Raised rich or poor, Mike's a brat, a funny and smart brat. It was a great prank, and damn how much did all those drinks cost? Dude, use the drink money and get your own crib. Doesn't he own that energy drink? That's what I got from it. Seems like it's probably a new biz and this was just their way of making a commercial. totally, it's a viral video selling a drink | |

johnart said: paintedlady said: If Mike were your child, he wouldn't dare. Why? because he would know his boundaries because YOU would make them clear to him. Some parents are good people, but bad parents, and every parent never admits to poor parenting. That's what I meant by that. Some people think "raised right" means providing $$$$ and basic nurturing. Some parents are "cold", so some kids just take advantage because they don't feel sorry and learn to be just as cold. I thought the prank was clever because he was able to make mom lose control. His prank would have not succeeded if they were calm, showed no reaction and told him quietly, "Oh, you got jokes? Pack your juices and get out...now." I won't let my kid stress me out, I bet you wouldn't either. I totally know what you're saying when you say " if Mike where your child". And part of me agrees with you. I guess the only way I can put it is to say that I've seen it close up in my own family where someone can raise a child in a way that is deemed "right" and they still turn out something I won't even say on here because I actually plan to tell these kids to their own faces. Selfish kids who leech off parents and think their shit is funny strikes close to home so I might look at this with a harsher eye maybe. I'm still not convinced it's not fake tho. so mum got paid for it? could I do that for money and have it posted all over the internet? no way!!! | |

johnart said: paintedlady said: Your theory makes sense to me and I can see why she would be so upset. But her reaction! Oh boy! She needs a spa day, after her ski trip. I guess I just don't get why her reaction is out of line or the fact that she was on a ski trip is relevant to anything. If my shit was gone from my house I would be Pissed the Fuck OFF. (Just saw this!) I am pointing out her ski trip because after some R&R, you would think she would be a bit relaxed, less likely to wig out. Its was only stacked bottles cases and not structural damage done to her home. So I would guess she was in a good mood when she saw this? So um, what would she do after a long hard work week? But you may be right, it could all have been staged. | |

But you may be right, it could all have been staged. I don't know, if I come home to this after my week in Fiji, I would be VERY likely to freak out more than any old week night, there is a feeling of unease and worry about your home in your absence, and an anticipation of seeing everything is still there as you left it. Not condoning her behaviour, but I'm never happy and relaxed until I get home and everything is as it should be. | |

For some reason, I can imagine you having meltdowns like this, on your bad days. For some reason, I don't give a shit. PS You're about 1000 light years off base on your assumption. | |

I'm so confused by this. I know they mentioned in the video that the father has OCD, ADHD and all that, but does the mother have it too? I'm not sure I understand why someone would freak out like this b/c someone carefully moved their things and replaced them with cases of Vital Energy, all of which they planned to put back.
Is it the interior decorator thing? [Edited 4/15/10 9:11am] I graduated bitches!!! 12-19-09 | |

We don't know what else this kid has done to his parents, but we sure know what he did this time. Yes, the mom went off. So why do you think this is an isolated incident, and not the result of many other things the son has done? The dad is the one that looked like a nut in all this. "He must be mad at us". WTF? Shouldn't YOU be mad at HIM? Anyway, I'd have jacked that kid's jaw if given the chance. | |

Guys, seriously...none of know the history of this family. For all we know the son might have been tormenting the parents time and time again with his pranks and ventures and this was the final straw for the mom. Or maybe not. But we have no idea so...
None of you have ever been pushed to the point of totally losing it or cracking? I know I have, maybe not in the same way as this women supposedly cracked...but who's to say we have to all react in the same way? Anyway, this style of prank your parents ad/entertainment has been done so many times before and is pretty stale, imo. | |

You're right we don't knwo what else...if anything else this kid has done..so to call him a piece of shit is a bit extreme to me. I didn't say I thought it was an isolated event...even if it's the 100th prank he's pulled on her...her reaction was still WAY overboard. I thought that dad seem rather rational...assessing the situation with calm..trying to rationalize why on earth the son would do something like that.. hence "he must be mad at us" what's to be mad at? there was no broken glass, no broken china (oh phew!) no damage what so ever. anyway I'd have bitch slapped momma if given the chance, and told her to "snap out of it". "not a fan" yeah...ok | |

Something is weird.....when the parents walk in, the dad looks straight in the camera and smirks. Is he in on the joke??? For someone that has OCD/ADHD, the dad is way too calm. Very suspicious.
Also - this is obviously a brilliant youtube ad for Vital Energy. They must have supplied the cases for the "prank," and then took them back to the company's warehouse, hence the logo placement at the end! This is an ad disguised as a prank. Very funny! | |

He didn't know he was looking in the camera. The camera was hidden in the china cabinet. He probably glanced at the china cabinet saw all the drinks in there and smirked at that.

The dad just realized what was going on and went with it at first. But at one point I think he does think the kid is mad at them and is taping their reaction for another reason. It's no kind of ad with cursing in it. Not the typical ad you'd find on TV. | |

This is the funniest shit I've seen in a long time. The mom is a hysterical fool. Seriously, I'd hate to be around her during a real crisis. And, even if Mike is a complete asshole or prankster or whatever, the joke was lame. Let's fill the house with bottles of energy drinks? Oh funny! Clever! Please. It's not like he filled the house with garbage and built his own little Devil's Tower on the dining room table.
