YouTuber Charles Ross was arrested 6 times and didn’t even bat an eye. They don’t care that they get arrested and will keep doing dangerous and hurtful pranks because it gets views. Some pranks can result in legal repercussions for both the pranksters and the victims.īacari-Bronze O’Garro’s arrest is just one of many online “prank” creators who’ve been arrested for stunts. I think it’s worth noting that when I tried to look for kid-safe pranks on YouTube to link to as an example, I just saw a bunch of problematic videos. There are kid-safe prank channels and channels that don’t harm anyone, but there are also a lot that do harm and are not good for kids. Kids are more likely to watch pranks videos over and over and will keep clicking on similar content. Kids tend to be the biggest audience for prank videos since they find them funny and entertaining. It’s the easiest way to get engagement and the more outrageous you are, the more views and attention you get.
That’s why so many young people dying for attention on the internet make them. Prank videos can get hundreds of millions of views per video. What too many channels end up becoming, however, are harassment videos that can get so extreme that they traumatize and hospitalize the people being pranked. Prank channels are supposed to contain videos where practical jokes, pranks, or tricks are played on people to make them laugh, surprise them, or scare them. In the quest for clout, these sadists will stop at nothing to get people talking about them. This is the next level of prank videos which aren’t pranks at all but full-on harassment and crimes that intimidate, harm, and traumatize unsuspecting people. He goes on to say “…it’s the fact that people are talking that’s important”. Just like many young clout-chasers, O’Garro doesn’t care that he’s upsetting and hurting so many people.
I know exactly what I’m doing and the consequences of my actions.” I always know outrage is going to happen. In an interview with The Independent, O’Garro said “Controversy, even though it’s not good, is the best way to blow up on social media. It’s clear that O’Garro is doing anything he can to get attention and clout and will keep escalating his sociopathic behavior until the law intervenes. TikTok and YouTube have banned O’Garro from their platforms, but he’s still active on Snapchat, Twitter, and Twitch. In another, he’s going up to random women and asking her if she wants to die. In one video, O’Garro steals a woman’s little dog at the park. O’Garro has posted several home invasion videos where most of the unsuspecting people in the homes are families with young children. One of the victims of the home invasion tells them, “We’ve got kids.” And you can hear the father’s confused child in the background. O’Garro had been posting videos on his social media of him and his friends barging into people’s homes without their permission or consent. 18-year-old British internet “prankster” Mizzy, whose real name is Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, was recently arrested by UK police for breaching a criminal behavior order.
