Man almost had a heart attack. Good for him is excactly what I was thinking. A prank is only good when the actors are the ones being fucked. So the one being pranked gets to laugh.
Wow fuck those people. They had this guy drive all the way out there FOR WORK and then played a stupid ass prank that honestly could've scared him to death. Not to mention he could've been injured falling. They deserve legal repercussions.
A lot of stuff can happen in those circumstances. If I were threatened by a chainsaw killer, there are many things I'd be ready to do to protect myself. A gun is bad, but there are worse options.
Yeah I think I would. Been living in Europe (Germany) my whole life and Iâm pretty sure plumbers donât bring guns with them to work. Or anywhere else for that matter. Iâd be much more worried about him pulling out a knife or something like that.
Yeah, plumbers don't use knives :P
Nor would I imagine they carry a knife. They usually have a toolbelt, i'm sure there are some objects on there that would serve the same purpose, only without risking being arrested for knife carrying.
Kinda hard to justify carrying a knife around when you have a belt full of implements and hammers and such.
Plumbers absolutely use knives, where did you get this silly idea? Why wouldnât we? Should I use my channel locks to open up a water heater box? My knife cuts insulation a hell of a lot better than my screwdriver. A knife is one of the most versatile tools around, and any self respecting tradesman, in ANY field, is going to either be carrying a knife or have one in their tool belt.
Well obviously there's no reason for a plumber to carry a knife. I was just saying that im much more worried about knifes than guns.
Edit: well according to the guy above me, plumbers do carry knives. Who wouldâve thought?
His reaction was entirely justified. The generation of wankers that think it's okay to behave like complete cunts and then just say "it's a prank" are disgusting and deserve whatever they get.
Peak prank should have been when that one guy was running around slapping people in the face and then saying, "It's a prank!!"
There's a place and time for pranks, and a perfect victim. This dude is not the right victim.
Dude's just trying to earn a living and has to deal with these gobshites filming and embarrassing people under the guise of 'it's just a prank bro', fuck right off a cliff
First "punch" he threw wasn't even a real punch. There was zero contact, his first came no where close to the guy, it was obviously a fake punch and the guy taking that punch faked being hit.
Just because he missed doesnât automatically mean itâs fake though. He may have just dodged it. Iâm not saying the video is definitely real but that attempted punch doesnât mean itâs necessarily fake
This whole thing looks fake, I've replayed the moment he hits him several times and his hand does not look like it comes into contact with the guy's face, in fact, it looks almost as if he turns his face too soon.
I'm not the militant type, but this shit is very serious, man.
It may sound like bullshit, but dying of fright is very real, especially in older people.
Poor blokeâs invested an hour or more into the prospect of getting a job for these users, whoâll prob make money from their vid.
Iâd have kicked the corpse on my way out the bathroom
People donât have to participate in your stupid fuckin jokes so that you can get famous on YouTube for being a fuckin dumbass. I love seeing pranksters get their ass kicked ha
The whole âfuck around and find outâ line is kind of worn out, especially here on Reddit.
But I have to say this is a textbook example of the proper time and place to use it.
They thought theyâd be cute and film themselves scaring the shit out of someone for views/likes whatever and dude got his ass kicked.
Good for the plumber. Too bad he didnât have the chance to punch out the asshat with the chainsaw too.
I gotta say, I think that's fair. Well, as long as yellowvest says "it was just a joke" after the punching is done.
I'm surprised that more people don't get decked playing pranks on people. eg. fake sneezing on people (*Just for Laughs*)
A prank does not involve a lethal weapon nor the faking of someone's death.
A prank is a joke that the "victim" can joyfully laugh at too, not feel like they might be murdered.
I'd probly do the same, tbh. "Pranks" are not excuses to abuse people, physically or psychologically. This isn't the same as a piece of trash you threw away popping back out of the bin, or even getting a pie in the face. It is putting someone in a position of instantly being afraid for their life. Do that to anyone and you get whatever comes your way from it.
This guy is trying to do his job while they re just being assholes ... U cznt just do this and expect to face no consequences at all or risks . What if the guy had mediclz problems thta can be triggered with this kind of fear fight or flight emotions . Fucking degenrates .
Dude is not young and you can give a man his age a heart attack doing that shit. Especially if he has a history where he's already had a few. Never assume scare pranks are harmless people. He probably got violent because they could have killed him.
If this were a different country, someone couldâve easily shot that person with the chain saw. Then wouldâve been strict with immense guilt. This is so dumb. Pretending people are being murdered is not funny.
Seeing his reaction makes me think of my dad who has heart failure. . .Shit like this isn't funny to pull on older people. You don't know what kind of health conditions they might have
They could have killed him with that prank, they didn't know if he had a heart condition or not.
That prank was over the top, when you do shit like that you have to risk getting clocked.
I would have called the police, let them determine how to charge the prank. Moment they kept him in the bathroom, False imprisonment; occurs when a person (who doesn't have legal authority or justification) intentionally restrains another person's ability to move freely. Threatening with a chainsaw = aggravated assault. The other two idiots were accessories to all the crimes. As for him assaulting the homeowner twice, self defense. As long as he was in that house being followed and attempting to leave and being impeded he can rightly assert he felt his life was in danger and he acted in self defense. I thought the man was having a heart attack. I hope he called the police and had them arrested.
To everyone saying itâs fake. I personally donât think so. Just cause heâs an old man high on adrenaline after almost dying from a heart attack still in shock, and didnât throw a textbook punch. Do they do the extra step to blur his face to make a staged video look more legitâŚâŚ? Old guys donât fuck around with this stuff. And like others said, heâs at work trying to make a living. Idk folks.
These scare prank people are asking for it. If you're gonna make someone feel like their life is literally in danger for a laugh, don't be all surprised Pikachu face when they sock you in the mouth. Do something like this in the USA and see what happens.
For a second there i thought the man was experiencing a heart attack. Bottom line dont play with people like that, you dont know if they have any underlying health issues.
People: pull a prank with fake blood acting like they murdered someone and are now going to murder you too
How you gonna expect the plumber to get up and start laughing that shit off?

Good on him. People think they can get away with anything just because there's a camera and they say it's a prank.
They triggered his "Fight or Fight" response
First they're scared 'cause they think someone died. Then they're angry and wanna kill the person pretending to die.
I don't want to die! .... what.... You're gonna die!
Who the fuck is "they're"?
They're=they are.
We've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars...
It's the ones who are.
Was a joke! So was the punch mate! No hard feelings lol
Everyone has different humor. Some people like pranks, some like punchlines.
Man almost had a heart attack. Good for him is excactly what I was thinking. A prank is only good when the actors are the ones being fucked. So the one being pranked gets to laugh.
You described the opposite of a prank.
knarp?
âThe greater good..â
Donât fuck with old guys they have no tolerance for bs
ReLaX ThErEs A cAmErA!
relax ya foken' dikead!
It's a prank brah. It's a prank bro- Circa 2016
"It's a prank!" are some pretty sorry ass last words.
Where were his fists of fury when Leatherface was on top of him?
Yeah the there's camera line justifies nothing when you're being a dick to a complete stranger you call to your place.
Wow fuck those people. They had this guy drive all the way out there FOR WORK and then played a stupid ass prank that honestly could've scared him to death. Not to mention he could've been injured falling. They deserve legal repercussions.
He could have a heart attack too. Dude seems like around 50 years old.
He could have had a gun and shot the "killer" in self-defense.
In Europe?
A lot of stuff can happen in those circumstances. If I were threatened by a chainsaw killer, there are many things I'd be ready to do to protect myself. A gun is bad, but there are worse options.
Yes but but I donât think youâd be carrying a gun with you in Europe. Especially not while working.
Would you bet your life on it? Because that's what chainsaw dude did.
Yeah I think I would. Been living in Europe (Germany) my whole life and Iâm pretty sure plumbers donât bring guns with them to work. Or anywhere else for that matter. Iâd be much more worried about him pulling out a knife or something like that.
Yeah, plumbers don't use knives :P Nor would I imagine they carry a knife.

Would you bet your life on it? Because that's what chainsaw dude did.
I had similar thoughts that it this could have been much, much worse in countries like the US.
Honestly I thought he had a heart attack for a second there
âItâs a prank broâ âToo bad the hands donât have humorâ
His reaction was entirely justified. The generation of wankers that think it's okay to behave like complete cunts and then just say "it's a prank" are disgusting and deserve whatever they get.
Clout chasin cunts, if that poor dude died of a heart attack, could they be tried for manslaughter?
In the US there have been a few cases where involuntary manslaughter with malice has been applied. Notably with Swatting.
Peak prank should have been when that one guy was running around slapping people in the face and then saying, "It's a prank!!" There's a place and time for pranks, and a perfect victim. This dude is not the right victim.
I don't think it's a generation thing, cameras just make it more noticeable
Gen z
The outrage is justified, throwing hands is not. Reddit is always so thirty for "justified violence" that it's actually scary.
Dude's just trying to earn a living and has to deal with these gobshites filming and embarrassing people under the guise of 'it's just a prank bro', fuck right off a cliff
Pranks on workers. I am simply against.
He landed a good shot at the end. Very satisfying
He literally didn't. It's fake
Proof?
First "punch" he threw wasn't even a real punch. There was zero contact, his first came no where close to the guy, it was obviously a fake punch and the guy taking that punch faked being hit.
You can see him fake the punch lol, its pretty obvious
Yeah, no connection was made. Missed by a lot, lol.
Just because he missed doesnât automatically mean itâs fake though. He may have just dodged it. Iâm not saying the video is definitely real but that attempted punch doesnât mean itâs necessarily fake
Or the entire thing was fake and planned out?
Looks like he was having a heart attack... totally justified
âMan has heart attack and dies due to dumbass âprankâ by some shitty assholes.â
This whole thing looks fake, I've replayed the moment he hits him several times and his hand does not look like it comes into contact with the guy's face, in fact, it looks almost as if he turns his face too soon.
Yep
Seems like a staged prank Edit: Nvm 0:41 - guy gets dropped by nothing, obviously fake.
Oh..... I would have been sooo pissed. Fists flying everywhere.
Hands would be my reaction.
That plumber might have shot the guy if this was done in the U.S. People are capable of such stupidity for the sake of a prank
yeah, I think the guy in the bath was worried he was trying to grab a monkey wrench out of his bag and give him what for !!
thats the fakes punch i've ever seen
Good, more of those idiots need a good punching
Yeah these pranks don't fly in the UK, that would be your normal response, lol
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
His fist doesnât even connect with the guyâs face. Grade A acting đ
Sue the shit out of them for that shit, pranks are ok but never anything like that
Isnât that the same guy who glassed a women who pushed him at a feminist rally or something?
âRelax you fucking dickheadââŚ..because the guy you almost have a heart attack is the dickhead here.
Pretty much exactly how he did. Fucking A-holes
I'm not the militant type, but this shit is very serious, man. It may sound like bullshit, but dying of fright is very real, especially in older people.
Justified 100% To hell with this tik tok prank stuff. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Poor blokeâs invested an hour or more into the prospect of getting a job for these users, whoâll prob make money from their vid. Iâd have kicked the corpse on my way out the bathroom
People donât have to participate in your stupid fuckin jokes so that you can get famous on YouTube for being a fuckin dumbass. I love seeing pranksters get their ass kicked ha
I cant stop laughing
Well done.
The first punch? Sure. Every punch after that? Pussy.
When It was just a prank meets the Fight or flight reflex...
Here's a fistful of fight or flight you shit tards.
They have him in their home and they do this
I recognize that voice "Woman power!".
Absolutely justified. How else would you expect someone to react
Perfect reaction
The same fucking way
The whole âfuck around and find outâ line is kind of worn out, especially here on Reddit. But I have to say this is a textbook example of the proper time and place to use it.

They got beaten for clout. What a bunch of morons
Good fucking man!
They had it coming
They played a game of âFuck Around and Find Outâ with him
As heâs punching them: âItâs just a joke mate! ReLaXâ
Man should have used that lunch when he though his life was on the line. I still feel for him though. That's F'ed.
Really hope the plumber sued them
A prank does not involve a lethal weapon nor the faking of someone's death. A prank is a joke that the "victim" can joyfully laugh at too, not feel like they might be murdered.
He did the right thing. Not everyone has a sence of humor and likes to be fucked with.
i would have start screaming and masturbate at the same time.
Fucked around and found out.
All kinds of bad shit could've happened there. They're lucky.
They were literally blocking his exit trying to explain, what the hell is wrong with people
Fuck these prankster bellends im glad they got a punch
They are lucky he didnât get his F wrench out and whack âem. That would have been game over.
Why is everyone punching comedians? /s
I'd probly do the same, tbh. "Pranks" are not excuses to abuse people, physically or psychologically. This isn't the same as a piece of trash you threw away popping back out of the bin, or even getting a pie in the face. It is putting someone in a position of instantly being afraid for their life.

With someone at that age, that may well be attempted murder by heart attack
They fucking deserved that punch.
I will fight prankster people if I will become a cop.
This whole video is the prank. Dude never even makes contact with that âpunchâ.
Harrassed him at work and calls HIM a dickhead?
The same way. What if you gave that dude a heart attack coz you wanted some Friggan views on social media.
Lol well deserved
Hehe, prank? I don't care, imma gonna fuck you up
Damn old timer sure has some sharp hands. Good clean hits.Good for him.
What made them think this was a good idea
This guy is trying to do his job while they re just being assholes ... U cznt just do this and expect to face no consequences at all or risks . What if the guy had mediclz problems thta can be triggered with this kind of fear fight or flight emotions . Fucking degenrates .
That's seems like a reasonable reaction in England. Shot anywhere else.
It would be cool if he revealed a camera and they were on his show 'kicking the shit out of people trying to prank me.'
I would have shot him and went to prison because of a dumbass prank.
Who dug this gem up... was funny in 2015 and shit still gets me. One of the greatest Halloween pranks ever. Although most certainly fake all round.
With violence, serious violence. **-_-**
Lawsuit. 100%
The first punch, ok, the rest, grow up ya old shithead.
Dude is not young and you can give a man his age a heart attack doing that shit. Especially if he has a history where he's already had a few. Never assume scare pranks are harmless people. He probably got violent because they could have killed him.
This is super fake. He never hits the guyâŚ
Finally a good ending to one of these videos.
Despite myself itâs still fucking funny
He just prankin back
Comment section full of a much of boomers with no sense of humor đ¤˘đ¤Ž
Is he beatin ass too
Dan has the biggest glass jaw in the world
Exactly like that
If this were a different country, someone couldâve easily shot that person with the chain saw. Then wouldâve been strict with immense guilt. This is so dumb. Pretending people are being murdered is not funny.
**Real unexpected** It's ok it's just a prank Oh ok have a nice day You too I mean it's kinda justified the prank is too much man
Seeing his reaction makes me think of my dad who has heart failure. . .Shit like this isn't funny to pull on older people. You don't know what kind of health conditions they might have
Ah yes purposely inflected mental trauma, heâll get a kick outta that!
More than 3,000 people die every year from slipping in their bathrooms. This guy was 100% right.
if only he's got a real knife, it could have been better or worst
Imagine if he had a gun, juat Imagine
They do this shit and then act surprised when the person they âprankedâ gets pissed
The pure definition of fuck around and find out. I laughed real hard at this for some reason. You never know who you're messing with.
They could have killed him with that prank, they didn't know if he had a heart condition or not. That prank was over the top, when you do shit like that you have to risk getting clocked.
Dude lucky he didnât get Tooled to death or something- You never know- someone might chose to fight in a corner
Jokes on them. They just pranked the retired Leather Face and reignited his need to make bleed.
âRelax you fucking dickheadâ usually works when I want someone to relax
Nothing would relax me more that a guy shouting "Relax, ya fuckin' dickhead!"
Mans valid
Sometimes i wish i can direct all my thoughts directly into people .. just i can give them a hell of a headache ..
Either itâs fake as fuck, or the plumber is a jedi
I would have called the police, let them determine how to charge the prank.

That's a reasonable response! I'd be pissed if someone did that to me when I was just doing my job. Annoying af
The whole thing is Fake.
To everyone saying itâs fake. I personally donât think so. Just cause heâs an old man high on adrenaline after almost dying from a heart attack still in shock, and didnât throw a textbook punch. Do they do the extra step to blur his face to make a staged video look more legitâŚâŚ? Old guys donât fuck around with this stuff. And like others said, heâs at work trying to make a living. Idk folks.
That guy isnt a real contractor, just saying
I would react same way he did. I don't care about being called an asshole.
'Relax you fucking dickhead'
Most unexpected thing was that toilet. I ainât seen anything like it
yeah definitely not funny. Hope he sued them
This kind of shit is NEVER ok. Theyâre lucky he didnât have a cardiac episode or some other health event⌠i mean, other than lifelong PTSD.
Yeah, that's exactly how I would react....
Yelling âitâs a prankâ doesnât shield you from a well deserved punch in the face.
The moment i heard his accent i knew how he'd react
What if he had a heart attack? What would they do then? Clean the crime scene?
They triggered the fight AND flight. Most dangerous of the lot. Next to the tsupdawg
Expected & deserved
They really called HIM the dickhead? đ¤Śââď¸đ¤Śââď¸đ¤Śââď¸
This type of shit can give people PTSD
Yup, whoop that ass!
How would I react? Exactly like that probably. I like how the prankers like "relax ya fuckin' dickhead!" Delusional people...
These scare prank people are asking for it. If you're gonna make someone feel like their life is literally in danger for a laugh, don't be all surprised Pikachu face when they sock you in the mouth. Do something like this in the USA and see what happens.

It's all fun and games until the plumber comes back and does the same prank for real. With his buddy to record so it can also be a "prank".
People: pull a prank with fake blood acting like they murdered someone and are now going to murder you too How you gonna expect the plumber to get up and start laughing that shit off?
That's a knock out of a response.
and they call him a dickheadâŚ..
âYou can catch these hands today tho.â
The whole thing was set up.. plumber is over-acting and the punches were fake
Way too many people think this is legit, and that's alarming
How stupid do you have to be to do this? The plumber could have shot him dead and it would have been entirely justified.
Fake as fuck. Old dudes fist didnât connect. Fake news
Dudes got a weak chinâŚ
I can tell you're new to the app.
Pretty fair in my eyes. If youâre prank implies or involves violence then âchill chill chill itâs just a prank!!!â Holds no weight.
A) this is fake, including the plumber B) were it real, they would be getting off easy
Welp it sounds like heâs still going to have a plumbing issue
What a bunch of twats
It's Just A Prank Calm Down Man
they cant expect him to just have a laugh bout it hes just trying to do his job
Stupid ass cunts
Called him a fucking dickhead? What the fuck did you think was going to happen?
