'Celebrity Death Prank': People are pranking their boomer parents by telling them their favorite celeb passed, hilarious and dramatic reactions ensue

To all the boomer parents out there, we are truly sorry… But it's SO funny. Oh god, are we bad people? Listen, we are adults now, young and old, and we appreciate you. You raised us, you took care of us, sure we have a lot of trauma from it, but overall, you did a good job! You're only human. And now here we are, pulling this mean prank on all you boomer parents out there and we just can't stop. There are so many layers to this prank. First and the most obvious, the parents' reaction. So dramatic! If you tell them their favorite surviving Beatle has just passed, they are going to LOSE it. It's so mean, but so funny. It's just a split second of torture, because it's an easy Google-able thing and these parents might be boomers, but they know how to use Google. And if they don't, the kids are telling them the truth just a few minutes after. 

 

The second funniest part of this is learning what celebrities are the most important to these boomers. We had no idea that Tiger Woods was still a popular person… Elton John and Paul McCartney make sense, but we had no idea so many parents were THAT obsessed with Snoop Dogg! Like, yeah, we would be bummed too if we lost our D O Double G. Check out the compilation videos of some of the best reactions to this evil evil (but hilarious) prank. Again, we are SO sorry mom and dad…
