Prank calls like the KFC one were why the Wendy’s I worked at only allowed Managers to answer the phone. Most calls we got were harmless, but ones claiming to be corporate or another Wendy’s had to be immediately passed to me or my GM, and they did happen a few times. One happened when neither of us were present so the manager on duty had an employee call us on their personal phone to listen in. They were also conveniently “concerned about the security system”
Tbh if i was a simple mcdonalds (or whatever) employee who just makes food, if some upper management calls for security checks id redirect that to the manager. Thats not part of my job. I just make burgers. Clearly security sounds like big boy stuff that i got no clue about.
@ if they fell for something that led to damages, they’d be held liable. If it was a harmless prank that they fell for, they’d just get teased about it. The worst a manager fell for was ringing up a phone order (which aren’t allowed for this reason) for 16 baconator triples, 16 large fries and 16 large chocolate-vanilla mixed frosties. Another manager caught it and took over the call to find out it was a bunch of teenagers taking the piss. It never got made, so we didn’t reprimand the manager.
This is such a devastating example of deference to authority- you can get someone to do anything if they think you're their boss or a cop or something.
Middle school curriculum should start teaching that every single phone call and online interaction can be faked. 911 and bank caller ID spoofing is free. Too late to save the grandmas but not too late to save the kids.

These by definition are pranks..just because they are nasty that doesn't mean they are not pranks. "Prank" play a trick or practical joke on (someone).
Also imagine having the power to manipulate people and using it for this shit instead of for good in the world. If I were good at manipulating people, I would use it for something way more useful than this.
I don't understand how you could fall for the second one. If someone told me, "someone's about to hand you a free sample of our apple cider. Please drink it," my first thought would be, "I don't eat or drink anything handed to me by a stranger." I'm a bus driver and sometimes customers give me snacks. I always inspect them before eating. If I can't verify if it's been tampered with, it goes in the trash.
that KFC story almost left me in tears after seeing those poor woman’s faces - it’s easy to look at this with hindsight and think “who would fall for that?” - but when the fear of losing your job is dangled in front of you, you’d do anything, absolutely horrific
I lost sympathy for them when they listened to him say get naked and pee on each other like… they are adults they should know better sorry not sorry. Not saying the pranks are ok either cause they aren’t just saying that in the KFC situation those women look like they have no brain

This is an example of how powerful perceived power is. From an outside perspective, so much of the stuff they're saying is so insanely ridiculous. But to them, in that moment, because it was coming from someone they believe they had authority, they believed it.
You dont usually expect your boss to lie to you, especially when they never had before. But it being women is even wore for the in the moment emotion shit.
We used to get people calling my work pretending to be corporate, problem was I knew the people at corporate and their voices, so if it wasn't one of them, I'd just troll them until I had to do real work, like help a customer.

These pranks are deplorable. But omg I flipped when you said “Best western in Santee, California” I live in Santee, just a couple blocks down from the best western
I do wanna say, like yes- its very easy to say as people who know the context that it's stupid to fall for these things, we would never and i sincerely want to believe id never be that gullible but at the same time theres a lot of research and evidence that humans just... are way more vulnurable to falling to pressure of someone posing as an authority figure or conformity than we realize. There are so many examples of this sort of thing is astounding
The psychological processes behind following orders from ambiguous figures have been thoroughly studied. Most of the commenters who are criticizing the prank victims also would likely fall for similar tricks under the same conditions.
Bingo- We’re all saying “oh I would never! Oh they’re so stupid and gullible!” But I know I would have probably caved into those commands when spoken with such confidence and authority- especially on that rushed timeline not giving a moment to think… I feel horrible for these victims 😔
Exactly. You think you’re above it until you fall for something that’s on its face absurd yourself (and maybe you never realize you fell for it). If everyone saying “they should’ve just used their brains” were the ironclad free thinkers they thought they were, we’d probably live in a much saner world. The best way to not get tricked is to stay aware of your brain’s natural propensity to get tricked.
Man, you ever wonder what would happen if you trained a society to never question authority? I wonder if you'd get folks who cave when presented with a perceived authority figure....hmmm... You might even get them susceptible to things like social engineering or fraud! Wouldn't that be weird? (This complete sarcasm brought to you by my overactive sense of cynicism. 😀 )
@@mason96575 we also have the advantage of being in the future where a lot of this stuff is a lot more publicised and there's more awareness in the age of more ubiquitous internet. Easy to be critical when we come from a time that is more than aware of the potential for all this.

@@anonamatron Seems like some people are missing that him saying to drink it like cider, when you’re already primed to expect cider, is all but an admission that it isn’t cider and some ruse is underway. I can understand how some people aren’t great at logic and identifying hidden premises in regular communication, but for me, I’d have to ask the joker why in the world he just reminded me to drink cider like cider and that conversation is going to result in me not drinking a suspicious liquid, I guarantee. That’s if I hadn’t just said get lost to him because I’m at work and I don’t have time for whatever he’s up to. I’m not blaming the victim, but that lady was already suspicious and needed to trust her gut, even if she couldn’t fully explain what it was telling her. If I tell you this is like that, you know this isn’t exactly that. Maybe “like” is good enough for some things, but if it’s going in my mouth it effing better be what I was told PS: Martinelli’s cider is so good. I highly recommend the real thing. They recommend you drink it chilled, however
When I was a kid we would call people and ask if their refrigerator was running. If they said yes, we said "You better go catch it!" Then we hung up laughing because we thought we were hilarious. We were kids and when we grew up we stopped being dumb. Thankfully we weren't psychopaths like these idiots. This is a whole other level of awful human being.
And people like you are the reason why our country is so soft. Who gives a flying fuck lol you have to be a straight up moron to fall for any of these pranks lmfao I guess you’re just one of those people.
What I find particularly disturbing is that these are grown men, not adolescent boys. Not only is their behavior criminal. It is potentially dangerous. There is something really wrong with these dudes. Grown men playing pee pee pranks. Thats just weird.

Didn’t think it was possible to dislike pranksters even more, thanks Wavy 😂 Sidenote, this really shows how depraved pranksters are - the degree just varies.
It wasnt deadly acid. If it were they would actually feel something, and pretty much immediately. They didnt. I assume it was maybe potassium carbonate which instead becomes caustic, however fire sprinklers by design are made to be relatively safe and the liquid is mainly water. Just dont drink it and dont get it in the eyes, though i think it takes no genius that your clothes are not on your eyes or inside of you and taking them off wouldnt help in that case Also the reason its not just water is probably because of grease which famously doesnt mix with water and famously is located in fast food restaurant kitchens
@ That’s what I’m saying. I feel bad for them but at the same time I can’t really believe they fell for it since absolutely no establishment would have deadly acid just publicly available, “Ah yes, we fry chicken but if you pull that out, everyone burns to death!”, it’s a bit dumb they fell for it.
Why so you feel bad? They were unrealistically stupid. If someone wrote fiction like this, it'd get roasted because no one could possibly be that stupid in real life.
@@jakel2837 Well yeah, that’s true. The same goes for the reception woman to be fair. A company doesn’t just bring a single “tasting sample” if and certainly wouldn’t bring a random employee to bring an opened sample to the hotel. You’d think they’d know that.
When I worked at Blockbuster back in the 90s, we had a few calls where they claimed to be the police and needed me to hold an employee in the back. My response was always the same, 'Okay, we'll deal with it when Officer Joe comes by to pick up the station's rentals'. They'd hang up faster than you'd believe.
Me, too. But the jurisdictional issues must have been real, and we didn't have laws on the books that could be enforced against this, probably still don't. My state had to pass a law against upskirting because existing invasion-of-privacy laws didn't cover it and I'd imagine this is similar, plus being Canadian probably protected him from civil suits as well especially considering that, as an incel living with his mother, he had no assets.
Speak for yourself. You have to be a special kind of stupid to fall for this kind of shit. Some people are just more gullible than others. There’s a reason why scammers mostly target old people and young naive women (which just so happen to be the demographic of these victims here). Life experience makes a huge difference as well. I find that people who have never been through shit in life are often times more gullible and susceptible to being manipulated, especially by authority figures.

I've been a fast food manager since I was 18, a little while back I was on the phone with someone who claimed to be our owner (he knew the actual owners name, as well as our director of operations, and did his accent and everything) and it wasn't until an hour later when I was in front of a bitcoin atm with all the money from the safe and a gas station employee asking me if I was okay before I got a call from my actual GM finally answering my text. What a nightmare
Just thought I'd throw this out there. You're looking really sharp wavy. Really enjoyed this video. I have many thoughts about these people. The earlier internet was a truly wild place.
The KFC one is awful. Literally another prank that was similar had the person in that call SA'd by one of the employees as well while the wife of that rapist literally watched and helped( watch the movie Compliance). It's really sick that people think that sexual blackmail is a prank.
@@OwlQueen375It's actually hilarious. You would have to have a freezing temp IQ to do that. If these people were children or the genuinely disabled it wouldn't be funny. But these are normal, voting people. So no sympathy from me, these people chose to do this, nobody was at gunpoint
If you haven't seen the movie "Compliance", give it a watch. It's terrifying and heartbreaking the pranks people play on an already challenging industry of food service.
Actually that was based on incidents that started in 1994 and went on for 10 years the guy was arrested but got off in the end. The movie Compliance was based on it. It was not Dex or Pranknet
Kind of sad too that people didn't use critical thinking skills. If "deadly spiders" were in my hotel room, I'd um, leave the room. I know there are gullible people all over, but some of these folks went full stupid TBH. Still it was evil to work so hard to find these gullible people. I just want to point that out.
As a protip to anyone who doesn't know how the internet works, every web page ever has an "IP grabber". Your interactions with the page get logged by the web server, and unless the admin of the server manually disabled this, your IP will be captured in traffic logs. Nothing special has to be set up, and the only reason why you'd need a web page to perform the grabbing is if you don't have access to the traffic logs.
That doesn't explain how the journalists went from having an IP address, to having a physical home address let alone full name. You can't just google "IP to address resolver", so unless these journalists were some genius social engineers who SE'd the internet service provider, or had a guy on the inside find it, how did they get to that conclusion? This part puzzles me.
As awful and disgusting as this is, the lesson here is we all need to exercise critical thinking and to not blindly follow instructions from anyone, no matter their authority and especially over a phone. Why would any toxic chemicals be sprayed from a built in system in a restaurant? Why would corporate not want to speak within the chain of command? Etc.
Great storytelling. Because there was no legal acknowledgement that a crime had been committed, the victims of these "pranks" don't qualify for therapy to help them get over their inevitable feelings of vulnerability and shame. Speaking of therapy, these "pranksters" could use some themselves. Jurisdictions had to pass laws prohibiting new uses of technology like upskirting -- have laws been passed to address these kinds of "inciting bad behavior" calls?
Imagine going to prison & telling the other inmates that he's behind bars for tricking people in hotel rooms & making one person drink another person's piss .. I'd imagine other inmates might make him drink their piss as punishment
I blame the parents. If you raise your kid so badly that they can be easily convinced to pee on somebody or hang around during a gas leak then you haven't prepared them for the world.
These incidents are tragic for all of the wrong reasons. All of this can be prevented with good questions and basic science knowledge. 1. Who are you and what exactly is your position within corporate? Why does a KFC not have a functioning fire suppression system? Why does a KFC fire suppression system use lethal, corrosive chemicals? How would urine reduce the effects of said lethal, corrosive chemicals? The jellyfish thing is a myth. Are you KFC or Burger King? 2. How would I be able to catch a bloodborne illness from the previous resident? Why does the hotel have a doctor on staff and have the necessary medical equipment on hand? Why does the apple cider smell weird? 3. If there are poisonous spiders in the room, why not just kill them or inform staff? Poison and venom are not the same thing, and the former is only dangerous when consumed. Why would this scenario call for breaking a window? 4. How and why is there a m----- hiding inside of the walls? Why is it necessary to break the walls myself? 5. Why would I not try to simply run out of the door if there was a gas leak? Why should I be breaking windows and the TV? Any of the questions I just listed would have instantly derailed the pranks. There were multiple single points of failure, and the victims missed all of them.
Welp the victims were caught off guard, they aren't used to being gaslit or social engineered by some online pranksters, this was crazy and new at that time of the internet They fell for it due to the peer pressure, caught off guard, put on the spot etc. They obviously didn't deserve to be ridiculed.
It reminds me of a social experiment where people are instructed to shock other people at increasing intervals and doing it because they were following orders
That's one of the big experiments that get brought up for being unreplicateable. It turned out that the people conducting the experiment discarded any results that didn't follow along with their belief people will do anything following orders.
it would surprise you how more gullible people can be under pressure. it's easy for us to point out how stupid it is but some people really wouldnt notice in the moment 😭😭
Omfg a pranknet vid??? Fuck that was a dark moment for me, I remember during WoW WotLK days playing 15-20hrs a day before I adult-ed up me and some guild mates would join the chat rooms ALOT listening to the "pranks". It got to much for me when they tricked a women at a hotel for hours past midnight till like fucking 6 am.Jerry the grapist was outside her hotel door...my god the genuine fucking fear and trauma she was going through. Yelling constantly "go away go away" crying uncontrollably even with the actual police outside her door she didn't believe it was them. It took her husband who drove from home all the way to the hotel to convince her there was no grapist outside her door. (idk why there was a distance gap between the women and husband but I remember sighing a relief just as the sun was rising outside my window when I heard his voice to calm her down)
@AnotherAustin-z7b the pranksters made her believe THEY were the police when they first called her, they were randomly calling up hotel rooms till they got a victim and told them "were monitoring the cctv systems and we can confirm a wanted grapist is wondering the hallway outside your door". Pranks like this done through the internet has never been done before so every victim they tricked automatically assumed it was legit especially with the way the pranksters worded their conversations with the victims.
longmont potion castle is the only prank caller I can respect, because those calls are actually just bizarre but for the rest quite harmless.

A “U.S marshal”called me and told me they have a wanted criminal coming into the store , I barely remember the plan they set up to catch him but what I do remember being part of the “plan” is I had to take the drawer out and take it to the back also take all the money out the safe and count it while staying on the phone with them the whole time. As I’m halfway through counting the safe my light bulb finally went off and I was like “wait a damn minute” 🤣 I checked my phone and they had hung up a long time ago lmaoo and no “criminal” came in. Just a stupid prank but that was the first time its ever happened to me and I was panicking and scared, just did whatever they said even if it didn’t make sense so I could live to see another day😭
@ I think he planned to tbh & chickened out. He already knew my name & he already knew we were short staffed & only had 2 ppl working at all times which is why the situation was so “dangerous” 😂 now that I look back it was definitely someone that came in the store before & figured it would be something easy to do.
To quote Riley Freeman: "at what point does personal responsibility factor into this equation?". How the hell do you get convinced to piss on someone.....come on man...this is too much.
When people ingrain it into kids heads to never question authority, they grow up to believing anyone to do with power like cops, their boss, or in the KFC instance a health hazard organization. When adults think all authority is trustworthy, of course, they'll believe a poison control team calling is too even if it's not true.

I don't understand how you could fall for the second one. If someone told me, "someone's about to hand you a free sample of our apple cider. Please drink it," my first thought would be, "I don't eat or drink anything handed to me by a stranger." I'm a bus driver and sometimes customers give me snacks. I always inspect them before eating. If I can't verify if it's been tampered with, it goes in the trash.

The psychological processes behind following orders from ambiguous figures have been thoroughly studied.
Most of the commenters who are criticizing the prank victims also would likely fall for similar tricks under the same conditions.
Bingo-
We’re all saying “oh I would never! Oh they’re so stupid and gullible!”
But I know I would have probably caved into those commands when spoken with such confidence and authority- especially on that rushed timeline not giving a moment to think…

Exactly. You think you’re above it until you fall for something that’s on its face absurd yourself (and maybe you never realize you fell for it). If everyone saying “they should’ve just used their brains” were the ironclad free thinkers they thought they were, we’d probably live in a much saner world. The best way to not get tricked is to stay aware of your brain’s natural propensity to get tricked.
Man, you ever wonder what would happen if you trained a society to never question authority? I wonder if you'd get folks who cave when presented with a perceived authority figure....hmmm...

That’s if I hadn’t just said get lost to him because I’m at work and I don’t have time for whatever he’s up to.

I feel sad for Sonya and Fee but also.. why would KFC- or any other establishment have a sprayer full of deadly acid..
It wasnt deadly acid. If it were they would actually feel something, and pretty much immediately. They didnt. I assume it was maybe potassium carbonate which instead becomes caustic, however fire sprinklers by design are made to be relatively safe and the liquid is mainly water. Just dont drink it and dont get it in the eyes, though i think it takes no genius that your clothes are not on your eyes or inside of you and taking them off wouldnt help in that case
Also the reason its not just water is probably because of grease which famously doesnt mix with water and famously is located in fast food restaurant kitchens
@ That’s what I’m saying. I feel bad for them but at the same time I can’t really believe they fell for it since absolutely no establishment would have deadly acid just publicly available, “Ah yes, we fry chicken but if you pull that out, everyone burns to death!”, it’s a bit dumb they fell for it.
@@ghostthelizard Oh so you're saying the pranksters lied to the KFC workers? I can't believe prank callers would be such scalliwags.

As a protip to anyone who doesn't know how the internet works, every web page ever has an "IP grabber". Your interactions with the page get logged by the web server, and unless the admin of the server manually disabled this, your IP will be captured in traffic logs. Nothing special has to be set up, and the only reason why you'd need a web page to perform the grabbing is if you don't have access to the traffic logs.
That doesn't explain how the journalists went from having an IP address, to having a physical home address let alone full name.
You can't just google "IP to address resolver", so unless these journalists were some genius social engineers who SE'd the internet service provider, or had a guy on the inside find it, how did they get to that conclusion? This part puzzles me.
There's a great movie on this theme called Compliance. Intense psychological drama about an authority on the phone gradually pushing boundaries

As awful and disgusting as this is, the lesson here is we all need to exercise critical thinking and to not blindly follow instructions from anyone, no matter their authority and especially over a phone. Why would any toxic chemicals be sprayed from a built in system in a restaurant? Why would corporate not want to speak within the chain of command? Etc.

Great storytelling. Because there was no legal acknowledgement that a crime had been committed, the victims of these "pranks" don't qualify for therapy to help them get over their inevitable feelings of vulnerability and shame.

These incidents are tragic for all of the wrong reasons. All of this can be prevented with good questions and basic science knowledge.
1. Who are you and what exactly is your position within corporate?
Why does a KFC not have a functioning fire suppression system?
Why does a KFC fire suppression system use lethal, corrosive chemicals?
How would urine reduce the effects of said lethal, corrosive chemicals? The jellyfish thing is a myth.
Are you KFC or Burger King?
2. How would I be able to catch a bloodborne illness from the previous resident?
Why does the hotel have a doctor on staff and have the necessary medical equipment on hand?
Why does the apple cider smell weird?
3. If there are poisonous spiders in the room, why not just kill them or inform staff? Poison and venom are not the same thing, and the former is only dangerous when consumed.
Why would this scenario call for breaking a window?
4. How and why is there a m----- hiding inside of the walls?
Why is it necessary to break the walls myself?
5. Why would I not try to simply run out of the door if there was a gas leak?
Why should I be breaking windows and the TV?
Any of the questions I just listed would have instantly derailed the pranks. There were multiple single points of failure, and the victims missed all of them.
Welp the victims were caught off guard, they aren't used to being gaslit or social engineered by some online pranksters, this was crazy and new at that time of the internet
They fell for it due to the peer pressure, caught off guard, put on the spot etc.

It got to much for me when they tricked a women at a hotel for hours past midnight till like fucking 6 am.Jerry the grapist was outside her hotel door...my god the genuine fucking fear and trauma she was going through. Yelling constantly "go away go away" crying uncontrollably even with the actual police outside her door she didn't believe it was them. It took her husband who drove from home all the way to the hotel to convince her there was no grapist outside her door. (idk why there was a distance gap between the women and husband but I remember sighing a relief just as the sun was rising outside my window when I heard his voice to calm her down)
Are you still a loser though? Or did u snap out of it?
Like what why wouldn't she call the police and have them confirm they were there?
@AnotherAustin-z7b the pranksters made her believe THEY were the police when they first called her, they were randomly calling up hotel rooms till they got a victim and told them "were monitoring the cctv systems and we can confirm a wanted grapist is wondering the hallway outside your door". Pranks like this done through the internet has never been done before so every victim they tricked automatically assumed it was legit especially with the way the pranksters worded their conversations with the victims.

As I’m halfway through counting the safe my light bulb finally went off and I was like “wait a damn minute” 🤣 I checked my phone and they had hung up a long time ago lmaoo and no “criminal” came in.

He already knew my name & he already knew we were short staffed & only had 2 ppl working at all times which is why the situation was so “dangerous” 😂 now that I look back it was definitely someone that came in the store before & figured it would be something easy to do.
To quote Riley Freeman: "at what point does personal responsibility factor into this equation?". How the hell do you get convinced to piss on someone.....come on man...this is too much.
When people ingrain it into kids heads to never question authority, they grow up to believing anyone to do with power like cops, their boss, or in the KFC instance a health hazard organization. When adults think all authority is trustworthy, of course, they'll believe a poison control team calling is too even if it's not true.
Deadass riley said that and not huey the intellectual? Crazy

@@ewilly25 S1E2, The Trial Of R. Kelly
@@ewilly25riley still said it out of ignorance. iirc he was tryna defend r kelly by saying it was the victims fault
I'm always considered it a prank if the "victim" can laugh too. This stuff is beyond cruel.
I'm so glad the worst ''prank call'' I did as a kid was to ask someone if their refrigerator was running and then tell the dude to hurry up and catch it or something along those lines. Idk man this stuff is f'ed up.
Haven't finished the video, but all I can think about is the ammount of restitution these clowns are stacking up. Likely millions of dollars in debt over a few pranks is insane. The LOL's be getting spendy.
Edit: Never being arrested or having to pay for damages is the craziest thing I've heard in a while. Good job, Canada.
For as much as people complain about America's justice system, at least we'll arrest people for actual crimes.
I'm glad i stopped to read this comment because otherwise, I'd be sitting through this video on my already terrible night only to find out there's no justice.
@@agentdopkantwhat’s going on? Are you ok
@@twinzzlers Except in California where you only get arrested for asking homeless people to move off of your property, asking people not to do heroin in public, not to rob stores, and you'd better not try to use much water or electricity either!
Canada let a man who removed the head of a random passenger on a bus out of prison... meanwhile they are using Canadian healthcare to eliminate poor people.
Are you poor or disabled? If so Canada wants you non-existing.
Are you a mentally disturbed person who ended another person? If so, Canada wants you to get a second chance.
As a retail worker, i haven't ever activated the ANSIL. I do know that'd I'd have hung up.
What if your boss or someone above your boss was telling you that you'd lose your job if you didn't?
They Dont tell you to, especially over the phone. @anonamatron

I legitimately could not watch this. I tried, several times on different days. I think it's great you're getting this information out there so other people can learn and not be fooled, and I want to support this but I can't provide the watch time so consider this comment my engagement contribution.
Yeah it was a really hard watch. I had to skip past most of them. It is extremely depressing that there are people like that out there, and even sadistic people in these comments that think these perverted, sociopathic "pranks" are funny..
The videos been up for 7 hours how could you have tried multiple times on multiple days
Also if you end up in a situation like this... And you want to help with the engagement of the channel but not that specific content... Pop that sucker onto two times speed and let it play real quick in the background of doing something else
@@DoBetterBeBetter1221 I watched it. Went to sleep. Woke up on a different day. Watched it again. Stopped. Tried again later. It’s been up for over a day just fyi.
I love how genuine your support and honesty is. It's refreshing ngl
This just makes me feel so sad for the victims of these "pranks". Just to think about how upset, confused and humiliated they must have been, and how some of them probably got blamed for the damages they'd caused. People who get their kicks by scaring and upsetting others are just rotten inside. They lack something in themselves and/or their lives that causes them to want to spread their hurt to others.
Yeah, it's not their fault they're susceptible to these evil people. Some of them were actually completely oblivious or even skeptical. These people just straight up don't need to exist. I'm sure all they do is take from the world.
Had to skip to "The Fall of Pranknet", my blood was boiling the more I listened to those disgusting prank calls.
Same here
I had to scrub through certain parts, when that one lady was clearly panicked with the fake gas leak and they kept going I got mad. They really don't care about the panic they're causing.
@@OwlQueen375um… DUH
You've seen the content YOU upload, right? You're the last person to talk about morality 😂
@@OwlQueen375 Because it's really funny to make some idiot break windows, and they feel powerful to be able to control people like that.
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't make it right, but they're high off the power trip. They also view the victims as idiots that deserve what they get for being dumb enough to fall for it when they could easily avoid it by simply not being dumb and falling for it.
Damn!! 2200 views in less than 8 minutes!! Keep up the good work wavy 💪
Look at those caterpillars for eyebrows.
37:30 lmao as a person from Lufkin, I
1) forgot this happened
2) cannot get over the way you said Lufkin 😂
I sorry Wavy, I just can't watch this one. This is the first time I've ever quit one of your vids, see you in the next one.
why
I had to skip a lot of the recordings myself as it was just hard to listen to; the fact that they’re just so casually convincing these distressed people to do disgusting things just leaves a pit in my stomach. I totally understand.
A lot of yall calling these victims stupid would fall for these too
Oh my GAAWWWDDD he looks exactly as expected. He really fit the profile. They all did.
These are not pranks. They are not funny. Some people are just plain evil...
the apple cider one made me laugh
You always kill it, man. What a great video.
