Shallow end of the gene pool.

Definitely one of the dumbest "pranks" I've ever seen. This knucklehead is extremely lucky that his parents aren't attending his funeral.

I was reminded of Deputy Erick Gelhaus and the split second decision he had to make... ETA @ 1:30 is when he confronts a person who has a real gun.

What a dumbass. No sympathy if he gets ventilated with his next stunt; but I would laugh my ass off if someone beat the living tar out of him.

[LOKNLOD]

Reminds me of these:

At least they're providing solid evidence for the defense.

[TGS]

What he's doing isn't only stupid, it's criminal.

As for the killer clown, I just saw that passed around today. Strange this thread came up, because less than 2 hours ago I told a friend that I'd likely shoot him if he were to try chasing me with a chain-saw. Again, not only stupid, but explicitly criminal.

[RoyGBiv]

Mortally stupid.

[Trooper224]

If I was out on patrol and saw that occur I'd now be in Deputy Gelhaus' position.

[SeriousStudent]

I honestly do not understand how any of the people involved could possibly think that was a good idea.

I thought this one was the dumbest of all

People who have lived their entire lives completely disconnected from the consequences of their decisions.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but in that moment the elevator door opens you have time to assess what's going on to someone else, versus somebody leveling what appears to be an AR at you... Either way, they all need the wind knocked out of their sails.

The elevator prank and the clown prank were filmed in foreign countries; iirc the elevator was the UK. Back to the original video though, that guy is genuinely lucky he didn't catch a hot one.

I thought the elevator one was filmed in NY or Chicago..?
Thinkmodo produced it and they're based in NYC.
Still a foreign country, of a sort.

I think the clown one was in Italy, I read somewhere else.

I was about to say, in DC or NYC your odds of being shot are pretty low given that only off duty cops can legally carry there. But Kentucky???? You're just asking to catch hot lead. Where's Raylan Givens when you need him?

If you scare people they will hurt you. I learned this in grade school.
Somebody popping up suddenly in the dark, particularly with a weapon, may be assumed to have fell intent.

I hadn't seen the ghost one, but upon seeing the clown one and this one:

My first thought was, "It's all fun and games until Chucky/Bozo takes 3-5 rounds in the upper thoracic.

...then it's just fun.

The zombie attack prank incident in Miami (maybe, not sure I have the location correct) almost ended with gunplay.

This one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hYDYrdiYX8

made me express mirth audibly.

You're not the only one!

The guys reaction, and reaction time were perfect!

Ive always thought it was an occupational reason why Hollywood writers hate guns. The Scream Trilogy would have ended fast if any of the victims had access to a weapon.
