Oct 16 2009Highly Questionable Japanese Sniper Prank
Is there anything funnier than tricking a Japanese man into a meeting and then faking the death of everybody else in the room by sniper fire? No. Unlessssss the alleged gunman then bursts in and puts his weapon to the man's head and pulls the trigger. Seriously, you're sick, Japan (keep the freaky Hentai coming).
Thanks to Closet Nerd and Harry, whose parents don't allow them to watch Japanese TV for fear of them becoming morally corrupt.

I heard about this from the Bizzare File on Preston & Steve this morning.
I just had to find it and send it in.

The funny thing is that this is probably a commercial for napkins or shampoo
9. bribios - October 16, 2009 3:12 PM
Thats pretty friggin funny. I'd say it could be dangerous because if that actually does happen to someone in Japan they might think it's a joke now, but then again Japan has like what, 20 shooting deaths a year?

@6 nice submission
11. Sprue Rubbles - October 16, 2009 3:14 PM
That's horrible. Not funny at all. BUT it's Japan so... not sure what but it's Japan.
12. naas - October 16, 2009 3:17 PM
yeah it was
13. wood - October 16, 2009 3:18 PM
Huh? Probably would have fractured a finger or two after bashing in that 2nd idiots face when they told me it was a joke. Then, just stand there and laugh at his busted up ass and ask if that's funny too.

Gotta love that the voice-over is done by Craymen from Panzer Dragoon Saga.
15. Kathryn - October 16, 2009 3:24 PM
Not funny at all. It's the equivalent of a doctor walking in and telling a patient that he has only five minutes left to live. And then with 10 seconds left, saying, "Just kidding!" WTF? Why laugh at someone else's terror? And it's not even a quick "Boo!" It's extended over some time where he's in utter panic fight/flight mode. Not funny at all.
16. naas - October 16, 2009 3:31 PM
@15 YES IT IS. I laughed therefore IT IS FUNNY
Christ lighten up people, it's a friggin JOKE. That's why it's called a prank. You can't pull something like this off by serving someone cold coffee or a plastic donut - the situation needs to be extreme. grow some balls already, sheesh
Haven't you ever seen scare tatics or candid camera? ITS A PRAAANNK
17. henree - October 16, 2009 3:33 PM
omg that is so messed up. reminds me of the time i thought i killed my little sister... cause i did a choke-hold.
18. p-teK - October 16, 2009 3:35 PM
Am I the only one who thought this would've been a lot cooler had the shooting now been so chaotic? If the squibs were made to look more like calculated sniper shots and the guys had fallen one at a time I think it would've been a cooler prank. But sheer terror works too.
19. Richard McBeef - October 16, 2009 3:40 PM
@17 I choke your sister all the time and it isn't that big a deal. She likes it.
20. Lizzie - October 16, 2009 3:49 PM
so what if the "victim" had a gun on him, and decided to play hero??
this isn't funny at all, I really don't find joy in other people's pain and fear...
21. Hawk - October 16, 2009 3:51 PM
Daaaammmnn!! Japan is hard core!
22. Sprue Rubbles - October 16, 2009 3:57 PM
Naas. It's not about "growing a pair." It's about decency and respect. So you would be totally happy if you were the guy that this happened to? And everyone laughed at your expense? If so then you have no arguments from me. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
23. frothy - October 16, 2009 4:02 PM
wow.
24. Sulbirness - October 16, 2009 4:11 PM

36. naas - October 16, 2009 5:03 PM
@22 YES. I would... I've been punked before, had the shit scared outta me & yes it was crazy - - but after the prank bit was up & I realized it wasn't real IT WAS A RELIEF making all the paranoid hysteria FUNNNY ahahahahahaha.... Yes at my own expense even, all part of being good fun. Sometimes you have to be the fall guy & I have been before. So yes, yes & yes to your questions
Listening to a few other people whine about how mean, wrong or cruel that is makes me gag. Cotton stuffed pillows with leaky tear ducts find this offensive

Hahaha, you gotta love the crazy nips, they take things to the extreme because there such an emotionally inverted people that it has to be extreme to get a reaction from the target audience.
39. naas - October 16, 2009 5:09 PM

I laughed my f'ing ass off, this is like scare tactics, on crack, and is damn near as hardcore as muffins
46. shellshell - October 16, 2009 6:42 PM
If we all watched Japenese Tv we'd all be f'ing crazy!! Some of the gameshows over there are beyond highbrow!! Although if there was no Japanese Tv there would be no hentai and that would make my friends sad :( haha!!
47. JFreezy - October 16, 2009 7:14 PM
@26, Amen brutha!
@37, I'm with you naas! I've been pranked/scared bad to the point of almost pissing my pants LOL!! What did I do after the joke was revealed? LAUGHED LIKE HELL! Then I pissed my pants for real!!
Calm down all you douche bags! Back on topic, I think it would have been more realistic if the people that got shot played dead. They were all still moving around lol!
48. David - October 16, 2009 9:34 PM
HEY. why the f@ck are all of your videos taken from break.com?
Geekologie readers...save yourself sometime and head over to break.com
49. a dog - October 16, 2009 10:23 PM
I just speak the truth. Why do you think people keep saying first? Cuz you fags keep complaining about it. Pretty damn simple. naas is a douche. go get some pussy
50. Closet Nerd - October 16, 2009 10:25 PM
@49 looks like its from youtube to me
51. a dog - October 16, 2009 10:31 PM
@49 But then naas will have nothing to live for. This site is his life cuz he's a faggot
52. naas - October 16, 2009 11:32 PM
@49 no thanks, more fun here
@52 is right, I do live for geekologie :)
53. sloan - October 17, 2009 12:04 AM
I'm just waiting for the day when one of those pranks ends with the victim killing someone.
There's a show called Infarto (real name) on TV in Mexico that does stuff like that all the time. One of these days someone will pull a knife and slash a throat.
Whoops! Ha ha. Funny.
54. a dog - October 17, 2009 12:40 AM
@53 you're just not that bright are you. suck my poop
55. a dog - October 17, 2009 1:29 AM
Maybe in Mexico, but in Japan that isn't barely in the realm of possibility. Nobody has guns there but the Yakuza, police, and military. It jives with their strive for living harmoniously with one another.
56. Closet Nerd - October 17, 2009 10:58 AM
@55 "Suck my poop" Really? Thats the best you could come up with?
Where do you get your suits? The toilet store?
57. a dog - October 17, 2009 1:13 PM
@57 wow you're a witty one. COOOOL. suck my poop nerd
58. Leo N. - October 17, 2009 6:24 PM

61. ted - October 18, 2009 11:25 PM
wow.
you's guys are getting pretty upset about this here geekologieland. we're all on the same team. R E L A X. jeez
and the link is broke. i think i'd like to go to japan. it'd be like going to a different planet. things that just look like normal life are hilarious to them over there.
62. Jaded Icon - October 19, 2009 7:47 AM
I guess I wouldn't mind the prank so much as the recording of my sheer terror and playing it on television for the whole country (plus interwebz) to see.
63. Geekolojew - October 19, 2009 8:13 AM
Must See!!!

65. bR1an - October 21, 2009 9:16 AM
What a twisted nation. What kind of producer would green light this kind of stuff? Wish this would happen to me... the lawsuit I would unleash would be talked about for generations to come. Mental anguish, PTSD... the list would be endless and would certainly end a few careers if not bring about the end of that TV station altogether.
66. hehe king - October 21, 2009 5:57 PM
are there concealed weapon permits in japan? what if the guy had a concealed gun and blew away at teh jokesters killin them for realz?
HAHA!!! now dats funneh!
67. alex - October 21, 2009 7:15 PM
to everyone saying it's sick.....
this is a japan show called gaki no-tsuki, the guy they prank is a person on the show, he flips out at the second guy b/c he's the shows director

Japanese prank shows: over-the-top enthusiasm and total disregard for personal safety. Here are the Top 3 Best Japanese Hidden Camera Stunts of All Time .
69. Tysher - October 22, 2009 11:27 AM
It's amazing how a simple internet post still originates such a level of hate and insult between people that have never met but happen to have contrary opinions.
There is aparently no problem in scaring someone to death, but to deem that imoral is met with instant flames?
I haven't seen the video yet but i bet i'll find it funny, since it didn't happen to me.
It is normal to laugh at other peoples (and our own) miseries; a totaly different matter is to consider it a "normal" thing to do.
70. bluehost host - October 25, 2009 9:29 PM
Is that mean or what?
71. sutekidayo - November 21, 2009 3:51 PM
Hahaha!! Its a show called London Hearts. I love that show, and the guy being pranked is a famous owarai geinin. Dude people, lighten up, The people busting in are saying they're cops and that they need to get out, and when the second cop came in (The host of the show) the person being pranked knew exactly what was up. Its like Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd or Scare tactics... Pure Hilarity!
