Viral video: People fall, run as a ‘T Rex’ charges at them in this prank

Some of the people turn and run, others fall and general hilarity ensues as the person wearing the inflatable dinosaur costume emerges. In one case, a man falls to the ground after spilling his lunch, and as the ‘dinosaur’ inches closer, he tries to fight it off with an umbrella.

I’ve been laughing for 10 mins straight😭 pic.twitter.com/YWLypWrlLe

The video was first shared on TikTok and Instagram by the prankster, but it later went viral on Twitter with over 20 million views. While many said that the video was hilarious, some extended their sympathies to those who fell. Many people admitted they might have reacted the same way.

It’s a real good one.

Did he make a final attempt to remove his umbrella like a sword before lying down to accept his fate? 🤣

Crazy how many people are scared of an extinct animal that clearly has human legs

So funny people actually suspend reality for a minute and believe there’s a GD t-Rex coming at them 🤣

These people apparently don’t remember that dinosaurs no longer walk the earth. 😂😂

Just super impressed that the man in the wheelchair did this 180 degree turn and was off in less than a second while all the abled folks more or less tripped or played possum.
