This is one of those ubiquitous pranks that never loses it’s edge. It’s so simple, yet so brilliant. Just yell like you’re about to get into a terrible accident and watch the carnage. The look on this guy’s face is absolutely priceless. I can’t tell if he looks like that all the time and it’s just accentuated by the incredible scare, or if his look was created entirely by this prank. Either way it’s a scream. Enjoy.

Key Moment: watch his hand as he squishes his burger when scared. I don’t know what’s better, the fact that he destroyed it or that he fell asleep while eating. Must have been a crazy trip.

Key moment: the neighbor tied up off to the side really scares the shit out of her. Priceless.
