Kid pulls off candy prank to lure adults in the van
This kid is so funny he had me laughing out loud with his wit!

Right from the time they can walk and talk, kids are told a very specific rule. “Don’t accept candy from strangers!”

In this video, the creators at Vlog have the hilarious idea of flipping that old rule on its head!

They have a little kid offering candy to strangers out of a van!

They find Elliot, who is often seen in their Vlog Creations videos, to be their creepy van driver.

Elliot is absolutely hilarious and is a natural born actor, he picks up on the joke pretty much instantly and embraces it!

Now that they’ve found their lurer, they go off on the hunt.

The van is nearly perfect.

I think everyone has the same image in mind when they think of the quintessential creep van, but they needed the windows in the back so that the film crew could capture everyone’s reactions!

So this is as close as they could come to THE white creep van!

As the van pulls up to people around this shopping area, the window rolls down and Elliot pokes his head out.

Imagine being greeted with that face offering you candy.

Hilarious for sure, but also so confusing and with the offer of candy, off putting. I think their first victim captures pretty much everyone’s reactions perfectly:

Her face alone gives you a pretty good idea of how she’s feeling!

Another woman gives me one of my favourite reactions in the video where she initially thinks it is kind of cute and playing along, and then delivers this hilarious double take!

But the guy that really takes the cake is the one that’s just having NONE OF IT. He’s simply sitting outside enjoying a cigarette when an infant rolls up on him and offers him candy to get in a van. This guy has fantastic survival instinct.

That’s all he says. Amazing.

I honestly want to keep this photo of this guy for future reaction images. It’s just so versatile!

Throughout the video we get a couple clips of the film crew and Ross driving while this is all going on and their reactions to Elliot and his wit are just so wholesome.

They clearly think he’s hilarious!

It’s really sweet to see these guys having such a good time, although they are also definitely laughing at the confusion and discomfort of others!

So many people have zero idea how to respond to this! This woman below has the confusion clear on her face, although she has some good first instincts!

I’m impressed that no one is taking the candy! Even if they’re pretty sure it’s a joke, they aren’t exactly willing to risk it!

One woman, maybe just a cook on break, is refusing to take the candy, when Elliot asks her what she likes to which she says (with some sass)

Elliot’s response is my favourite part of the video. He’s just so quick witted and has great delivery!

Here’s hoping we seem him in the comedy field one day!

A little messed up to say, but he doesn’t know that so it’s really just hilarious and cute! It had me crying out with laughter!

Elliot even maintains his cool when they run into someone they weren’t expecting…

Yeah, that’s a cop. They’re told that they probably shouldn’t be driving around with Elliot on their lap and they accept. The prank was fun while it lasted!

They finish the video off with making sure they know Elliot knows what to do in a situation where someone he doesn’t know offers him candy or tries to talk to him. Wholesome!
