A TikToker found himself messing with the wrong guy when he pulled a prank on an unsuspecting stranger and wound up being wrestled to the ground.
Such stunts backfiring like this are an example of the risks involved whenever a prankster tries to elicit a bewildered reaction for the sake of giggles, but that was a chance a TikToker named Jay was willing to take.
His TikTok channel has over 23 million followers and features various pranks, including him running into people's shopping carts and touching other people's food in a mall food court.
For his next prank, he used a large white PVC pipe to use as a megaphone to alarm his next victim.
The stunt is a recurring scare tactic on his channel which involves yelling the word, "muñañyo"–a variant of the word Muñeño that means "Big Mexican C*ck," according to Urban Dictionary.
This time, however, it epically failed.

The tables turned quickly when the guy immediately turned around, picked Jay up and threw him to the ground.
While he was pinned to the floor, Jay yelled out, "it's just a joke" as the unamused customer yelled, "ain't no joke. Don't f'k with me, bro. Don't f'k with me!"
A clip of the TikTok stunt shared by the Twitter account, Out of Context Human, was viewed over 5.9 million times.
Many people didn't understand the humor and said the jokester got off lucky.

A number of users mentioned the guy who put him in a chokehold could have suffered from PTSD.
That guy could have PTSD who knows. Basically don\u2019t mess with others it may be a joke but obviously this guy didn\u2019t think it was funny.— Authorofbible (@Authorofbible) 1647690012
Think of it this way, what if that guy had PTSD or some mental health issue that would put himself, the prankster or another in serious danger, kids think they can do this with no punishment, welcome to the world son— chris o\u2019rafferty (@chris o\u2019rafferty) 1648113361

It is natural reaction from someone was under attack. Next time he should think twice to make that type of jokes— doctor.ratizon (@doctor.ratizon) 1648090136
Some people were impressed and thought the man's intense physical response was unnecessary.
If I was victim to such a 'prank' it could ruin me for a month\nThe way I see it the man is a hero— Hana Thorn (@Hana Thorn) 1648031625
why do people think acting so aggressively is fine guy was acting like his ego was bruised lol I\u2019d find this funny & laugh it off with the guy having a sense of humour & being chill helps I guess— Danny (@Danny) 1647710619
Some viewers were skeptical over the video's authenticity and that of others on his channel.
It looks so much like its all a set up.i mean pre planned.look the way he turned.and for this guy who is a tik toker for him anything goes for a view or likes.— Trickyboy (@Trickyboy) 1648015186
Staged - why has the guy not reacted to be being touched with the tube before hearing the noise?— Cainy (@Cainy) 1647687109
It\u2019s fake— Lukeberto Shaw (@Lukeberto Shaw) 1647678982
Whether it was staged or not, the outcome is an adequate example of what could go wrong if you sneak up on someone who doesn't share your brand of humor.
