# Meteorological Elevator Pranks The Elevator Weatherman Does the Weather Forecast for Strangers By Alyson Wyers | Published 2013-08-11 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevator-weatherman References: [likecool](http://www.likecool.com/Elevator_Weatherman_Prank--Video--Gear.html) If you're into messing with people in elevators, this elevator weatherman prank is for you. The video begins when the pranker makes weather-related small talk and then launches into a full weather forecast, complete with a pull down map of the Florida region. Generally people react in surprise and attempt to get off the elevator early. One blurry man in particular reacted very strongly and became visibly and verbally angry with the elevator weatherman. The end of the prank varies. In many instances, the pranker ends the forecast abruptly and stands silently with his arms folded. He appears to be making the forecast to an invisible camera, but also addresses his fellow elevator riders. When he suddenly stops the presentation, an awkward silence follows. In another instance he throws to his other elevator passenger asking him to do the sports. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Pranks](https://www.trendhunter.com/pranks) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized Pranks:** Opportunity for creating customized pranks based on individual interests or preferences. - **Interactive Elevator Experiences:** Potential to transform elevators into entertaining and interactive spaces. - **Unexpected Entertainment:** Opportunity to surprise and delight people with unexpected forms of entertainment in everyday situations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Marketing and Advertising:** Utilizing personalized pranks as a unique marketing strategy to engage and attract customers. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Enhancing the elevator experience in hotels or tourist attractions to create memorable moments for guests. - **Media and Entertainment:** Exploring new ways to entertain and engage audiences through unconventional forms of entertainment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Weather Forecasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brzzy.md) - [Spooky Simulated Elevator Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boo-elevator.md) - [Entertaining Weather Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brzzy-weather.md) - [Gamified Weather Visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mineweather.md) - [Immersive Elevator Holiday Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enchanted-elevator.md) - [Ambient Weather Visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weather-screen.md) - [Stylish Mechanical Weather Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skymill.md) - [Anxiety-Alleviating Election Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/election-escape.md) - [Musical Weather Forecast Playlists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skytunes.md)
