Break's Prank It FWD Returns for April Fools' Day - Watch a Deserving New Jersey Couple Get the Surprise of Their Lives in "Married at the Movies"


Break's Prank It FWD is back with more feel-good pranks this April Fools' Day, kicking off season two with "Married at the Movies" to surprise a deserving New Jersey couple with the wedding they thought they'd never get - and then some! Elaine Bran, a film-school graduate and cinema enthusiast and her fiancé Mario, can't afford a wedding due to a series of unforeseen hardships. With mounting medical bills and the heavy costs of a family member's funeral, this deserving couple was forced to put off a proper wedding for more than six years. Watch as a simple trip to the movies turns into something much more spectacular than they ever could have imagined.

Season one of Prank It FWD launched in April 2014 with "Best Shift Ever," surprising an LA waitress with some life-changing "tips," including a new car. Top YouTube (News - Alert) stars, Hollywood celebrities, and even First Lady Michelle Obama joined in on the fun over Thanksgiving which helped push the program to more than 50 million views. The video "She's Got it Maid" took things to another level, surprising a hardworking housekeeper and single mother of three in Cleveland, OH with a brand new house. Since Prank It FWD debuted, the program has received over 15,000 user submissions to nominate someone.

Prank It FWD will again benefit charitable partner DoSomething.org, one of the largest global organizations for young people and social change. Break will donate one dollar for every 1,000 views of the Prank It FWD videos as well as one dollar for every social mention and share of #PrankItFWD.

Original prank videos from SMOSH, Screen Junkies, AWEme, and ClevverTV, as well as prolific pranksters Greg Benson, Tom Mabe and more will roll out throughout the week. Even the L.A. Clippers get in on the action this time around! Featured pranks for good include:

  • Break's "L.A. Clippers Surprise Local Salon" - With a little hep from L.A. Clippers' Glen Davis and DeAndre Jordan, a struggling L.A. salon gets a life-changing makeover
  • SMOSH's "Ultimate High School Prank" - SMOSH founders Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox give one deserving fan a trip to the principal's office she won't soon forget
  • Break's Prank Bank, "You Got Served" - The term "you've been served" takes on a whole new meaning!
