hello and welcome to top X where we
count down the very best that YouTube
has to offer today we’re feeling
mischievous and counting down the top 10
YouTube pranksters
for this list we’re counting down those
channels devoted to practical jokes and
hidden cameras while the channels in
question don’t have to be entirely
devoted to pranks prank videos have to
be among their most popular clips on
their Channel we ranked our picks based
on a mix of subscriber numbers votes
from our users personal preference and
general impact on the YouTube community
number 10 comedyshortsgamer out of all
the channels we’re gonna take a look at
today this is the one channel that’s not
actually entirely devoted to pranks in
fact desi who runs the channel is
actually probably best known for his
other channel where he reviews video
games that’s not to say that he doesn’t
do a lot of great pranks simple though
they may be now I say simple because
while other channels use elaborate
setups and costumes and such
desi barely ever leaves his house how
would your mom react if you told her you
got your girlfriend pregnant
three months pregnant actually scanning
through his videos his best stuff is
usually the stuff that involves his
parents he pranks them so much that they
even tried to prank him back
unsuccessfully there’s gonna be Frankie
you got me you should’ve had Tim I’m
sorry that you punched me sorry okay no
nose
number 9 viral brothers at number 9 we
have the viral brothers a duo from
Prague who founded their channel back in
2011 definitely the best part about
their channel is the sort of spy versus
spy vibe that they’ve got going where
they often state that the upcoming prank
is revenge for a previous prank
what’s fun about this aside from the
sort of one-up nature that keeps things
escalating is that it creates sort of a
narrative thread that ties the videos
together it’s fun to check back to see
if one subject got revenge on another
and to wait in anticipation for the
vicious revenge that’s about to unfold
to give you an example of just how far
these revenge pranks go their most
popular and definitely most horrific
video is a double prank where one of the
brothers in question tells his
girlfriend that he’s been having an
affair but she’s been clued in on it and
then pretends to commit suicide by
jumping out of the window broken glass
and a body double are used to great
effect if it was staged it was very
convincing number 8 ed Bassmaster Edie
is all about pranking in character a
quick look at his banner will probably
clue you into this but essentially his
shtick is that he likes to dress up in
various characters and then do his
pranks like that although these
characters are relatively simple by ways
of makeup and costumes it’s his
unflinching commitment to the roles that
sells the whole channel really yeah the
only power what you look at that put
that jug look at that I can’t pull it
out either I’d have to drill it on it
yeah it’s sad it’s the only mark can we
just look at it
Edie or rather his characters like to do
a lot of collaborations those of you
that watched our lifestyle bloggers
video would be familiar with Shaytards
and BF versus GF where ed has actually
made a bunch of appearances it’s pattern
just a little bit
those of you that prefer your pranks to
be more awkward and cringe-worthy rather
than mean-spirited will probably like
Ed’s channel more than others in fact
one of his videos which he did in
collaboration with ABC is essentially
just him handing out bicycles to people
for free in character of course do me a
favor dude can you hold a socket on my
shoe my kickstands broke sorry
number seven roman atwood roman has a
channel you’re probably already familiar
with thanks to his infamous anniversary
prank backfires video this clip which
has been seen a whopping 53 million
times shows his girlfriend giving him a
taste of his own medicine
with who yo talk oh my fucking god
can better be large what now
say what you want about Roman you can’t
say that the guy doesn’t have balls his
most popular videos are often him coming
very close to bodily harm as he pretends
to pee on Ferraris steal people’s tyres
or get caught siphoning gas how did you
think that guy was gonna react alright
dude it’s fucking joke it’s this element
of danger that really ties the whole
channel together those pranks that are
not specifically dangerous really push
the boundaries as to what’s going too
far for a prank like one where he
pretends to kill his son in front of his
wife not for the faint of heart
oh my god
yeah
Oh
number six magic of rahat and number six
we have a guy who describes himself as
the magician prankster while this might
give you a kind of an idea of what his
pranks entail I’d say that his stunts
rarely incorporate what I would call
magic and more just elaborate setups
whereas a hidden camera and a lack of
self reservation are all that Roman at
whatever seems to need rahat likes props
specifically props that make him seem
like he’s been horribly injured there is
one thing that rahat is famous for and
that is drive through pranks now these
drive through pranks are often very
similar to his other pranks in so much
that they evolved an elaborate setup and
convincing his victim that he’s in some
sort of horrible state except his
victims this time around are always
drive-through workers his head one
infamous clip that you may have already
come across is his invisible driver
prank which is exactly what it sounds
like it’s these elaborate creative
setups and a focus on surprising people
rather than angering them that makes
rahat channel a welcome change from this
competitor’s just throw it in here oh my
girls oh yeah I’m a ghost sister thank
you
number five Remy gaya so remembering our
previous entries I said that Roman likes
to annoy people and rahat likes his
elaborate setups now if you’re having
trouble choosing between the two you may
like our next entry who likes to make
elaborate setups in order to annoy
people specifically the cops
jung haecheol
hey Shyam a nutball Don if you haven’t
already guessed Remi likes to dress up
for his pranks and often the costume
he’s wearing reflects the prank that
he’s pulling for example one insanely
popular video has him dressed up as
Mario driving through traffic in a
go-cart throwing banana peels at cars
this love of dressing up as various
mischievous characters and animals is
even reflected in his motto sit down
face on a pole to cuando viene pal
turkey which translates roughly into its
in doing anything that you can become
anything
you
it’s this mix of pop culture references
and mischief that definitely makes this
videos a bit more accessible than some
of the other pranksters will see today
although the people in his videos are
definitely annoyed by his stunts there
is a level of good-natured fun that
definitely isn’t present in some of
these other guys
number four diem pranks productions we
hope you got a good dose of the
light-hearted stuff because we’re done
with that for now
no more annoying voices no more mischief
just shit your pants scary stuff how do
you feel about clowns
as you’ve just terrifyingly witnessed
their most famous videos are their
killer Klown series which convinced
their hapless victims that they’re about
to meet their end at the hands of a
crazed circus performer there are other
popular stuff follows this vein as well
they have one with a vicious mutant mask
one involving a demonic little girl one
involving a psycho with a flamethrower
you get the idea
what’s kind of funny about their channel
though is that the other strong series
on the channel is completely different
they have a number of videos that they
call social experiments which use hidden
camera setups like pranks except they
are a bit more nuanced and less
dependent on people losing their minds
like it with the book w/o Animas kids
are you gonna go bad you did it I’m
gonna and this pretty much gonna make
another use this one these videos post
social questions like would you stop a
mugging would you steal from the
homeless
would you help someone evade a killer
clown
number three fouseytube Yousef or pussy
uses a lot of the elements we’ve seen
today to great effect props elaborate
setups hidden cameras are all used very
well and frequently in his videos
what sets his videos apart is sort of an
underlying level of good humour while
his victims certainly aren’t laughing as
they’re being pranked often his videos
show him breaking character pointing to
his hidden camera and then laughing it
off with whoever Hey Hey
well he certainly does scare the crap
out of a lot of people this good-natured
attitude is best reflected perhaps in
his most popular video spider-man in
real life this is actually an insanely
cute video and not so much of a prank
where he dresses up like spider-man and
then recruits young kids to help him
save the day Oh a lot of the channels
that we look at on topics post on a
regular basis but less so for this
episode whether it’s from a lack of
ideas or a lack of funding prank
channels have a tough time delivering
consistent content fouseytube
is almost peerless in this regard as
it’s a channel that’s updated on a
dependable weekly basis making it a good
one to check back on
you just called my butt fat I thought
you girl I thought I was a girl no you
know you liked what you saw number two
prank vs. prank so if there’s one
channel that out does the viral brothers
in terms of spy versus spy kind of theme
its prank vs. prank unsurprisingly it’s
so sticky why is it so sticky
maybe you should you should wash it out
enough this is glue you may remember
Jesse and Jeana from our top and
lifestyle vloggers episode 4 their
channel bf vs. GF while that channel is
definitely more active this one is
definitely more popular yeah let’s go
whoa Jesse and Jeana rarely ever disturb
a soul for their pranks no their victims
are just each other and victims they are
their most popular video has Jeana
setting up the apartment convinced
Jessie that she’s been cheating on him a
setup that’s actually been tried by a
number of other pranksters on this list
I was gonna murder whoever was in that
bed because Jesse and Gina are in love
you’d think that they wouldn’t wish too
much ill upon each other and that things
wouldn’t get to me well sometimes they
do like one clip where Jesse convinces
Gina that their cat fell out the window
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one vitalyzdtv self-described as
a Russian dude with a camera and some
wonderful ideas Vitaly turns to the
public for his unsuspecting victims
I hate to use the term mean-spirited but
some of these pranks are downright nasty
one of his most popular videos is one
that’s very similar to a DM pranks
production video as it’s set in a
parking garage and is complete with what
looks like an amputee and a very
convincing looking chainsaw
a common theme throughout the videos is
a mockery of Western culture and the
dating scene
specifically the sort of shallow nature
thereof for instance one video that you
may have already come across is him
trying to pick up girls while leaning on
a fancy car best see for yourself
oh not you want to too bad I don’t like
gold diggers as you can see when he’s
not scaring the crap out of people the
host is often trying to put himself in
extremely awkward social situations in
an attempt to provoke a huge reaction
from his subjects I’m just what I don’t
think he’d mind me saying this but
Vitaly is the ultimate shit disturber so
those of you that are savage jackasses
no longer on the air will definitely
feel right at home on his channel oh
yeah this guy really bad girl hidden
camera oh good you look here’s a frog
who’s either richer tonight oh well
