* Done for comedy in an episode of [[MASH]]. BJ bets the gang that he can get every one of them with an epic prank inside of a week, which he does, except for Hawkeye, who thinks he has foiled him by sleeping outside in a bathtub surrounded by barbed wire and jumping at every sound. In the morning, BJ informs him that "The greatest joke . . . was the joke that never came."

Not the case of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM7Q1WiepoQ its predecessor]: the voice is replaced by a screeching static sound, and nothing actually happens in the video; no [[Take That]]s at politicians or corporations, no spanking, just a man in a [[Uncanny Valley|creepy mask]] bopping his head around. In addition, the delay between the interruption of the news show and the actual video makes it all the more shocking. Needless to say, it comes as surprisingly as a [[Screamer Prank|screamer]].
