You stink
You're a stinky little boy, aren't you
and everyone can smell just how-
(door bell rings)
coming!
Hey drew
Oh, Hey Landlord. I'm actually prepared this month
Heres the rent.
Oh Thanks. But that's actually uh...
That's actually not why I'm here
Oh it's not?
I uhh… heard you're going on tour.
That's right. Me, Danny, and Kurtis. Live comedy show.
And you can get tickets at WEARETWODIFFERENTPEOPLETOUR.COM
I was just wondering since um...
since I guess you're gonna be gone for a while
Could I crash here?
What?
Just while you're gone?
No
What if I said please?
Then I would say no, but more politely.
(whining) please?
No Thanks.
Well, worth a shot. See you around big guy.
Wait, hold on. If you leave now, people are gonna think
this whole sketch was just to promote the tour.
Wasn't it though?
Yeah you're right
Hey guy, Welcome back to the world's fastest YouTube channel!
Um, we recently became the first channel to hit 100 miles per hour...
...and that's on foot.
So, very cool, Thank you so much for that.
I don't know if you can tell by my voice but I'm a little bit sick right now
Um, I've been sick for (pause)
9 days
Normally I would just take a couple days off
but at this point I'm like really bored
(laugh) I've run out of things to do
I've watched everything I've wanted to watch
even things I didn't want to watch, like this new, weird, dolphin movie on Netflix
which is hilarious and terrible, and I might make a video about it but probably not
So, inevitable I ended up falling face first down a very weird (small laugh)...
...rabbit hole, on YouTube:
A very specific genre of prank
that we're gonna be talking about today.
Now, pranks are kind of a thing of the past on YouTube
or at least I thought;
they're very much out of style. You don't see a lot of thriving prank channels these days
but, there's plenty of couple channels that didn't seem to get the memo.
cause they're still trucking along
so there's a whole trend going on right now, that I- I stumbled upon:
"joining the army" prank on girlfriend
(distorted) "it's time to go to the army baby!"
I was pretty shocked, when I saw the first one. I thought it was gonna be some kind of joke
but it's not
...cause it seems really insensitive to couples who actually go through that.
and then I was even more shocked
when I saw the "Like" to "Dislike" ratio was so positive,
scrolling through the comments expecting to see a little bit more (pause) backlash
and everyone's just like (deep voice) "great prank bro!"
there's a video where he's completely pretending to be in the army;
he's not in the army, he has no intention of joining the army.
In one of the comments it's like
"Thank you very much for your service man" (laugh)
Like, what?
he's not in the army
anyway, I'm gonna show you the first video I saw
um, in this genre, by Jatie Vlogs:
"Joining the Army PRANK on Girlfriend *We Both Cried*"
that is not true (laugh)
and the first like 30 seconds of this video are a total fever dream
I don't know what the fuck is happening
(youtuber) What is up Jatie fam
welcome back to another episode of "Prank Wars"
(distorted laughter) we live baby!
if you're new to this channel (distorted) it's your freaking (incomprehensible) to josh!
what is good, usually I vlog with my girlfriend katie, but it's time to prank her
That's right- (distorted) it's going down baby
(Drew, sarcastically) hey babe guess what? uh
I just downloaded one of those Adobe preset packs for Premiere
And I'm gonna use all of them
(Jatie, distorted) I'm gonna prank her
(normal) I'm gonna tell her I got a big surprise for her, it's in the car. I'm gonna run downstairs
I'm gonna go grab the bag I'm gonna bring it up and I'm pretty much just gonna let her open it
and figure it out
I'm gonna explain (distorted) that I'm going to the army, It's time to go to the army baby
(drew) I mean (pause) it's not
cause you're not actually joining the army it's a prank
(Jatie) but real quick if you guys are watching this, I just wanna say a quick shoutout to my boy chris
who is actually in the army
(drew, overlapping) yeah for sure, I mean shoutout to Chris
mad respect for everything-
(Jatie) But real quick guys before I explain this savage prank I'm about to do to my girlfriend
if you want a chance to win something all you gotta do is smash that subscribe button
(Drew) I mean yeah I guess I'll subscribe for the giveaway
(Jatie) huge shout out to you Chris
Smash that subscribe button
(Drew) so anyway, he drives over to his girlfriend's house, he's in her room
I love that he blindfolds her, because like
even when he gives her the bag, she doesn't know what it is
(jatie) take it off
(katie) what?
