I wouldn't call the gentle deception of something like temporarily taking a plastic apple from a close co-worker's cubicle shelf and replacing it each day with a larger and larger apple "bullying". The premise of this movie is absolutely trashy, but I think good-natured practical joking is at least possible.
While a lot of practical jokes are, it's for sure possible to do practical jokes that I'd file under harmless fun. The tv program Just for laughs is --somewhat surprisingly-- really good at this. Excuse the awful laugh track and jaunty music, but a good example is how they turned an air horn prank into something fairly harmless: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb2VZ6lp8f0
what in the world is this doing on the front page of hacker news.. This movie was hilarious. The The Big 3 Podcast podcast is hilarious. Particularly if you're a fan of say, Ron and Fez, and that line of comedy.
I’ve never seen this film but I gotta say this seems like a pretty cruel prank. Considering Jimmy Kimmel, the one behind the “lie to my kids about eating all their Halloween candy and make them cry” prank, is a producer on this, I’m not surprised.
Fun fact, it's not the windy city, named after wind, it's the windy city, named after winding up screw jacks to raise a significant amount of the city by several feet. Yep: you've been saying it wrong your whole life.
It's not about natural wind; that part is true. But "windy city" refers to all the hot air expelled by the promoters of Chicago as host of the 1893 World's Fair.
Interesting, I think this is here because the guy in it was in a video by a prankster who slaps magnets on people's cars when they don't return shopping carts (and causes aggressive confrontations) which made the front page of Reddit's 'public freakout' sub.
