Here's a little comic relief for your Friday. In a recent video, the folks at Top End Safari Camp in Australia showed how they use one of their crocodiles to scare the daylights out of tourists while they pose for a group photo.
There was a time, before selfies and social networks and WiFi built in to most consumer-level cameras, that getting a group shot in a busy tourist setting required two steps. Step one: ask a stranger to take your group's photo, and Step Two: apologize profusely as, one by one, every person in your group keeps handing the kind stranger ANOTHER camera so they can have a picture too.
Those days are, for the most part, gone. But back in 2009, an Australian comedy show called The Chaser's War on Everything had some fun with 'step two.'
Here's a little bit of funny to get you through the rest of your Friday and send you off into the weekend in a good mood, because nothing helps alleviate stress like watching other people get the crap scared out of them... photo prank style.
It's the weekend, which means we get to share something silly with you to help you either forget about last week, put off thinking about next week, or both.
Last week, we shared a humorous video in which pranksters used a squirt gun camera to covertly spray unwitting tourists in London. In this week's video, twins Jack and Finn of JacksGap pretend to "teleport" mid picture to the astonishment of the stranger they roped into taking their photo.
Here's one to put a smile on your face. Roman Atwood has made a name for himself on YouTube by pulling off creative and often downright hilarious pranks. For his most recent prank, he teamed up with buddy Dennis Roady and went photographic. Or at the very least they pretended to.
Ready for a laugh? The above video was put together by the band Go Periscope's Florin Merano, and it shows him goofing off with his friends by pretending he's taking their picture when, in fact, he's shooting video. It's hilarious and even hard to watch at times as his friends awkwardly hold poses for what seems like an eternity waiting for him to snap a photo that he has no intention of taking.
