Unwanted Present Prank Videos

This Bad Santa Prank Involves Giving Out Bad Presents on the Street

Here's a bad santa prank that fits perfectly as a tribute to the 2003 movie starring Billy Bob Thorton as a miserable thief who poses as Santa Clause every year in order to rob mall safes.

This bad Santa prank comes from Prankk Bros and is shot by a single camera across the street as a man dressed as Santa Clause stops random pedestrians and offers them a gift.

Some pedestrians offered a gift accept willingly and act as if they've just hit the jackpot. Others look at the Santa with skepticism and one young man even asks, "Am I going to regret this?"

The kicker of this bad Santa prank is that Santa is actually giving each person really bad gifts they would never want.
