Q: If someone here got punk'd would they take it too seriously?

You've seen that show Punk'd with Ashton Kuscher? I was wondering if they did something like that here if they would take it too seriously and just go ballistic or could they play it out. 

Here are a few examples of what happened on punk'd: They took Justin Bieber's vehicle and he thought the real cops ticketed him. Could they do that here without someone just completely going ape $hit on somebody?

I vote ballistic - I can't see many people taking the epic loss of face too well.

Scandinavian:

I agree, but at the same time wonder if it is possible to lose face based on a prank. I mean that is like an actor playing a role where he gets a bucket of water thrown at him, will also lose face in real life for that.

Not as long as everyone clearly understands he's an actor. In pranks, that's not the case.

GR, yup I'd love it, they perform the prank and I start to go Rambo on them, someone jumps out and says "Hey, joke, haha!"

I say "No shit?" and continue to hospitalise his sorry ass. devil

They'd probably have a delayed response of fainting (after they figured out wtf was going on), then ask for compensation for emotional distress.

I think the idea of being punked out is a prison concept where intimidation and physical strength play a huge role in the prison system. Most normal people would try to avoid a fight.

I've thought about this as well while watching prank shows on american tv or on youtube.

 

No, I don't think most Chinese people could handle it.  I feel like a lot of Chinese people can't even handle regular jokes that poke fun at them.
