Workers faint and run after a hilarious snake prank

In another story, Briefly News reported that a video showing three workers being pranked with a toy snake had social media users laughing out loud.

Being frightened by a snake can be funny, especially if they have an irrational fear of snakes or their reaction is particularly over-the-top.

The footage shared on TikTok by @aloiscalazerosgre shows a man strategically hiding a yellow toy snake in some litter before asking the men to clean up the area.
