Why Hasn't he pinned a comment yet

"children over the age of 18" hey that's me

Why does the line “WE FAKED A BRAIN INJURY AND MADE A LITTLE GIRL CRY” make me laugh so hard

"children over 18" is actually a pretty accurate way to describe the target audience of prank channels

The girl with the wheelchairs mom was sued for a whole bunch of terrible stuff she did to the kid and her friends

"What are subscribers?" "They're basically like subscribers." "Oh."

the real crime is why these rich peoples houses are so BORING

As someone who does sometimes use a wheelchair, I want to say that I CAN walk. Wheelchairs are just for when I'm super weak, or in too much pain. A lot of us can walk, we aren't fully wheelchair bound all the time. Levels of disabilities vary. That being said, these pranks suck and are bad. Why would you want to scare your parents or partner by pretending you got really hurt? The fuck?

That thing about Piper Rochelle is so haunting in retrospect; because her mom is now being sued by 11 of the kids who participated in the channel for heinous things. Tehmimi has made a video on it; it should be one of the most recent ones to date (if y’all wanna know more). Heads up for mentions of sexual harassment and child endangerment, though.

Imagine accidentally overhearing these people discuss their stupid plan while you’re just trying to buy waffles at the store

A real prank is a prank that has Everyone laughing and happy, not someone crying or traumatized. It is extremely insensitive to pretend to have lost your memory or be missing, and it's horrible to teach kids that that's normal.

Can we talk about how messed up it is to post a "if she says stop then she has to remove her clothing" video? Pretty much telling little kids that consent doesn't matter.

I'm a big fan of the prank they did on the Stranger Things s1 set where Natalia Dyer and Joe Keery put a tomato slice in Charlie Heaton's trailer because they wanted to hear him ask why there was a tomato in his trailer in his Northern English accent. It's so dumb, but Natalia told the story like it was the funniest thing ever and I love that. Stupid little pranks that are funny to literally just the people involved and not done for spectacle.

Imagine the psychological trauma the kids will grow up with, skeptical of every bad event, or never taking anyone seriously

Father: “We’ll do whatever it takes” Also father: *doesn’t give child severe head injury to cause actual permanent amnesia*

These people are fucking despicable. I lost my grandmother last year, she had dementia and could barely remember any of my family. It’s so terrible to have a family member lose every memory of you, it hurts so much more than these people could fucking imagine and the fact that they’re doing it for money and clout makes me want to throw up.

"Pranks" with abusive undertones are how the perpetrators secretly fulfill their weird fetishes. They can't fulfill the fetishes in "real life" because that would be unacceptable, so they use "pranks" as a façade.

"we faked a brain injury and made a little girl cry" where's social services and where's the police to stop this

“Make it believable that he hurt himself” *throws him down the stairs*

As someone who has actually been in a coma and saw how it affected my parents and such, it really sucks to think it’s funny to purposely do that to someone. I didn’t have amnesia (that’s incredibly rare), but I definitely had a while after I woke up where I was not all there and my family worried I wouldn’t ever recover. Thankfully my memory was intact. So yeah. Maybe don’t prank your loved ones that you have gone through a horrific injury and have brain damage. It’s really not funny.

I'm going to Hell but the way the boyfriend says "Remember, omg, remember our song?" and then starts awkwardly humming it has me in tears laughing every time

imagine carrying a kid in your womb for 9 months and birthing it for it to turn out to be a youtube prankster

As shitty as these “pranks” are, I just want to say that the “walking into a medical supply store and leaving in a wheelchair” isn’t unrealistic. Not everyone who uses a wheelchair needs it all the time. I’ve used wheelchairs on and off over the years because of my congenital heart defect causing me to get out of breath really easily, and always got “wHy ArE yOu iN a WhEeLcHaiR iF yOu CaN wAlK?” questions as a kid, and it was deeply annoying

There was a wave of s*icide pranks here in Brazil a few years ago. I’ll tell some, so TW for s*icide themes. They were all horrific, they filmed their loved ones weeping with their limp bodies in their arms just for clout. I remember one girl started a fight with her boyfriend on purpose and then pretended to off herself. I’ll never forget his cries in the hidden camera video, him hugging her tight and apologizing, it was the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen and she had the audacity to laugh at his face when she broke it off. One dude was gonna prank his girlfriend and he made up a really brutal scene with a lot of blood. But when she found his “body”, she didn’t panic, she kept calm and just started calling emergency. And he didn’t like that, he wanted drama, so he broke it off immediately and the rest of the video is just them arguing and him making excuses for himself.

The funniest part is that Drew's mock of them acting is actually better than their acting

“I’m fainting right now” Wow so realistic

It’s devastating to me that these “missing” PRANKS get on trending when several missing persons cases get little to no attention. Imagine the exposure we could get for these ACTUAL missing people if even one KZfaqr just mentioned their name and picture at the end of their videos.

That yellow gown that the Dobre guy is wearing isn't even a gown they give people to wear. Its a contact precaution gown you wear over your clothes when you are going into a room with someone who is under contact precaution for stuff like MRSA or C-DIF. It's literally made to be torn off so you can rip it off while you still have gloves on and never have to touch your actual clothes to your gloves or any contaminated surfaces. Actual hospital gowns are not expensive. I don't know why they didn't just buy one.

@5:10 just a reminder that people with invisible disabilities and chronic pain can and do shift between mobility aids and sometimes not using mobility aids and it doesn’t make them any less disabled!!!

*"do you remember this dog"* "What..is..this" *"ITS A DOG"*

One Dobre brother: "What is KZfaq?" Other Dobre brother: "It's your passion." Um...you're supposed to jog his memory, not just straight up lie to him

7:09 Ok- but that poor little girl. That crying sounded pretty legit

9:23 the “hey mom” after Drew’s inner monologue for the Dobre BROKE ME CJFNDJSN

as someone who’s experienced a close family member having dementia, I don’t think these people realise how traumatising it is to have someone not remember you. I get that most of these are fake and they’re probs all in on it but I’m tired of people making pranks out these actual traumatic experiences

I was gonna make a snarky comment about the mom saying "I'm fainting right now" before going limp, but then I remembered the time when I was feeling really faint and I ended up turning to my mom, saying "I'm going ghost" and just sinking to the floor

I appreciate that the thing Drew wanted to leave in 2020 was not the global pandemic but was instead, prank channels.

Piper Rockelle’s video is even more upsetting in retrospect since all these allegations have come up about the parents being terrible to the kids behind the scenes

if i had amnesia and was surrounded by guys that looked like me id be scared

Can we stop making kids cry for views? Jesus Christ.

I had a TIA in January and losing me memory before I lost consciousness was extremely frustrating. I was in the ER and my neighbor drove me and I couldn’t answer any of the question ( address, social #, etc). And then afterwards when I finally went back to work ( I’m a server ) I couldn’t remember a lot of menu items and what questions to ask. I did such a bad job for a few days and felt like a failure, but I’m glad the dog said my parents would get a divorce

These memory loss pranks are so funny to me, because I actually have diagnosed dissociative amnesia, and this is not what memory loss is like at all

imagine a dog telling u your parents are getting a divorce--

"It's time to prank the boyfriend now" She's like 10 what

"Am I a bad boyfriend?" "..I feel li--" "OR A REALLY GOOD VLOGGER !!!!" yea that abuse prank is starting to feel a bit more grounded in reality

I thought when the little boy said "remember our song" he meant like... when couples decide they have a favourite song and it's "theirs". not their actual song 😩

"Children over the age of 18" - Drew describing his fanbase

I avoid any channel with “family” or “vlogs” in it like the plague.

6:40 Sophie is so sweet and the fact people hate on her and love piper is disgusting

Holding that pug and telling little kids their parents are probably going to get divorced is uhhh..really sad. Also the little girl crying saying it’s not your fault for the brain injury was really upsetting! The poor girl truly believes it and it was actually a pretty intimate moment. Gross

You should just say "hey guy" and then stare at the camera awkwardly for like 20 minutes

fuck, that whole part about hitting the like button killed me

Drew following the constant like and subscribe sequence is such an underrated hilarious part

7:23 OMG THIS IS WHERE THAT SOUND IS FROM. I THINK ABOUT THIS CLIP EVERY DAY

the boyfriend sadly singing his song to his girlfriend made me spit out my sprite 😂

I’m still waiting for the “telling the FBI my girlfriend is a terrorist😮 with access to live 🧨 ” prank

Love how neither the pranker nor the one getting pranked ever blocks the camera accidentally. Don't even turn their back to it.

SO THATS WHERE THAT AUDIO COMES FROM “remember, like- remember our song-“

i know this is a jokey video but i just wanna say: as someone who needs a wheelchair part time, people who do wheelchair pranks are a fucking nightmare and no one takes my disability seriously bcos of them. so fun

as a person who’s lost a loved one to severe dementia, it’s awful seeing someone you love not recognize you, not understand what’s going on, who they are, the sheer terror on their face because they’re so confused and can’t remember what’s happened in the last 5 minutes. these awful awful pranks are so disrespectful. omg thank you guys so much for your kind words, it’s really nice of you all. and i’m also so sorry for all of your losses aswell. it’s such a tragic thing to happen, it’s terrible that it’s so common.

If I was a member of that family, amnesia would BE SALVATION

Love how he defined Subscribers by using the word subscriber.

Oh man, watching actual children talk with that specific influencer cadence is just...it's so fucked up. There is no way in HELL that those kids will be well adjusted adults

“I FAKED my DEATH?😱 **my boyfriend got arrested**”

there's nothing funnier than Drew's "i'm disappointed" face

spoiler... 2021 did not make all our problems go away. life is hell, thanks for giving me hope drew

“youtube is your passion” he says, dispassionately, to a person who has never expressed or experienced genuine human emotions

I'm a paralysed person, horrible motorcycle crash. I broke my T6 and my sternum , I had multiple surgeries . And I can in fact confirm when you get a wheelchair, that's exactly how it goes. You do funny poses, with dogs and glasses with the nurse staff. And then you get to return your wheelchair cause it was all a prank. I hope, oh wait nevermind.

Me and my siblings have been doing this thing where we hide pictures of Bob the Builder around each other's rooms (My siblings share a room and I have my own). THAT'S a prank, not emotionally scarring someone.

hey drew/everyone! As a disabled individual, I felt the need to point out that most disabled people who utilize wheelchairs are ambulatory wheelchair users -- meaning these individuals have physical use of their legs, but use wheelchairs during things like pain flares, dizzy spells, general fatigue, syncope episodes, etc. Wheelchairs are incredibly freeing mobility aids. So many people who benefit from & use wheelchairs can do exactly as this girl did: do jumping jacks or whatever and get right back in it. It doesn't mean they're "faking" anything. With chronic illness and chronic pain, there are good days and bad days; there are some days you can run miles, and some days you get so nauseous or dizzy or full of pain you can't get out of bad. There are fluctuating levels of ability. You can some things one day you can't do the next. Wheelchairs aid in mobility and independence it's a huge misconception from able-bodied people who think that those who use wheelchairs are paralyzed from the waist down and cannot use their legs period. i know it wasn't drew's intention to perpetuate this stereotype, and it was incredibly insensitive and demeaning of that girl's family to use mobility aids and disability like this in such a flagrant way. just wanted to send a little message from the disabled community! thank you :)

As someone who has seen patients struggle to pay for wheelchairs that they NEED, YIIIIIIKES

There is such an insensitive overtone for buying a wheelchair as a joke in a country where people can't afford to buy painkillers

I'm so glad I was born to an Asian family where it is essentially IMPOSSIBLE to prank my parents. They would've disown me prolly if I were to someday

One time, a kid in my school went missing and his friends wouldn’t help because they thought he was pranking everyone. He actually ran away and was found injured. These pranks are too normalized. Edit: you guys don’t have to like it or anything, I just wanted to share that this stuff has actual effects every once in a while.

One of my mottos when it comes to pranks is “confuse, don’t abuse.” I like to mess with my friends in virtually harmless ways that only confuses the shit out of them, like putting photos of Nicolas Cage in odd places or texting them “you forgot your phone at my place” and if they want me to stop, then I stop, no questions asked.

these people seem to not know how memory loss works u don’t just forget literally everything

Can confirm, we did not leave them in the past

There's something so funny about saying "I'm fainting" while pretending to faint, and _then_ your boyfriend acting like you've died. That's like telling someone that you lightly stubbed your toe and they were like "Oh no, you broke your toe!!!"

"Imma get your momma's number and sorry you're parents are probably gonna get divorced." *JESUS CHRIST OKAY THEN-*

2022 and there's still no "up" in sight

WE FAKED A BRAIN INJURY AND WENT MISSING AND MADE OUR KIDS EYES WATER (REAL!!!!) NOT CLICKBAIT (PRANK GONE WRONG)

Here's a thing too many people don't know: there are wheelchair users who can walk (ambulatory wheelchair users). I can walk just fine, my legs work, but I have orthostatic intolerance and debilitating chronic fatigue and I need to use a wheelchair for longer outings with a lot of walking or I get really sick. I help my mom get the chair in and out of the car when I can. You can never assume you know whether or not somebody needs the chair they're using based on if they can stand and walk or not. Anyways. Screw these "pranksters" using trauma and disability as props. edit: misspelling

I like how Marcus lost his memory and donʼt even remember hoodies but remembers english when it's not his first language

"Tomorrow is January 1st 2022"

Sorry hold on, I missed like 5 minutes cos I was laughing at the concept of a guy holding up a glorified rat and going “DO YOU ‘MEMBER THIS DOG!? ITS A DOG?!’ Next time I see my in-laws chihuahua imma hold it in the air and ask everyone if they “remember that dog? It’s a dog.”

the "going missing" prank is horrifying... imagining kids watching this thinking it's funny and deciding to "prank" their families IRL.... i dont wanna think about that

Why is a wheelchair or arm sling required for an “I lost my memory prank” If you’re going to be insensitive for views, at least make it believable

10:28 NOOO NOT LITTLE CAR

My child lost his memory. “Do you remember things I bought for you when you were a child?” Is that the most important thing?

I’m so upset about how young these kids are making this shit.

theres literally people who cant afford wheelchairs THEY NEED but then theres ppl who just buy one FoR jOkeS

“I think my brain injury has caused me to forget the concept of twins”😂😂😂😂

9:40 is like a minute of them just flexing

“woah dude it was just a prank” “You stormed the fucking U.S. capitol”

Okay, with the wheelchair thing. There is a range of disability in which some people can walk fine but still need a wheelchair (it could be for a multitude of reasons, such as walking for too long hurts the person). That aside, that girl faking everything for a prank is extremely disheartening

4:27 "hi i just got in a very bad car accident, and oermanently can't walk. Can i have a eelchair?" "Sorry, a girl took the last one for a prank video"

11:07 I’m dying over the fiction of them bringing him back to his own house, were he presumably keeps all of his clothes, but he still just walks around in a nasty hospital gown and his underwear.

My grandma died of Alzheimer's and forgot who my mom was, called the cops and thought my sister was my mom (they look almost identical). This kind of prank is psychotic.

Did the person holding that small pug just say "your parents are probably going to get divorced" while shaking that dog around like a puppet? Sounds about right for a kids video on KZfaq

The liking and disliked as they tell you to is EXACTLY my sense of humour 😂

You know as a disabled person it’s really frustrating when these people go to a medical supply store and can just buy a nice wheelchair or mobility scooter when insurance like mine will refuse to do so so I have to buy a crappy cheap one from Walmart or Walgreens.
