A couple decided to prank the boyfriend's family and the result was surprising.
In a healthy relationship, respect and kindness are expected, but one TikTok couple decided to put that expectation to the test—with a prank. Janae Skye, known as @janaeskye._, shared a video of her and her boyfriend, Keith, pulling a lighthearted stunt on his family. The setup? Keith would act rudely toward Skye in front of his relatives to see how they would react.
The family was gathered around the kitchen island, casually snacking and enjoying their drinks in peace, when Keith began his planned outburst. The couple staged an argument over takeout that Skye had bought for everyone—except him. When Keith came downstairs and asked where his food was, Skye explained that she didn’t get him anything because he was sleeping. “Are you for real?” Keith responded, pretending to be annoyed.
His mom, however, was not having it. She immediately shut him down, telling him to get his own food instead of expecting his girlfriend to cater to him. But Keith pushed further, asking, “What’s the point of having a girlfriend if she can’t get me food?” His family's reaction was exactly what Skye had hoped for—they defended her, making it clear that respect in a relationship goes both ways.
Keith's brother reacts to his distasteful words, scrunching his face at him. His mom starts defending Skye once again and reminds him that his girlfriend is not his slave. His mom tells him brashly to take his car and leave because the situation is getting heated and matters are escalating. That's when his father decides to step in and warns him that "it's enough." "I am not doing enough," Keith raises his voice once again. Then he proceeds to snatch the food Skye was eating and orders her to grab him some food again.
Keith objects that it's not right how everybody is eating and he isn't and his girlfriend should fetch him some food immediately. The argument continues to get worse and Keith finally decides to drop an expletive at his girlfriend. Unsurprisingly, Keith's mom, who was protecting Skye throughout the argument, had enough. "Who are you talking to?" Keith's mom exclaims. The video has gained 12 million views so far.
TikTok viewers dropped comments on the video to express their thoughts and appreciate Keith's family's support for Skye. @ciarab_2 noted, "Dad put his drink down so fast. I love families that check their children." @sowanb joked, "The way your brother looked at you. I love how your parents (and the whole family) stuck up for your girlfriend." @stay.potent quipped, "The way his mom draped him up after he cussed made me cry."
@bigbangcreator commented, "This guy was flirtin' with disaster the whole time!" @brandnudesigns added, "The daddy forgot he was his son and threw that drink down like the girl was his daughter. He was ready!" @bdizzy wrote, "Everybody's reaction was so different and all in a good way." @lolikadosh encouraged, "Girl, better keep this man and marry him for real. Even if you stop loving him, just do it for the in-laws." @222thurlki remarked, "Between the baby spinning in that chair and him yelling, I don't know what stressed me out more."
