genuinely, to me, a child telling their parents "no, it says take one, why are you doing that?" is one of the most heartbreaking occurrences out there. you are witnessing innocence get overwritten.
Seeing the child pleading and failing to convince her mother not to take it all broke my heart. Her child seems like a wonderful person and she is just dragging her child down and teaching her a bad mindset. I hope the child keeps its sense moral.
Did he say WHY he is no longer going to bust porch pirates? He terrific,but,IMHO,too easy on the thieves. He said he wouldn’t use the super potent skunk spray because “ that’s just mean?”… come on…these are thieves! Anyway,grateful for what he does…
"This kid thinks he got away with the whole candy bowl. Little does he know, there's a reaper drone circling overhead, and we're about to go weapons-hot on the hellfire missiles."
Sad part is most these kids had parents with them. I heard so many parents this year say things like “remember, just take one!” Or “we have to make sure there’s enough for others!”. In fact one parent explained gently to their toddler “if we take more than one, that means another little kid won’t get that piece and won’t have any candy”.
What's, most likely, even worse is that the kid recognizes bad behavior is being punished really badly (by her mom ofc) and expects the same type of treatment for her own mom showing bad behavior. She prolly doesn't even treat her own kid nicely.
my heart shattered when she said that 🥺 her mom really was so greedy that she did that in front of her child and got told by their child that theyre being bad.
Thank you for telling me the correct gender of the child. I would have had no idea which child they were talking about otherwise. It could have been a child from a different video from 20 years ago for all i knew. I can’t thank you enough for letting me know.
I can't believe that's her mom, especially since the child knows it's wrong. I would've thought if that was her child she would've not said anything since she would've been taught that it's not bad? my guess would be an aunt / older sister idk
@@ThisGuyDannyyy ... Obviously I was being sarcastic, considering NOBODY actually expects a real kid to friggin LOSE THEIR HEAD in a published Mark Rober video...
I thought I was the only person who had tried to eat some, I was the only one at my school who did, everyone else took my word that it wasn't sweet lol.

Hi, if you allow me, I would have a question regarding how they operate, out of curiosity (but this depends on what kind of "trap" you had)... Mark said in the video that in some contraptions, if they sense a sudden change in weight, it triggers. So I'm curious, does it take into account that if a larger group comes, but each one of them takes only one candy (which would be like the same as if only one person taking more), not to trigger?
@@TheBrickagon well it says a sudden change, if your taking only one it would need to be a large group of over 10 for it to trigger, and im guessing it has a short timer.
When he was explaining 10 overengineered innocent pranks to stop candy thieves i was thinking about the logistics of how he was going to use all 10 of them in a single evening. But then he just whips out the "so we placed them in 34 different porches across the US... Oh.... yea i suppose that works. Well done as always Mark, inspiring the next generation of clever minds though funny videos and amazing explanations
and that points out that his network of collaborators must be huge. He talks about the engineering, but the people organizing must be even more impressive
This was hilarious. The little girl in the beginning telling her mom she was being bad was adorable. The part of the little kids dressed as pikachu was funny. I am seriously impressed with everything you did to make sure kids didn’t take more then one
Ok yah I agree. It’s sad that a small child is more mature and knows better then the parents but you kinda have to admit how the little girl was telling her mom not to be bad in her little voice was cute. Come on you have to admit at least that, aside from how sad the situation really is that was cute.
@@anothergamingchannel2656 He heard them. He was looking around for the source. That's the neat thing about ultrasound. It goes through your body and vibrates your inner ear directly.
When I was in high school, over 25 years ago, my family used to make little baggies full of a variety of candy types. My mom went all out. She would make sure that each bag had the same kinds of stuff in it: a couple of lollipops, a few different chocolate bars, etc. Our house was favorite. People came from other towns just to trick or treat on our street. She would line the baggies up in one of her large cake pans, and hold it out for the kids to take one each. I can't remember why, but she set the pan down on the porch for a minute for something and went inside the house. When she came back, the whole pan was gone. Candy and cake pan that she got from her mother, both gone. We walked up and down the street in the dark with flashlights, asking people if they had seen it. We finally found it along the side of the road about a quarter mile away. That was the last year she bothered making the tricked out goody bags.
@@nymalous3428 That's just awful! I'm sorry you and your mom went though that! Just glad you got back your heirloom, and, considering all the trouble she went through to make Halloween enjoyable for everyone!
This was great. I gave out candy this year. Turns out some kids will take handfuls even if you're holding the bowl. But for the most part, people only took one. And there were teenagers trick or treating who politely asked if it was ok if they could have some, which was sweet. My guess is teens get turned away most places.
I stopped at the gas station and there was 4 teens waiting for their ride, in costumes, reviewing their haul. I overheard them talking about the number of houses that turned them away. I think buying them 4 King size candy bars made their night.
Yeah, no one gets turned away at my house. And we have a big lighted candy chute that bring the parents in, too. And a driveway party. It's kind of a thing.
12:22 I don't know but the Pikachu costume got me the most lol His waddle is hilarious for some reason😂 And the dad in the background laughing was the cherry on top
I think it was the combination of the costume being so large and "bubbly" I should say, sorta like those dinosaur costumes. Plus the entire thing feeling like one of those cartoons where whenever the protagonist turns their back, something desirable is there (For example, Spongebob getting some Kandy while waiting for the bus at Rock Bottom)
I mean, I know Halloween was yesterday, but around here the kids went out on Friday and Saturday nights since they weren't school nights. It's easily conceivable that the editing for that part of the video was done in three days.
just LOVE that that mom's little girl, a toddler, had more moral conscience (enough to tell her mom she's being a shithead basically) than her grown mother 🙃
I'm sorry, that Pikachu segment had me in tears. Maybe I'm just tired and loopy, but seeing that giant Pikachu waddle up and down the sidewalk with his arms out, looking back and forth and being utterly confused...dude I couldn't breathe 😂😂😂
Omg the Pikachu one had me dying 🤣 next year definitely bring back the swapping toothbrushes, the police one, and the ultrasonic whispers. My favorites for sure 👍 Also, what happened to the wanted poster one?! Did it get cut or something?
@@SubtoXtratheoretically, it can be set back up, but it’s a lot of work and it seems like nobody actually felt bad for breaking the table, rather they just came up with excuses as to how it wasn’t their fault lol which didn’t really accomplish anything by scare them a little but
I think the sting operation idea would be the most terrifying, like what's worse? getting sprayed by silly string, or thinking you're gonna spend a day or two in juvie?
I love that at least one of the girls complied to do the Fortnite dances, that clip ended too soon, would love to have seen it go on for a few seconds longer.
There must definitely be at least a tiny relationship between porch pirates and candy raiders. Like a higher than average percent of candy raiders grow up into porch pirates
I think the main thing in common with porch pirates and candy thieves is Assholery/narcissism. A group of my classmates were in this video and the one i saw as a narcissist immediately went for more once she saw what was in the bowl as the others didnt take more than 1 and triggered the trap.
Well, I think that for some of the contraptions, it wasn't always clear that they were specifically being punished for being rude and taking other kids' candy, so it comes across more like a general prank. These are children we're dealing with, people whose frontal lobe still has years to fully develop, so they may not connect the dots between taking candy at another house, and now the next house has a bowl that flips over. Heck, it's not even that clear to an adult! This is TRICK or treating season, after all, a trick isn't that out of place whether you've done anything bad or not. We also need to remember that we're most likely seeing only a small fraction of all the footage Mark has. The absolute "best" reactions and apologies may have ended up on the cutting room floor, for any number of reasons. Bad audio, privacy reasons, camera malfunctioning, the kid getting TOO scared of consquences (like the police lights and the news segment) and genuinely needing consolation, etc...
Can we just appreciate that this was uploaded so quickly. Less than a day after Halloween. All the editing, subtitles, etc. Thank you Mark Rober and as well as those who work on the channel!
Check out the years of the video footage at 10:10. If correct, this video has been in the making for at least 4 years. Which is arguably even more impressive than making it in a single day after Halloween.
@@LAWSON08 not really, it just means you're organized enough to not lose track of things for 4 years. It would be very impressive if someone was able to pump this out in this quality in a day. Less impressive that it took 4 days of work over 4 years to create. I'm sure he thought about just abandoning the idea after the first year where he didn't get enough footage to fill the adsense requirements, but he persisted and collected more which is also admirable, but really something that anyone could accomplish.
@@LAWSON08 I think those were videos from the Internet of people getting away with taking too much, and Mark used them as evidence that people taking too much candy has happened in past years
@@LAWSON08It's far easier to set up say 10 different locations for 4 consecutive years than trying to do 40 in one go. No doubt lessons were learned from 2019, making each subsequent year more effective/better camera locations.
I remember going with a friend as a kid and she would always make fun of me for listening to the signs, and I would have absolutely loved getting to rub in something like this happening
I struggle with self governing yet I always knew to follow the honor rule. And I had a friend who'd try to make me do bad things growing up. I think what your friend struggled with was moral obligation. Not self governing.
@@bnobston i dont have any problem with the rest of your comment but the use of the word 'lackadaisical' just reeks of using obscure words to make people think you know what you're talking about. its really petty but it rubs me the wrong way *so* much.
@@cosmosyn2514 no worry's. Apologies for how I commented. I just didn't agree with your choice of words. I think I came off rather harsh and combative. A**hole moment. I changed my comment. I Hope it's better.
If you do that annually in the same neighborhood home prices will drop as all families with kids will be forced at knifepoint by the little tikes to move ;)
@@shinycharizard9221 it lacked creativity not to mention efficiency. each of these required someone watch- and at that point you can just hand them out yourself...like a sane human being. everyone who puts out whole bowls of candy KNOW this is going to happen. they're children...what do you expect...? even adults take things if they know they will get away with it...its human behavior 101.
@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse I don’t think efficiency is the point here though. These pranks are ultimately meant to be fun, not to prevent candy hoarding.

When I was in high school, over 25 years ago, my family used to make little baggies full of a variety of candy types. My mom went all out. She would make sure that each bag had the same kinds of stuff in it: a couple of lollipops, a few different chocolate bars, etc. Our house was favorite. People came from other towns just to trick or treat on our street. She would line the baggies up in one of her large cake pans, and hold it out for the kids to take one each.
I can't remember why, but she set the pan down on the porch for a minute for something and went inside the house. When she came back, the whole pan was gone. Candy and cake pan that she got from her mother, both gone.
We walked up and down the street in the dark with flashlights, asking people if they had seen it. We finally found it along the side of the road about a quarter mile away.
That was the last year she bothered making the tricked out goody bags.
@@nymalous3428 Aw, that's too bad.
@@nymalous3428😭
Any chance you’re in Calgary? Saw a video of a dad taking everything including the bowl there. Disappointing to see the scum we live around
@@nymalous3428 That's just awful! I'm sorry you and your mom went though that! Just glad you got back your heirloom, and, considering all the trouble she went through to make Halloween enjoyable for everyone!
1:01 literally the cutest thing ever
I bet having Mark as a neighbor would be so much fun! haha
My new dream XD
Or it would be the absolute worse if you became the victim of all his experiments 😭
Fun!? "Hey u wanna prank some kids?" "Hey u wanna prank some thieves?"
@@ericstamps4717all fun until he turns on his neighbours
Unless you're a Squirrel.
Nothing like getting some mild embarrassment to make kids think twice about more serious violations in the future. Well done, Mark!
Ah yes, taking too much candy from the bowl, a clear gateway crime.
I like the collapsing table and the squirting one.
@@lolofunslayer4953oh you're the funny brainless guy 😊👍
This was great. I gave out candy this year. Turns out some kids will take handfuls even if you're holding the bowl. But for the most part, people only took one. And there were teenagers trick or treating who politely asked if it was ok if they could have some, which was sweet. My guess is teens get turned away most places.
I honestly don’t care if they’re 20 as long as they dress up!
I stopped at the gas station and there was 4 teens waiting for their ride, in costumes, reviewing their haul. I overheard them talking about the number of houses that turned them away. I think buying them 4 King size candy bars made their night.
Yeah, no one gets turned away at my house. And we have a big lighted candy chute that bring the parents in, too. And a driveway party. It's kind of a thing.
that one spiderman really had a bad day 💀
I like how the guy with the skateboard acted like he is doing a heist for money by kicking the scarecrow and making sure no cameras are around 😂😂
12:22 I don't know but the Pikachu costume got me the most lol His waddle is hilarious for some reason😂 And the dad in the background laughing was the cherry on top
Such a big costume also. Was one of the best parts of the video to me
I think it was the combination of the costume being so large and "bubbly" I should say, sorta like those dinosaur costumes. Plus the entire thing feeling like one of those cartoons where whenever the protagonist turns their back, something desirable is there (For example, Spongebob getting some Kandy while waiting for the bus at Rock Bottom)
SAME I WAS DYING
Yeah made me reconsider hope in humanity and getting a child
@@_-drowsy-_YOU AGAIN?
Mark did your editing team work overtime or was this filmed a year ago?💀
Fr
I mean, I know Halloween was yesterday, but around here the kids went out on Friday and Saturday nights since they weren't school nights. It's easily conceivable that the editing for that part of the video was done in three days.
I've never seen children go out for trick or treating on the days NOT Halloween
@@William_NowinThen you apparently haven't moved around much. Many areas/neighborhoods do it on weekends rather than school nights.
They likely had the first part of the video already edited and ready to go, then just filmed and edited in the actual kids trick-or-treating.
2:27 he looked at the guys like- excuse me, what did you do to my hair????👁👄👁 🤣🤣🤣

Oof wait I commented on the wrong comment
I love that the Plants Vs Zombies "Graze The Roof" theme is playing in the background around 3:50. Excellent video, as always 😁
Bro that minions reaction at 13:46 💀
they are so goofy ☠️
“😦”
Them staring at the camera is weird af😭
Bro was like 👀
😂😂😂
just LOVE that that mom's little girl, a toddler, had more moral conscience (enough to tell her mom she's being a shithead basically) than her grown mother 🙃
13:31 lil boy :asked the candy and "You hear me "
I'm sorry, that Pikachu segment had me in tears. Maybe I'm just tired and loopy, but seeing that giant Pikachu waddle up and down the sidewalk with his arms out, looking back and forth and being utterly confused...dude I couldn't breathe 😂😂😂
That was some cartoon level stuff 😂
*confused pikachu meme*
Same
I WAS DYING TOO LMAO
Omg the Pikachu one had me dying 🤣 next year definitely bring back the swapping toothbrushes, the police one, and the ultrasonic whispers. My favorites for sure 👍 Also, what happened to the wanted poster one?! Did it get cut or something?
The pikachu one was so funny.
I also liked the table breaking one but it can only be used once
@@SubtoXtratheoretically, it can be set back up, but it’s a lot of work and it seems like nobody actually felt bad for breaking the table, rather they just came up with excuses as to how it wasn’t their fault lol which didn’t really accomplish anything by scare them a little but
As soon as he saw the toothbrushes, he radiated pure “surprised pikachu” vibes.
The kids that got ultrasonic whispered were re-evaluating their entire lives.
Yeah where was the wanted poster? 18:36
I think the sting operation idea would be the most terrifying, like what's worse? getting sprayed by silly string, or thinking you're gonna spend a day or two in juvie?
I love that at least one of the girls complied to do the Fortnite dances, that clip ended too soon, would love to have seen it go on for a few seconds longer.
Arrested for crimes against Halloween
That’s what they get for taking too much candy
that is what they get for taking the entire candy in bowl
6:38 psychological warfare is kinx of a war crime so you are committing a mild war crime on kids who take 2 pieces of candy.
Sounds exactly like mark
The real magic trick is the fact that he was able to post this not even 24 hours after getting all this footage
This was in the making for multiple years
Editors and file sharing helps 👊🏻💥👊🏻
facts
Some cities/neighboorhoods had trick-or-treat over the weekend which would allow more time for editing.
All this footage lol. Most of it filmed months ago
I put out a box of candy yesterday with a sign that said "take 2" and of course when I came back the box was gone. Should've watched this first
Oof Thats Sad
yes
I made one that said take 2, and only 1 kid showed up. He could have taken it all.
Did you specify take 2 candy
lol
I like how Mark was willing to consider having trained attack monkeys but that his only concern was the people that only take one piece of candy.
First rule of brainstorming: no idea is a bad idea; some will just be eliminated in review.
This video was not long enough 😩😭 and they’re so awesome!! My favorite was the pikachu and the minions hearing those whispers 🤣🤣
There must definitely be at least a tiny relationship between porch pirates and candy raiders. Like a higher than average percent of candy raiders grow up into porch pirates
Or porch pirates are the parents of candy raiders.
I think the main thing in common with porch pirates and candy thieves is Assholery/narcissism. A group of my classmates were in this video and the one i saw as a narcissist immediately went for more once she saw what was in the bowl as the others didnt take more than 1 and triggered the trap.
@@FireIGuess lol, tell me their disc and ill send them the video link and the time stamp of them if u want
LMAO well deserved@@FireIGuess
My bet is that venn diagram is just a circle.
The sad thing is is that I feel like hardly any of them even felt guilty or learned anything
nope
Well, I think that for some of the contraptions, it wasn't always clear that they were specifically being punished for being rude and taking other kids' candy, so it comes across more like a general prank. These are children we're dealing with, people whose frontal lobe still has years to fully develop, so they may not connect the dots between taking candy at another house, and now the next house has a bowl that flips over. Heck, it's not even that clear to an adult! This is TRICK or treating season, after all, a trick isn't that out of place whether you've done anything bad or not.
We also need to remember that we're most likely seeing only a small fraction of all the footage Mark has. The absolute "best" reactions and apologies may have ended up on the cutting room floor, for any number of reasons. Bad audio, privacy reasons, camera malfunctioning, the kid getting TOO scared of consquences (like the police lights and the news segment) and genuinely needing consolation, etc...
Know Mark he'll do it next year with improvements!
The pikachu going "its still toothbrushes!" and going back and forth was just so funny
10:53 I love this kid is wearing the same costume as the mannequin 😂
“I gotta tell my dad” completely harmless and so hilarious
lol that Dad def didn’t believe it either 😂, kid was probs like “yeah-huh, I was on the news”
I feel so bad for pikachu trying to get the candy being all shocked while the bowl keeps switching to toothbrushes 😂
And adorable
Pikachu's used to shocking things
We don't even know if he was a bad kid though
The house before had a camera to see if the kids took more than 1 candy, none of them are "bad kids" tho
*shocked pikachu meme*
There is just something so funny about giving out tricks on halloween
Go away
@@George-ee3wlwho tf are you bro lmao
The ironic thing is that it’s the trick or treaters that are supposed to do the tricks. It’s an ultimatum, give us treats or we give you tricks.
Wait I never was able to do a trick out of so many Halloweens I’ve experienced
Oh hey I know you :)

Can we just appreciate that this was uploaded so quickly. Less than a day after Halloween. All the editing, subtitles, etc. Thank you Mark Rober and as well as those who work on the channel!
Check out the years of the video footage at 10:10.
If correct, this video has been in the making for at least 4 years. Which is arguably even more impressive than making it in a single day after Halloween.
@@LAWSON08 not really, it just means you're organized enough to not lose track of things for 4 years. It would be very impressive if someone was able to pump this out in this quality in a day. Less impressive that it took 4 days of work over 4 years to create. I'm sure he thought about just abandoning the idea after the first year where he didn't get enough footage to fill the adsense requirements, but he persisted and collected more which is also admirable, but really something that anyone could accomplish.
@@LAWSON08 I think those were videos from the Internet of people getting away with taking too much, and Mark used them as evidence that people taking too much candy has happened in past years
@@LAWSON08It's far easier to set up say 10 different locations for 4 consecutive years than trying to do 40 in one go. No doubt lessons were learned from 2019, making each subsequent year more effective/better camera locations.
@@LAWSON08 Knowing this makes the last one much funnier. That last kid might have really thought they were on the news for 4 years.
I remember going with a friend as a kid and she would always make fun of me for listening to the signs, and I would have absolutely loved getting to rub in something like this happening
your friend was incapable of self governing
I struggle with self governing yet I always knew to follow the honor rule. And I had a friend who'd try to make me do bad things growing up. I think what your friend struggled with was moral obligation. Not self governing.
@@bnobston i dont have any problem with the rest of your comment but the use of the word 'lackadaisical' just reeks of using obscure words to make people think you know what you're talking about. its really petty but it rubs me the wrong way *so* much.

The little girl who just went "...........alright i'll put it back" LMAO. Lesson learned immediately. XD
Underrated observation, majorly respect that learning moment
I love that this is harmless fun and gives the kids a cool story for Halloween! THIS is how you make quality content
This needs to be a yearly event. It was hilarious😂
According to the security camera footage they briefly showed, they have been doing this since at least 2019.
Don't be too enthusiastic
If you do that annually in the same neighborhood home prices will drop as all families with kids will be forced at knifepoint by the little tikes to move ;)
@@KellyWu04 The footage at the beginning wasn't from the Rober prank houses, it was examples of people taking too much candy in the past.

This was really cool and wholesome. Loved it.
this was really boring.
@@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 rong
@@shinycharizard9221 it lacked creativity not to mention efficiency. each of these required someone watch- and at that point you can just hand them out yourself...like a sane human being. everyone who puts out whole bowls of candy KNOW this is going to happen. they're children...what do you expect...? even adults take things if they know they will get away with it...its human behavior 101.
@CircumcisionIsChildAbuse
I don’t think efficiency is the point here though. These pranks are ultimately meant to be fun, not to prevent candy hoarding.
@@CircmcisionIsChi1dAbus3 sounds like you took more than one piece
