Does anyone enjoy seeing a girl get surprised by the size of a mess? For example, a girl steps into what looks like a shallow mud puddle, but it turns out to be a hole of mud that is over her head. She steps in and vanishes, then crawls out all in shock over what just happened.
Sometimes it's a totally unexpected pie or other mess, but to me, it's better when the 'victim' expects a small amount of mess but winds up with way more than she bargained for.
A cool, but difficult to set up a prank, would be to have a wading pool in the middle of a floor. What the victim doesn't know, is that it is set up over a trap door, and the 'wading pool' is actually only the surface of a deep tank of something messy. The pool could be two inches deep and the girl told to jump in the middle without sliding. But of course, she would vanish into the deep mess, and crawl out in a state of disbelief. Admittedly, that would be extremely difficult and expensive to set up.
The same reaction sometimes occurs if a nicely dressed girl gets covered in sprayed mud by a vehicle passing through a puddle next to her.
It's not so much the mess, as it is the reaction that I like to see. Someone planning to gingerly walk through a 2 inch muddy area, but then goes in over their head, and emerges totally messed up is a sight to see, and the look of shock, surprise and odd reactions, such as unexplained laughter, make it a whole lot more fun than someone just standing there waiting for a pie in the face.
You could even have someone expecting a pie in the face, but instead, a ton of pie filling drops on them from the ceiling. Same type of thing.
I love watching scenes like this and am always looking for new recommendations and undiscovered gems.
Sometimes the element of surprise comes from a friend being brought along on a shoot, either not planning on getting messy at all or being talked into participating and then being surprised by the amount of mess.
I would love to see more shoots with girls in the clothes they turned up wearing going through a "run through" of what's going to happen - a rehearsal - only it's NOT the rehearsal and they end up getting trashed in what they came in!
There was a vid on YT exactly this scenario, entitled 'swimming in mud' appeared to be filmed in the States featuring a blonde model in thigh boots and short skirt (none of this is usually my thing, but it's the reaction that does it). She waded out into maybe shin deep mud, then the next step she's sink to her thighs with the mud oozing up her skirt. It's her face and her gasp as she sinks down is the thing, then, once she's become accustomed to her 'fate' she starts to enjoy the feel. Only a really short vid but fun and really cute. It disappeared a while ago but keeps reappearing, each time with the picture even more blurry.
