Video: Girl Runs To Dad To Tell Him TV's Not Working, But THIS Was Her Real Plan

A video of a little girl running to her dad to report that the television isn’t working has gone viral—but it’s not the broken TV that’s grabbing attention. It’s the hilarious twist that followed.

The clip begins with the young girl gently opening the door to her dad’s room. “Tell me, what’s up?” the father asks as she enters and tells him the TV isn’t working. Concerned, he rushes to the living room, only to be met with what looks like a completely shattered screen.

He carries his daughter in his arms and heads straight to inspect the damage. But as soon as he makes her rest on the sofa and takes a closer look at the screen, things take an unexpected turn.

It was a prank, which the girl planned and worked it out successfully.

The “broken” screen was instead a video designed to look like a cracked TV. The father actually fell for it.

When he operated the television, it suddenly jumped to a scary horror scene, sending the father into a fear episode. Screaming in fear, he falls to the floor and exits from the room.

And the little girl’s reaction? Not fear, but pure joy.

Delighted that her prank worked, she dances and hums a little tune from the sofa, clearly proud of her successful fun.

The video has quickly gained traction online, with viewers laughing at the father's dramatic reaction and praising the girl's playful creativity. But some also raised concerns about the little one not helping the man when he was left terrified.
