Video of the Day: Yankee Stadium Proposal Prank
Isn't it sweet (or cliché) when you go to a baseball game and the jumbotron flashes a marriage proposal? It's such a nice personal event that the couple is sharing with thousands of other people. While we secretly hope that someone says no, this prank proposal at Yankee Stadium takes things to a whole new level. Some background: two College Humor guys have been engaged in a "Prank War" starting earlier this year. The cruelness of the pranks has escalated as they continue and this one might be the meanest one.
Amir (the prankster) finds out that his friend Streeter (the prankee) is going to Mariners-Yankees game with his girlfriend. He buys a jumbotron marriage proposal and tickets nearby to capture Streeter and his girlfriend's reaction. The results are hilarious, yet so, so wrong.
UPDATE: Deadspin talked to Amir (prankster) about the prank. Streeter is still together with his girlfriend.

meh. . . not that funny and poorly edited to boot. What prompted the slap? A normal couple would have recognized the prank and had a laugh.
Amazing!
That is TERRIBLE! I expect to see a video of Amir bound, gagged, covered in honey and put in a room with some rats.
well......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................that just made my day!
Must be nice to have $500 to blow on buying some contrived internet fame. I have to say this is among lamest posts I've ever seen on this otherwise awesome sight -- for shame :(
:lal:
bla bla bla
CUT TO THE CHASE and enough will the self amused chit chat.
It was a big burn and it worked. Good for him.
gah, who is Amir screwing over at gothamist? lame. I want my 500 bucks for watching this crap.
the reaction seems a little over the top for this to be real but actually i think the editing is OK, if you like this kind of prank stuff it isn't bad just a little long
funny enough!
best ... prank ..... ever!!!
oh come on people, lighten up, it's funny (and mean).
That was great.
that was definitely a good one.
must be a guy thing because it was pretty pretty funny.
The jokes on you. It was all staged.
I loved it.
how is that a joke on us? we enjoyed it, it was funny, it made us laugh for a bit during a hectic day.
so what, it was staged?
Staged or not, it made me laugh. Great comedy.
So clearly FAKE
how is it a joke on us again? We're not the one spending $500 plus for a prank.
If that's real, that was a great prank. But I have a feeling it was staged. I looked like the couple was acting.
I find it fascinating that closeted gay men inevitably fall in love with their straight friends and then try to break them up. Not funny, but fascinating.
If that was real, thats some cold blooded shit. If it was staged, meh.
Isn't there anything else New York centric we could be talking about righ tnow.
Come on, that's totally staged.
old and totally staged.
i was into it until the slap. shit like that doesn't happen in real life!
the other prank war segments are good though
jews with money.
idiots (#29) with stupid posts.
Hilarious. The prank wars will definitely end with a death
semites (#30) with internet. Happy Jew Year!
stupid, everyone at vimeo at college humor are faggots.
also this was all staged. duh.
sort of dumb -- nothing worse than a dot-com cashed up brainy self-professed funny guy getting his kicks.
I'll pay $500 out of my modest savings to first person posting video of streeter clocking that dweeb.
I'll dub in the self-satisfied play-by-play later.
ha!
no way #35 - smart rich people rule!
If that was real I would be more than happy to help get that kid back. He seems like a douchebag.
