However, the incident won't do much to help the credibility of his channel or other future prank videos. While the ruse seems to have been out of his hands, to an extent, it's commendable that Rober removed the offending footage and was forthcoming about what happened once he confirmed the deception.

An Imgur user suggested one of the so-called thieves lived next door to the acquaintance who borrowed the package, and the box was actually opened inside that acquaintance's home. It would be fun to have it count down after the glitter and fart spray and at zero start a big homebrew smoke bomb, and than let loose with fluorescent spray paint once the smoke got going real good. "That is totally on me and I will take all necessary steps to make sure it won't happen again."īefore Rober verified the footage wasn't genuine, some sharp-eyed folks had suspected something wasn't quite right.

Rober acknowledged the deception may have hurt his credibility and notes it's the first prank-style video he's shared in the seven years he's been running his YouTube channel.

I posted this as a comment response to my recent viral tweet/video but I'm posting it as a new tweet as well: /g2VHsQWh1z "I can vouch that the reactions were genuine when the package was taken from my house." "Ultimately, I am responsible for the content that goes on my channel and I should have done more here," he wrote in an apology tweet. As it turns out, that person recruited their own friends to pose as victims. Mark Rober cut around 90 seconds from the video and reuploaded it to remove a segment in which a friend of a friend borrowed the device. But it seems the clip, which racked up more than 42 million views in just a few days, was a little too good to be true - its creator admits parts of it were staged, seemingly without his knowledge. His impressive invention resulted in a hilarious video of would-be criminals being coated in glitter and having their nostrils assaulted with a fart spray. went viral in January 2015 as the first postal glitter bomb service to send envelopes filled with glitter to recipients. This week, it seemed the entire Internet rejoiced after a former NASA engineer created a custom glitter bomb designed to strike back against package thieves. Glitter bombs can be sent through the post, so that glitter falls from an envelope or is forcefully ejected from a larger, spring-loaded package when opened.
