I’ll never get over the fact that the two pedestrians are Mikey Day of SNL fame and the guy that plays The Waiter on Always Sunny

I see 2 men ganging up on a woman alone at nighttime.

They should be arrested for assault.

u/Redxluckyxcharms 1d ago

We need some kind of prank law. Too many innocent people are the victims of pranks that aren’t in good nature .

u/maxehaxe 1d ago

Was thinking the same... harassing some old lady for clicks, humanity is really fucked up

u/potatogodofDoom 15h ago

TIL swinging a tiny ball in front of someone and doing a nonsensical chant is harassment

EXACTLY!!! This was a really harmless prank, but the lady made it way more dramatic than it needed to be

-1

u/nel3ab 12h ago

No, not exactly at all and in no way harmless. The lady could have gotten hit by a car or a bus while crossing the road. Context is important here, it's clear that she's from a 3rd world country where most of the old generation, especially women have no formal education and a significant portion of society actually believes in sorcery. There is a reason she was selected for the prank(if it's even real) instead of the young people around.

2

u/schlockabsorber 18h ago

She's older and probably doesn't have the cultural context to know a video prank when she sees one.

u/ScienceMajestic8716 23h ago

This is straight up assault.

2

u/kart0ffelsalaat 12h ago

Assault is when you pretend to make your friend fall asleep with a magical trinket?

1

u/ScienceMajestic8716 3h ago

Force your friend unconscious, fixed it for you.

Reverse the genders and everyone will be mad.

1

u/InfernalBiryani 10h ago

I think we use the word “assault” way too liberally sometimes.

1

u/ScienceMajestic8716 3h ago

Assault is defined as fear of impending harm or violence. Its perfect.

Men always support assault and rape, just like you are now.

u/lorarc 1d ago

1) Who are we? You want some law that applies worldwide?

2) Usually it's covered by image rights, you can't just film random people on the streets and post it on the internet without their permission. Though of course smaller content creators don't care.

15

u/20WaysToEatASandwich 1d ago

Number 2 isn't true.

In America, if you're in the public, you can absolutely record someone and post their likeness online. There is no expectation of privacy while you're in public.

The only thing that could be challenged is whether or not the video you posted is monetized.

13

u/144tzer 1d ago edited 1d ago

Indeed. The Daily Show once when into detail about this, about how they always get permission from the wackos they interview, but pointed out that, if they wanted to, they legally have no obligation to only show content with permission or even blur faces, even if requested, and that if they do it's done as a courtesy.

I often see people on Reddit fume that a content creator is illegally making money by filming strangers in public without consent. The truth is that photographing strangers and filming them, even for sale, is legal, barring very specific exceptions:

  • Commercial advertising: Using their likeness to market or endorse a product without a signed release.
  • Private spaces: Filming where someone has a reasonable expectation of privacy, like restrooms or locker rooms.
  • Criminal voyeurism: Capturing illicit or hidden angles, such as "upskirting."
  • Harassment: Following or targeting someone maliciously after being told to stop (this is where most content creators are most culpable).
  • Defamation: Editing the footage falsely to imply they are committing a crime.

u/ScienceMajestic8716 23h ago

Edit: You can't cant assault random people and post the video on the internet.

The first half is a crime by itself.

It's their world, you're just living in it. /S

u/gahidus 14h ago

I mean that's a fine point in some cases, but this prank was silly and fun.

56

u/messier_lahestani 1d ago

I mean, she was probably mostly just scared by being surrounded by a bunch of dudes doing weird shit.

u/joey20e 1d ago

I laughed... Will I go to hell now?

u/SpankaWank66 1d ago

I laughed then I thought if that was my mom, I would totally hate that she experienced that.

u/lancea_longini 1d ago

I thought it was going to end with her getting hit by a vehicle. Whew.

u/recursive_knight 1d ago

I mean she should have known better but it's still just predatory and stupid. I don't get pranks...

17

u/Z3NZY 1d ago

I think it's the gullablility.
Falling for something so obviously stupid, but knowing in the same position I'd be like screw that.

Pretty harmless considering where "pranks" are at now.

Surprisingly satisfying chant thingy - anyone know if it's translatable or just gibberish sounds?

This is almost certainly in Egypt and that's almost definitely gibberish.

So... Out of curiosity... If lady walked out into the street trying to get away from this... And got hit by a car.. That's involuntary manslaughter right?
