“Social experiment gone sexual in the hood prank gone wrong (ALMOST DIES)”  
I’m sick of clickbait shit like this. Prank videos need to stop.

The view count is _ **huge** _ though. Maybe SourceRuns videos should start being called “Half-Life 2 Physics DESTROYED Prank GONE WRONG! Huge glitch!! Gordon ALMOST DIES! [SOCIAL EXPERIMENT].” Who knows? Maybe it would work.

In seriousness, prank videos are among the worst things on YouTube (other things include DMCA, reaction videos and 80% of comments). BitRain’s link plus [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95flK-IZDYg) sum it up pretty well.
