‘The Joke doesn’t go quite as planned’

Poke Staff. Updated December 14th, 2022

All we have to say about this is that u/TedtheBearman519 is lucky Granny has a strong heart – and a good sense of humour.

He explained –

We had gotten my Grandmother the crate as a gift for Mother’s Day. We decided it would be funny for someone to get into the box and startle her and I volunteered. As she walked up to the box and I lay waiting for the surprise, I think, “I hope she doesn’t fall in the pool”.

As well as the almost compulsory comments implying that u/TedtheBearman519‘s gran is secretly a professional stunt actor, the reactions were the perfect mix of relief that she didn’t hit anything vital – and pure enjoyment of the slapstick.

Seems to have gone swimmingly if you ask me.

His pranks had always garnered laughs, but this is the first time it made someone wet themselves.

For thr full cinematic experience, someone had filmed the action from another angle.
