I like to watch 3 types of pranks. I like the bushman videos, shampoo pranks, and slapping videos.

Pranks just aren't pranks on YouTube for me anymore.
There was the era of Ed Bassmaster, Jack Vale, et al., which was the golden era of pranks that you could laugh at because you knew that they were genuine. Then, the likes of Vitaly and FouseyTube came along with "pranks" that got better reactions, which were funny, until it all unraveled that they were fake. Now, I put all YouTube pranks into question, and it's difficult to tell whether they're real or not, which lowered my enjoyment of watching pranks on YouTube.
I still might get a laugh out of a fake prank, but I would like to return to an era where pranks were real and unscripted. However, with the change in society not tolerating pranksters, mainly because of IRL streamers that are "pranksters" (really just people that harass others for a reaction), I don't think that's possible anymore.

A person dresses up as a bush and then jumps out at them. I posted one of these videos on here somewhere.

I watched the reality TV show of it for the drama. Once I realized how dumb the sport is — kind of like you kick me in the balls, then I kick you in the balls kindergarten dumb — I tuned out.
I can only imagine how much quicker Power Slap (and other federations) "athletes" will develop CTE than NFL players. I can't support that level of stupidity...
