Cringe: Watch Gullible Fans Swarm a Prankster In a Knockoff Marshmello Helmet
“Oh my God, Marshmello!” That’s what passersby in a Las Vegas hotel heard as groups of gullible fans chased after TikToker Mordy, who decided to don a knockoff Mello helmet as a social experiment on New Year’s Eve. Surprise: the humans failed. Despite the visibly fake helmet—most likely purchased at his local Spirit Halloween store—they were easily deceived and hounded Mordy, who shared a video of his experience on TikTok. As Mordy saunters through the hotel, crowds of people quickly take notice before following him through the halls, stalking him like prey for selfies. As the TikToker quickens his pace, dozens of “fans” are seen literally running after him, abandoning their sense of boundaries as they throw their phones in his face. Scroll to Conti...
Anonymous user sends ETH from Tornado Cash to prominent figures following sanctions
On Tuesday, one day after the U.S. Treasury sanctioned cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash for its alleged role in cryptocurrency money laundering operations, intervals of 0.1 Ether (ETH) transactions began materializing from the smart contract to prominent figures such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and American television host Jimmy Fallon. It is not possible to trace the source of the transactions per Tornado Cash design, and as a result, either one individual or multiple individuals or entities could be involved in the operation. Notable individuals/companies who just received funds from a government-sanctioned entity: – Jimmy Fallon– Shaquille O’Neal– PUMA– Randi Zuckerberg– Logan Paul– Brian Armstrong– Steve Aoki– Uk...
J.K. Rowling Pranked by Russian Trolls Pretending to Be Ukrainian President Zelensky
J.K. Rowling recently hopped on to a Zoom call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, only to find out it was… not President Zelensky. Instead, Rowling was pranked by Russian-based comedy duo Vovan and Lexus, who pretended to be the president in an interview. Rowling agreed to chat about her Lumos charity, which has been working in the Zhytomyr region of Ukraine to help women and children made vulnerable by the ongoing Russian invasion. Instead, Vovan and Lexus — who have previously pranked such prominent figures as Vice President Kamala Harris and Prince Harry — asked the Harry Potter author if Dumbledore was really gay and who he slept with, adding that it was “hopefully not with a transgender,” a reference to Rowling’s rampant transphobia. Elsewhere in the interview, the...
Tool’s Maynard James Keenan Pranks Drummer Danny Carey with Dildo Mid-Show: Watch
Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan played an epic prank on drummer Danny Carey mid-show, replacing one of his drum mallets with a dildo. Keenan is known to get into some shenanigans when Carey takes the spotlight for his drum solo, like playing Jenga next to the drum kit earlier on the tour. The singer’s latest stunt involved a large dildo. Tool shared the video, which was filmed at one of their recent concerts. Keenan covertly army crawls under the curtain behind Carey, who’s shredding away at his kit during the solo. When he reaches down for his gong mallet, he instead grabs the phallus, and hits the gong with the sex toy instead. Advertisement Related Video Maynard is of course giddy with satisfaction, having pulled off the prank. The clip ends with him maniacally waving the dildo at th...
Thousands Attend Hoax April Fool’s Rave in Brussels—With Daft Punk on Fake Lineup
In yet another 2021 “shake-your-head” moment, thousands of ravers illegally gathered in Brussels after a fake announcement of a music festival was published on social media. Said to be taking place on April 1st, the hoax April Fool’s Day festival went terribly awry after police raided the “event,” deploying teargas and water cannons to break up the crowd. Several attendees and officers were injured and four were arrested, according to Reuters. Organizers of the hoax festival, dubbed “La BOUM,” reportedly promised guests that the event would flout COVID-19 safety measures. They also boldly listed Calvin Harris, David Guetta, and a reunion of legendary French duo Daft Punk as performers of the fest, which a Facebook Event page listed as taking place ...
The Jerky Boys Share Prank Call from First New Album in Over 20 Years: Stream
Way back in March of last year, Johnny Brennan confirmed he was working on the first new album from The Jerky Boys in two decades. Now, he’s confirmed its imminent release and shared the first prank call from the comedy collection. The self-titled LP is set for release on November 27th, Black Friday, via Comedy Dynamics. Available exclusively on streaming services, the album will see the return of many of Brennan’s classic characters, including Frank Rizzo, Jack Tors, Mike Derucki, and Sol Rosenberg. In the first clip from the effort (via Rolling Stone), good ol’ Sol dials up the iRobot customer service line with a uniquely deadly issue. “I duct-taped a very sharp knife to the iRobot and he’s outside the bathroom door now,” complains Sol (the basis for the Family Guy character Mort Goldman...
Sacha Baron Cohen Infiltrates Far-Right Rally Pretending to Be Racist Country Singer
Sacha Baron Cohen is up to his old tricks. On Saturday, the Borat and Bruno actor crashed a far-right rally in Olympia, Washington, pretending to be a racist country singer who led a sing-along about injecting former president Barack Obama and Dr. Anthony Fauci with the “Wuhan Flu”. The event was organized by a far-right militia group called the Washington Three Percenters. It seems Cohen had reached out to event organizers about serving as the musical entertainment, going as far to offer to cover the costs of the stage and sound system. The Three Percenters took him up on his offer, setting the stage for one truly epic prank. Disguising himself in overalls and a fake beard, Cohen proceeded to sing a twangy country number about injecting liberals and scientists with the coronavirus. At var...
