When Does the Joke Go Too Far?

There’s a couple that’s been dating for the last six years. Apparently they love each other dearly, but over 150 million times the public has viewed their personal pranks on one another via their YouTube channel Prank vs. Prank. Jesse apparently videoed his girlfriend eating a teaspoon of cinnamon six years ago, so she got him back and posted it online, too. From that point on, they have continued to try to outdo one another in the prank department while building a huge following.

pranks include Gina paint-balling Jesse in the shower, Jesse chasing Gina with  a lobster, Gina having an “affair” with a mannequin, as well as Jesse pretending to cut off a lock of Gina’s long blonde hair.

Apparently these shenanigans have not been an obstacle in their relationship. They claim that because it’s expected, that neither of them get overly upset about the pranks.

So, do I think this can last? Of course. Would I recommend it to couples? hell no, but neither would I recommend an open relationship and sharing vials of blood with one another. Yet, both have been successful in some relationships. For most couples living a life where you know you may be the butt of a practical joke that millions may see could be a major bump in the relationship road, but there are no hard and fast rules in relationships except, “If it floats your boat, go for it.”

Six years proves that this is who Gina and Jesse are to one another, and they love each other in spite of being pranksters. Look, it just goes to show you that no matter what anyone says about what a relationship should be like, make it your own, as long as it works. And, waxing my chest while I sleep would not work for me (take note, wifey).
