Never Prank a Sleeping Marine 😂

The sleeping soldier gets only a brief warning: something is moving on his chest. A comrade has placed a camel spider there, and when it drops between his legs, he jolts upright and swats at the ground. Then he lies straight back down.

That return to resting is the punchline of "Never Prank a Sleeping Marine 😂," posted by the military-clips channel War Veterans. Six days after its upload, the Short has reached about 605,000 views, with its daily viewing pace more than ten times its usual.

There is no spoken exchange, just music, sound effects and captions assigning parts to the two Marines and the spider. The description credits @ben_dovers; War Veterans is sharing the clip, not presenting itself as the crew that filmed it.

In the comments, viewers reverse the premise: perhaps the spider was the one being pranked. Others focus on the soldier's swift return to sleep, comparing the interruption to family members trying to wake them up.
