I love watching prank shows on television, but never in my life i would prank someone just for the sake of laughing and entertaining myself. I would like to know why some people would prefer making pranks just to entertain themselves? There are lots of other things you can laughed about, but putting someone in a humiliating situation for me is just too much. How about you?

Because it can not only make yourself laugh, but also the people who are teased by your laugh. We all have different kinds of pressure. So we need some time to have a good laugh. And making the pranks can relax us. A good prank shall not be harmful for others. It is just for fun.

Some pranks are funny alone without the intention of humiliation. There are times that I would also dislike prank wherein I see that it is extremely humiliating and already inappropriate. The purpose of a prank is to kid around, for laughs, and if it is any other thing then it is no longer appreciable.

I don't care for being pranked at all. It isn't entertaining to me. I think some people enjoy seeing other caught of guard, embarrassed and even put in harms way. I don't find humiliating someone is funny or entertaining. I see atleast a couple of these type shows listed on tv and I can't bare to watch them. I feel sorry for the victims.

That's really a bizaare thing to do. I don't like the way they humiliate people live on television. It is simply not appropriate in the eyes of other people concern.

It is just pranks and one must take it sportingly. I think those who do not like pranks must be confident enough to ask the other person they do not like pranks on that and it is all about it. Pranks makes us laugh and it is good for health. it changes some people's day. it is good medicine and i like pranks because I am a laughter box. ..Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead..
