The holidays: a season of food, laughter, coming together...and pranking your family members. In a video that has gone viral on Tiktok, El (@prattylala) set up a sweet yet diabolical prank on her parents.

She faked a nice Christmas card from friends "Martha and Philip" to her parents.

Martha and Philip, you see, are made up. She even went as far as getting a coworker to write the message so the handwriting wouldn't be hers.

The results are hilarious, as dad opens the card and immediately stares at it befuddled and gets increasingly confused through the rest of the clip, at times recruiting mom to help his memory, at times getting distracted by bread, but still placing the card onto the card shelf nevertheless.

@prattylala

All the best, Martha and Phillip #fakechristmascard #merrychristmas #allthebest

This is a truly delightful prank and it will absolutely ruin dad's sleep schedule.

Lots of people responded to the dad's continued repetition of just saying "Martha and Philip" over and over again.

He gets sweetness points for putting the card on the display anyway.

If she hasn't spilled the beans, this prank could go on for other holidays.

Dad is still perplexed, but it speaks to the spirit of the holiday that he put the card up anyway.

No word yet on whether we can expect more cards from Philip and Martha in the future though.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

Woman Speaks Out After Prison Sentence To Reveal What Led Her To Hurl Black Paint At Sister-In-Law On Her Wedding Day

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
