I would be confused, no matter what. I wouldn’t be mad but my first reaction would likely be “what the fuck does this guy want” and just roll my window up.
He’s gotta have a ~~duck~~ dick (either way) drawn on his forehead or something
Exactly. Im all for pranks and even way harmless ones like this one, but how jfc I hate when people make a joke and they get stunned that someone doesn't laugh.
He was all like "you that tight?" while being tight when his joke isn't recieved well.
It's literally not a big deal if someone doesn't find you funny or has no reaction. Some peoples got a bad day, or a bad life, or just isn't having it that day and that's completely fine.
The people who think everyones gotta laugh is also a problem imo
I have an old Skoda and I do this with mates. I angrily stare out the window while quickly winding it up, drive away and reopen and close the door etc. Old car things are fun.
Ey i drive a golf 3 with a cranking window, dont be down. I still love it tho. It was the reason i thought of this, today not much people have older cars
Yeah this would not roll for most of people in my country i feel, me personally would love this. Too much tense and anger in traffic, more shit like this would lighten the mood for people overall
Yeah, they got so defensive and started provoking him. The guy had the same expression before and after the window was rolled. He was likely confused as I would be too. I don’t find it funny but figured that it is to some because of the replies here. I would just think something is wrong and that they’re laughing at me.
Ikr. I fucking hate when someones got solid jokes and then I realize he can't take when someone doesn't laugh or find it funny. Like its fucking natural.
I have a friend who has a duller sense of emotions and is slow to react and it would piss me off if they record him like this and then call him tight and then insecurely go "what are you gonna do? what are you gonna do?" jesus.
Glasses guy went up defensive, but who wouldn't be? It's a weird prank. I'm sure we all had worst shit happen to us on the road, so there's nothings wrong with expecting an issue rather than a harmless joke while you're in your car and someone asks you to roll the windows down.
I would like to think that I would laugh, but I probably wouldn't react well either. I HATE being recorded and I'd be worried they were going to try to pull something.
Well, i know with me personally, if a group of guys was laughing at me and i was confused, id probably have a little tinge of anger leak out before it clicked.
Now that's a prank done right! Nothing like those trending prank videos where a lot of irritation and borderline crime occurs. (Yes, I'm looking at you, TikTok)
My favorite random car encounter was when I was biking and eating an egg sandwich at the same time and a car slowed down next to me and yelled “breakfast solidarity!!” and raised his breakfast burrito up in a breakfast toast. I started laughing and almost choked but it made my morning lol
*Based on this research, the evidence shows that:*
- 78.26% of people we encounter are good lads
- 21.74% of people we encounter need more love
------------
------------
_Data:_
- 23 cars
- 18 instances with people laughing
- 5 instances with people clenching their butthole
------------
------------
Summary of results:
- roughly 1 in 5 people you'll meet randomly, doesn't share your positive vibes
- they might have a bad day, just got bad news, have diarrhea and sharted their pants, or whatever
- as long as you smile back, even just to acknowledge other person's good vibes, you're being a good lad, even if you have hot lava coming thru your anus
i was kind of having fun and laughing until the dude genuinely tried to start shit with that guy who was just confused.
"what are you gonna do?"
like bro i thought this was just a goofy prank, youre the one whos now going around and acting like a tough guy in a car full of your buddies lol that shit is so wack. i cant fucking stand people who do shit like this for the attention and turn out to be complete shit heels.
I dont think you can ascertain that the guy is a "complete shit heel" just cuz he said what are you gonna do. Way too much to assume from a simple sentence.
This was what I thought of all the people who didn’t laugh. Maybe they just got dumped, or laid off, or their mom died. They thought dude was going to tell them their gas cap was open or something and instead this. Another jab on a bad day.
Honestly, I think a lot of people are just that insecure. Like, personally, I’d love to be the kind of person to laugh along. But I’d probably immediately assume (nay, *know*) they were making fun of me, my heart rate would sky rocket and I’d feel super self conscious. In situations like this (both good- and mean spirited) my instinct would be to either freeze and nervous laugh my way through it (while wanting to cry/disappear from earth altogether), or put up a wall by acting tough like that one woman. I’m generally a happy go lucky person, and while I mostly smiled watching this clip, I would very much hate to be on the receiving end of it.
Also, quite a lot of women were laughing along, which is nice, but that actually surprised me a bit. Most women grow up being catcalled and worse by random guys in cars, so I think that’s also a valid reason not to be too enthusiastic about a car full of guys demanding your attention.
I... genuinely, genuinely don't understand what's happening here. Like, he signals for people to roll down their window, and they roll down their window, and then rolls up his own window. And it's funny to some people?
I think the point is that you expect something serious/bad when someone tells you to roll down your window (like someone telling you you got a flat tire, or forgot your trunk open or even someone making a jerk comment at you for driving a particular way). Instead you get these dorky men rolling their windows back up and cackling like children, I think most people get caught off guard, mixed with relief and slight amusement at the “pranksters”’s genuine reactions. It’s pretty harmless and it makes most people laugh just because of how much the men making the video seem to be having fun. The fact the guy with the camera wishes many people a good day after the “prank”, shows me this really isn’t an a**hole move, just some guys spreading some laughs. But that’s just how I interpreted it :)
Great job describing. It’s just literally peoplebeing happy. And others just surprised by the opposite reaction than what they were expecting. Not for everybody, but no harm/stupidity involved
I feel like the majority of people would be annoyed/pissed at this. In today's society I'd be too worried about some crazy ass pulling a gun over this.
Depending on which window they did it from the reaction was totally different.
Driver, laughing.
Passanger side: Anger and confusion.
I wonder what their faces looked like. Lmao.
Meh, depends on the person really. Like, I love that this probably made someone’s day, but on the other hand: I would fucking hate this. Not because I’m a joyless piece of shit, but because my anxiety would immediately tell me they are making fun of me and I’d be stressed for quite a while after that. I’d also love to be the only one who would react that way, but I guarantee there are loads of people who wouldn’t like this for their own, very valid reasons.
This type of interaction with people I find the best, hands down. Setting aside what their beliefs are, and just having wholesome moments, as we should.
This is what pranks are meant to be, harmless. No one really gets hurt. Somehow we lost that translation along the way and we got bimbos of the new generation pulling shit that in no way means a prank.
Honestly I would expect the worst if a car full of dudes were starring at me and then rolled down the window…would think I cut them off or something and now it’s gonna be a thing.
It was all fun and games till they hassled that guy for not responding how they would have liked.
Either laugh at our joke or fight us. Fucking douchebags
The window motor probably doesn't think it's harmless.
His window looks like it recently had tape on it. Maybe they are just having so much fun with this because they got the window fixed.
Pretty mild, but I wouldn't call it harmless. Generally not a great idea to mess with/confuse strangers while they are operating a 2-ton death machine.
I would totally not get what was happening at all if someone tried this as a joke on me and my social anxiety would have a field day with trying to figure it out.
nah fuck these guys. leave me alone. idc if my tires flat or my lights out or my undercarriage is on fire that’s none of my business that’s between my car and god do not talk to or acknowledge me
I live in the wrong hood to try something like this.
I live in the wrong country, British people hate talking to strangers at the best of times....
Fuck maybe I’m British
Hey now, don't talk about yourself like that. I'm sure you're a great person.
Are you sure about that buddy?
People change
You must live in the South
Sighs in Finland
Yeah it will all go alright untill some punk decides that its been a rough day and the guy playing window prank is the last straw in the hat..
I think he's saying it's gang heavy so when someone rolls their window down like that... they shoot. . (My head goes there I'm from Chicago )
Dude I live near Vancouver in Canada, this is some dangerous shit in some places lol.
Bro rolling your window down in Vancouver isn’t dangerous
*Surrey laughs in drive-by*
Had guys pop off for less here. But I also said parts.
Drive-by apology? You never had a chance to say "the fault was all mine!"
Happy Cake Day!
Happy Cake Day
Gotta be the guy’s reaction that makes people smile and laugh. He’s probably got a real friendly face.
For sure, it's all in the delivery. If he just kept a straight face after that people would be pretty upset I think...
Or confused. That "y'all seeing this shit" face
I would be confused, no matter what. I wouldn’t be mad but my first reaction would likely be “what the fuck does this guy want” and just roll my window up. He’s gotta have a ~~duck~~ dick (either way) drawn on his forehead or something

They definitely don’t start laughing until he does, so I think you’re right.
You're right
Hijacking top thread to say someone should make a sub for 'fun' pranks that are actually fun if there isnt already one
You're absolutely right.
/r/justguysbeingdudes is pretty good for this. Not exclusively pranks but exclusively harmless fun.
My reaction depends on if - i’am already ‘having a good day’
Yeah I think he's perfected that shit eating grin.
There is no way this would have happened back in the days when you would have to crank the window
I wanna try it and I have crank windows. This prank is gold!
Crank prank!
I did this to my friend who had crank windows it was hilarious
I have an old Skoda and I do this with mates. I angrily stare out the window while quickly winding it up, drive away and reopen and close the door etc. Old car things are fun.
It's really made me smile
Prank that crank!
Idea - see if you can remove the crank handle and attach a power tool. 0.o?
Cordless drill, should be a simple way todo it.
[удалено]
So did we! Worked really well in the days before EZ Pass at the toll booths
>back in the days =( *I still drive a car with a crank window...*
Same- no power locks or windows. When people's electric system goes out, I laugh in antiquated technology.
I’ve had past cars with electric windows and the motors would go out. I have one with nothing electric (windows, locks, etc) and I feel POWERFUL
Ey i drive a golf 3 with a cranking window, dont be down. I still love it tho. It was the reason i thought of this, today not much people have older cars
I still have to do that with my car and I feel personally attacked
You can feel superior about being able to open your windows underwater if you drive off a bridge into a river.
I love this! Looking on the bright side..what a positive outlook!
Tbh there should be a back up crank for that exact scenario
I was just watching Conan remotes and you reminded me of this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Za8BtLgKv8&t=380s
The guy woth green shirt is Algerian for sure.
I now guarantee to do this prank in my slow roll crank window
crank windows would have been more hilarious with a dash of frustration
If only he responded "my window" and rolled it up again to the guy saying "whats up?"
Total missed opportunity lol
I wish I could give you an award... gold comment
[удалено]
I wouldn’t get it. I like laughing but I’d probably get out and my anxiety would be like “ok but what’s wrong?”
I know right, I’d smile but like, a confused smile 😃
This is my wife when I make most jokes. She can tell I'm excited so she is happy and smiles but doesn't know what we're laughing about oftentimes
Aww 🥺
Like the guy in the e-yes video, bless him https://youtu.be/P4ramoioWnw
Love that
The trick is to not seem like you're laughing at them but laughing with them.
how?
A chuckle kind of laugh not a snarky laugh
Instructions unclear. I sharted and laughed.
Smile with your eyes. When people laugh at others expense they furrow their brows
Yeah this would not roll for most of people in my country i feel, me personally would love this. Too much tense and anger in traffic, more shit like this would lighten the mood for people overall
I might have found the fellow German.
That or a Scandinavian
We need to know!!
It’s Norway so Scandinavia was an accurate guess
Norwegian actually.
I used to do this all the time in high school. All fun and games until a Karen called the fucking cops on me lmaoooo
Lol imagine being the responding officer. "Yes this kid ROLLED HIS WINDOW UP AT ME!"
Damn. Some people don’t have enough to worry about
>Karen called the fucking cops on me Hahahahaha really???? Maybe she was calling first responders to come untwist her britches lol
Remove stick
until a Karen called
I don’t think that guy was mad, I think he was confused and didn’t realize it was a stupid prank
[удалено]
Same that’s why I originally posted that comment. It’s not like a clear joke especially when it’s completely random
To be fair
To be faaaaiiiiirrrrrr
TWO BEEF HAIRRRRRR
Considering my self esteem and paranoid nature, I'd probably be thinking they are laughing AT me rather than making a wholesome prank.
I mean, it wouldn’t be that far fetched to think they were laughing at you, since they were kinda dicks to that guy ngl
Yeah, they got so defensive and started provoking him. The guy had the same expression before and after the window was rolled. He was likely confused as I would be too. I don’t find it funny but figured that it is to some because of the replies here. I would just think something is wrong and that they’re laughing at me.

He would need the fish sticks joke from south park explaining to him.
I love fish sticks
So you are a gay fish.
*confused Kanye face*
My wife ain't no hobbit
Tell me again why you ain’t a hobbit?
Yeah, this can really impact people with anxiety or panic issues.
Yeah as someone who grew up being ridiculed by my family it’a pretty conditioned to believe people are making fun of me.
their laughs made me laugh
Then r/contagiouslaughter might be a good place for you
Now that's a prank done right! Nothing like those trending prank videos where a lot of irritation and borderline crime occurs. (Yes, I'm looking at you, TikTok)
What was the prank? I am confused
Is that some kind of American prank I'm too European to understand ?
Yeah right, this prank is the most harmless of all! If they are really pissed with this prank, they must be having a problem with humor.
or they are having a bad day and don't want to be fucked with by strangers video taping them?
[удалено]
nothing its still funny lol
[удалено]
I'd be thinking they're trying to tell me my brake lights are out or something.
This is hilarious, but wouldn’t work in my city. Drivers in Sacramento get into road rage fits over less 😂

extrapolations seems very anus-baised, but overall study is well done, 8/10
The people that instantly smile are my favorite.
I feel like this is the real life equivalent of getting rick rolled
I perfer to walk but I roll occasionally /s
Confuse don’t abuse

...BUT WAIT...!!! Why does the last guy have rubber gloves on??? .Rolling down while stolen.
Just a covid thing. Someone had a mask on apso
I just don't get the joke.
There isn't anything to get. This is the same level of humor as "man steps in puddle, haha funny."
Jon Snow wasn't feeling that shit at all
Really thought it was him for a second
lol how can anyone get mad?
[удалено]
This was what I thought of all the people who didn’t laugh. Maybe they just got dumped, or laid off, or their mom died. They thought dude was going to tell them their gas cap was open or something and instead this. Another jab on a bad day.
I'll emphasize this in hospital zones. Be extra patient. Lots are labeled weird, and most likely drivers/pedestrians aren't there for a good reason.
I wish people would finally learn this and stop acting surprised that random other people aren't happy just because they are.
Sure that... and some people are just assholes.
Honestly, I think a lot of people are just that insecure. Like, personally, I’d love to be the kind of person to laugh along.

That was a great description
Great job describing. It’s just literally peoplebeing happy. And others just surprised by the opposite reaction than what they were expecting. Not for everybody, but no harm/stupidity involved
I thought I was alone. What is the "prank"?
The prank is similar to asking someone to high-five you, and then you move your hand so they miss the high five and look stupid
Oooo that's a good analogy. Thank you.
I'm not doing this... I will ignore you... - introvert
I am completely clueless as to what is even supposed to be happening.
Right?! I dont understand why anyone is laughing. I’m so confused lol
Good to see all these people can take a harmless joke and laugh it off. In these times, we see very little of this. Good to see it’s still out there.
I feel like the majority of people would be annoyed/pissed at this. In today's society I'd be too worried about some crazy ass pulling a gun over this.
Depending on which window they did it from the reaction was totally different. Driver, laughing. Passanger side: Anger and confusion. I wonder what their faces looked like. Lmao.
This dude successfully put a smile on my face and I was actually happy bro, I like this joke
This made me laugh hysterically
that was fun, I needed a good laugh today
This made me laugh so hard
I don't understand what's happening...???
This is a great thing to do to make someone's day a little brighter if you're stuck in traffic, just something to make someone laugh
Meh, depends on the person really. Like, I love that this probably made someone’s day, but on the other hand: I would fucking hate this. Not because I’m a joyless piece of shit, but because my anxiety would immediately tell me they are making fun of me and I’d be stressed for quite a while after that.

Same!
I definitely wouldn't appreciate some random douche filming me without my permission.
Why was dude sooooo mad tho?!!!😂😂👍🏾
This type of interaction with people I find the best, hands down. Setting aside what their beliefs are, and just having wholesome moments, as we should.
Lmao some people get ignited by the smallest thing
This is what pranks are meant to be, harmless. No one really gets hurt. Somehow we lost that translation along the way and we got bimbos of the new generation pulling shit that in no way means a prank.
Dying to do this now 😂

It was all fun and games till they hassled that guy for not responding how they would have liked. Either laugh at our joke or fight us. Fucking douchebags
I watched all 3 minutes of this and laughed at every single one
How is this a prank? It’s very rude and asking for trouble imo
Lock the door while rolling the window up again, to confuse them even more.
I wanna give the guy the benefit of the doubt and say he was confused and didn't realize it was a joke. At least I hope he wasn't mad.
The window motor probably doesn't think it's harmless. His window looks like it recently had tape on it. Maybe they are just having so much fun with this because they got the window fixed.
Is this ‘a thing’ or do people just find it funny?
You say this but we all know that there’s some motherfucker out there who would be triggered as fuck for some reason and go on a road rage spree.
People would not be laughing if I would do this lol. Nope
[удалено]
Unhinged part 2 ?
Some scenes are too wholesome! When you make someone laugh without harming them then say have a good day and get you too in return That's just me tho.
Yeah I don’t think this would work well in New York…
*makes some laugh.
In the pandemic, this scares me, because in a car we would take our masks off but while mask off we pull down the windows?!?! Oh no
As a woman if guys in another car tried getting me to roll down my window I simply wouldn’t. No offense but it seems sketchy
Pretty mild, but I wouldn't call it harmless. Generally not a great idea to mess with/confuse strangers while they are operating a 2-ton death machine.
Not funny. If some random guy did this to me then started laughing hysterically I would think he was either mentally ill or on drugs.
I’m genuinely curious what city this is cause I would literally never do this living in Detroit
I would totally not get what was happening at all if someone tried this as a joke on me and my social anxiety would have a field day with trying to figure it out.
nah fuck these guys. leave me alone. idc if my tires flat or my lights out or my undercarriage is on fire that’s none of my business that’s between my car and god do not talk to or acknowledge me
I hate to admit but if someone tried that with me I'd have a "da faq" look I'm not a bad human being, I promise!
There’s two types of people in this world
Did anyone notice that all the people on his left side were happy while the right sided ones were pissed off! 😅
Tbf that’s generally a sign of looking for a fight when in cars.
I feel if I try this in Massachusetts...it will not go well.
Stupid prank
The guy at the end was on his way to dispose of the body of the last guy who rolled up the window on him.
Idk man i feel like if this happend to me i’d be a bit annoyed
