A pilot faked passing out, mid-flight. This is probably be the worst thing you could do to another human being for the sake of comedy. Totally worth it.

WATCH:

Judging by the date of the YouTube video, this may be somewhat old. But as well know, messing with people and convincing them that they're about to plummet to their death never goes out of style. (via Buzzfeed)

if you only knew the amount of cursing this guy did - hahaha! soooo funny (but totally fake too).

[Madmac]

It's funny but somebody is getting a MAJOR beatdown when we land

[Gregor53]

NOT FUNNY.

[JaxReader]

Fake or not, thats just a horribly funny thing to imagine.

[cybersense]

still laughing.

[floorvan]

fake. but funny. haha

[Eddy333]

Faaaaaaake

[iRock]

I would totally kill him when we landed.

That is so cruel... and funny.

[KIVPossum]

So faked it's pitiful. The guy is screaming, patting him on the shoulder, yet able to hold the camera steady to film it.

[iRock]

good point about holding the camera steady.

but it's possible he thought, "maybe if i make it out of this alive, I can have a video of my near death experience."

it's possible. this is the youtube age.

[LiberalFromDenver]

A steady camera? You need to watch that again, my friend. He may have been moving the camera to get a better look at the cockpit (and the path of the plane), but that camera was not steady.

[Craig Manske]

I think if he did that to the wrong person, he might spend some time in prison.

[NikkiDove]

I think that guy knows my old skydiving instructor. He used to show us an old drogue from a parachute and ask us "Is this suppose to come off?". We were sitting in the plane a few minutes before we jumped... A bit unsettling for a first time jump, I'd say.

[DrJohnnySkeptic]

That's mean.

[parlimentMike]

That's very useful. I imagined it with lots of different ethnic and regional accents, and I thought "dumb _____" with every one. Another vote for fake, who was doing the filming?

[Calexica]

Obviously it is from the screaming person. but I thought it was odd that he kept viewing him through the camera, at least, he kept the pilot in the frame quite well. I imagine most people would instinctively disregard the camera when they realized their life was in jeopardy. But what do I know, I may be overthinking it.

[my2pesos]

LOL!!!!
poor dude, screming for his life!

[bwright85]

LMAO! Me and my co-worker are dying right now...I would beat that guy's a*** when we landed!

[cybersense]

I know, it sounds so bad, but I am laughing so hard.
