Anyone like BlackBox TV? They do extreme pranks, and they do them with excellent production quality.
Their new roommate prank. Too much?
And then she told everybody at the office to further his humiliation! Just in case it wasn’t complete.
Yeah, there’d be serious talks in our house.
That was during the prank.
-
When he found out, he was relieved and kissed her.
-
She still thinks the prank was hilarious, so he did nothing that convinced her otherwise.
-
No report of subsequent divorce.
I can’t even conceive of making my wife cry on purpose and finding the situation “hilarious”.
The only thing that would make that joke funny is the husband replying “I’m actually relieved because I’ve been cheating too.”
I would have been very upset.
First off, telling someone an outright lie that is plausibly true doesn’t fit my definition of an April Fool’s joke. I suppose I can see the humor in something that is obviously wrong, but I’m hard pressed to think of anything that is so obviously wrong it fits that definition. Maybe if she said she’s leaving him to marry a giant stuffed teddy bear at a wedding presided over by unicorns. But leaving him for another man? That’s entirely plausible.
Secondly, April Fools jokes are never funny if someone is hurt by them. Doesn’t matter how unintentional, or how temporary. “I only hurt him so we could laugh about it later” is just sick on so many different levels.
It’s cruel. It’s emotional manipulation. If she thinks it’s funny, I think she’s a bully. To hell with her.
I gotta go with the herd on this one - the wife sounds like an asshole.
I would react very badly if I was on the receiving end of such treatment, but I have no proper metric for understanding it as a joke. I can’t see that there is a funny side.
That’s pretty messed up. I don’t know if I’d file for divorce, but I’d be really, seriously pissed.
I would have inadvertently ruined the joke by confessing that I’ve been fucking her sister for the last 3 years.
It’s possible two people with the same sense of humor miraculously found each other. IF the husband thinks it’s funny now and is planning to avenge himself in similar fashion, maybe they are soulmates.
I opportunistically made up a totally bizarre Easter tradition from my childhood to tell my wife about as an April Fool’s joke, which mushroomed into accidentally fooling a lot of people on Facebook with the same story. But the point was (I hope) that the story was so weird that people enjoyed its telling first straightfaced and then later as I added so many ridiculous details that it collapsed under its own weight. Nobody got hurt by it unless they were embarrassed at believing it.
Something like this?
Not that I necessarily believe it’s real. But kind of funny in a schadenfreude kind of way.
‘I don’t like you any more. Ha Ha, funny joke.’
‘No, I don’t like YOU!’
‘What?’
‘Ha Ha, funny joke.’
That’s not a joke and the wife is an arsehat. If someone I cared about pulled that stunt on me I’d be seriously reconsidering the relationship.
My partner would never do that to me, because he’d know very well how I’d react. Not at all funny.
In my case I’d be asking “oh, I see. Have you found out what do we need for the divorce?” as soon as he said “I’ve fallen in love with someone else”.
And then when he explained “uh, it was a prank” and depending on the case I’d either go and file for divorce or explain. Very. Clearly. That You Do Not Pull Shit Like This Again, because if you do I’m keeping the house, the car, the boa, the iguana and you’re keeping the dog*.
- Boas and iguanas don’t need to be walked.
Is she a mod?
Mod jokes require a certain finesse. Practice more.
Yes, you beat me to it. Take that bitch!! :mad:
