Boyfriend flirts with danger by pretending to mistreat his girlfriend in viral prank

A TikTok prank between a couple ended with the boyfriend’s family rushing to defend the girlfriend in a hilarious and heartwarming moment. Janae Skye—known as @janaeskye._ on TikTok—shared a video where she and her boyfriend Keith decided to prank his family by staging an argument. The scene unfolded in their kitchen, with Keith's family gathered around, casually enjoying snacks and drinks, unaware of what was about to happen.

The couple had planned for Keith to act rudely towards 20-year-old Skye in front of everyone, sparking a fake argument over food she had brought for the family, but not for him. Keith stormed into the kitchen and demanded to know why he didn’t get any food. Skye coolly replied that he was asleep, so she didn’t think to order for him. Keith then feigned outrage, questioning, “Are you for real?”

Keith's family didn’t hesitate to jump in when his behavior turned sour. His mother was the first to speak up, firmly telling him to get his own food instead of making demands. But Keith kept pushing, asking, “Why do I have a girlfriend if she can’t get me some food?”

His brother reacted with a scrunched face, clearly disapproving of Keith’s attitude. The mom stood up for Skye once again, telling Keith bluntly that his girlfriend isn’t his slave. “Take the car and go get your own food,” she told him as the argument escalated. When his father noticed how heated things were getting, he stepped in to say, “That’s enough,” but Keith wasn’t done yet. He raised his voice and snatched Skye’s food, demanding she fetch him some.

Keith’s dad wasn’t having it. In one swift move, he put his drink down and braced himself for what looked like an impending confrontation. At this point, everyone in the room was either stunned or ready to step in—especially his mom, who had Skye’s back from the beginning.

The prank hit its peak when Keith dropped an expletive at Skye, which was the final straw for his protective mom. “Who are you talking to?” she exclaimed, visibly angry. By this point, the whole family had gotten involved, and it was clear Skye had their full support.

The video quickly went viral, racking up over 12 million views, with viewers applauding Keith’s family for their loyalty to Skye during the prank.

Viewers flooded the comments section with their thoughts on how the prank played out. Many expressed admiration for how Keith’s family stepped up to defend Skye without hesitation. One user, @ciarab_2, wrote, “Dad put his drink down so fast. I love families that check their children.”

Another user, @sowanb, added, “The way your brother looked at you. I love how your parents (and the whole family) stuck up for your girlfriend.”

Others couldn’t help but laugh at how quickly Keith’s mom took charge after he swore at Skye. @stay.potent quipped, “The way his mom draped him up after he cussed made me cry.”

One particularly popular comment from @bigbangcreator read, “This guy was flirtin' with disaster the whole time!”

Another viewer, @lolikadosh, joked, “Girl, better keep this man and marry him for real. Even if you stop loving him, just do it for the in-laws.”

The prank may have started as a fun joke, but it ended up revealing how much love and respect Keith’s family has for Skye. Whether it was his mom, dad, or brother, they all stood up for her when things got heated, showing that in this family, mutual respect is a given.

If you’re in a relationship, this video is a reminder of how important it is to have the support of your partner’s family. And for Keith and Skye, it’s clear that they’ve got a great one.
