As many parts of the world impose lockdowns to slow the spread of the coronavirus, people are finding unique ways to amuse themselves. An old prank of wearing a hoodie back to front got a hilarious twist when it failed spectacularly, and the video is now being widely shared on social media.

In the prank, a person is required to wear a hoodie back to front and stand in front of an open fridge. The idea is to trick someone into pulling down the hood and then surprise them.

But in this case, the prank didn’t go as planned:
