Ranging from a prank that took a turn for the worst
after someone mailed themselves in a cardboard box
To another that left a man in a coma for over a month.
Welcome to the list of 5 pranks that went just a little bit too far.
In March 2005, KBDS radio station
Held a competition to win a brand new Hummer
All you had to do was guess the mileage.
The radio station was also known as Play 103.9
So a lady called Shannon Castillo used 103.9 as her guess for the mileage.
She got it right!
She hired a Babysitter and went to pick up her brand new Hummer
The station congratulated her and presented her with a....
Toy Hummer!
Obviously Shannon was not impressed
And she is now suing them for $60000
A man decided to pull an innocent prank on his wife
He called a local radio station and got them to prank call her
This is the call that followed
Hello Lois, this is Mike
I'm the personnel director here at your husbands work
"Oh hi, how are you?"
I'm fire how are you?
"Fine"
Lois are you sitting down?
"Yes"
Well i have some bad news
"What do you mean bad news?"
"Bob's ok isn't he?
Well that's why i called to talk to you, it's about Bob
And ermmm
I know that he has been an employee here for a very long time
But i am afraid we are going to have to let Bob go.
"What do you mean? Why are you firing him?"
We caught him doing his secretary on his office desk.
"Oh that son of a B**ch!"
"I'm throwing his stuff outside on the front lawn"
"He can just have it all"
"I'm not even going to be here when he gets back"
"And now"
"Now..."
"I don't feel so bad about sc******g his Brother"
LOIS!
Lois, Lois....
It's a joke!
Oops, that went well.
A guy called Hu Seng decided to prank his girlfriend in a rather bizarre way
He climbed inside a cardboard box
He got someone to tape it up and post it to his girlfriend
That plan was for his girlfriend Li Want to open the box
To which he would jump out and surprise her
It would of been a pretty awesome idea
That's if everything had gone to plan
The couriers messed up the delivery
They sent Mr Seng to the wrong address
They did however realize their mistake and take him back to the correct address
So what was supposed to be a 30 min trip, turned into a 3 hour trip
The thing is Mr Seng forgot to cut any air-holes in the box
By the time he got delivered and his wife opened the box
She found him passed out and he needed to be revived by Paramedics
A Magician called Wayne Houchin was a guest on a TV show in the Dominican Republic
The presenter decided to do a bit of a prank on Wayne
This prank was not in the script and the producers knew nothing about it
He cupped his hands over Waynes head and he poured a flammable liquid on him
Then he set it alight
See i am confused why he would randomly do that
I mean if it wasn't in the script and he secretly planned it, then that's just bizarre
The fire quickly spread across Waynes face and the crew rushed to put it out
He was rushed to hospital with burns to his head, face, neck and hands
The thing is this show was live and millions of people watched on in shock
An arrest warrant was issued for the presenter and he is expected to face charges
25 year old Craig Finn invited his friend over to watch football and drink a few beers
His friend James arrived and they drank late into the night
Until Craig passed out on the bathroom floor
James, who was incredibly drunk, decided he would now play a prank on his unconscious friend
He poured Turpentine fluid onto Craig's legs
He set them alight and then he closed the bathroom door and went home
Who even does that?
Surely you would wait around to see if your friend woke and put the flames out
The flames spread over Craigs legs
He suffered 3rd degree burns across his lower body
All he remembers is waking up in a Hospital after being in a coma for just over a month
And having to have his left leg amputated
James was arrested and sentenced to 5 years and 3 months in prison
Who needs enemies when you have friends like this
And that brings the list of 5 pranks that went too far, to an end
I jolly well hope you liked it and as always....
Thanks for watching!
