Do you think this prank went too far?


A pair of snarky parents on instagram thought they were being funny when they pranked their 2 boys thinking they snapped up the hard to find Playstation 5 for the holidays and took a video of their reaction only to be severely disappointed as the parents and sister LAUGH in their misery as they said they couldn't hold in their tears to see how they tricked the boys.

The boys were heard yelling "OH MY GOD. YES YES, I CAN SMELL IT. IT SMELT LIKE GLORY" as they hug their family.

But internet users were not impressed stating they went too far and called it "disgusting" as people are getting HURT over trying to find the console and paying THOUSANDS from scalpers just to get their hands on the holiday's hottest console..

It's not clear if these parents intend to get their sons a PS5 after all this embarrassment

That's a really lame thing to do. I hope those kids drive the old parents past the nice home and then dump them at the crooked one from 60 Minutes and just say "remember that PS5 we didn't get? We're even." *tires squeal*

It's fine. It's just a prank. And it said they opened a Christmas Present Early. It's possible they got them one ad they'll get it for Christmas still... People can't take a joke these days. This use to happen to me all the time. I'd get a present and there was clothes inside. But I'd still get the present. And my parents use to hide video games in my new clothes, as well. I'd get a shirt, and when I pulled it out of the box, I video game fell out of it.

That's such a common prank, even the kids were slightly onto it...but still ended up falling for it.

I kinda wonder in all those pranks where do people get the boxes from?

Sometimes, people will sell their box to other people. For pranks like this. Sometimes, people will make them, or buy them from people who make them. Sometimes, they buy the actual product, and just take it out...

They went to far the moment they paraded their lives around social media just for attention. I feel sorry for the kids whos parents clearly care more about social media statutes than their own kids. It doesn't matter if this is staged or not.

This is a odd thing to say. A harmless white lie that gives kids happiness at Christmas isn't the same at all.

Hyping up children only to deliberately crash it into total disappointment is disgusting and lame. The exception being when the disappointment too is a prank, and the object of desire is quickly revealed. To do this though, and especially to laugh at their children's misery, is inhumanly cruel and can definitely twist and warp their development.

I really hope they bought the PS5 and are waiting until Christmas to give it to them. Kind of a cruel thing to do but my parents did the same shit whenever I would beg to open a present early.

Iirc the parents said they actually are gifting them a PS5, they just removed it from the box for the prank. Seems harmless in that case

After that handling of the box Idk ig they deserve a system. In the very least parents where smart to decieve the first so they didnt potentially bust the console.

Well I mean they can just play their PS4 for a couple more months, right? It's not like it looks like they're starving or poor or anything.

One time I wrapped an empty box for my brother for Christmas. Underneath the crinkle paper was a message: "You don't really think I would have gotten you a box of nothing for Christmas, do you?" After puzzling over it for a moment, he discovered the two $50 game store cards taped to the underside of the lid. Seeing the doubt and concern melt away, replaced by surprise and excitement, now that's fun.

If that is the case, I can be a little less hard on the situation, though the laughing at their disappointment is still going too far.

Personally, since it just seems like a harmless prank, I dont really see it as too far. Plus, while they looked not happy, the kid at the end looked more like this wasnt the first time it happened... Maybe... Either way, it seems like they are getting the PS5, so its just a harmless prank. And they probably will look back on this and laugh...

That is my stance. I think I would be more accepting of such prank if it was not recorded and shared with others. I like being able to keep up with friends and family via social media but do feel certain content should be kept behind closed doors.

As a parent, I don't understand why others would post something like this. It's sort of on the same level as all of the dysfunctional mom/can't control kid crap that women seem to love on social media. It just reflects poorly.

Sorry but telling a kid santa is gonna get you what you want for christmas and letting your kids believe it is the same as what the kids here got. Santa is only for rich privileged kids otherwise even if you did get a ps5 your dad is taking it with him when he goes for smokes.

What a stupid post to make. First most folk actually tell their kids to make a list to santa. Secondly they don't promise anything. Third it's not the same as making some fake video for the internet and forth you don't need to live a great life to believe in magic.

Omg what a stupid post to make considering that every freaking santa movie except for the horrors tell kids if your a good boy or girl you will get your christmas wish. Sad truth of the matter to many kids grow up with a life like bill murray's character from scrooged.

Parents could find happier things than lying to their children for their own wish fulfillment

Happened to me once and it was ninja turtles 3 for the nes. I was ecstatic!. But also one year my mom asked whatbi wanted for Christmas, I asked for a penny. So she got this big box under the christmas tree. I thought it was a xbox 360. Turns out it was jsut a box, with another box in it and another box etc all the way down to a small jewelry box that had a penny it lol

This seems pretty mean towards the kids. But judging from the older one's air pods and the fact this happened a few days before Christmas and they appear to have an actual PS5 box... I'm gonna guess they'll still win out in the end. Not how I'd choose to play a gift prank though. Seems a little mean spirited.
