Guy gets instant karma after trying to hurl an egg at his friend's back

Pranks: we all love them, don't we? Well, that is, unless you're the recipient of one. Pranks can come in all shapes and forms, whether it's simply swapping numbers on your mate's phone so that he texts his sister thinking it's his girlfriend, or, like Khloe Kardashian, spending a lot of money exposing your mum for her lack of art knowledge. Whatever the reason and whatever to the method, they usually end up pretty hilarious... especially if they involve eggs.

Eggs, yes, eggs - those glorious sources of protein and deliciousness, are the ultimate pranking tool. Due to the gooey liquid that they contain, smashing, throwing or cracking an egg on someone is bound to be funny... As these guys found out.

Now, I'm not too sure as to the context of this video, all I can work out is that it is some sort of forfeit. One man, who is the unlucky recipient of the forfeit, is forced to stand with his back to his evil friend. The friend, on the other hand, looks delighted. In his hand, he has an egg that he is seemingly going to launch in the direction of his friend and it'll smash all over his back.

Sounds pretty simple, right? Well... it's not really.

As you can see in the clip above, the man wheels up his shot, launches the egg as hard as he can and somehow manages to pocket the egg in a gap between his friend's arm and his side. The egg doesn't crack, the recipient survives and the thrower ends up red-faced.

As a result of the blunder, the topless victim gets to have a shot at his mate, but misses completely, leaving the egg - the true victim of this story - smashed on the muddy floor.

If there's one lesson to take from this story, it's that you should never play darts with this guy - you'll only end up with one in your eye.
