Ad prank challenge   (+4, -1)  [vote for, against]
Pranks as advertisements especially the skip button

Hi! Welcome to the Ad Prank Challenge.

1a. You can press the SKIP button at any time. But it won't be easy... Try it now!

1b. The Skip Ad Button skips around here and there on the screen always avoiding your mouse in the last minute, and mocks you: Ha Ha, you thought you would skip me! Huh?!

2. You can press the SKIP button at any time. But then you lose the $100 we send you for just watching this video! All yo (this is where the video stops as if its stuck)

3.... The challenge is on.

I had a ‘program’ in the early Mac days in which you could never actually catch the ‘Enter’ button, which would tear around the screen just in front of the cursor. It was something that you could load onto a desktop and definitely prank them. It would kick in on a timer. You had to do a hard restart to recover, upon which time you could disable the Enter button effects with the control panel if you knew the trick.

Unfortunately there were no prizes or perks, just muffled hilarity for a few moments.
