That’s the lesson Australian YouTube pranksters “Reckless Youth” appeared to learn the hard way after their botched “ATM Robbery prank” ended in disaster and a broken nose.
A 2014 prank video gone wrong made the rounds on social media recently depicting a trio of Sydney-based teenagers Daniel Maran, Robert Milazzo, and George Proestos, pretending to rob an ATM in an apparent ploy to spark viral reactions from unwitting bystanders.

“Give me the money!” the prankster playing the robber yelled while jumping on the “victim,” portrayed by another member of the group, screaming “Get off me” after he was tackled to the ground.
Largely decried as “a dangerous prank staged by three stupid young men,” as one 9 News Australia anchor put it during the clip’s first viral foray, Maran, then 19, attempted to defend the clip as a “social experiment.”
“The reason we made the video was it was a social experiment and what we wanted to try to prove was that there are people out there that are going to help in a robbery,” he told PerthNow, back in 2014.
“Literally in every clip someone came and pulled George off me except in the last clip where it went a bit far,” he continued, explaining that the collective anticipated some physical responses. “We expected that.”
“If your ‘prank’ is indistinguishable from assault and attempted robbery, it's not a prank,” Twitter user @johnhawkinsrwn commented.
Take it from Reckless Youth – leave What Would You Do? to the professionals, lest you be called a dumbass on national television.

A recent post on Reddit brought to light a strange cultural custom in Sweden where they do not feed their guests when dinner time comes around. After the user sebastian25525 posed the question, "What is the weirdest thing you had to do at someone's house because of their culture/religion?" Many people responded with strange and awkward moments at their friend's houses.
The most popular response came from a user who said they spent time at their Swedish friend's house and when it came time for dinner, the friend didn't invite them but told them to wait until their dinner was done.
This sparked many from all over the internet to share stories of their Swedish friends not inviting them to dinner, bringing to light the anti-social Swedish custom.
One Twitter user shared a story of when she moved to Sweden and her friend's mother told her to wait in the bedroom and play with toys while the family had dinner.
The topic of impolite Swedish families then developed into a larger discussion of the historical position Sweden took in colonialism. Many people on the internet are calling it #SwedenGate.
If a friend's family is not inviting you to dinner, it's probably best to call it a night and head home. It would be strange to play with your friend's toys while they enjoyed dinner together. The disrespect is unbelievable!
