Chris Pratt gets pranked with two life-size dinosaurs in YouTube vid

Chris Pratt Dinosaurs Prank (SA Wardega)
Actor Chris Pratt may be tired of dinosaurs by now, but unbeknownst to him, the star of the mega-hit Jurrasic World had at least one more reptilian thrill in store. Pratt recently got pranked with the help of some life-size animatronic dinosaurs by YouTuber SA Wardega in a hidden camera video that has now reached close to two-million views on the site.

You may not know him immediately by face or name, as Pratt did not. But Polish YouTuber Sylwester Wardega is no stranger to Internet video pranking fame. He most famously created the creepy mutant giant spider dog video – which Pratt references in this video – that has, in less than a year, been viewed more than 140 million times. He first made a name for himself back in 2013 for his video called Police Trainer where he taunts Polish cops by drinking a beer in public, then bolting to see if they will try to catch him. The verdict? It’s worth watching.

This latest video, which not quite as entertaining, includes highly-realistic looking and moving animatronic dinosaurs that scare and surprise Pratt as he turns a hallway corner.

Interestingly enough, the massive creatures still don’t seem to scare Pratt quite as much as a dog in a spider costume seemed to have frightened folks in the aforementioned video. What makes this video funny, however, is Pratt’s reaction to having been “had.”

Obviously, the massively-successful fourth installment of the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World, was the inspiration behind the prank. And while Pratt may have been less than thrilled with the ruse, he ought to be more than able to take it in stride. As the lead in what has quickly become one of the most successful blockbusters of all time — raking in a record $524.4 million in its opening weekend alone according to Variety — Pratt doesn’t have much to complain about. Though we’re guessing he’ll be glad to soon be done with dinosaurs for a while — until the next sequel, anyway.

What is YouTube Music? Everything you need to know

YouTube is one of the most popular online destinations for video, but it's also one of the premier places in the world to find music. It's no surprise, then, that Google went and rolled all that music content out into a dedicated music app called YouTube Music. The app offers music and podcasts and has free and premium versions.

If you're wondering how YouTube Music compares to other music streaming services like Spotify, Tidal, or Apple Music, it really depends on how frequently you rely on YouTube to search for music and how important music videos are to you. In this article, we'll give you all the information you need to make an informed decision.

YouTube TV just got even better on iPhones and iPads
Multiview on YouTube TV on an iPad.

If you use the most popular live-streaming service on an iPhone or iPad, things just got even better. YouTube TV — which boasts more than 8 million subscribers — just pushed multiview live on Apple's mobile devices, as previously promised.

It works basically the same way it does on a television. YouTube TV picks the programs available in multiview, and you get them all at once, with audio coming from one of the shows. Tap another, and the audio switches. And just as before, you can get multiview for sports, news, business, or weather. (Though we definitely don't recommend watching four news channels at once in an election year.) It's just in time for March Madness, which is great, though we hope you'll be able to pick your own games instead of just sticking with the multiple viewing options YouTube TV gives. This will be great come fall, though, when the new season of NFL Sunday Ticket takes hold.

YouTube tells creators to start labeling ‘realistic’ AI content
YouTube on Roku.

YouTube is taking steps to try to help viewers better understand if what they’re watching has been created, whether completely or in part, by generative AI.

“Generative AI is transforming the ways creators express themselves -- from storyboarding ideas to experimenting with tools that enhance the creative process,” YouTube said in a message shared on Monday. “But viewers increasingly want more transparency about whether the content they’re seeing is altered or synthetic.”
