Pranked or Provoked?

The Human Behavior Podcast

Send us a Text Message.

Today we are talking about some of the different type of prank videos that you often see on social media including a recent one in Virginia where a youtuber was shot by someone who he was trying to prank. Although these types of prank shows are very popular and have been around for a long time, things don’t always go as planned.

During the show we explain the different autonomic reactions that can occur during these situations, and we get into the nuances of each example and how they elicit different reactions from the subject involved in the prank. We also get into several related topics like false and forced socialization, how the lack of awareness plays into these shows, and the role of our amygdalae plays in processing ALL of the information we consume.

Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcast, please share it with your friends. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the show!
