Fake Shutting Door Prank

[ TREND ][ PRANK ][ SOCIAL MEDIA ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Prank FormatsCLUSTER: prank_format

A short prank video format in which someone pretends to shut a door, for example by miming or sound-faking the closing, so that a person nearby reacts as if it had really closed. It is a close relative of the closing-the-door prank, where the door is pretended shut on a friend who is hurrying toward it.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""The fake shutting door prank got a flinch out of him before the reveal.""
