Pranks tend to have a negative connotation. There are plenty of prank videos on social media that are quite mean-spirited, after all. That said, there are also plenty of pranks that prove this doesn’t have to be the case. In fact, some pranks can be quite wholesome. Then there are those created with the intention to actually make the world a better place. A viral video that involves a laughing man at a tram stop is one of the latter.

The prank itself is quite simple, but the results continue to have an impact over a decade later. It all started when a man approached a tram stop. To everyone around him, it seemed as though he was simply waiting for a ride. In reality, though, he was there to spread laugher — quite literally. At some point, the man chuckled to himself. But that quiet chuckle continued to grow until something magical happened…
From everyone else’s perspective, there is nothing particularly funny to laugh about. And yet, the more this stranger laughs, the more they want to join him! By the end of this positive prank, everyone nearby is delightfully amused. This is true even when it’s revealed that this was a prank orchestrated by Ritual Cosmetics, a company that sells luxury home and body products.

“I cry every time I see this. It is amazing how someone else’s joy can spread when expressed aloud,” someone in the comment section shares, with another adding, “I actually did a project like this in my old school. We went in busses and started laughing just randomly.. And we got some people to laugh with us as well.”
