WATCH: YouTuber Sam Pepper Sparks Outrage After ‘Murdering’ Man’s Best Friend As A ‘Prank’

Sam Pepper has been a controversial character having found fame as a YouTuber following a brief stint on Big Brother a few years back.

However, his latest ‘prank’ definitely crosses a line, with Sam posting a video of a Vine sensation he’d met just once before, Sam Golbach, being tricked into thinking that his best friend, Colby Brock, had been murdered.

It’s literally one of the least funny pranks in history.

The video starts with Sam revealing that Colby was in on the ‘joke’, saying of Sam Golbach: “Let’s see how he reacts to his best friend of five years getting killed in front of him.”

SPOILER: Not very well.

The drama kicks off when Sam G gets ‘kidnapped’ and bundled into the back of a car with a mask over his head, when the mask is pulled off he is tied to a chair whilst Colby is on his knees next to him, still masked.

Another man aims a gun at Sam G before shooting Colby in the head, with the Vine star immediately falling to the floor, presumably dead.

Understandably, Sam G goes absolutely hysterical as he sobs and screams out in a mixture of fear and grief.

After a good few minutes of the unsuspecting prank victim crying, ‘dead’ Colby stands up and tries to calm Sam G down in what is some truly emotional viewing.

At the end of the video, Sam Pepper is joined by the two men as they talk to the camera, with Sam later sharing a Tweet from the other Sam to insist that he was absolutely fine following the horrific prank, but that doesn’t mean that viewers aren’t absolutely outraged.

Taking to their own social media accounts after viewing the five-minute clip, many slammed Sam Pepper for causing such unnecessary emotional turmoil to Sam G, blasting his latest stunt as completely unacceptable:

Last year Sam Pepper came under fire after he was accused of sexually harassing women by using a fake hand to grope them in yet another ‘prank’ YouTube video.
