Gaming pranker and his family fall victim to extreme revenge prank

[Therumancer]

I don't find all that much wrong with that video actually. Seems pretty typical for a griefing group, and doesn't go as far as some of the stuff I've seen from Goons and Channers capped from "Second Life" and the like.

To be entirely honest the girl seemed like despite her surprise she was having fun, especially at the beginning. She didn't seem to get upset until she received the spam and realized she was being streamed, which was actual "phrank" part of it.

I even notice that Keemstar asked her age first.

As far as him being married goes, let's just say that I know lots of girls who would find this hilarious, especially if they are not on the receiving end.

The whole thing reminds me a bit of the old movie "Pump Up The Volume" where the protaganist used to pretend he was masterbating on his pirate radio channel (along with other things).

As far as getting the guy "SWATted" or "Vanned" or however you want to put it, that was out of line, unless of course he did something to someone well beyond that paticular video.

Remember that if the girl in question felt she was being sexually harassed for most of that she DOES have a number of options. Ignoring the guy, turning the sound down to be inaudible, and similar things are all viable options in Halo I believe.

To be fair, that flooding insurance line was hilarious.

Definitely a moron though.

Sure, the guy might be a jerk, but it's just a stupid game! If you have a problem with what he's saying, just mute him and block his communication, don't break the law and get a man put in jail(if only for a little while).

My heart goes out to all those gaming girls out there

Well, it wouldn't have been so bad, but Officer Reynolds dropped the flashbang in the doorway and the SWAT leader, blinded, sprayed fire wildly around the room, injuring several people. So he had to try the whole operation all over again...

Alright, name that reference.

OT: Less than he deserved.

And Team Captain Antwiler ran out of the house right before it "accidentally" exploded, killing all inside but none of the SWAT Team... Save for Reynolds who was somehow trapped in the bathroom when this happened.

And I agree with you that he got less than he deserved. I'd have taken a fucking driver to his face.

To me that's what justifies it. Acting like an asshole and annoying someone temporarily is more than outweighed by bringing joy and entertainment to thousands of people.

Well, we wopn't see eye to eye then as you seem to think harassing and bullying someone is ok if it makes someone else get a cheap laugh. Pretty sick.

But even if Keemstar did this with completely malicious intent, again, it's an online match in a videogame. It's not that big of a deal.

Try telling the girl that. Maybe if someone treated your sister/girlfriend/mother like that you'd laugh at it, but I'd want to break the fucker's fingers so he can never play Halo again.

Last time I checked it called a mute button, or she could have quit. I am not promoting what he said but all i have to say is that is was her choice.

 

[Mechsoap]

Why can't we just be polite and say ''nice game everyone, i really enjoyed it'' instead of harassment or idiotic comments.

Her choice? Are you serious?

Someone should not have to mute people to avoid being harassed. It was certainly not her choice to have her inbox spammed with messages later in the video, she is clearly pleading for them to stop.

I see where you are coming from and i feel for her, a person should not have to mute others and should not have to leave games, but the fact of the matter is we don't live in a perfect world. The problem is that just by here staying in the match she is involuntarily fueling the fire.

The guy belongs to something called the "Federation of Asshole Gamers", and plays games for the sole purpose of pissing off random strangers. No matter WHAT happens to him because of this, it can safely be said that he had it coming.

If you were in a bar and a guy started harassing your sister/girlfriend/friend and then told her 'if you don't like it then leave', would you tell her she was fuelling the fire by staying?

 

[mortalsatsuma]

Even though this was a pretty heavy-handed prank on the guy I really feel no sympathy for him at all seeing as he claims what he was doing to people on xbox live was just harmless fun basically.

 

[MurderousToaster]

Well, quite frankly, no he didn't.

There's a simple solution to someone trolling you on Halo - the mute button. Achievable in just a few little button presses you can mute someone and if the irritation is persistent you can block all contact.

The woman he was "sexually harassing" could have shut both him and his buddies up in less than ten seconds, but she didn't. I mean, trolling random people is a dickhead thing to do but when it's literally as easy as pressing a few buttons to make them be quiet permanently, not doing so is just pure laziness.

Either DJ Keemstar's videos are staged or that girl deserved it if she didn't think of muting him.

.

Muting would not stop the influx of harassing messages she started to receive from him and his asshole buddies.

And you most certainly do not deserve to have a swat team come to your house for sending disparaging messages.


This is ridiculous.

Right, so if he were killed, then by your logic, he had it coming.
Your argument is entirely invalid.

Of course not, but I still have a hard time feeling any sympathy for such a complete jerk. His family yes, but not him.

Sticks and stones.

I made it about halfway through their Greatest Hits video and wondered where the comedy was. Sounds like fourth-rate Borat/Kaufman sort of stuff. Just run around acting like an ass, then goofing on anyone who has a perfectly natural reaction to your stupidity.

This generally isn't very funny unless the person you're messing with over-reacts in a fairly major way. The girl here starts off finding it a bit funny, then gradually starts getting creeped out by it. The great bulk of the "humor" isn't her reaction, but his antics, since she quickly starts having as little to do with as possible.

But I guess putting on douche sunglasses and posting it on YouTube makes it funny.

tbh I kind of wish a SWAT team went around to the houses of EVERY asshole troll gamer out there. Kind of like when Jay & Silent Bob went around to the houses of everyone who talked trash on the internet and kicked them in the balls. These people are just immature attention seeking losers who get some kind of power trip off of ruining other people's days behind the anonymity of the internet. Beat their asses.
