TikToker gets punched after he tried to pull megaphone prank on a stranger

A prankster unknowingly got more than he bargained for after picking the wrong person to pull a joke on.

Popular TikToker jaykindafunny8 attempted to shout through a megaphone behind a burly man wearing a black top.

Footage shows the content creator - know as Jay to fans - being decked to the ground in a headlock as the man took it the wrong way.

The joke-turned-wrong happened at a Home Depot store..

It is thought he wanted to say "muñañyo", which he uses frequently in his pranks.

Jay can be heard squealing "it's just a joke" while the mammoth man pinned him to the ground. Talk about the tables being turned.

The video has since gone viral, Ladbible reports, across multiple social media platforms, amassing millions of views and leaving the internet divided on the Home Depot headlocking.

While it was a pretty violent reaction to a strange sound in your ear, many people praised the herculean shopper for giving the TikToker his comeuppance.

"This is what want to happen to every single person filming prank videos," a man named Daniel commented on Twitter.

Another Twitter user invoked some Taylor Swift lyrics that summed up the situation: "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

"Touching someone without permission is assault. The kid started it. Old dude finished it," wrote a third person.

But other people on social media seemed a bit on the fence about what happened.

One person said: "Man makes a loud noise and another man tackles him to the floor and half the people in the comments consider this an OK response? Madness."

"Massive overreaction," said another.

Jay has clearly lived to tell the tale, as he posted the video and is still posting videos.
