大象传媒 Trending: Don鈥檛 Punch Me! It鈥檚 A Prank
From tickling beards to terrifying the public, the comedy prank continues to go viral online. 大象传媒 Trending is at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe asking: is it even funny anymore?
Over the past year online pranks have continued to spiral and go viral. Pranksters like Vitaly, Joey Salads, FouseyTube and Prank vs Prank get billions of views but some of the videos have been pushing the boundaries and causing controversy. Punches have been pulled, slaps dealt out, and the authorities have stepped in. Is all fair in love, war and pranking? Or are the boundaries of funny bound to be broken?
Mukul Devichand is joined at the Edinburgh Festival by three obliging comedians; wind-up critic Nish Kumar, cheeky prank lover Kai Humphries and hoax sceptic Anna Morris
With interviews and clips from Vitaly, and the Etayyim Brothers
Produced by India Rakusen.
