Cruel prank: Dad makes mom think he launched toddler son over balcony

The video of a prank, which terrified one mother instead of making her laugh, is going viral with over 6,000,000 YouTube views in just a matter of days.

Comedian and father of two, Roman Atwood, set up the prank, where it appears he launches his toddler son, who is dressed in a Spider Man costume, over their indoor skywalk. He plays the trick on his wife, although as clearly seen in the video, she did not find it funny at all.

With hidden cameras recording, he pretends to wrestle with his son upstairs. When his wife returns home, he switches the boy out for a dummy while she goes downstairs to get them some water.

As she returns to the top of the stairs, Atwood ‘accidentally’ launches the dummy, also dressed as Spider Man, over the railing of the skywalk. His wife rushes back downstairs to where she thinks her son landed and pulls off the Spider Man mask, only to realize she had been tricked. As she quickly becomes irate toward her husband for playing the trick on her, a slew of curse words can be heard as she yells at him.

Watch the prank unfold in the video player above.
