A YouTuber whose prank videos earned him thousands of subscribers ended up quitting after posting 'joke' videos kissing his mom and sister.
Needless to say, the videos didn't go down very well.
YouTuber Prank Invasion, whose real name is Chris, regularly earned himself thousands of viewers with his videos, most of which involved some form of kissing.

Videos showed the prankster approaching and kissing a string of seemingly random women on the street, but it's no surprise that some of his most shocking videos are those titled 'Kissing My Actual Sister Pank!' and 'Kissing My Actual Mom Prank!'
And no, we're not talking about a familial kiss on the cheek.
Chris filmed himself fully smooching his mom and sister, and he later confirmed to Fabulous Digital that there was nothing fake about the videos.
"She is my real half-sister," he told the publication in 2019. "So, true she is not fully my blood but she is half and that is a fact."

Prank Invasion was flooded with criticism after posting the videos, with one person asking: "How was kissing your sister a prank? You actually kissed her."
Another wrote: "His YouTube channel needs to be deleted."
Prank Invasion's channel was indeed deleted after he posted the videos of his mom and sister, and Chris hasn't posted any videos under the name since.

On 5 June, 2019, Chris took to X with a post indicating he was leaving his channel behind.
"Thank you for everything. It was a fun journey," he wrote. "One thing is for certain, whether you loved me or hated me...when you're 90 years old rocking in your old chair...you will still remember exactly who PrankInvasion was or who Chris is...whatever my name is..."
In 2021, fellow YouTuber SunnyV2 attempted to get to the bottom of what exactly happened to Prank Invasion and revealed that many of his videos were staged with the help of actors he'd recruited to kiss on camera.

He also pointed out that Prank Invasion's channel may have been demonetized before he disappeared from YouTube, according to a post shared by the prankster which read: "Demonetization is a [motherf***er]."
That, combined with the criticism he received for kissing his family members, is believed to have led to the YouTuber to bidding goodbye to his channel.
Chris also shared in 2019 that he'd decided to move to Las Vegas 'on a whim', suggesting he was ready for a fresh start.
