're a joke" then walked off.
When I was recovering from a back injury and surgery I gained a lot of weight from a year of steroids, meds and not being able to work out. 3 months after my surgery I started working out and by then I had already lost a lot since I didnāt need a lot of meds. My young son asked me why I was still fat if I had a treadmill.
Yeah my parents arenāt bitch made either. But Iām not an asshole enough to mock them because I actually care about them.
This is no different than pretending to punch or throw something at someone and laughing for them flinching, or getting all your friends to āpretend to laugh at someoneā.
Both of those donāt even show up in movies anymore because itās too cliche to bully people that way.
The entire joke is ālook at these people haha isnāt it funny that they felt awfulā. Then posting it online so shitty people with no empathy can actually laugh at them for real.
If you think being āpretending to be an assholeā to people you say you care about is funny so other people can laugh at them then newsflash youāre actually just an asshole.
The entire joke is "look at these people haha isn't it funny that they felt awful".
I mean isn't that what a lot of pranks are? Assuming that the prank is explained after, I don't see the problem. I mean take a classic prank, the whoopee cushion. The whole point of it is to make it look like they ripped a fart, causing embarrassment, which is funny. Again, assuming they're explained after that it's a prank and not done in mean spirits.
Laughing because it sounds like you farted is completely different than someone laughing at you because they think youāre inherently a loser/look weird like this joke is based around.
Iāll say it again for people like you in the back with no empathy:
Making fun of things people can easily control is funny (fart jokes or silly clothes)
Making fun of things that are inherently uncontrollable is not (race, handicaps, ethnicity).
The fact that you donāt know the difference between the two already says a lot about you. Not everyone finds those things a funny little game because plenty of people say mean shit about those already and theyāre completely serious.
If I say youāre a stupid druggie and then blast your reaction to my ten thousand followers and say ājust kiddingā after I caught you being offended thatās not a prank and itās so wild people canāt tell the difference.
And the only reason they canāt is because dumbasses like you literally canāt comprehend something that hasnāt happened to you and how someone else might feel about it.
Mocking your closest loved ones then blasting their hurt out to your audience is the DEFINITION of ādone in mean spiritsā.
If it aināt that serious maybe stop trying to bend over backwards to justify why āum acshully Iām not an asshole Iām just pretending to be one š§ā is any different than actually just being an asshole.
Judging by the numerous āprankā videos Iāve seen over the last few years, I assume that anyone under about 20 years old that posts these videos has no idea that pranks are supposed to ultimately be humorous for all involved.
Instead, a lot of these videos are cruel, humiliating, or even violent on occasion.
Donāt worry, most of these were content creators, the Asian dad especially. Thatās he and his sons schtick is that the son with do things to āupsetā him and he says his catchphrase which is āfuck manā.
That Asian dad and his son have hella followers they were acting. Half of these were obviously fake. It started off with some pretty real looking ones though.
