In what may be the least funny dad joke in history, a UK father is getting backlash online for tricking his family into thinking Russia launched a nuclear bomb. The New York Post reported this morning that a man convinced his family that they were going to die because of the invasion of Ukraine.
It went well. The father told the news service SWNS that he was beyond expectations.
His brother posted a two-minute clip of a prank that shows the family watching a fake nuclear bomb alert on TV. It looks like a real news segment with a red background. The man claps a hand over her mouth in the clip. A young child playing in pajamas tries to get his soon-to-be-step mother's attention with a pillow, but can't distract her from her fear.
Some people felt the joke was inconsiderate to their own loved ones, and they were the first to give their thoughts on the prank.
My family in Ukraine would find this funny because their home has been destroyed, their small children have no home and friends have been found dead. One user said to get a grip.
Yeah because my family in Ukraine would find this hilarious right now while their home has been obliterated, their small children now have no home and friends/colleagues have been found dead. Get a grip.

The man took the joke in stride after initially being upset.
She told SWNS that he was lucky to still be alive. I keep laughing at myself and have watched it over and over. I will try and get him back with a prank, but I don't think he can top World War Three.
Let's hope the couple's ongoing prank war doesn't start a real global conflict.
The authorities are angry that Russia attacked a nuclear plant.
