Hi dudes, I'm Brooke, and I hate pranks, especially the way that they're done for social media.

The idea of making somebody the butt of the joke has never sat right with me, and the definition of what is considered a prank now seems to be extremely vague and all -encompassing.

So like, a bookie cushion is a prank, but felony assault can be as well, depending who you ask.

And don't get me wrong, I love a silly little bit and an LOL and a ha ha ha,

this video, rebranded bullying.

Pranks have been around for hundreds of years and even animals play pranks.

Like my dog, Navy Blue, pranks my dumbass every single day.

Sometimes she swears she has to go potty and I take her outside and then she barks at the air instead.

And then she runs back inside waiting for a treat.

Like, "Got your dumbass.

Reward me, please." And I do.

But while joking and teasing are normal and common, pranks can be taken way too far.

Especially these days when a lot of people are willing to do just about anything to go viral.

Is there a door dasher?

I thought so, but I don't think so.

I guess there isn't a door dasher.

Yeah, man.

I can't hear.

No, I didn't seem like it.

Weird.

I guess it was just the wind.

And in that pursuit of virality, some have turned to fucking over or humiliating their loved ones, recording it, and then posting it for the world to see.

And there are levels to this, but I hate all of them.

Now, I've been toying with the idea of making this video since around last November, actually, and that's because I was inspired, derogatory, by a video that was going really viral of a family

the sister -in -law of the person being pranked that posted it and she said, "Convinced my brother's fiance that we're an intense turkey trot family and that we run a full 10k every Thanksgiving,

including matching t -shirts and a special costume just for her." - One, two, three.

two three we're kidding Are you scared?

We're matching shirts!

But most of the internet, myself included, didn't feel like this was a harmless prank.

They had like matching shirts made fully

and have her in like a turkey hat and a tutu

and everything and I feel like this would have been funny

if it was like a little gag in the moment where for like two minutes they go, "Oh yeah, we're doing a turkey trot on Thanksgiving.

We always do." And then after like a minute or so be like, "Just kidding.

You don't have to worry about it."

to convince somebody that they're about to run a 10k on Thanksgiving morning just to make them feel dumb is weird.

And when they do tell her, she looks like she's like in shock.

And if I'm not mistaken, she looks like she starts crying.

And a lot of people online were also wondering if she trained for this, because if she's being told

that she's about to have to keep up in a 10k with her fiance's family and that they do this every year, most people assumed that she would have trained.

That could be totally reaching though, because that is just conjecture from the internet.

But either way, which is just super mean.

It's also just a super fucking corny prank.

No pun intended, you know, like Thanksgiving.

Like, yeah, you got me.

Now we're all up early as fuck on Thanksgiving in running clothes for no reason.

Good one, guys.

Like, what now?

the another thing about pranks to me is

that a lot of the time it's just somebody being really irritating to be irritating

and then calling that a prank have a great day can you hand it to me

it don't work i need you to hit me oh it don't work

always stop playing with me don't play with somebody else i

don't feel like playing with nobody please i don't i'll just

send it up like why are we pestering a customer service

worker she has to deal with the most insufferable people all day

and walmart is surely not paying her as much as they should be as it is

so why make her job harder than it already is i feel like pranks

irritated me.

They said, we just wanted to celebrate Alexia for earning her master's degree.

you like

you aren't celebrating her you're giving her a chore i don't blame her for being like okay

so do i leave like can i go home

because like what is she gonna do just sit there and loudly pop

isn't the end of the world

but it's just annoying like she just finished her master's degree she's probably tired

and i'm sure there are exceptions but co -workers are not your friends

and it's things like this that put that into perspective

but the most heinous part of this entire video is the

absolute ludicrous amount of printed out ai images of this one

guy they really ran this one guy's one picture through chat gpt 14 times i counted

and have it decorating their entire office from the balloons

and the four oceans worth of water used up to make

these i think this office actually needs to be locked up for their environmental crimes

but whatever that's beside the point aside from

that a stupid prank like this is annoying at worst

but it's not a huge deal

but trust me they get worse a lot of these

that i would consider just irritating are couples pranks

which makes me wonder if they're staged for content

but who knows there genuinely are couples who prank each other like this

and i don't want to yuck anybody's yum

but like in this one he says i don't want to

get my hair wet fun for a second regret forever my hair wet please okay babe

what the fuck did you say don't get my hair wet

you absolute girl it's gonna be hard to get through this video

because i'm already pissed off i understand the idea of like

if you're in a pool or the ocean

or whatever there is a chance that you'll get splashed but

if i've told somebody that i'm trying not to get my hair wet

and they dunk me it would genuinely ruin my day like the prank is just you ignoring my wishes Huh?

And also something that has always driven me crazy about this is the idea

that us girls don't want to get our hair wet

because we're just so vain and shallow and we think we'll look ugly.

But that's just not what's happening.

I'm sure there are people out there who avoid getting their hair wet for looks, but for the most part it's because salt water and chlorine are extremely damaging.

Not to mention that now instead of showering quickly after, you're adding in a hair wash day.

I have tape and extensions, so it's super annoying to wash my hair.

I wash it like every three days because I absolutely hate the feeling of having any oil in my hair, but it is good for your hair your hair to not wash it too frequently.

100

Anyway, when I'm going swimming or just like going in a jacuzzi or something, if I don't care to get it wet, it's not worth the extra like 45 minutes it's gonna take to wash it and dry it and everything.

101

And not to mention in my case, like if I already had it curled, now I have to recurl it.

102

It's just so annoying and inconsiderate.

103

There's a much larger conversation to be had though about men being extremely inconsiderate of their partners in the - No,

104

I don't believe it.

105

- Like what's the joke?

106

That she's fucking sticky now?

107

That's not funny.

108

If this happened to me, no joke, I'm going home.

109

I'm way too OCPD for that, dude.

110

I'm not walking around fucking sticky all day and with

111

that drink all in my hair and like messing up my makeup and on my clothes, like, ugh.

112

Like it's just so inconsiderate.

113

And it also goes back to the weird humiliation from the Thanksgiving prank thing.

114

An actual like fun prank is supposed to be something where when you reveal the prank, everybody's laughing together.

115

Not just bullying one person for your entertainment.

116

But this sticky fucking nightmare reminds me of one of my least favorite prank traditions that there is, which is people smashing someone's face into cake.

117

I'm sure we've all seen this a thousand times.

118

Like it's somebody's birthday and they finish singing happy birthday, they blow out their in the top of the cake.

119

It's stupid, it's gross, and it's a waste of good cake.

120

Or you know how when you wanna smash the birthday girl's face into her cake, but you're facing her, so instead you just rip her by her hair into the cake?

121

You know, you know when that happens?

122

I'm not even joking.

123

I think this is legitimately assault.

124

And the man getting in there to help?

125

Like, dude.

126

Also, why even buy a nice expensive cake if you're not going to be able to eat it?

127

the fucking clowns.

128

The thing about smashing somebody's face into cake is

129

that not only is it mean and gross and ruining their hair and makeup, you could also literally take their eye out.

130

A lot of cakes have dowels or similar support rods holding them up inside, so you're giving them a fucking Mortal Kombat finisher on their birthday for no fucking reason.

131

And you can call me paranoid

132

Like guys, this is already bad, but it could have been so much worse.

133

Also, why are we laughing still?

134

It's not fucking funny.

135

She just got hurt.

136

This is gonna be me at any event that serves cake from now on.

137

Cake isn't the only food that gets wasted in these stupid ass pranks though.

138

No sweet is safe, apparently.

139

Like in this stupid piece of poopy shit ass video, he says, "Pranking my wife by smashing her ice cream." "Eat it.

140

It looks so funny, don't it?" "Deeve !" "She started crying.

141

Package has been secured." Oh my fucking god, it's not a prank to just fucking hit people.

142

And of course she's fucking crying.

143

Her husband just fucking smacked her ice cream out of her hand and got it all over her and wasted it.

144

world.

145

This genuinely pisses me the fuck off.

146

Like literally this whole video is just me rage baiting myself.

147

I'm pissed the fuck off.

148

Like maybe I'm just the fun police, but this would have pissed me off so fucking bad.

149

I would have been seeing red.

150

You know, those cartoons where they like make the cartoon like a pressure cooker

151

and like the red comes up here and they're like steam comes out of their ears.

152

That would have been me if you fucked with my fucking soft serve, dude.

153

Oh my God.

154

I love soft serve so much.

155

I'm literally going to order soft serve after I film this.

156

That sounds so good.

157

What's even worse is that there's also a whole trend of men eating Like this one he says, finishing my girlfriend's pregnancy craving to see her reaction.

158

Okay.

159

Okay.

160

Babe, okay?

161

It's not...

162

Babe.

163

Wait, no. I didn't know it was that small.

164

Wait, Delia, wait, no. Don't cry.

165

That, I'm sure it's staged.

166

It has to be staged.

167

If it's not...

168

Also, if it is staged, like, what is the fucking point?

169

I hate rage bait, it's so stupid, like.

170

- Oh!

171

- What am I?

172

- Why would you do that?

173

- I'm sorry, it looks so...

174

Why would you do that?

175

Again, with the soft serve.

176

Is any soft serve safe?

177

I'm so fucking pissed off.

178

Navy's pissed off too, can you hear her?

179

I'm, Navy's sensing my energy from the other room.

180

she feels it i genuinely i hate sharing as it is

181

so these piss me off

182

so bad i'm sure a lot of them are just rage bait

183

or like staged or whatever

184

but like dude i'm someone who like does not share food

185

i don't like sharing food at all i grew up with siblings i don't like to share now

186

that i don't have to even as someone who's not pregnant like

187

if i was getting my food with as like a bit

188

ha ha ha oh my god jump out the window also your girlfriend is pregnant with your child so are you from a baby.

189

Literally and my stupid ass pregnant wife.

190

But as far as like pranking pregnant women, at least he didn't leave her in the middle of the fucking ocean.

191

Like this woman posted, "12 weeks pregnant

192

and trying to face my phobia of deep blue sea when I hear the saxophones getting louder." And side note, I was confused what she meant by deep blue sea.

193

I thought she meant the movie like with the sharks that just glimpses into how shark -pilled my mind is.

194

She's actually talking about like when you go out to open ocean

195

or whatever and it's not crystal clear waters like you can't see through so it's you Bye.

196

The good news is that she did have a follow -up story time where she confirmed

197

that he is in fact her ex now.

198

I was with Mates boyfriend at the time.

199

I said to him, "Please promise she won't leave me in the sea." No, no, no, I won't leave me.

200

I should have known who was gonna because that's just a wind -up person that he is.

201

But the idea of leaving someone out in the middle of the fucking ocean in any case

202

but especially when you know they're particularly afraid of that

203

and just mustered up the courage to face their fears is so fucking cruel.

204

And then I heard the engine start was underwater

205

and I thought no. She said that to this day when she goes out on a boat on vacation or whatever, that she won't jump in the water again.

206

Because this was her one time trying to face her fear and he fucking drove the boat away from her.

207

I just hate the theme of pranks that are just giving people anxiety for no reason, even if it's just for a minute.

208

But before I get too into it,

209

the easiest way to find and speak to a registered dietitian and have it covered by your insurance.

210

I was super excited to meet with the nourished dietitian

211

because I'm a very picky eater

212

and it can be a struggle for me to make sure I'm getting the right nutrients

213

while also not eating the exact same thing every day.

214

My nourished dietitian was super kind and super knowledgeable and empathetic

215

and she gave me a lot of good advice on how to navigate some of the struggles I have with my nutrition.

216

I really liked that she didn't just hand me a pdf of the food pyramid and tell

217

working for me and gave me advice that I could implement alongside of those things.

218

You can meet with their vetted registered dietitians anywhere anytime conveniently over Zoom.

228

229

Now back to me.

230

Like in this TikTok that I'm gonna show you, she makes her mother -in -law think that her son just lost his job as an April fool's joke.

231

Um, have you spoken to Tom?

232

No, why?

233

He got fired.

234

Why? Because he...

235

They all breath -out tested them. On Monday?

236

and He still had alcohol in his system.

237

from the weekend.

238

- And they fired him.

239

- Yeah, and they fired him.

240

Yeah, so he doesn't-- Yeah, because he's the only one that had alcohol in his system.

241

What's in my book in there?

242

Thank you.

243

I know, so now he doesn't have a job.

244

Oh my god.

245

Oh no What's the date today?

246

Five, six, two.

247

- 'Cause I'm like, you dickhead.

248

- You dickhead.

249

- I'm so sorry.

250

Like yeah, April Fools dude, you got her.

251

She believed that her son was unemployed for a second and got really stressed.

252

Like, huh?

253

Good one.

254

I fucking hate April Fools in general too because it's like just

255

because the first day of April you have to fuck with me?

256

"Please don't fuck with me." But speaking of fucking with me, do you guys fuck with me?

257

'Cause if you do, I would really appreciate it if you subscribed.

258

We have actually all been working together to beat MrBeast's subscriber count as it's due exclusively to misogyny

259

that he has more subscribers than I do.

260

So please subscribe for feminism.

261

#SharksBiteBeasts.

262

Thank you.

263

There was a prank trend that went really viral a while back where parents were cracking eggs on their kids' foreheads.

264

- And I crack one egg.

265

- Yes boy.

266

- Hey!

267

Stop.

268

Okay.

269

Okay.

270

Thank you.

271

One, two, three Those are very nice.

272

That wasn't very nice.

273

- Thank you to you.

274

Okay.

275

Like why are we hitting our kids?

276

It's just so fucking sad and mean.

277

Like I'm sure you've gone out of your way to teach your child

278

that they're not supposed to hit other people

279

and then you hit them in the face and they're supposed to like understand the difference there.

280

It's just cruel.

281

Like it's just so fucking mean.

282

Obviously I blur kids faces on my channel.

283

I'm not showing kids, but like

284

so many of them literally just like lose all of the like happiness immediately

285

that they were having from cooking with their parents.

286

Like so many of them were very clearly excited to help in the kitchen

287

and then they just got hit in the fucking face with a super hard object

288

and then got laughed at by the person who's supposed to keep them safe.

289

I know it isn't supposed to be that deep but it is that deep.

290

Some of these kids are so little too and

291

when I say there were like thousands and thousands of videos of parents doing this I am not exaggerating.

292

It is insane.

293

I've also seen a lot of accounts on social media where they do pranks on the general public and it's just harassment.

294

"Spraying people with water prank." What the fuck?!

295

like just so fucking annoying dude and also what

296

if one of the women down there was one of the mermaids from the hit show h2o just add water

297

and now she has to go jump in the ocean before she transforms in front of everybody

298

because you got water on her but you didn't think of

299

that though did you no you didn't think at all or there's this guy who said my favorite night activity

300

Thank you.

301

you Not

302

to be a fucking narc, and this whole video may be just me being the fun police, but that's assault.

303

Throwing liquid on a person is assault.

304

You can't just do that.

305

This looks Bill, fucking stop.

306

Oh my God.

307

And there's this one where he says, throwing water balloons at strangers.

308

That's just so fucking annoying.

309

It's also like nighttime in the last one too.

310

Like, why are we throwing things at people in general?

311

Just leave people alone.

312

The general public did not consent to be in your stupid fucking prank.

313

I'm gonna genuinely lose my sanity if I watch any more of these fucking videos, dude.

314

They genuinely rage bait me so bad.

315

I don't know why you guys forced me to do this.

316

me to do this topic.

317

You guys, that was really mean.

318

But there are pranks that I do like though.

319

I genuinely enjoy like harmless pranks that are just stupid.

320

Like this one the butt of the joke, nobody's day is ruined, nobody's humiliated, and most importantly, nobody's sticky.

321

All right guys, I'm gonna call it right there.

322

For more videos, check out my second channel, Brooksharks Bites, where I post beauty and lifestyle content.

323

A lot of you guys comment asking if I have a makeup or hair tutorial, and I do on my second channel.

324

325

You can also follow me on Instagram and TikTok, and you can join my Patreon.

326

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
