This son’s prank on his father could not have gone worse

YouTube has all but killed the prank video. Most of what gets dubbed a “prank” is little more than street harassment or a blatant manipulation of emotions.

In a failed attempt at humor, Deji Olatunji of Comedy Shorts Gamer attempts to prank his father by telling him the home that he’s been working on for two years has burned to the ground.

That’s when things take a turn for the worse. You’ll want to watch this till the end. Suffice to say, Olantunji won’t be trying this one ever again.

Turns out this guy is actually the worst with pranks. Here’s another botched attempt from last year.

When are you going, Deji? Your father sees right through you.
