Do you approve or disapprove of internet screamer pranks?

21 Comments

I was just the victim of a screamer video T_T

I seriously didn't see it coming, it was a YouTube video about cookery (yes, cookery) and for some reason the uploader of the video made it a screamer for no apparent reason. Oh, and yes, the video also insulted me as well because I "fell for it".

I hate screamers, they're enough to (almost) turn on the tears. I personally disapprove of them... tell me what you think though. Some find them funny. How I do not know, but...

And if you don't know what a screamer is: It's a video which is misleading as a joke and ends with an extremely loud scream or sound that makes you jump and a horribly graphic image of a scary face.

Yes (explain) 51
No (explain) 113
Other (explain) 12

      Anyone who gets a heart attack or seizure from a video is fucking weak.

        tell that to the epileptic kid or the man with a heart condition. you seem like the kind of person that would show one of those things to someone with a health condition...because you're that smart

          First of all, if you mean i seem like the kind of person who would do that on purpose then no, i wouldn't do that. But if i posted a video like that and someone with a health condition happened to stumble upon it, how is that my fault?

          Lets make special conditions to accommodate those with a handicap because were a world of fucking pussies that can't take responsibility for ourselves....give me a fucking break.

    It depends, sometimes I almost pee my pants but I laugh really hard after that. Other times I'll say "God, immature asses."

    Pranks are fine.

    Acting like you're clever when someone falls for something totally unexpected is not.

    Penis.

    Haha I made you read that. Can't believe you fell for it, noob.

    How much of a douche do I look like right now? There's your answer.

    How can you answer "yes" or "no" to the question "do you approve or disapprove"? Do you say "Yes, I approve or disapprove"???

    I think the people who make screamers are terminally stupid, and should be banned from the internet.

    No I don't approve. I clicked a link today while listening to music on full volume. I wasn't scared .. even if it would scare me I was too busy feeling like my ears are gonna die.
    It could really cause hearing damage >..>

    I created 2 screamers. I gave proper warnings for people with special conditions not to watch it. People still fall for it.

    Its just a prank. Scares the shit out of you but doesn't do a lot of harm.

    Listen to Skrillex's "First of the Year (Equinox)" with your volume as high as it can go. With earphones. I did that the first time I heard it. I threw my Nook across the room.

    Basically whoever creates them are wasting their own time. To be fair I'd rather be RickRolled and have two JB songs sent to me (obviously the only two i like)
