Comedic Prank Video: Guy Tricks Mom with Fake Alien Invasion Announcement

A recent viral video on Reddit showcases a comedic prank where a man tricks his mom into believing that aliens have invaded Earth. The video, which has sparked numerous reactions online, portrays the mom's frantic response to a fake emergency broadcast announcing an alien invasion.

In the video, an oval-shaped object appears in major cities, triggering an emergency alert. The mom, visibly distressed, calls out to "Gordo," exclaiming, "There's something going on!" As the broadcast continues, she becomes increasingly agitated, mentioning the need for a plan and trying unsuccessfully to contact "Nani" and "Anthony."

Her panic reaches a peak when she realizes her phone isn't working. "Oh, they're saying aliens," she exclaims in disbelief. Throughout the ordeal, the mom's fear is palpable as she repeatedly calls out for "Gordy" and demands help. "Stop sitting on your b*** and help me!" she shouts, clearly overwhelmed by the situation.

The video captures a humorous yet intense moment when she struggles to read a map and questions whether Florida is in a danger zone. "Put on CNN!" she demands, feeling lightheaded and on the verge of tears. The prank takes a turn when she realizes that her son, Dominic, is laughing at her distress. "Why are you laughing, Dominic?" she asks, incredulously.

The Reddit community had varied reactions to the video. One user humorously commented, "The aliens heard her from space and went back home." Another user inquired, "WHERE WAS GORDO?!?!" drawing attention to the elusive Gordo mentioned in the video. Some users likened the mom's reaction to the famous Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" broadcast, with one noting, "Orson Welles lives on."

While many found the video amusing, there were concerns about the mom's health, especially when she mentioned feeling lightheaded. One commenter cautioned, "Funny right up till she says she is feeling too lightheaded," recalling a similar prank that led to a heart attack.

The video also drew comparisons to other media and pranks. One user reminisced about a fake news program on Fox, tied to the movie "Independence Day," that similarly tricked viewers into believing in an alien invasion. Another user likened the mom's voice to Gayle from "Bob's Burgers," adding to the comedic aspect of the situation.

Despite the mixed reactions, the video remains a testament to the lengths people will go for a good laugh, even at the risk of causing a scare. The mom's reaction, though intense, highlights the genuine fear such pranks can induce, reminding viewers to tread carefully when planning their next practical joke.
