YouTubers The Dobre Twins under fire for \u201cmessed up\u201d death prank Instagram: dobretwinsYouTubers Marcus and Lucas Dobre are under fire after they uploaded a YouTube \u2018prank\u2019 video in which they pretended Marcus had died, with commenters calling the video \u201cdisturbing.\u201d The Dobre Twins are YouTube content creators with over 24 million subscribers, who are known for posting viral prank and challenge videos. On January 10, the brothers uploaded a video with the title \u2018My Twin Brother is Dead?\u2019 which opens with Lucas showing viewers what appears to be a \u2018suicide note\u2019 from Marcus. The note asked him to split all their assets with their family, and said that he\u2019d left Lucas something in the backyard. After waiting for his other brothers to arrive, they went out into the backyard, and found a small headstone. At the end of the video, Marcus appeared on camera and confirmed that he\u2019s not dead, and said that he just wanted to prank his family. The video was met with a wave of backlash from commenters who felt that the \u2018prank\u2019 was in bad taste. \u201cThis is literally one of the most disturbing videos, you think it\u2019s okay to joke about suicide?\u201d one comment read, \u201cespecially to a young and impressionable audience, so gross, shame on you guys, joking about suicide will never be okay.\u201d Another commenter wrote: \u201cThis kind of content is so so sickening. It\u2019s very distasteful and to say that I\u2019m disappointed doesn\u2019t even begin to describe the feeling. Suicide isn\u2019t something anyone should joke about let alone clip together and make a video about to \u2018prank\u2019 your young and impressionable audience.\u201d Several commenters said that the video is the \u201cperfect example\u201d of why YouTube shouldn\u2019t have removed the dislike button. The video is still live at the time of writing, and it\u2019s currently not clear whether or not the twins plan on addressing any of the backlash they\u2019re receiving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
