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?”
The family steps in to defend Skye
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 turning point
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.
