That’s why KZbinrs have to stage public pranks, with paid actors or they’ll get in trouble for harassment or worse like Sam Pepper. The only pranks that are acceptable are on your friends. Better to stage a prank and follow the law rather than prank some helpless victim and get in trouble with the law.

Of course it's subjective, but I find pranks to be generally wrong if they hurt physically or psychically another being. Even if temporary, effect of being victim might show up later. As most pranks are about making fun of other people or animals in bully fashion, I dislike this genre. Childish, entitled, dangerous, antisocial. Fuck em. BUT if I'd know for sure they are actors, it wouldn't be less funny, but morally watchable.

Man I was a huge fan in my teens, it was the only prank TV show I enjoyed and I never enjoyed KZbin pranks. I watched the British and American ones. It doesn't surprise me to hear it's fake though. At least their "pranks" weren't extremely harmful to people and they didn't harass their "victims" the way these KZbinrs do. And them genuinely being friends made for an entertaining dynamic to watch, something that prank KZbinrs didn't have. Edit: I took a quick look into it and it's not completely staged. Some clever editing which teenage me already knew was a thing and the punishments are obviously planned but not everything they do is staged. Besides, they only unblur faces of people they interact with and even then not all of them so if you know anything about the process of filming shows or movies, then it's obvious that after the prank, the production team is going to those people, explaining what's happening and asking for their consent to show their face on TV. Even the cast of a show or movie sign these consent forms, at least that's how it works in my country.
