Wannabe YouTube star is slapped in the face in prank gone wrong – as he’s slammed for ‘pathetic’ stunt
A wannabe internet star has been punched in the face by a woman's boyfriend in a prank that went horribly wrong when viewers branded the stunt as 'pathetic'.
Izanal, who posts prank videos on YouTube, streaming platform Kick and Instagram, decided to ask women who were clearly in relationships if they were “single.”
In the video, he approached a well-dressed couple in Melbourne's Federation Square and asked the woman if she is single, to which she replied “obviously not”.
“Oh damn, are you two together?” Izanal asks her partner.
“You look like a dick, so I'm just wondering, bro.”
Cuck is a slang word for a 'weak' man whose wife or partner is sexually unfaithful.
“What did you call me?” the man asked as he turned around.
'A cookie. Are you?' Izanal replied.
The man then punched the prankster in the face, who quickly retaliated by hitting him back.

As the couple walked away, Izanal continued to harass the man.
'You hit me? Come back, you little bastard. Why are you running away?' he says.
The woman is forced to stand between the two men as they face each other.
'Stop! Go away, go away,” she ordered the joker.
'Do you want to talk? Let's talk,” Izanal says as the couple tries to walk away.
He then tried to kick the man from behind and told him: 'Go away b****'.
Izanal's stunt was decried on Reddit, where many viewers renewed calls for new laws to prevent streamers from harassing people on the street for clicks and views.
A feature on Izanal's streaming page invites people to pay him to pull pranks.
“Ask me to do crazy things, I want to,” reads a message on the page.
However, many said the 'pathetic' stunt was not a prank but simply intimidation.
'How is that a joke? Insulting someone like that is just asking for a fight. The man seriously had some restraints on that motherfucker,” one person said.

“Say he's weighed the chances of that little bastard turning into a lunatic with a knife and let it be,” another wrote.
“Without knowing he's a weirdo, it's a sensible position to be in for filming.”
'People were having a nice night out and someone decided to be a total jerk. There really should be a law against it,” a third commented.
“How the fuck is it a joke to curse a stranger on the street?” I don't know what toothless idiot thinks this is the right term. Playing with fire perhaps?' said a fourth.
Izanal has only 31 followers on Instagram and 453 followers on Kick.
“Just a kiddo tryna make it,” reads a message in his Instagram bio.
His recent pranks include evacuating a movie theater, stealing a man's phone out of his hands on the street and “slapping a bald man in the neck for no reason.”
