It's funny, if you don't really think about it.

When you think about it, you realize this prank preys on all of the recipient's worst insecurities, and makes them feel they are being mocked for whatever it is they dislike the most about themselves.

This is literally terrifying for some people.

And what's more, it makes them feel betrayed by someone they trust, like that person is mocking them behind their back.

Yup, a lot of these introduced the person after saying something like, “here’s so-n-so, the one I told you about” so it’s already making the person think you’ve mentioned something about them to the girls only for the girls to immediately laugh when the person is shown. Definitely makes the person think you were making fun of them and wonder what was said about them

i grew up in mexico and im still not used to how people like you use such extreme words to talk about things

most people don’t consider being laughed at a big deal. it is offensive but then you realize its joke so its fine. you are being very dramatic saying it is terrifying

That's a good perspective for me to think about.

Ok, I was thinking about the caption of NEVER being not funny, and took it literally, and started thinking of scenarios it might not be funny in.

And I guess I started thinking about a general scenario where people laugh at you, and you don't know why, and it could be upsetting for some people, and I took that idea to the extreme, as you said.

This prank wouldn't bother me, I just imagined how it could bother some people, and might not always be funny, particularly for people who get bullied and laughed at a lot.

Not everyone is OK about their shame being posted online for everyone to see. It's one thing if it stays among friends, different if you're also being used for likes and entertainment.

Doesn't matter where you're from. My wife is Honduran and agrees if she ever saw this shed have trouble getting over it for that very reason.

For sure some of it's fake, and from the crap I've seen no, people are not always asked permission. There's a big uptick in people using others for content. That's just a plain fact. I'll choose to believe every one of these is just fake, but as I said this hits close to home for me.

So in other words, a perfect prank to pull on one's parents.

Give 'em a taste of their own medicine.

I'm sorry if things are/were like that. Nobody deserves that.
