Another day, another TikTok trend. This time it’s about pranking people. TikTok creators are now enjoying this pranking trend where they tell their friends and/or family that a celebrity they are fond of has just died evoking a reaction from them and this is funny to some whilst offensive to others.
TikTok Pranks
This prank trend can be seen as a way to make fun of fake news and in some, the reactions bring out laughter; however, there are still many who actually find this prank disrespectful. Some users like showing their family or friends exaggerated reactions like screams and audible gasps or expressions and took these reactions as funny. On the other hand, many other viewers believe that joking about death like this is unnecessary and of ill manners, as these celebrities may have had a huge impact on the lives of the people you were pranking so this prank could lead to some ill will rather than laughter.
