An influencer has found himself in trouble after choosing the wrong person to prank in a video for his TikTok account.
TikTok user jaykindafunny8 - known simply as 'Jay' to his fans - headed to a hardware store looking to create some videos to earn him those precious clicks and it did not end well.
Jay's targets usually laugh off his pranks or just walk away, however this time he picked the wrong victim and it ended up with him being thrown on the floor.

In the clip, Jay walked up behind an unsuspecting shopper.
He lifted up what appeared to be a PVC pipe to use as a megaphone - presumably to say 'muñañyo', which he uses frequently in his pranks.
The influencer was barely able to finish whatever he was planning on yelling before the guy got behind him and decked him onto the floor.
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 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 TikTokker 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.
"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.
But the lesson for him next time he wants to prank a stranger? Do not pick fights with people twice your size. Or just don't prank people for pointless videos.
