To think this isn't funny?

Man Pretends to Propose to Girlfriend

Or am I lacking a sense of humour? I just think it's a bit cruel really. Loads of people seem to see the funny side though.

I thought it was a bit distasteful but funny tbh. Its something my partner would do and id kill him but laugh eventually

That is a horrible and cruel thing to do to someone you are meant to love.

ChristmasZombie · 15/02/2016 17:07

I think it's mean.

Avpixie27 · 15/02/2016 17:12

People do it all the time. Its not like hes proposed and then said "only joking" he says clearly he loves her and stuff then said "will you make me a cuppa?"

imwithspud · 15/02/2016 17:14

I think if my dp did this to me I could possibly see the funny side eventually... I'd definitely not be okay with him putting it online so everyone else could laugh at my expense.

I think that's what doesn't sit right with me, the fact that it's been put online for her to be made into a public laughing stock.

He is a disrespectful wanker who clearly hasn't paused for a second to consider her feelings. In MN parlance, he's told her who he is: hopefully she'll listen.

Looks like a set up. Who wears that kind of outfit? She looks like a model cast by the newspaper.

LineyReborn · 15/02/2016 18:35

I assumed it was a fake, ie a set-up.

Avpixie27 · 15/02/2016 19:22

I dont see why people are ranting about it, its a prank. Theres worse videos out there about cheaters and pranks gone bad. This guy asked his gf to make him a cuppa on one knee. Its just a joke. If this was a girl fake proposing no one would care

LineyReborn · 15/02/2016 19:23

Do you think the girlfriend was in on it?

Buzzardbird · 15/02/2016 19:27

When she is sat on the sofa at the beginning and he is holding the ring box, she would have been able to see the ring box with her peripheral vision. Also if she wasn't in on it I don't think she would have allowed him to post it on-line? Could be wrong.

expatinscotland · 15/02/2016 19:34

I assumed it was fake.

imwithspud · 15/02/2016 22:54

I dunno Buzzard I have often completely ignored/missed dp doing something whilst I'm sitting right next to him if there's something I'm engrossed in on the tv or mn and vice versa.

I guess it could be a fake though, who knows.

This guy pranks his girlfriend all the time. Dozens of videos of the pair of them

I don't believe a word

Monty27 · 15/02/2016 23:50

I haven't opened the link, I'm assuming its the one on facebook where he brings her a box with a teabag in it?

(I thinks she wearing a short woolly onesie)

Well you would just go and pack your bags if it was real life. Wouldn't you??? Confused

TendonQueen · 15/02/2016 23:52

If it's real, he's a tosser and she's an idiot for putting up with him. If it's a faked prank, they both need to get lives or proper jobs or something, as do the people who find it hilarious.

passmethewineplease · 16/02/2016 00:19

They have their own Facebook thing going on...

Facebook brads dad. Hmm

He basically takes the piss out of her then uploads it for everyone to do the same.

passmethewineplease · 16/02/2016 00:20

She doesn't seem to be overly bothered by it. I think they prank eachother though tbf haven't seen many of her doing the pranking.

She said she knows she dumb and doesn't care, I think she's smarter than she lets on.

MyKingdomForBrie · 16/02/2016 00:25

That's vile.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 16/02/2016 00:26

I don't think it's a bit funny. Not only is it cruel, but it's also public humiliation.
I'm afraid that would be it for me
