Totally Owned
1) Tower of Pisa
This man spent the better part of two weekends painstakingly building a replica of the leaning tower of Pisa out of lincoln logs. At the crowning moment of his achievement, a media reporter came by to interview the creator of the tower. During the interviewer, it was revealed that the Guiness Book of World Records would be there within days to evaluate the tower. But what happened next can only be summed up in one word: pwned! As the reporter circled the tower to get a better look, the cord from his microphone swept the base of it and caused the entire structure to collapse to the floor. The last thing viewers hear is the creator of the tower gasping in horror and storming off in disgust.
2) iPhones
This woman thought she had outsmarted the marketplace. While all the suckers patiently waited in line on the day the iPhone launched, she devised a seemingly fool-proof scheme to buy up the entire store’s stock of iPhones and resell them on eBay for obscene profits. Her strategy? Buy off the person at the front of the line. From there, she reasoned, she would simply barge into the store and buy up all the iPhones before the other customers knew what hit them. Ultimately, she paid close to $1,000 for that first spot in line. But when the store opened its doors, she was pwned to epic proportions! As it turned out, store policy limited each customer to buying a single iPhone in order to ensure that everyone could buy one. Furthermore, the kid who sold “his” spot at the front of the line was actually with three other people who let him get right back in, and of those three people, only two of them were buying iPhones. pwned!
3) E-mail Prank
This young boy was just using his computer and minding his own business when one of those spooky face e-mail pranks came along and burst his bubble! A minute or so later, the video cuts to a woman in her office who gets so scared by the same prank that she falls out of her chair onto the floor! Finally, the video ends with a man listening through his headphones and being so frightened that he, too, lurches back from his chair and falls onto the floor. I think it’s safe to say that this prank pwned all three of ‘em!
4) Autopsy
This doctor thought he was giving a standard, run-of-the-mill instructional on how to perform an autopsy. Unfortunately, the man on the table had other plans! As it turned out, the man lying on the operating gurney was alive, and all it took was a lift of his arm to send the doctor running away in fear! The whole thing was orchestrated by the doctor’s workplace pals, who apparently decided that they had gone long enough without pwning their co-workers!
5) Telemarketers
Everybody knows how annoying it is to get unsolicited telemarketer calls, but most of us just deal with it. The man in this video, however, takes a much different approach. When telemarketers call, he impersonates a police officer at a murder scene and tells the telemarketer that he is now under investigation just for calling the residence! To take the pwnage even further, the “officer” informs the telemarkter that “unless you wanna be charged with obstruction of justice it’s imperative that you keep your ass on the phone.” We’re pretty sure that telemarketers avoided this phone number once that story made the rounds!
6) Porta Potties
Not many of us enjoy using porta potties under normal circumstances, but the patrons in this video had their experience made even more awkward! While they were doing their business, a group of men in suits placed a portable building in front of the porta potty door. This way, instead of the person walking out from the potty into the outdoors, they walked into what looked like an office building where a bunch of executives in suits were sitting at a table discussing business. The confused, disoriented, and utterly pwned bathroom users didn’t even know what hit ‘em!
7) Fake water bed
Not many stores set out to pwn their customers, but one store in Germany did just that! The store’s employees set up a fake waterbed, which in all actuality as just a bedframe with water in it and a piece of plywood covering it up. Then, when customers came in to “test” the waterbed, they fell straight through the flimsy plywood and got completely soaked by the water underneath! Naturally, the store’s employees caught all the pwnage on tape for all the world to see!
Skunks in the park
They say that there’s nothing better than a relaxing afternoon in the park, but one mischevious man put an end to that with some major pwnage! Armed with a stuffed animal skunk at the end of a long rod, the man would silently creep up behind park benches and push the skunk beneath the feet of anyone sitting there. All the while, another person filmed from afar as the people sitting on the bench freaked out and leapt to their feet in horror.
9) Blood in the showers
Public showers are awkward enough by themselves, but one swimming facility decided to make things that much worse. Hidden cameras in the showers filmed the screaming patrons flail and run away as blood-like liquid poured down from the shower faucets. When the horrified children ran out of the showers, they were greeted by fits of laughter and applause from the pranksters responsible for the pwnage. (Don’t worry - everyone wore bathing suits!)
10) Shop-At-Home
Life as a shop-at-home host can get pretty boring, hawking the same old products night after night. One way to break up the monotony is to have callers dial in and ask questions about the product. That’s all well and good: until one man called up a live broadcast about a Dell computer deal and answered “Porno!” when the host asked the caller what he used his computer for. While the show hosts and audience probably got a good laugh out of it, it’s safe to say that the advertisers weren’t happy with the pwnage!
11) Seat of the pants
From the world of hidden camera pranks comes some more “relaxing day in the park” pwnage. One man was unfortunate enough to sit on top of double-sided masking tape that ripped the seat of his pants when he stood up. For the rest of the day, a hidden camera followed him around as passers by laughed at his exposed posterior. The duped man had no clue why people were laughing at him and never caught on to the pwnage that had been perpetrated on him. Classic!
12) Coke bomb
After a long, hard day, what’s better than coming home to an ice cold glass of soda? Nothing, right? Well that’s what the man in this video had in mind before he was pwned by one of his buddies. Little did he know that the 2 liter of Coke he opened was filled earlier that day with mentos that caused the soda to spray violently and uncontrollably in all directions. The pwned man can be heard screaming in outrage as his buddies laugh it up. Luckily for all you wanna-be pranksters, the creator of the video films the exact steps he took to carry out the exploding Coke pwnage you see. Just be careful next time you grab that bottle of soda!
