TikTok has exploded with a new format in which individuals are tricking their loved ones into thinking tragedy has struck.

The format entails taking a short video of oneself fiddling with electrical outlets, kitchen appliances, or pretty much anything flammable, cutting it short with a spliced, incredibly realistic fake explosion filter, and then sending it to family and recording their responses. Some of the reactions pranksters have gotten out of family members are pretty hilarious.
