Bet nobody will show up to the next one

[lrdapophis]

I've always wanted to do this, minus the whole coming back thing. If I fake my death, NONE of them are seeing me again!!✌🏼🤣

[XxGlobalGamerxX]

That’s one way to see who’s fake before you die. What a crazy story

[kaydawgy]

helicoptor crashes right before landing, killing him

[GREGGSOHO]

Why would you put your family & friends through that, just so YOU can be assured they love you? This dude is a selfish horrible person.

[scorpiocara]

N then he shows up in a damn helicopter

I see why they dont like him he extra he do too much. damn dramatic

[STAYWOKE]

Pretty sure it's illegal to fake your death

[therealgodsjoshuamatthew]

This is so childish for a man to do. To hurt people intentionally for attention. There are other ways to go about this. Plus he may have brought his real death on sooner by portraying the fake one.

If you ever feel unloved, remember that god loves you!

[deanreardon]

makes sense why he felt unloved. then he turns up in helicopter, what a narcissistic

[eoinoconnor]

So if he dies for real, how many do you think will show up to the funeral?

[papamaanbeerVideo]

what a horrible thing to do to your family. ig they didnt hate you yet they might now

[shoshox]

If thats how people want to dress to my funeral, then theres no love or respect. 😢

[footystarGamingOfficial]

WAY too far, but never "cancellable". Looks like nobody's gonna attend his ACTUAL funeral...

[Fleshybitz]

So that's how you see if someone loves you? Now I just need a helicopter😮

[xtraphilip]

**Icould fake having cancer and then take some pills**

[YearsAgo]

Where are the black suits gentlemen? It's a funeral, football jerseys don't match the occasion...😞

[kevinperry]

Everyone I know did that to me. Now I'm just waiting for them all to come back.

[paralegalfromshelter]

Every day videos of cancer, death, tragedy looking for a heartbreaking response its not the same once you know someone is showing you that and purposely looking for your heart breaking response. Same thing tomorrow. What tragedy will befall tomorrow? The next day? The day after. You get to where you cant cry anymore you just wait to find out whats going on.

[Tommyboy]

If he wasn’t getting any invites or any calls from anyone, and he didn’t do anything wrong or hurt anyone in the family, then yeah, I say they deserved the prank.

This is just another example of “they only love you when you’re gone”

I know it’s not always like this, but sometimes it is.
