Twitch streamers Tim “TimTheTatman” Betar and Pokelawls shared a wholesome moment of friendship that brought beautiful laughter to all who were watching earlier today.
Pokelawls, who’s gained a lot of attention lately thanks to his Grand Theft Auto V roleplay character Bogg, was streaming himself watching Tim’s livestream. Tim was hanging out and chatting with his viewers, so Poke decided to try to play a little prank.
Poke sent a message that said “Feels Bad… but this new thing they adding {to Fortnite} is crazy,” with a YouTube link. He was already giggling as soon as he sent the chat.
“‘This new thing they’re adding is crazy,'” Tim said as he read Poke’s message. Poke’s viewers knew the trap was about to be sprung as they watched Tim’s eyes move to another screen to watch the video.
As soon as the link was clicked, a remix of Vengaboys’ “We Like to Party,” the song most famous for the Six Flags theme park commercials, began playing with a text-to-speech voice repeating “jebaited,” over and over. For anyone unaware, “jebaited” is a term used on Twitch to describe getting pranked or fooled.
Poke began laughing hysterically as Tim’s defeated facial expression delivered exactly the reaction he was hoping for.
“I frickin’ hate Poke, dude,” Tim said. “I’ve never clicked a link in my chat, and I trusted my friend Poke, and that’s what I got…”
Poke was absolutely dying at this point and Tim soon joined in on the laughter. Even though Tim couldn’t see Poke’s reaction, it seems clear he could imagine exactly how hard Poke was laughing at his expense.
