05:46

[00:02] anyone can post and go viral. But some people do crazy things for it, or things that seem normal but get completely out of control, like Roman Atwood. In 2013, his

[00:14] prank content was doing very well, and at the time he was one of the biggest creators. He had the brilliant idea of ​​playing a prank on his girlfriend, telling her that he had cheated on her during a trip. He hid a camera in the room, sat down with it, and

[00:26] spoke. She obviously started crying uncontrollably. Which, let's face it, is to be expected, right? But then, out of nowhere, in the middle of her crying, she blurts it out. I betrayed you too. He was no longer a prank. The woman had confessed that she had cheated on

[00:41] him. And then he became completely desperate until she revealed that she had seen his camera and that it was a prank she was playing on him as part of his prank. At least in this case it was a lie in the end, but in

[00:53] some cases the business becomes a problem in real life. This is Ciril Shriner, and he decided to make a video putting gel balls in the water inside a bathtub. So far so good, everything normal. He took a dip, recorded his video, and that could have been the

[01:08] end of it, right? Of course. When it came time to clean, instead of removing the little balls with a bucket or something, he simply removed the drain cover and let them go freely down the drain. But what happens to gel beads in water

[01:22] when they remain in a water-filled container for too long? They grow even bigger. The plumbing got clogged, causing the pellets to start coming back up through every possible hole in the house. It came out through the sink drain, the kitchen drain, and the

[01:37] toilet. Wait, my God in heaven. vacuum cleaner. I had so many other ideas that I could have had, but oh well. And the vacuum cleaner simply caught fire. But it gets worse, believe it or not, because the

[01:50] little balls started going down the entire street's sewer system and clogged the neighborhood's sewer network. The business got so out of control that the city's mayor sent him a letter threatening legal action and calling the police if he

[02:03] didn't fix the mess he'd made. At least it went viral because the video got a lot of views. Because imagine if a business like that flopped. You do a deal like that, you get arrested, and you get two [prisoners] on the bill. And what better way to go viral on the

[02:15] internet than by pretending to rob a bank? And never. Every Saturday, I'm there Stoke twins one day went near a bank wearing ski masks and all-black clothes, and then ordered an Uber carrying bags of money to see the

[02:30] driver's reaction when he picked up a fare that looked like it was two robbers fleeing Obviously, the driver thought he was going to die and refused the ride. But a witness saw the scene and called the police, a normal person, right?

[02:43] And the police arrived pointing their guns at the driver, thinking he was a getaway driver. And then they almost got the innocent guy into trouble and ended up with 160 hours of community service. Dude, how does anyone come up with an idea like that? Guys, we need to go

[02:57] ideas? What if we pretended to be criminals to scare a guy who's just trying to do his job? How about that? Brilliant. Speaking of brilliant ideas, this is Jay Swindler. He wanted to make a different kind of video, so he decided to simply put his

[03:12] head inside a microwave and fill the whole thing with cement. He was breathing through a small plastic tube until he realized he imagined he would be. I don't know how he imagined it would be comfortable, but it

[03:25] leave, he realized that he couldn't had to call the fire department, who took an hour and a half to get the crazy guy out of there by dismantling the microwave. Okay. Imagine this firefighter

[03:39] arriving home on a Tuesday night. Honey, how was your day? Ah, I pulled a guy's head out of a microwave full of cement. That was good too. The guy literally almost died making a video. But other people

[03:51] went viral because people actually died. Or almost. One day, Oj station posted a video saying that his girlfriend had passed away. He made several videos crying, saying that she had been in a fatal car accident. The

[04:04] internet reacted a lot, and besides getting a lot of support from fans, his videos went extremely viral because people were curious about the situation. But then he started posting too many videos, and people began to find the

[04:16] types of videos he was making strange, like talking to my dead girlfriend in Tabij at 3 in the morning. Things went wrong, the business grew bigger and even the police started investigating. And then he had to go public and say that his girlfriend

[04:28] was actually alive and that he had made it all up just to get some views and subscribers. His channel ended up being banned and his girlfriend broke up with him. One day in 2019, David Dob was recording a

[04:41] vlog with his friend, Jason Nash. And this Jason guy said: "It's crazy to think you'll never have an ex-wife because nobody will ever want to marry you? What would a normal person do? Curse him

[04:53] back? Call him a cuckold, I don't know. But David, not David, he simply took a flight to Boston, knocked on Jason's mother's door and proposed . And the worst part is, she accepted. Then they traveled to Hawaii

[05:08] and got married for real, with suits, white dresses, and a legal marriage certificate. The guy traveled thousands of miles, organized a wedding to become his friend's stepfather just because he had said nobody would want to marry him. David

[05:21] spent a whole month being Jason's stepfather until he finally filed for divorce and posted a video about it too. Man, as bizarre as it is, I respect it, because it wasn't just to go viral, it was something much bigger to

[05:33] prove a point. Bizarre, but it was to prove a point. This is Brook everyone loved her videos. And one day she recorded a super cute video playing a prank on

[05:46] him that she was sure would go viral. And it did go viral, but for the wrong reason. Unintentionally, Burk made a mistake when posting and uploaded the unedited video to YouTube. In that video, you could clearly see her hitting,

[05:59] spitting on, and cursing the dog just because he wouldn't stay still while she was filming. Is it because he's a dog and not a doll? She was Los Angeles police opened an animal abuse investigation that ultimately led to

[06:12] her channel being deleted. Logan Ball, who you might know, went to Italy one day you could do on YouTube to go viral was to poop. He discovered that it was a crime to fly drones over the Colosseum. And since he knew it would get views, that's

[06:27] Italian police didn't find it funny at all. And they also didn't excuse of "oh, I'm a YouTuber." The famous YouTuber was recording a video and stuff. The police seized his equipment and he was arrested. And travel,

[06:41] apparently, is the perfect time to record an absurd video, because the YouTuber Max F had an idea that I don't know where he got it from, because he bought a giant billboard and put it right next to Gatwick Airport in London. And the

[06:55] billboard said: "Welcome to Luton, which is another airport in London, super far from Gatwick and known for being chaotic." The people arriving by plane because they thought they were landing in the wrong place until they

[07:10] in a YouTube video. At least he was creative. I'll give him that point for creativity. It's only not more creative than the test answers in because it managed to make even taking a test fun. Until the next video. It's us.
