Woman pranks husband in front of his entire family leaving everyone laughing on floor

We usually call the people close to us by their nicknames and rarely resort to using their full names. But if a loved one does end up using a full name, that usually means trouble. Courtney Quist (@thequistfamily) decided to pull an absolutely hilarious prank on her husband, making use of his full name. The video captioned "The fam knew," has gained 45.8 million views and 23.2K comments on TikTok. The text overlay reads, "Saying my husband's full name in front of the entire family." 

At the start of the video, Courtney goes into the living room, where we can see the entire family in conversation. She exclaims, "Alex Micheal Quist," and her husband immediately looks up, his face brimming with concern. His family members waste no time and immediately get up to leave the room, sensing that something has gone horribly wrong. Alex continues to look at her, probably wondering what he did wrong. 

The husband finally gets up and inquires, "What? In front of my family?" Upon hearing this, the wife casually replies, "I just wanted to tell you that I love you." Alex is clearly relieved to hear this and responds, "Oh my gosh, I love you too." People loved the family's reaction and shared their thoughts about it in the comments section. @tinashimp commented, "They gave y'all privacy, but you know they're probably right outside the room listening." 

Another individual, @djthr33d, hilariously pointed out, "Dad knew. He's heard his name said exactly like that before. And his trauma set in. Fight or flight and he chose flight." @ralonnetaph said, "The dad half flinching and instantly getting up once he registered what he heard like he has the experience to dodge the situation before anyone else." @causticallygodsent commented, "I actually love that they respected your feelings if you were upset and left the room." 

Having a prankster as your life partner can lead to a lot of amusing incidents. Jehiely Mora Veragara and her husband Alex have a TikTok page that documents all of the wife's creative pranks on her husband. One of them involved Vergara putting dark blue paint on herself to blend in with the curtains in her husband's video game room. The video begins with a text overlay that reads, "Blending into the curtains to see if my husband notices." 

She does a thorough job of putting paint on herself and does not leave any gaps. The wife continues to laugh every time she looks at her own reflection. Her idea works so well that only her eyes and teeth become visible when she stands in front of the curtains in her husband's room. Veragara's hard work pays off as her husband walks into the room and does not suspect anything, immediately jumping into his video game. 

The wife begins the prank by knocking around a few things next to her to make him suspicious. This works, and he puts down his headphones to try and look around to figure out what is going on. Alex soon decides to turn on the light, which is when Vergara reveals her true form and begins to laugh. The husband is in shock and begins to run around the room while his wife tries to chase him down.
