Is This the Cruelest Prank Ever?

2013 will go down in the history of the Internet as the Year of the Prank Video. Some of them have been brilliant, but most have missed the mark. Unfortunately, in an effort to one-up the competition, the pranks have begun to take a dark turn. Allow me to present perhaps the cruelest prank video made to date. Seriously, this is like the Old Yeller of prank videos. There is nothing to see here but sadness on so many levels. I don't know what makes me sadder: the disappointment the guys who agree to a threesome with two hot randos must feel when they find out it's only a prank, or the sadness/disgust I feel for the future bankers who decline their offer because they "have to get to class". It's just devastating to me. They might as well kill a puppy at the end. Please WSO, restore my faith in humanity and at least tell me you'd be on these two like a chicken on a junebug, even if it was only a prank.

I don't know if I would even consider that a prank....just straight up cruelty. I mean where was the big laugh? All I see is two girls APPROACHING random people and asking if they want to have a threesome. No jokes, no banter. All I could think about while watching was "What the hell is a guy supposed to say?" Granted I know that without alcohol involved and during the day I would be very hesitant, but I can see people going the other way.

Now these are pranks

I can't watch Eddie's video or yours right now, but the Yankee's Stadium proposal is the best prank I've ever seen. It would be hard to top that one.

3 minute cringefest.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

This is hilarious seeing their reactions. I'm not overly familiar with the concept here but I would have thought the presence of cameras may have made these guys somewhat sceptical? Then again, some as you see in the video don't seem to mind.

It's hidden cameras, so they don't know the camera is there. The chicks went back afterward and got them to sign a release to use the footage.

Why would you sign that? Did the still think the threesome was on the cards?

You guys have to watch some of Vitaly's videos on YouTube. Absolutely hilarious. You've probably seen his Miami Zombie attack one where he almost gets shot / beat up. His latest one is gold too.

I. Fucking. Love. that video. It's just such a fuck you to everyone who's like that, and I love it. He kills it too.

My response would be. "Eh I've got a better threesome lined up, but y'all can join."

Late to the party here, but definitely not funny. Maybe I have a different thought in my head about what constitutes a "prank"--this doesn't really seem to reach the standard of "prank".

Have to agree with this. Where's the punchline or the schadenfreude in this prank exactly?

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
