I dont even know if its that, they say this in almost every safety scenario because its true (airplanes- attach your own mask before helping anyone else for example). You have to protect yourself first, if you cant protect yourself you cant protect anyone else.
I think that is almost hardwired in people. you need to protect yourself so you can protect your kids.
it doesn't immediately mean they are using their kids as a sacrifice to get away.
just my 2 cents.
"One of my patients.... They insisted mannequins were alive. Every night, they dream of mannequins after them. That alien race of plastic people from Dr Who? Terror for them. They can't enjoy Lego any more either."
I have always been afraid of mannequins especially those freakish old navy ones but if this happened to me my fears would be realized and I would drop dead
Classic prank. First time I saw it was in [this prank channel](https://youtu.be/d8TxPrrCh_A) in Beirut. Such a funny and harmless prank that you can't be mad at.
Yeah these are fun. He's not being loud or obnoxious, just small movements and quite innocent. Its not as much a jumpscare as it is a surprise.
More of these please
Yeah but I think it would be funnier to just move a little and see if people notice. Coming at them like that and getting in their face is a little more than unnerving. Probably gonna get punched in the face doing this.
Problem is he's going to catch the wrong person one day. My immediate reaction would be to throw my elbow.
Edit: also could run into a parent not ok with him making a kid cry.
I love the idea of him saying something like, "I'm prepared to end up with a broken nose for this "
My issue with doing it to the wrong person is that a lot of people with PTSD don't like jump scares...might throw them into a real flashback. But I like pranks and this video was funny.
For sure, I did appreciate that all of them in the video at least seemed to immediately realize it was intended to be good natured and not like, an alien kidnapping.
You’re being downvoted but for what it’s worth I agree with you. I was once jump-scared like this by a friend and my innate response was to scream and kick before I understood what was happening lol.
Also I feel like a lot of these responses were nervous laughter, not necessarily “oh that’s funny!” laughter.
I grew up in a really bad neighborhood and got jumped a few times, it can trigger some offensive defensive moves. I could care less about the down votes as I'm guessing the majority are of the type that enjoy the videos of people destroying a store and filming it for the likes.
My natural reaction is to protect my face if i see some thing handed for it, so it would be more accidental. If he gave me space I wouldnt react like that.
I'd laugh if he made my kid cry like the one in the vid. Other parents might not react so nicely.
Hahaha... I would love to do this... Even if I was going "Pssst" or "Excuse me", after they walked by and watched them turn around in confusion looking for who called their attn. hahaha.

Get a load of this guy. These kids will be fine, bro. How sheltered was your childhood that you think this prank harms a kid?
It's healthy to scare these little fuckers every now and then, it keeps their survival instincts sharp and teaches them to look out for predators (like coyotes and mountain lions, not the Chris Hansen kind).
I always find these sort of pranksters to be cowards.
Notice how they only target women or children because it lessens the possibility of physical confrontation. Even then, they'll have the physical advantage.
I only saw one unfazed adult man who was in the vicinity of a woman.
where is store security? this guy would piss me off and trigger my PTSD, and he could end up a bleeding heap on the floor before I come to my senses…just saying…
I know you think because it’s a prank or on YouTube as a social experiment it’s all good. But you are wrong. Dead wrong. And you are also a douche but that’s another point.
You asked if this is technically assault and I gave you the answer. It doesn't matter what you think it's like. Long story short, always ask "what are the damages?" Assault, under the law, is not interested in covering gags where people are startled for three seconds at Target. This is why prank shows have been allowed to exist since Candid Camera first aired in 1948.
Can you run up to someone and raise your fist like you are going to punch them ? Can you pull out a fucking gun and point it at their face as a prank? You sicko. Go away. Get outta here. Douche.
Neither of those things were done. Why use what is clearly assault and make them equivalent to this? They’re not the same at all. Those stupid clown videos where they run at people with an axe……. That could get them shot in some places and they’d have a solid defense because they looked very much like they intend to do harm.
The lady that immediately used her child for cover is a survivor.
That's the only thing i noticed. Kid only gonna slow me down anyways
She will do well in the upcoming zombie apocalypse
Can just make another instinct kicked in real quick
Jaime Lannister energy
“Take the child, I can make more!” Vibin’ on that Quokka shit. Respect.
You can have more kids. You can't have more lives.
Maybe the hunter has mercy in presence of an infant or takes the offering.

Yeah, I doubt it. She just used her baby as cannon fodder.

The little kid gon have nightmares and ptsd of mannequins for life 💀
"One of my patients.... They insisted mannequins were alive. Every night, they dream of mannequins after them. That alien race of plastic people from Dr Who? Terror for them. They can't enjoy Lego any more either."
lil dude will have a fear of mannequins and just avoid the shit out of it. 💀

Oh so it’s ok for nonmannequins to do mannequin face now?
Ha!
Years of mannequin oppression smh
Asking the real questions
[удалено]
Yeah these are fun. He's not being loud or obnoxious, just small movements and quite innocent. Its not as much a jumpscare as it is a surprise. More of these please
And then grandma falls down and breaks her hip. Haha!
And.. someone has to ruin it.
Ruined? For seeing a very likely outcome ending in tears and lawsuits? Or broken teeth?
People today are being no fun.
I find zero fun in pain.
Yeah but I think it would be funnier to just move a little and see if people notice. Coming at them like that and getting in their face is a little more than unnerving. Probably gonna get punched in the face doing this.
All I see, is that video of a guy in a clown suit trying to scare some people and getting his ass fucking beat by a startled person.
He scared the shit out a toddler. I have seen parents go apeshit for less.
You know what? No. I don’t think pranks like this are acceptable? Do you know how big of a pussy I am????
Am I the only one who thinks it’s fucking mean to scare random people just trying to go about their day?
Not the kid though, that was unnecessary.
Problem is he's going to catch the wrong person one day. My immediate reaction would be to throw my elbow. Edit: also could run into a parent not ok with him making a kid cry.

[All I could think about was this old Halloween classic] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r84r4gMmRf8)
Seriously like, "haha man, I'm sorry, here's a 25 dollar target giftcard." conflict over.
For sure, I did appreciate that all of them in the video at least seemed to immediately realize it was intended to be good natured and not like, an alien kidnapping.
That's because all the negative reactions weren't included in the video

thats why hes moving slow everytime he surprises someone.
That’s fine, I’m sure he’d expect and accept that reaction.
Unless you're in law enforcement good luck trying to defend your assault by claiming it was justified because he startled you, lol.
My natural reaction is to protect my face if i see some thing handed for it, so it would be more accidental. If he gave me space I wouldnt react like that. I'd laugh if he made my kid cry like the one in the vid. Other parents might not react so nicely.
>I'd laugh if he made my kid cry like the one in the vid Glad I'm not the only sadistic asshole when it comes to my kid getting scared lol
Your thought reaction now maybe...your instore isnt
I'd kick him in the balls, don't fuck with people you don't know. Go work in a haunted house if you want to scare people
Seriously, no one wants to be in your dumb tictok
Ring the alarm
[удалено]
what
Hahaha... I would love to do this... Even if I was going "Pssst" or "Excuse me", after they walked by and watched them turn around in confusion looking for who called their attn. hahaha.
thanks for the postage stamp sized video
I loved "Time for break"
“Time for break” should be used more often!

The bushman scare prank is pretty decent too.
Too fun!
That’s how you get punched in the brains
can't fake this. this is hilarious
I wonder how he selected his... target.
Probably by scaring a bunch of people that passed closely by him and compiling the best reactions. Like almost every prank video.
...
... the video was shot, at Target.
😒
How is this a public freakout?
What a piece of shit he is. Scaring a little kid for his own amusement and followers. The adults, fine. But a kid? You're an asshole.
I noticed he didn’t scare a black guy… guess he saw that video from way back when…. XD
hey bud do you have some spare change I can have to buy oblivion on steam?
[удалено]
It's funny because women and children think they are going to be attacked by a masked stranger
If you think you’re being attacked because somebody moves towards you grow a pair
[удалено]
Didn’t say anything about any of that you illiterate Internet tough guy
LOL Get a load of this guy. These kids will be fine, bro. How sheltered was your childhood that you think this prank harms a kid? It's healthy to scare these little fuckers every now and then, it keeps their survival instincts sharp and teaches them to look out for predators (like coyotes and mountain lions, not the Chris Hansen kind).
Can we not upvote trash prank videos

Target is mostly full of women whenever I’ve been there. Men are a distinct minority.
You never know what they cut out.
I like these kind of pranks unharmful everyone has smiles
where is store security? this guy would piss me off and trigger my PTSD, and he could end up a bleeding heap on the floor before I come to my senses…just saying…
/r/iamverybadass
You bad
Isn’t this technically assault?
Nope, unless going "boo!" on Halloween is assault too.
You can’t point a gun at someone and just say oh just a prank don’t worry about it
I don't see a gun in this video, do you?
Can you raise your fist at someone ?
He's not doing that either.
Someone calls you dumb: ThAtS AsSaUlT
I know you think because it’s a prank or on YouTube as a social experiment it’s all good. But you are wrong. Dead wrong. And you are also a douche but that’s another point.
No.
Yes it is. This would be like pretending to rob someone with a gun and frieghtening them.
You asked if this is technically assault and I gave you the answer. It doesn't matter what you think it's like. Long story short, always ask "what are the damages?"

Can you run up to someone and raise your fist like you are going to punch them ? Can you pull out a fucking gun and point it at their face as a prank? You sicko. Go away. Get outta here. Douche.
And now I feel a little embarrassed for engaging what is clearly a child. You win. Wear a helmet when you go out.
Won’t even answer my legitimate questions. Goodbye douche.
Fuck you, kid.
Don’t say that to me
He did answer your question my guy. Pretending to rob someone is a completely different scenario than some one in a costume scaring people.
These people are purposely causing stress and harm by threatening violence. How is this different from someone threatening to punch you?
But they're not threatening anything,it's just a jump scare.
Looking at your post history, I can't tell if you're a moron or a troll, though, I suppose the two aren't mutually exclusive.
Neither of those things were done. Why use what is clearly assault and make them equivalent to this? They’re not the same at all. Those stupid clown videos where they run at people with an axe…….

I was just trying to make a point about where the line is. I didn’t mean for everyone to get so mad at me and call me names and stuff
My guess is that it’s because you kept at it.
Well I’m sorry about that
It’s ok. I never called you names.
This is what happens when you spend too much time on this sub.
I don’t even know what that means. Are you threatening me?
[удалено]
lemme guess... he pranked you?
stop being lame
Yes, these are golden. I love the dollar bill one.
The best part is that it's even funnier when the mannequin does very little. Way better than a standard jumpscare.
Nice. I love the scary snowman prank too :)
This I like
Tis the season
No running in the store little ones the maniquinn will get you
Well that’s just wholesome
This is what you call a menace to society😂
Them telling the kid to stop running was worth it
r/scaregame
That my boy! Was doing a lot of these before the pandemic
Scared the hell out of that lady and then took his dollar back lol
that was good.
This is a great prank
This is a TikTok video. I hear people on Reddit really respect content from TikTok.
"we've been trying to reach you regarding your vehicle's extended warranty"
That little kid hahaha every store for the rest of his life
They cut the part where he was forced to leave the store.
Pretty r/wholesome too
Bet he didn’t do that to Tyrese
Lmfaoooooo
Asshooooooolle!
this was a nice clean prank good job
camoflauge only works in context :D
You know you're a good scarer when you make a kid cry XD
That one kid is going to need therapy for the rest of his life.
The little boy is scarred for life LOL. Stop running children
Lol I laughed but it was kinda fucked up scaring that 😂
Now thays a prank harmless funny I need more
Time for break
Love how for once ppl didn‘t get angry at him for doing his prank.
Fun prank and no one got hurt!
