  • GroundIsSound, on 03/28/2009, -9/+279I wonder if the residents of the house noticed a glitch in the Matrix prior to the bricking.
  • Flipperbw, on 03/29/2009, -2/+224well that was a lot of work for 30 seconds of inconvenience.
  • sockpuppets, on 03/29/2009, -3/+224Video needs about 5 minutes chopped off of it.
  • S1ngular1ty1, on 03/29/2009, -2/+203That was pointless. It took him all of 10 sec to pull the wall down.
  • sonicpentatonic, on 03/29/2009, -7/+129All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
  • sockpuppets, on 03/29/2009, -3/+118Oh that wacky %u2013, always posting things on youtube!
  • magicman0201, on 03/29/2009, -10/+122that really wasnt that good of a prank...
  • twishart, on 03/29/2009, -3/+97OY, FOOKIN WANKAHS
  • chuckduck, on 03/28/2009, -3/+72HOOLIGANS!
  • ricksite, on 03/29/2009, -1/+42They should have used bricks that compliment the existing bricks on the house. The ones they used stick out like a sore thumb.
  • philz, on 03/29/2009, -2/+41Where's Toyland?
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -1/+39Maybe his neighbours aren't a bunch of mealy-mouthed weasels like you.
  • ugottrolldsucka, on 03/29/2009, -4/+40I found your comment to be both clever and astute. I'm not sure why someone buried it.
  • dawnraid101, on 03/29/2009, -1/+34No not like this.
  • noahgelman, on 03/29/2009, -3/+35That sucked. It could have been done so much better. He was able to tear the wall down with his hands. WTF is up with that? Good idea, bad execution.
  • Cleancut360, on 03/29/2009, -0/+27Those aren't bricks, they're 4'' concrete blocks. The difference you ask is about 25lbs, and a sore back.
  • indubitably, on 03/29/2009, -1/+28you just got %u2013'd!
  • whatthefu, on 03/29/2009, -2/+28Wow, the Telegraph is really stepping up their reporting.
  • S1ngular1ty1, on 03/29/2009, -1/+26I believe both those options are the same thing.
  • therealrico, on 03/29/2009, -0/+23Right, I mean it was like kinda ok, but he just pushed it down, all that work, and he was able to get in. I am a bigger fan of the one where the kid is getting chased and lays saran wrap across the door, and his buddy falls an d nearly breaks his face. . . now thats funny!
  • onlines, on 03/29/2009, -2/+22Neo, apox, switch.
  • DohCanadian, on 03/29/2009, -11/+29When you see it, you'll ***** bricks.
  • passedoutghost, on 03/29/2009, -0/+16So why weren't you with them getting drunk?
  • crazyhorse13, on 03/29/2009, -3/+16Get off my lawn!
  • wazzledoozle2, on 03/29/2009, -1/+13Cause he was the guy at her house waiting for her to come home.
  • VinnieDaMac, on 03/29/2009, -5/+17Slow news day in UK.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -0/+12http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/usage/s ...
  • Ajajadude, on 03/29/2009, -3/+15Sounds like America
  • jemka, on 03/29/2009, -3/+14God damn you, Cypher!
  • jemka, on 03/29/2009, -2/+13Too late.
  • and303, on 03/29/2009, -1/+12Would've been a lot better if they matched the color of the house!
  • GamerXR72, on 03/29/2009, -1/+12died
  • protodon, on 03/29/2009, -5/+15You have 3 mates?? Are you mormon??
  • adremali, on 03/29/2009, -2/+11you're just a load of fun aren't you?

    also if you took the time to watch the video first, you'd know that nobody was in the house at the time anyway.
  • AlyxVance, on 03/29/2009, -2/+11This girl I knew was having her 21st birthday so she and all her friends were at the bars till 2 in the morning in the fall.

    We went and picked up the ice from the hockey rink's Zamboni dump, put in our truck, and packed it up against their front door.

    So the girls get home at 2 in the morning, they're drunk and in heels, and have to dig the front door open that's covered in snow. They were pissed.
  • sageerrant, on 03/29/2009, -1/+10Exactly the problem.

    If your prank can be resolved by anything less than a sledgehammer, you're doing it wrong.
  • TRWolf, on 03/29/2009, -5/+14Yes, but it was for the initial shock value, I doubt they wanted the wall to permenantly keep him out of his home.
  • Julian88888888, on 03/29/2009, -5/+13Give me my time back now.


    Buried.
  • teamgwho, on 03/29/2009, -4/+12i don't think we needed a 90 second intro by the cigarette smoking brit. It was more then made up for by the awesome quick video of them bricking up the door set to music.

    80's tv comedies are applauding enthusiastically.

    props to the prankster and props to the victim for having a great sense of humor.
  • TRWolf, on 03/29/2009, -2/+10I'm relatively sure it was meant for the initial shock value, and not as a permenant strong wall to stop him getting into his house.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -2/+9sice when is Digg important news?
  • adremali, on 03/29/2009, -8/+15i wish i had an awesome accent :(
  • battye, on 03/29/2009, -1/+8Yeah, I can't believe this made the national press. Never mind that there's a global economic crisis or anything like that - there's a guy building a brick wall!
  • Jeremyz0r, on 03/29/2009, -3/+9Thanks, captain obvious.
  • welliamwallace, on 03/29/2009, -3/+9Those are the best pranks: hilarious, but don't really cause the recipient all that much trouble.
  • DouglasQ, on 03/29/2009, -0/+6No, it's just West Country
  • HyperionHK, on 03/29/2009, -1/+7how would a fire blocking the back door be able to kill him when he's outside of the house? Are you implying the whole neighbourhood will catch fire and the only safe place will be his fireproof house that he can no longer get into?
  • Pinkertinkle, on 03/29/2009, -14/+19Coulda just burned down his house, that's sweet revenge if you ask me. Either that, or arson.
  • inactive, on 03/29/2009, -1/+6Compared to the previously posted video where an office hallway was walled off, this was lame. They might have just as well nailed a piece of plywood over the opening, would have garnered the same effect and taken them less time.

    Call me when they do the stunt using matching brick and motor, removing all traces that the opening had existed.
  • mediahaze, on 03/29/2009, -3/+8"Don't try of any of this at home....these guys are qualified builders."
    LOOL.
