- Matthew and Paul do a deep-dive into Matthew’s pranking origin story. Matthew describes the “Pranking Family” in which he grew up, including some of the absurd pranks he pulled on his siblings. Paul talks about the FIRST PRANK Matthew ever pulled on him and the unexpected feelings that immediately arose.

Pranking is Matthew’s love language. Shaving the couch is Paul’s love language.
THIS IS ACCURATE
😂😂😂😂
😂
That is hilarious 🤣
@@MatthewandPaulOfficialYes
Thank you for addressing not pranking people who don't like pranks or strangers. The Internet has made bad pranksters go wild. Too many pranks are just meanness. I don't enjoy pranks. A minor prank would hurt my relationship with that person. A major, especially public, prank and that person would be dead to me.
Totally agree mate - I would be mortified and serious damage would unfortunately be done to my relationship with that Muppet.
I don't like pranks either, I wouldn't trust the person
A good prank is one that is fun for everyone, especially the prank victim.
@@glenngriffon8032 Generally, that's true. Some of us just don't like being personally involved in pranking AT ALL. Adrenaline hits aren't fun for me. I've had far, far more that were from negative sources than fun ones. Same with surprises. I abhor embarrassment as the association with mean spiritedness is too strong.
You just need to know the person, and know they enjoy it before doing anything. I can enjoy watching Paul & Matthew because it is good natured and made abundantly clear that Paul enjoys it.
So true. I hate the prank channels where the victim is upset to the point of tears before the prank is revealed
As someone who hates being pranked, I really enjoyed the rules that Mathew outlined.
🤣 Keep having fun!
Yes, you gotta play by the rules otherwise it's not fun -- it's just mean!
Same😊
Dang! Looks like I am falling behind on my oldest sibling duties 😂😂😂
Came here to say this! And to be fair to those who can't prank me, I do not prank others. I might accidentally startle someone by walking too quietly, but never on purpose.
@@melissarogersp863 Same!! Although... my brother's birthday conviniently falls on Friday the 13 next year. I'll catch up then. And no worries, none of Matthew's VERY VERY important rules will be broken.
Matthew forgot one rule - he who pranks must also be willing to be pranked.
yeass =) as one that hates being pranked. i do not prank. it should be with everything-- only do to others what you want to be done to u
Matthew's prank rules are right on point. Real _pranks_ are ones that make _everyone_ laugh and enjoy the moment. Otherwise it is bullying, and it is lovely to see that Matthew takes care not to bully & Paul actually desires the playfulness in their relationship.
My parents pranked me constantly, especially when I was a child. I recall going to eat my lunch in school and cracking open my hard boiled eggs (I always cracked them by smashing them together...weird, I know) only to discover they were raw. When my mom came to pick me up later in the day and saw the egg mess down the front of my dress, she laughed and laughed and pointed at me in front of all the other kids. She was supposed to bring me a change of clothes after lunch but never came. After I went to bed that night, I heard my mom and dad laughing about it. On my 16th birthday, they told me we were going to dinner. I waited and waited in my room only to discover they had left the house. Yes, "we" went to dinner, but "we" was just them. Happy Birthday to me, as usual. No presents. This was a cruel and constant daily occurrence. When I was very young I was even afraid to go home. DO NOT PRANK PEOPLE FOR ANY REASON UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN THEY WILL NOT BE HURT BY IT. In my 65 years, I have never pranked anybody and never will. I am happy your pranks are harmless and Paul can laugh heartedly about them.
Oh no! These are not nice pranks. Sorry you experienced that!
They sound like 0ranks my dad would do except...
He would apologize for the egg mess, and bring me clothes.
And I'm fairly sure my dad did the birthday prank except he went around the block and came back.
Those aren't even pranks that's just cruel
that's not a "prank", that's just mean-spirited cruelty. im so sorry all that happened to you :( you deserved better
😢
I appreciate the direct discussion of consent in the "prank rules," and Paul's discussion of how the pranks helped him feel like his disability added a positive in the relationship was really cool. I'm multiply disabled, and I don't think I've ever had an experience like that. I feel fortunate that disability has been mostly neutral in my adult relationships, but that would be something.
Paul talking about how the pranks made him feel like they could laugh together and that relationship wasn't all about his blindness actually made me choke up a little.
Mu 8 year old son would love you. He is special needs, but he loves pranks. It doesn't matter if he is the one doing them or if he is the one being pranked. I love that your pranks are fairly harmless to and no one gets hurts. You guys are wonderful.
I love that Matthew has such good rules for pranks. Matthew should lead a movement for responsible and common sense pranking.
Totally agree with Matthew that pranks should be fun for both parties and light hearted.
I have a friend who’s blind and he has been dumped in the middle of a very busy street without his cane and guide dog. By his own brother no less. All in the guise of a “prank.”
My friend got severely hurt by falling because he couldn’t tell where he was and split his head open. He was dumped three cities away.
The police found him and drove him to the hospital and to his home. And yes his brother was arrested. He even went to prison for it. In my country, endangering the life of a disabled person can lead up to 5 years prison time.
My friend and his brother don’t talk anymore since that “prank” which is like 8 years ago. His brother was always very cruel to him since he went blind sadly.
That’s awful!
Does your friend still call it a prank? I don't know if he's come to terms with it, but if he's still struggling to do so, it might be time to label it something worse. "Prank" hints that there was no harmful intent, but your story sounds like serious bullying to me. Not a thoughtless prank gone wrong.
@@JWildberry Just asked him and he now considers it as attempted murder. His brother insisted it was 'just a prank.'
Never liked the guy anyway. He was very mean to everyone. My guess is that he was jealous because my friend required more care and attention from his parents since he went blind.
@@NickJoyhill Thank you for the update! I'm glad he puts the blame squarely where it belongs: on his brother. I hope he's doing well, and that he has a lot of good people in his life now.
That’s not a prank, that’s an unconscionable crime, even worse because it was perpetrated by someone who is supposed to love him.
I only recently discovered this channel and it's really wholesome. I had a neighbor kid who was going blind as we were both growing up, and he told me when I wanted to play football (soccer) with him that I would have to choose another ball than my white one, because he couldn't see it (this was early on, he still had enough vision to play). I brought out a silver ball and he said he saw it as a giant snowball. After that I made sure to bring out other footballs with better patterns on them.
So thoughtful of you ❤
I love how Mathew ended the video on a prank aswell 😂
I HAD TO!!
You mentioned you've lived in three places together. I'm interested to learn how Paul, as a blind person, evaluates an apartment when deciding where to live. And then, maybe, how you work together to choose the right place for the two of you.
Oh yes, when we go apartment hunting LIGHT is extremely important! We always get a SE facing corner unit for optimal natural light. Plus open concept has been important to us as well. Fewer walls to run into!
Thanks so much!@@MatthewandPaulOfficial
I have loved watching the pranks. My favourite is the one where Matthew wore the same clothes as Paul and took a white stick with him as they left the apartment. The two seconds of silence and then Paul's scream. Utter magic.
My dad would prank me every Easter he would take my Easter egg and put two tins of carrots in my room in its place 😅😊 I miss those days he past away 30 yrs ago now
As someone with anxiety, pranks makes me so nervous and with their increasing popularity on the internet, I get bad anxiety when I have to go into town and walk around. I'm tense the whole time I'm there and then I'm so exhausted when I come home that I sleep for 3-5 hours.
But I love the pranks that Matthew does and you can tell that Paul is enjoying himself and that does make me happy (and it helps the anxiety too)
Pranking is Matthew's love language. It's wonderful that you can both enjoy it. Never stop finding ways to laugh together.
This is perfectly said
I think it would be cool to ad an own cam for Mr Maple so we can watch him chew his bone while you two are talking hahaha. I’d also love to see more shorts of Matthew playing with Maple and generally some “Mr Maple while he’s not at work” content ❤ Not that I don’t love you two!
haha fun idea!!
The pranks are quite ingenious and Paul’s reactions are just too cute ❤
You two have taught me so much about blindness, and I'm so incredibly grateful for that! I actually recently met a blind person while I was at work a few days ago, and I remembered your videos while I was interacting with her!
I especially remember thinking about your videos when I handed her the receipt, making sure she felt the receipt in her hand so she could grab it.
I wouldn't have had this awareness without the way you both explained blindness. You're awesome!
Oh you two are so sweet together :)
My uncle can only decipher blue and greens. We have pictures from the 60-70s era in pink n purple bell bottom jeans because purple looked black while pinks just looked white..
OH my gosh, same!! with me, it's usually light greens and reds that give me the most trouble and my friends wrote out a whole "essay" in light green and red so i couldn't use the white of the paper to figure it out easily and had me proof-read it. t turned out to be a five page list of everything they liked about me, given conveniently at a time I had been having a rough week.
I loved the part when Paul talked about being pleasantly surprised that his disability added a positive to the relationship. I have autoimmune diseases and I get self conscious about it because I get tired really easily for someone my age. It often makes me feel old and boring. I’m always trying to hide it or downplay it. I never thought that being honest about it could actually be a good thing…
I love that the pranks you show are innocent and as you said, have no harmful element to them. I hate seeing videos of bad pranks and purely humiliating people. Your pranks and laughter brings me so much joy! Also reminds non-disabled people that we can have fun and laugh even if we are disabled - sometimes even because we are disabled! I have so many jokes with my friends and family because I’m visually impaired and have a prosthetic leg 😁
We would prank my older brother for Christmas for years...I kinda feel bad...but his reactions were just so golden and he would never suspect us, year after year...he was just too easy to prank.
Matthew! Thank you for addressing your rules for pranks. That is why I enjoy your pranks so much because you never aim to make the other person uncomfortable. Paul always laughs and enjoys them. Pranking got such a bad rep because of people using it as a way to abuse others and cover it up as "oh it was a prank." Just makes me love you more that you are so considerate and have boundaries to protect. You are brilliant and thank you for pointing that out ❤️
I asked a friend if he would go camping with him. He said, not unless it was at the Regency Hilton Hotel. As a prank I sent him a large tent. I laughed for a week straight awaiting delivery of that tent. And to my surprise he decided to keep the tent and put it up in his back yard. I still laugh about that prank decades after the fact.
That’s cute! And your friend got a free tent!
This is so healthy and beneficial, given that Paul likes them and they are not mean-spirited or hurtful. I can tell always that Paul is laughing and having a good time. It's obvious you two have such a sweet and loving relationship.
It’s so true, we should never prank strangers and we should never prank disabled people or blind people. Great PSA👍🏻 Respect!
Never prank *unconsenting disabled people
I love this! And I love how Paul said “inter-able relationship”. That’s a great term.
I feel the exact same way about my narcolepsy! It can be VERY trying on relationships but if I could date a comedian, all my crazy escapades could be his own personal goldmine of new material!
We love to see more pranks. Honestly Paul's reaction is priceless and Matthwe's pranks are just brilliant. No harm done and actually funny ♡
I’m so glad we get to see Mr. Maple now. I love your live chat sessions. Keep it up ❤
More to come!
😅 I would be on edge but love how Paul is not disablist and treats Matthew the same as so many other people he loves in his family. You guys make my heart happy.😊
As someone who is not an enjoyer of pranks, I love hearing about what people who do like pranks are thinking about in this context. Thanks for the prank deep dive!
As someone who was tricked (i.e., bullied) a lot by many different people as a child, I like hearing Matthew's clear rules about what defines a "prank". They are in line with tickle-rules: give warning that tickling is coming, tickle while people are enjoying the feeling, stop _immediately_ when the tickle-ee indicates no more. (I am sad to admit I was not good to my little sister about stopping when we were children.)
You talking about feeling like your disability adds something positive to your relationship really hit home for me. My boyfriend’s main love languages are talking mess and acts of service, and our relationship is the first time that I’ve actually felt like my partner enjoys helping me when I hurt every day and takes pride in bringing me snacks for my blood sugar and has fun poking fun at my audio processing issues. It’s so fulfilling for both of us 🖤
I never liked pranks because all of the pranks I ever experienced hurt my feelings. But I like the pranks you've pulled because of the rules you listed and how no one is hurt or embarrassed. It's nice and wholesome to see how much you two laugh together.
I love love love the background of your pranks, the rules for pranking, everybody can learn from it and get a ton of inspiration for languages of intimacy
I associate pranks with being mean, so for a long time I avoided tapping on your shorts. Especially because they were targeted towards someone with a disability. When I finally did, I realized 2 things. The pranks you pull are totally wholesome, and both of you enjoy them. It makes it so much better. (I will be sharing this video with my kids because it is so wholesome)
LMAO “No poor blind boy.” That’s so fair-especially since it’s your love language. And I love that you have rules. I hate watching people pranking their family and their house is so filthy from it that my first thought is “WHO IS CLEANING THAT UP?”
Is so refreshing to see Matthew's pranks, most "pranks" on the internet are just cruel and mean. But he's are so wholesome and cute.
Thank You Both for bringing such Happiness into My life when I find it Incredibly difficult to find something to smile about these days!
Thank You So much for even taking the time out of your day to '❤️' My comment, Especially when you have So many people who Love You Both & respond to your videos! Have a Truly Fantastically Wonderful day My Unmet Friends Across the World!!
❤️🫶❤️ 🤟🥰🤟 ❤️🫶❤️
I am amazed that Paul's vision gives him the data he needs to be an artist , his power to extrapolate must be top tier .
Part of why I enjoy watching you two is the dynamic in those moments, where something challenging like vision loss becomes a way to make both your days a little lighter.
It's pure joy for me to see Maple run around trying to get Paul to find Matthew, like it's his favourite thing ever.
My boyfriend is so understanding with my biggest disabilities, ADHD and autism. For me it is very hard like you guys said. Is there another way I can show him that I appreciate everything he has done. There are not a lot of positives from my disabilities, but how do I show how much I love him and how much a appreciate him being so patient with me?
Does anyone else find the "Paul Vision" simulations relaxing? I know a lot of people say it makes them dizzy or gives them headaches but for me, it's like this really nice cozy relaxing thing to look at. I bet its not that way for Paul though.
I just wanna give both of them a biiiiiiggggggggggg hug they are so wholesome and sweet
Thank you sharing your take on pranks. I had to coworkers at the same time who pranked me so regularly that I dreaded going to work. Perhaps if it were only on occasion, I would have been ok with them playing a little. It's fun watching the two of you. Friendly, harmless playing.
My dad was a prankster and I miss it so much didn't think I'd miss being pranked but I do so much. If we were eating at the table don't get up to use the bathroom u never know what would be in your drink or a toothpick in your straw but he got a kick out of it and it was always great to see him smile and laugh 😃 😂
I am still really new to your channel, but I just already love watching. I love your relationship and how sweet you are to each other. And Maple is just adorable ❤❤❤
What I love about this is how healthy it is
The prank wouldn’t be funny if Paul was actually upset over it imo
But the fact he laughs aswell just makes it feeoboioenyo can laugh along
I was able to purchase your calendar during Thanksgiving break, and now I am expecting it to be delivered today. And when New Years Eve is nigh, I will definitely find a good place to put it!
Edit: Before I forget, I want to let you know that when your book is available to be ordered, I will do my best to make sure I have enough to purchase not only your book but _two_ Pengroom plushies as well! And that’s a promise!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hello from Northern California! I have been watching the Matthew and Paul show for a couple of days; Seriously, you two make my day, both of you are a delight in the world! and I already had The Pengrooms in my classroom because I have a little guy in my class, who loves all things penguin and this book made his day to see it on the bookshelf. I wish you both lots of love, happiness, joy and abundances in life.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love Paul and Matthew and the pranks, they are harmless fun and I love Matthews rules about pranks that he follows. Such a sweet amazing couple, you both do so much for not just the blind community but for people in general, I always know one of your vids will brighten my day so thank you for that and for your vids 💖
Paul's "MATTHEW" reminds me of Dave's "AAAAALLVVIIIINN" from Alvin and the chipmunks
I love that he loves to prank you so much. You can see the love in the pranks. I love you both your videos are always so lighthearted and funny.
thank you! its super important to say that while pranking can be silly and fun, there are definitely lines, and ALSO that its okay to prank your loved ones with their consent!
I love the chemistry and passion you three share together. I love watching you guys and you make me smile. I know I will never have true love the way you guys do. God Bless ♥️
Glad you all are talking about pranking. Happy to know you both enjoy them.
I'm glad you made this video as I've wondered about this dynamic since I started seeing your short prank videos.
Matthew thank you for reading my 3 comments out loud on the last live! It made me ridiculously happy and proud! And yes I did hear Maple chewing on his bone behind the camera, but I could not identify the sound until you said it! I thought " I can't be hearing the fridge like Paul"!🤣 Now I don't have Tiktok and can't afford Patreon so bye for now!💖🐶👬
Awww, you're welcome!
Oh nooooo I wanna know what the prank is 😂
The best part is the pranks are not abusive and mean, but actually funny for both sides.
Okay this is weird but having to second guess everything in childhood, that explains one way that Matthew empathizes and relates to Paul's childhood
I wish Paul could see what we (or perhaps just I) see on screen watching his facial expressions and his contagious laughter. I often don't watch any of the videos on CZcams, preferring to listen to them, but when Matthew and Paul come on I want to watch Paul. I find Paul so adorable. Forgive me Matthew, I promise you I ain't trying to steal Paul from you. He wouldn't care for me.
I don't know you or Paul, but I love you both SO MUCH! You are the template to my love life. I'm so glad to be apart of the "family"❤️❤️❤️❤️
how i love hearing Paul say "Matthew!!!" at the end of every prank❤❤..its precious!!! even Mr. Maple joined in..😂❤😂
wow you guys have the most beautiful smiles !! love your videos , Paul's positive energy & Matthew's sense of humor is UNMATCHED ! Bless you both & Mr. Maple !❤
I really appreciate Matthew's set of morals for pranks because pretty much all the pranks that have ever been pulled on me were with the design of me getting hurt, scared, or embarrassed. Now I tend to not like pranks much but if I met someone who pranked like how Matthew does I think I would find it funny because the only goal is for both poeple to laugh
Sounds like those weren't pranks. I once was "pranked" several different times over many weeks at a professional office. Someone would come and change the letters around in my flexible desk name plate. I was more focused on work and would go long times without noticing it. Office mates would often point it out to me. The perpetrator never made themselves known; there was never an opportunity to laugh together about it. I asked the office manager to talk with whomever it was to ask for it to stop, but that wasn't a permanent solution. Finally someone else with ordering authority bought me an engraved name plate, like most of office staff had.
Oh to find someone who'd prank me in this safe and fun way 😅 I love you guys for it and always waiting for more. Btw Matthew, I've got an idea for a new prank: whenever Paul does something throughout the day, play him a song/sound effect as if you're in a musical 😂❤ I think that would be sooo good!
I'm just a woman from Australia that discovered you guys by accident and now I'm a fan lol ❤️
Haha I love this backstory. Makes the pranks even better to know it's just part of the deal in your relationship and not just for social media!
You're so right - the Marx Brothers were truly classic, brilliant comedians! But, there were actually five Marx Brothers. Although their act was most frequently a trio, comprised of Groucho, Harpo and Chico, occasionally their other two brothers, Zeppo and Gummo, joined the act.
He knows when to prank and when to listen, both keep on laughing. Jolly good.
Have you read the Alice Winters 'Darkness' series? Felix and Lane are the ultimate 'my partner is blind and I love to prank him' couple. And... there's an audible version of all three books.
I look forward to your videos, and seeing how much you two love each other. Kudos!
Matthew and Paul have such warm, loving and positive energy ❤
i really like how you share so much good content before you move to the extended episode stuff. I would love to be able to support your Patreon, but I can't. You really hit the sweet spot for great content for your casual viewers and intriguing things for your paying viewers. I really appreciate that.
Love seeing Maple in the background now!
Your pranks are the highlight of my random social media surfing. My favourites were the lamp one and the time you pretended to be Maple!
What Harry Potter would have been if he grow up with his parents and Sirius 😂. Prnakster and very funny and self-confident person.
I love your videos so much~ The pranks make me laugh a lot. Honestly, it's nice to see your relationship succeed so much. I deal with mental disabilities and they always make me fear future relationships.
when in doubt, use Hermitcraft SMP rules: "we prank hard, but we clean up harder"
Never have I ever thought about paying to be a member before... but I need to for you guys
Good for them. Pranking is in fun , never to confuse or upset and it brings much happiness to Paul. Hugs to them both and lick to Mr Maple
Now we know why Matthew fell in love with Paul. The ideal prankee.
One other good prank rule thats important is not causing emotional distress. Matthew kind of touched on it with "they need to enjoy the prank" but it srsly surprises me the amount of stories i read or hear about someone pranking a loved one by pretending to be hurt, or that a loved one passed away, and then are surprised that the prankee doesnt just emotionslly bounce back from the distress they felt at the prank
You guys are great. Really wanted to hear matthew talk more at his own pace about his family and growing up in this video though. Sounds so interesting! Paul - please let him talk about himself sometimes without interrupting lol! Xx
A sense of humor is a must. Pranking is still very sensitive and depends on the person as long as Paul is ok with it. We are all protective of Paul,
The Marx Brothers were a quintet. Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo (straight-man to his brothers in many of the films), and Gummo (mostly worked in the business side of entertainment, if I remember correctly).
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE VIDEO ❤
I am SO bad at handling practical jokes or pranks. I think part of it is being an only child but the biggest part was, when I was in first grade, my baby sitter picked me up from school and on the car ride home she said "I am so sorry to tell you this but your parents were in a horrible car accident and they didn't make it."
I was 7 so I started screaming and crying immediately and I didn't think about any of the logistical improbabilities like my parents being at work in different cities. BUT I WAS 7!
and then my baby sitter starts laughing and screams "APRIL FOOLS"
Almost 30 years have passed since then but I still hate pranks because of that moment.
It makes me so happy that you said u love these little pranks by Matthew because I was so ready to be furious on your behalf. Ur a much better sport than me 😂
I ordered a Dragon Fruit picture and signed calendar for my fiancé’s Christmas present, and just got it in the mail today. They look wonderful, and I wish you a happy holiday and love-filled life with your Matthew and Mr. Maple.
That is awesome!
We need a sweater collection design by both of you!!! Love all of them ❤
Maybe one day!
I love Matthew’s pranking rules. ❤❤
I've worried about this so much for 2 days 😂❤ thank you for clarifying
I was born in a family like Matthews! We usually prank 24/7! My mom never knows if me and my brother are joking or being serious lol my mom usually don’t like pranks since she has to clean up after the pranker 😅
"don't prank blind strangers." I'm both laughing and crying. How can this be a rule. It clearly HAS to be a rule
Can't wait to read the Prankster Family children's book lol
😂
The My Little Pony Friendship is Magic episode “28 Pranks Later” shows how Rainbow Dash sometimes tends to go too far with her pranks without really meaning anything bad by it.
Personally I don’t do pranks (including April Fools jokes) because I know what it is like to be pranked and I don’t like it. On the other hand I will sometimes watch prank videos if the person being pranked doesn’t seem to mind it.
Leaving feeling incomplete - glad your special fans get to hear about the fun.
This!! i came from a short to watch this whole thing and stil did not know what it was. it feel really click bate and unfair to first say hi watch that video but not saying it was not in it…
