You Kids Get On My Lawn!

Yelling out the window at strangers is classic teenager stuff, but see, these kids took that whole concept and turned it on its ear. It's a real paradigm shift in children yelling things from cars.

Luckily, his harsh, aggressive voice doesn't make him sound sarcastic at all. Just like how I don't sound sarcastic right now. This "prank" reminds me of that old Modern Humorist bit where they would crank call customer service operators and compliment them effusively for their hard work. The only difference is that the Modern Humorist guys went on to work as panelists for VH1's Best Week Ever, and the kids in this video went on to Taco Bell. Open Late!

This is awesome.

It reminds me of the bit Brian Posehn used to do about yelling unexpected things at people. Like seeing a blond, white woman and yelling "GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY!" or seeing a construction worker and yelling "NICE TITS!"
