Oliver Wilkins' FaceTime prank gets a threat to call police

The stranger-on-screen setup previously aimed at Dad gets a more protective response from Jon-Paul.

Pranking Our Brother With A Random Guy On FaceTime (Until It Goes Wrong)

A face on a computer monitor is enough to make Jon-Paul worry about the brother who should be calling him. In Oliver Wilkins' new Short, the pranksters point a phone at a stranger's photo, then wait for Jon-Paul to answer FaceTime.

The setup is deliberately fake: there is no stranger on the other end, just a picture held in front of the camera. But Jon-Paul starts asking where his little brother is, then whether someone has kidnapped him. The giggling behind the phone becomes harder to sustain when he threatens to call the police. The young caller hurriedly asks for the call to be switched off.

The Short reached roughly 80,000 views in eight hours, an unusually fast start for Wilkins. It also changes the target of a familiar setup: earlier this month, as we reported here, the channel posted a random-stranger FaceTime prank aimed at Dad.

This time, viewers are discussing Jon-Paul's concern for his brother, with some questioning why he was put through the joke at all.
